one of the most select and elegant So

known this season. It was celebrated
Tuesday evening with about sixty

been extended to the gentlemen and
quite a large representation Of the
latter was present.
Mrs Williams received without as

assisted Mrs. B. NJ Cheney. chairman
of the serving committee, in the din
ing room. These included Mesdames
Sidney veaco. E. V. Walton of Indiana
Rarbor, and W. R. Diamond.
Many exquisite costumes were worn
by the members and their guests, and
the decorations which were in the
club flower, pink carnations, were
tastefully arranged. The table had a
center piece of these.
The hostess was gowned in a com
bination of white cloth and messaline
rather severely fashioned. with but
tons for ornaments. and Mrs. John D

In the case decided yesterday. how

This decision, it is believed. will en-

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. April %. The
supreme court. yesterday afternoon,
handed down a decision that is of ex-
IRENE Importance to manufacturers
and owners of factories in which ma
chinery is used. It affected what is
commonly known as the factory law"
This law says that all pans. watts, saws,
planners and a few other kinds Of ma
chinery dangerous in their character,
in a factory shall be enclosed by
guards constructed BY the owner. This
was done in order that in the trial of
damage suits for personal injuries the
manufacturer might show that ha had
taken the necessary legal precautions
when he guarded the dangerous ma
chinery, and thus escape the payment
of damages if an employee was hurt.
Up to this time the holding Of the
courts has been that the law did not
require the owner to guard other ma
chinery besides those kinds named spe-
cifcally in the law. This. Of course,
