queen of the fairies continued:

Hail! my Fairies come before us,
Bringing presents for the bride;
She's SO fair and sweet and gentle,
To fill her heart with loves our
pride.
Then the little fairies piled the
gifts in her lap and all around her,
and then, greatly to the surprise and
delight of all, kissed the bride, one on
enc cheek and one on the other, and
then showered her with rice from
pretty little heart-shaped bags. This
little tableau was very sweet and eff
fective, and the young bride-elect was
quite overwhelmed with delight.
Continuing, the queen of the fairies
concluded her verses as follows, there
by indicating to the assembled guests
the entertainment the hostess had
provided for them. Pointing to her
bow and arrow, she said:
To each maid chance is given,
Soon to be the next bride so fair,
With this bow and silver arrow
Pierce through the pink heart in
the air.
The fairies then disappeared in the
accredited way of fairies. and after
the guests had enjoyed the pleasure
of looking at all the pretty gifts the
bride had received from her friends,
the fun of trying to pierce the heart
over the brides chair began, and for
some time this diversion proved quite
amusing.
Unfortunately not single young
girl present was able to pierce the
heart, which BODIES i'll for future
brides of our city, but we feel sure
that busy little Cupid isn't going to
allow any of them to escape anyway.
Late in the afternoon chicken salad,
cranberry jelly, sandwiches, pickles,
heart-shaped cheese straws Qinked
together) and punch was served.
Assisting the hostess during the aft
ernoon were Mrs. T. H. Johnson, Mrs.
E. c. Bennett, Mrs. w. T. Gary and
Mrs. G. C. Looney.
Miss johnson was attractively
gowned for this affair in white cloth
suit and a pretty white hat, and her
flowers were red roses.
Mrs. Bridges was gowned in blue
satin, with trimmings of black lace.
Her guests for the afternoon included
the young society set and a few of
the special married friends of the hon
or guest, about forty-five enjoying this
, lovely affair.

MRS. BRIDGES GIVES BEAUTIFUL
PARTY FOR POPULAR
BRIDE-ELECT

The T. E. Bridges home was the
scene of a very beautiful party Mon
day afternoon, when Mrs. Bridges add
ed to the numerous hours of pleasure
provided for Miss Clara Johnson, a
very popular bride-elect CT the com
ing month.
Mrs. Bridges great artistic talent
was evidenced in every detail of the
decorations of her pretty little home.
The veranda, which is almost hidden
from the street by the most wonder
full growing ferns, had added for this
affair many bowls of brilliant red sal
via blossoms and hanging baskets of
beautiful red and white roses. In one
corner was very lovely little arbor
of soft, feathery ferns, climbing over
trellis work of red, beneath which
was the punch table, decorated with
more of the red SALIVA. The two pref
ty girls presiding here during the aft
ernoon were Misses Tommie Standby
and Ruby Gissendaner.
The interior of the home was even
lovelier than was to have been ex-
pected from the exterior. The walls
were covered with ferns, vines and
strings of red hearts, prettily used in
every conceivable way, and at every
vantage point was big basket of the
SALIVA, the chief. decorative motif of
this affair.
In the archway dividing the living
room and the music room hung sin
gle big pink heart, tied with pink
tulle, under which was the seat of
honor for the bride-elect.
When the guests had all arrived, at
a given signal Miss Ethel Haycraft at
the piano, and Miss Mary Conner, vio-
lin, played beautiful nuptial> music,
and as the last notes were dying away
Miss Elizabeth Bennett, queen of the
fairies, appeared with her magic wand
and silver tipped bow and arrow, re-
citing effectively, while the soft vio-
lin notes accompanied her, the follow
ing pretty verses, composed by the
hostess:
My little friends, the Fairies,
Have been whispering secrets to
me.
They tell me cunning Cupid
Sweet Clara Johnson has been to
see.
He shot her as she motored
Through moss-draped Lovers Lane,
Riding with a handsome fellow
DR.. Walters is his name.
Now little lovers cottage,
On a broad and shaded street,
Will soon be twined with roses
That will blossom at her feet.
Her friends have heard the bell
chimes
That are ringing everywhere,
And my wand has touched their heart

| Till their gifts are all now here.
Just here the queen paused, and
! two smaller fairies, Frances Gary
and Alfred Blakney, slipped in, push
ing little red carts loaded with gifts
of linen for the bride-elect, while the

Did you ever take a ride on big
roller coaster about half mile long
and find yourself fairly gasping for
breath, though thrilled by pleasure, as
you made the deep dips and sharp
turns? If you have experienced the
sensation you know why some persons
are so crazy about it that they refuse
to get off until they have taken a dozen
rides or more.
A gigantic roller coaster has been
erected at the Minnesota State Fair
Grounds this summer that is said to
be one Of the largest ever built in the
Middle West. It will please thousands
at the Fair, SEPT. 7-12. A cable car
ries the two-seated car to the top,
which is so high that view ofsall the
grounds is afforded. Then the car is
suddenly released, and a long deep dip
is taken that leaves a great empty
space in your stomach. You shoot up
hill, take sharp turn, another dip,
dozen more ascents, dips, and dives,
and back you are again ready for an
other ride. $50 ,ss IN
Near the coaster big CarOusell,

REVIVAL OF INDUSTRY

New York, Aug 8.-There are in
dications of reviving activity in
finance and industry. From the steel
trade comes reports of higher prices
and a more active inquiry.
Distribution of emergency currency
to the New York banks continued, but
the banks made no urgent demands
and the money went out slowly. ,...
Efforts were made at a meeting of
bankers and bond dealers to stop

period of the stock exchange suspen.
