Last evening was the scene of
brilliant dinner party at Fort Kruger
when Major and Mrs. Edward ].
Timberlake entertained in honor of
Major and Mrs. Archibald Campbell.
The dinner parties presided over
by these hosts have become famous
feature of the military post, and their
reputation has spread through civil
circles. The originality and artistic
skill of Mrs. Undertake have render
cd her dinners notable for variety of
ensemble, and distinctive style. A
low wicker basket formed the neucleus
CT the table decorations last evening.
From the basket tumbled in profu-
sion, and in a variety of pastel shad-
ing, huge clusters of pale blue and
delicate lavender hydrangeas. Sur
mounting this array of floral beauty
scared a graceful butterfly bow of
delicate blue illusion while a closely
woven oval garland of myriads of
blue violets encircled the area of the
centerpiece. Following the outline of
this stood four tall silver candelabra,
surmounted by violet shades, whence
dropped a fringe of amethyst and

Grated for the ceremony and the
church will be crowded to the doors
with friends of the young couple. The
High Church ritual is always i'm
plessive, the tall Italian candles con-
tributing to the sacred environment
In the bridal party will be Miss
Sarah Lucas, an intimate friend, and
Miss Edith Williams, a sister of
the bride.
Following these Miss Williams will
advance on the arm of Mr.. Benjamin
Lodge Marx who will give her away.
And following will come the brides
maids, all children who have been
named as the little Misses Mary
Weaver, Ida Weaver, Alice Moore,
Clara Moore. and Eloise Moore.
Mr.. Cartwright's best man will be
III. Hedemann.
The colors selected by Miss Will
liams reveal her artistic sense which
has been developed by her years of
tlavel abroad.
The Pompadour shades will prevail
in the gowns and flowers of the
bridal party.
The bride herself will wear a robe
Of white Liberty satin elaborately
trimmed with Brussels lace, and it will
lie unique in that the fingers of this
charming girl will have created it.
She will carry a shower boquet of
pure white orchids.
Miss Lucas and Miss Williams re-
sDectively and the little bridesmaids
will wear pale pink and blue silk
mousseline respectively so decidedly
French in character, and will carry
their flowers in boquets a la Madame
Pompadour, French combinations of
all the pastel shades.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
an elaborate reception will be held at
the home of the brides sister Mrs
Benjamin Lodge Marx, the Wichman
residence on Victoria and Khan
streets, to which over thousand in
vitations will soon be issued.
The honeymoon will be spent in
the home of the young couple, in Pun.
nuL near the Country Club, which
was recently purchased from DR.. Cliff

nothing for me to do except stop in at

THE Scarlet Woman was the new
girl in the kitchen. The White
Woman was the mistress Of the
house. and Of the love OF her husband
and one son.
OF course. the White Woman did
not know of the stain on the other
But night after night she heard the
mos: heart-broken sobs, smothered by
distance and an effort to quiet them.
At last she concluded that under her
clean, happy, honorable roof tree there
was some one miserable. It was hardly
believable.
She watched her maid. and red>eSes
and trembling hands told the truth
that the mourning one was actually
washing her dishes three times a day.
She questioned her.
They All Do.
The Scarlet Woman lied. They all
do. They know they have to protect
themselves from the righteous rage
Of the women they have not harmed.
She said she was homesick.
The sweet White Woman was
touched. She was tender. She was
reassuring. Time would make her feel
more contented, she told the girl. And
she rhapsodized to her husband and
son about the sweet nature and fine
heart Of a girl who could be so torn
with anguish at separation from home.
The Scarlet Woman worked, so
faithfully. She had been through
hell-a doubly dark and painful one
because so lonely! This was her
chance. She would repair, she would
rebuild. she would live again in self
respect and self-support. She would
keep her baby in the home till she
had saved money enough to have It
with her.

her poor child saw the light had

She'll Remember That
Thank you. John" replied Mrs
Peeved, sweetly. TN remember that"
There was a ring at the doorbell, and
a few moments later Della appeared at
the door struggling with a great square
cardboard box.
OH cried Mrs. Peeved, It's my
new hat. John. it's a perfect love, and
I know you'll be glad to pay twelve
dollars when you see 1t. Della, Is the
girl waiting for the money!"
Mr.. Peeved, without an audible word,
but with a face that expressed at least
half a dozen emotions, slowly reached
down into his pocket and counted out
twelve dollars.

An Enemy for Her Sex
The White Woman had turned loose
the Scarlet one to prey upon her at
every chance. She had made an en-
emy Of her sex. She had filled a heart
with the kind of bitterness which
finds no satisfaction except in re-
venge. She had exposed her son and
husband to the temptation she had
driven from her home. She had put
purpose into malevolence. She had
let herself forget that men have only
to look to see temptation. She had
neglected to keep in mind that the
