AS automobiling is so much IN vogue
Mr.. Hook and his bride will most
likely motor through California this
summer and in the fall will come back
to town and spend a few months with
Mrs, s. w. Hook at her beautiful home
in West Adams street, where they Will
be at home to the many friends on
Wednesday afternoons in october. and
as Miss Pearce is fond Of travelling
fancy they will go abroad later in the
winter and motor on the continent and
take in Egypt before returning, and
they will live in Mr.. Hooks home IN
