The Minot. Reporter says: with
the marriage of two popular young
people the last of the twenty Ken
mare boys who were among the orig
inal settlers of this thrifty little city
five years ago passes into the order
of the Benedicts. Just about five
years back when Kenmare was
baby city these progressive men ar
rived and went with all their hearts
to make Kenmare first class little
city. There were twenty of them and
they did not organize club and take
the VOWS of everlasting bachelorhood
as might be supposed. 1t was even
rumored that they looks VOWS ex-
astly contrary to this. 1t looks like
it any way, for in the five years, when
on Tuesday of this week John E.
Showers married charming Ken
mare girl, Miss Theresa Kehellek, the
twentieth took unto himself wife.
And they are all men of worth and
the selected girls are among the most
delightful to know"
Success is possible to any woman
who is blessed with health and
strength and an ambition to learn
and to keep on learning. 1t is the
temperament that can work without
encouragement, that refuses to be
dismayed by repeated failure, and
that has certain faith that what has
been done by one may be done by
another-that is the temperament that
wins out sooner or later. There is
no question that in every life there
is certain element of luck. But
the lucky ones are those who have
their eyes focused for every passing
opportunity, who listen to other peo-
pies ideas, who read and study and
think, and who utilize every passing
moment. The man or woman who
dislikes work will always be drift
er. He or she may have success, but
without tireless energy will never
work to the utmost capacity.

A dinner party was given by young
matron of Philadelphia for which the
invitations read, ITO help my mother
celebrate her seventy-fifth birthday"
The women were asked to wear cos
tunes which were fashionable in
Civil war times, when the guest of
honor was belle in her circle. The
men came in conventional evening
clothes, but nearly all of the women
appeared in the quaint costumes of
long ago and their hair dressed up
in keeping with the style. One of
the guests said: "There were bust
les and Dolly Warden skirts, chignons
and old time bangs. Some of the
women wore side curls and others
had their hair done up in nets A
few of the younger girls became de-
formities for the time being by af-
fecting the Grecian bend with which
their grandmothers had fascinated
the susceptible men in the days of
their youth" The most notable feat
ures of the remarkable costume party,
however, were the hoopskirts, of
which there were many.
The house in which the dinner and
dance took place is a modernly large
one and the company was not Of I'M
usual size, but the hoopskirts had the
effect Of giving the place a crowded
appearance and the woman expressed
the opinion that the accidental ex-
pertinent clearly demonstrated that
the reintroduction of the hoop skirt
need not be feared. Flathouses,
bridge brushes, bargain counters and
crowded trains will make it impos-
sible.
Williams usually get what is coming
to t11em-on the stage.
