Time has certainly moved on wings
fhis year, and here we are planning
for Thanksgiving, Christmas and the
New Year when it still seems the heart
of summer. Affairs have been few as
society always makes it propitiatory Of
ferings to benefioent deeds before be.

parties and other festivities. The cul-

for the Y. w. G. A. has been most
gratifying and the donations which
were generously offered played no small
part in the success of the undertaking.
This week has been a busy one, and
there have been number of delightful
affairs, one of the most attractive be-
ing the dinner over which Mrs. Ruben
Boise presided, as farewell attention
to Mrs. William Knighton. The board

with gorgeous fluffy yellow and white
chrysanthemums with covers for: Mr..

Mrs. Henry Meyers, Mrs. Eugene Brey-
man, Mr.. and Mrs. John McNary, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles McNary, Mrs. Il. E.

thrown together and the guests enjoyed
