The house was deliberately decorat-
ed in autumn leaves, smilaX and car

being decorated in pink carnations
and smilax.
After the ceremony a dainty break
fast was served, after which Mr.. and
Mrs. MANUEL left for Chicago, where
they will visit for several weeks

ABERDEEN BABIES
WIN FIRST PRIZE
Handsome Youngsters Capture High
Awards at County Fair-Judges
Have Puzzling Time

OF the scores of pretty babies care
fully arranged to attract the eyes of
the judges, the Aberdeen product
takes the cake, according to the de-
cision rendered Friday afternoon, and
there is no reason to believe that
there will be an appeal to this de-
cision.
There were 40 entries all told
when the judges began to size up
the bunch and it was with con-
test that they ventured to render
their final verdict. 1t had to be done
however, and as result the prize
for the prettiest baby was awarded
to Clara Schuntz of Aberdeen, with
Adelbert Eddy of North Aberdeen a
close second. 1t was almost a case
of "heads and tails" with the judges
but Miss Clara won out-just won
and that was all.
The prize for the prettiest brown
eyed baby went to Dora c. Cooley Of
Cosmopolis, and the brown-eyed chap
with the prettiest eyes was John B.
Meyer, the stocky son of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Myers of this city. Mar
garet Baisch of Aberdeen carried off
the first prize for the prettiest blue
eyed girl.
The prettiest black-eyed baby was
Muriel Gradl, of Aberdeen, and the
second best in this class Agnes Coe
of Aberdeen.
For curly-haired beauty Richard
Kolts of Aberdeen, got the prize and
Jane Cox of Aberdeen, the second
prize.
Margaret Nelson, of Aberdeen, was
the finest fat baby and Charley Wal
ton, of Aberdeen, the second latest
in the minds of the judges.
