A SOCIETY
2 EVENT AT
FALLS CITY
THE HORSE EDITOR VENTURES
INTO THE REALMS OF SOCIE-
TY, BUT CONFESSES HE IS
WEAK IN DESCRIPTIVE pow
ERS.

One of the most versatile social
affairs, and one abounding in sur
prises was 800" meet at Falls
City during the week 1t was attend
ed by a party fnom Salem, among
whom We're Mr. and Mrs. j. r. Linn,
Mrs. Percy Cotter and Miss Regina
West, or as her friends call her,
Mean" who holds the record as the
~"e9test auto hoodoo of the North
west. The party left in Mr.. Linn's
auto toward evening, and made the
trip without mishap. 1t seems that
Miss West only consented to go at
the last moment, and objecting even
then on not having time to dress"
was told, "Oh, come along just as
you are,'-which is always the acme
Of perfection.
This Is all right among men, but
with the ladies, God bless EN- it is
different. They either have to put
something on or take something of, If
it is only hairpin. 1t was so in this
case, for under the spur of urgency,
Miss West hastily grabbed up a pair
OF slippers and put them in her rid
icule, or whatever the uniform ap-
pendix that all women tote along
with them to carry their plunder in,
is called. On reaching Falls City,
the young lady proceeded to dig out
her slippers, to do the delayed put
something on" act Then she dis
covered that the nigh" slipper was
! hers all right, but the off, one was
decidedly of, for 1t belonged to her
brother, Os, and showed unmistak-
= able signs of wear--probably made
when Its owner slipped up on Bow
Nerman. %
OF course, there is lots of people
in Oregon who would like to be in
the governors shoes, or even slip
! pers.Aor one of tAemsSbut his sister
didn't feel that way, and refused to
wear it. The "50Oi' party was a slas
cess all right, and the Sa1emites
started home shortly after midnight.
There was an invigorating moisture
in the air, too heavy to be Elassed as
dew, and rather too light to be called
rain. When about FIVE 6r six miles
\ from Dallas the auto, which han
been behaving nicely, saw a chance
4 to make itself remembered On "a
narrow embankment with a deep
trench on each side, It suddenly lost
It's breath, and quit. Neither pray
ers, obiurgations, grease, monkey
wrench or muscle could budgS it.
And 90 the party climbed out, tone
carrying a suit case, another some-
thing else, and Miss West valorously
hanging on to the governors slipper,
hiked out afoot for Dallas. They
thought It was mile, and Il was
five and half They reached Dallas
to find the hDtel dark. the fires out,
and the dawn breaking. The balance
OF the party came home by train,
while "Jim" went back with a mule
team after his auto. All of which Is
what gave the AFFAIR such varied
and intensive hilarity, and put It in
a social class by itself.

and build a park on one Of the CEN
trail blocks of the city Of Corning,
N. Y. This block was a barren hill
side. The ground was hardpan and
quicksand. The lower side was a
steep bluff of over thirty feet in
height, from which great masses of
quicksand washed down into the
street below every spring. A COM
mission had been chartered some
twenty-five years ago to improve this
block. and after consulting with en-
gineers it was advised that nothing
short of $4,000 would be sufficient to
do the grading alone. l believed that
all this expense was unnecessary and
that the ground could be made stable
by proper sloping, sodding and drain
ing.
IAN appropriation Of ST 800 was made
for the beginning of the work, and
this amount was expended the first
year in cutting back the hill or bluft
to a slope of about two to one and in
making parallel bitches about fifteen
feet about. into which were laid por-
Gus tiles and the bitches filed with
gravel. with cobblestones placed on
top. The slopes were then covered
with a few inches Of good earth and
sodded. the sods being held by strips
of wood and stakes. The following
spring the people who had been incred-
ulous were surprised to see the slope
remain firm and perfect.
1.-THE second year. with an appropria-
ton of $4,000, the grading Of the en-
tire block was finished. and the third
year the rest of the grounds were
seeded, walks built and trees. shrubs
and flowers planted. Paths were grad
ed diagonally across the block so as
to give as uniform a grade as possible.
and on the upper part two large cir
Giles were placed. which were intersect,
ed by the diagonal paths and filled
with shrubbery and flowers. Between
these circles In the center Of the park

RED HATS FOR AMERICANS
Archbishops Farley, O'Connor and

large number of cardinals at the con-
sistory to be held November 27. Most
Rev. John NJ Farley, Archbishop of
New York, and Most Rev. William H.
O'Connell, Archbishop Of Boston, are
among those who will receive the red
hat. Monsignor Diomede Falconio,
apostle lic delegate at Washington, also
will be elevated, according to the an
nouncement.
The selection of the new cardinals
is the subject of interesting comment
owing chiefly to the recognition the
United States has received. Three red
hats have been granted to that coun-
try. Monsignor Falconio is an Ameri-
can citizen and with Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishops Farley and O'Connell
will bring the number of American
prelates up to four.

Wilson's action in accepting an hon

in the growing of grain used by the
brewers "as shabby, and of no merit
