Shirtwaist Luncheon.

This is the season when the needle.
work girl thinks of the newest wrin-
kles in shirtwaists. Women of club
that meets once week to Sew were
the recipients recently of Invitations
like the following Come to an in
formal luncheon on Tuesday and wear
your latest shirtwaist; bring your
work" The girls expected something
new, and they were not disappointed.
The color scheme was pink, which al
ways seems the proper thing for
young girls, for whom we always ex-
pect things to be "coleur de rose"
A long-stemmed pink carnation was
laid at each place, and this dainty
menu was served-nothing new about
1t, only it just seemed to be the right
thing
Cream OF Tomato Soup.
Cold Veal Loaf. Garnished with Rad
ishes and Cucumbers.
French Fried Potatoes.
Fruit Salad. Cream Cheese and Waters.
Cherry Sherbet with Pink Frosted Cakes.
Pink and White Bonbons. Coffee.
With the dessert walnut-shaped bon
bon boxes were brought In on tray
When opened some contained the fol-
lowing bright conundrums. the an
swers pertaining to shirtwaist:
What does the pugilist give his antag-
onist? Answer-A cuff.
What does Hymen say to the shirtwaist
girl? Answer-My yoke is easy.
When does the president give decid-
ing vote? Answer-When there is a tie.
What is the prettiest thing in a shirt
waist? Answer-Thc girl who wears 1t.
Why Is sawmll wheel like the shirt

wear belts.
The girl who answered all five was
given pair of scissors in case. Aft
er the repast doll was given each
girl to be dressed with materials fur
nished by the hostess. The waist part
had to be a shirtwaist. 1t was very
jolly party and the dolls went to
mission school In Tennessee.
Souvenir Postcard Luncheon.
A girl of 16 planned and carried out
this affair, which was really delight
full. The scheme is adaptable to
church societies and club functions. In
the invitations. which were issued
on postals, the guests were requested
to bring six Of their most interesting
cards and be prepared to tell about
them.
The table centerpiece was ball OF
ferns, in which were stuck wee silk
flags Of all nations. Each girl was
given a foreign postcard and told to
pick out the flag Of the country from
which II came and take her place
nearest to that flag. The girl who had
a card from Bern took the German
colors from the ball. etc.
Bonbon or nut holders we're made
by pasting paper cups on the corners
OF postcards; the guests name was
also written across the card. The ice
cream was white with a stamp on one
corner: the guests initials being done
with small candies.
Afterward postal card stories were
told and the fine collection OF the
hostess was thoroughly enjoyed.

W. A. BRYANT.

Dr. w. A. Briant died at his home in this city on Saturday, September 4th., 1909, of cancer, aged AZ years.
 Our citizenship mournS the loss of one of it's most honored and respected members. By his death our people have lost one in whom they held the highest con- fdence, one whom those who knew him best loved as brother. The city of Hope, the county of Hampstead and the State at large deeply deplore his sad and untimely demise.
 He was born at Falcon, Ark. on April 9th., 1862, the eldest son of Mir. and Mrs. w. E. Bia- ant. The family removed to Hope in 1876, and after attend ing the local schools he finished his literary education at the State University at Fayetteville, afterward graduating in medicine at the the St. Louis Medical College. He was married on March 30th., 1886. to Miss Dee Culley, in this city. In 1889 he removed to Fulton, where he made his home until 1902, in which year he. returned to Hope.
 In May, 1903, he married to Mrs. Mae Wilder, of Harrisburg, Ark, who survives him.
 pr. Briant was very public spirited. and prominent in poll tics. He represented Hampstead County in the Lower House of the general Assemblies of 1899 and 1903, and at the time of his death was his third term as County Judge. He was also a member of the City Council, and prominent In the affairs of that body. He was progressive in his ideas, courageous in his con victions, and gave to his people a service which will long endure.
 His work for the improvement of public highways in Hampstead County will alone prove a monu-

ment to his memory. As a phy-
 sician he was loved by cue people

ment to his memory. As phy- sician he was loved by oue people in a way which will remain a lasting tribute to his high stand ing in that noble profession.
 He was true gentleman, and enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him for his many noble qualities of mind and heart.
 No mar was ever more truly beloved by his friends.
 Deceased was a member of several fraternal orders, aud was buried with Masonic honors. The funeral was held at the home on Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. and was one Of the most largely attended in the history of Hope, a number ot friends from out of town being present, and wealth of beauti- ful floral offerings attested the esteem in which the deceased was held. Services were con- ducted by Rev. Horace Jewell, of the Methodist Church who paid an impressive tribute to the virtues of the deceased. After these services a large cortege accompanied the remains to their st resting place in Cave Hill Cemetery, where they were consigned to Mother Earth by his Brother Masons.
 Dr. Briant is survived by his wife and daughter Hortense Wilder, his daughter, Miss Irma Briant, his mother, Mrs. M. A. Briant. four brothers, s. H. aud P. E. Briant, of this city, and Geo. and Clyde Briant. of Ash down, and three sisters. Mrs. T. K. Billingsley, Mrs. A. M. Sanders and Miss Mamie Briant, of this city. To them in their bereavement, the hearts of his host of friends go 0 ut in tender sympathy, May we so live to emulate his virtues, an when the time come to each of us, may we meet him in that Better world, where parting is no more.

Our Town Poet
DAM GATES.

Oh, those gates, those naughty dam gates, That swing across the side walks morning and nights. How they vex your righteous soul,
 As they stand right out before you like a fright. You leave home in the morning, whistling as yon go, At peace with friend and foe, When bang! you hit that dam gate The very first thing you know. Why do they leave it open to lam you in the face, Or chug you in the stomach belt, Or have you walk around it with good grace, And cause you your religion to re-lace? Oh, neighbor, shut your dam gate, And do not impose upon your tOWnSman Who happens to be out late Nit the Boys"

Start Condemnation Proceedings

Calispel diking district No. l, which
includes several thousand acres of sub
merged land in the Calispel valley, bv
its attorneys, Judson & Rockford, last
week filed with the Superior Court its
petition praying for condemnation of the
necessary easements to complete the
diking, and for an adjustment by jury
of the assessment of benefits and dam
ages to the land holders affected by the
proposed diking project.
F. IL. McLeish and about SO other
land owners are made defendants. The
total approximate cost of diking is esti-
mated at $33 ,648. The lands are divided
into two classes, ga" and ''B.' The
estimated cost for "a class is $l2 an
acre, and "B" $s an acre. The lands
are submerged by an inflow of the
waters from the Pend Oreiiie river in
the Calspel river basin through mar
row passage at Cusick, and it is proposed
tosestablish the dixie at this point.
