chantress carnations and sprays Of
white spirea, stood in the center. the

through the loops Of which were thrust
sprays of the spirea. At either end of
the table were vases Of the carnations
and Spirea and silver candlesticks were
tipped with pink shades. Festoons Of
smilaX encircled the base of the bas-
ket. the vases and the candlesticks,
making a veritable floral bed of the
table with room only for the places Of
the guests which were marked with
little Cupids holding pink bouquets.
Details of the menu suggested the ap-
preaching wedding with the ices as
pink turtledoves and the cakes ana
CONNECTIONS pink hearts.
The dinner party included, besides
the bride and bridegroom elect, the
latter being a brother of the hostess,
DR.. and Mrs. c. B. Wilmer, the brides
parents; Mrs. Phillips, her grandmoth-
er: Miss Ruth Wing, Mr. Howell Pee
pies, Bishop and Mrs. Kinloch Nelson
and Mr and Mrs. Stearns.

home informally with DR.. and Mrs.
Wilmer, receiving their friends in the
afternoon from $3.50 to O'Clock. This
evening from 1880 to 10 o'clock they

ing room, while the dining room will be
! in yellow. A basket of jonquils sur
rounded by yellow shaded candles, and

BULLS AND BEARS
RULING FACTORS
IN STOCK MARKET

New York, Oct. 9.-Opening-stocks
again were under pressure when trad
ing began today, but efforts to depress
the stock market were successfully re-
sisted during most of the morning
trading and indications that the short
interest had been over-extended on
the weeks decline gave the bulls more
confidence. Experimental buying was
rewarded with some encouragement
from large speculative interests, which
were active in marking up some of the
popular stocks. A quick turn came
shortly before noon, however, and in
a few minutes the laborioue efforts OF
the bulls were undone. An outbreak
of foregn liquidation in Canadian Pa
ciffc, which depressed it points, up
set the market, which returned about
to yesterdays prices. Southern Pa
cifc and Rock Island pfd. estabHshed
new low records for the year. Union
Pacific went down to 1924, the bot
tom figure since the long decline set
in, and Reading and Amalgamated
were also extremely weak. BondE
were easy.
