Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-01-25

One of the nerve-racking mistakes
in newspaper work occurred in this
department last week, when the editor
accredited the wrong couple with
celebrating wedding anniversary.
A few copies came off the press be-
fore the error was discovered, and
they have caused no end of good
ratured raillery.
Even the society editor is not in
fallible, as is proven by this most
amusing builder, for which she alone
is responsible.
Ash Wednesday comes this year on
the fifth of February, the earliest pos
sible, with one exception, which is the
fourth, No time will this again oc-
cur until the year two thousand and
eight.
The winter season has been marked
with no more charming and brilliant
affair than the musicale given by Mrs,
William Brown, Mrs. w. H. Eldridge
and Mrs. Clifford Brown, which
claimed the attention Of society on
Thursday afternoon.
For this smart event the beautiful
lodge rooms in new Masonic Temple
were profusely decorated with palms
and ferns in great clumps and other
arrangements about the rooms. Ore
gon-grape and clusters Of pale pink
carnations with asparagus fern made
further adornment. The banquet hall
finished entirely in creamy white, was
used for the musicale; tall palms and
ferns carried out a decorative motif
in green. The piano rested on dias
ornamented with palms and ferns in
large green jars, and great cluster
of pink carnations in tall cut glass
vase. A brass stand held candelabrum
of silver with green tapers and at
either side of the instrument were
crystal sticks holding green candles
Rugs and screens, with pillows and
cosy corners, added to the the beauti-
full interior finish and made the sur.
roundings luxurious. The brilliant
overhead lighting of the banquet hall
and the soft tan window coverings
gave final touch Of beauty. The
hostesses received in the big loung-

brocaded satin, the skirt drapery held
