CITY EDITOR LYLE ABBOTT,
HE GETS MARRIED

Lyle Abbott, the handsome young
man who "shoyels" the city stuff on
the Arizona Republican, was recently
caused to be the husband Of Miss
Marjorie Mines, daughter of the edi-
tor Of the Prescott-Journal Miner, j.
w. Mines, by Dean Mccormick Of the
Episcopalian church in Los Angeles
last week. Mrs. Mines-Abbott is a
handsome young lady, we know for
we had the pleasure Of meeting her.
Abbott has a long record Of Ter
rors" which we refuse to call to mind,
but on the other hand, he seems to
have jerked many more good ones
during his spectacular career which
really dominates him for a splendid
place on the ticket when Father Time
hands him out his 49,"
Generally speaking, the newspaper
boys who know him are all willing to
mark an tx" after his name, polite
ally speaking.

Miss Suratt says that parasols were
never made for use. In Eastern
countries, she declares, they are the
insignia of royalty and power. On the
sculptured remains of Nineveh and
Egypt are no end of Kings walking
in procession with umbrellas carried
over their heads.
Some day, Miss Suratt says, she is
going to make an umbrella collection.
She has heard of the existence of \
rain-tree in Peru, and she's going to
equip herself for voyage to South
America in search of the tabled vege-
table monster.
This tree has the power of collect
ing moisture from the atmosphere,
condensing it, and dropping it in a
continuous and copius shower from
the leaves.
ct must be great for the natives"
says Miss Suratt. Fancy having a
continual shower bath just outside
ones door"

Woman's Advisory Board

On next Saturday, November 18th,
the general meeting for the month
will convene in Emerson hall. The
Advisory Board will meet prior to the
general meeting at 2 o'clock. The
general meeting will be in charge Of
the Music department and will doubt
less be a program Of much interest.
The unusual part Of the program will
be the bringing in Of the dollars and
the recital connected with each. Just
now it is a question where all the dol
lars are coming from as one other
unpleasant reminder is to the effect
that club dues are being collected just
now for at least one pressing bill, the
year books. A notice this week has
doubtless brought response from
most Of the club members. Let all
make an extra effort to be present
tomorrow. For two months the
weather has hindered an attendance
of any great strength but every indi-
cation as present is for an aspicious
club day tomorrow.

Valeska Suratt not only possesses
a parasol that cannot be opened, but
she also defends the possession of it.
Parasols are mere ornaments, she
says, and in recognition of this fact,
she has had this one made for the
sole purpose of being ornamental.
"If ! get caught in the rain," says
Miss Suratt, 81 make chase for my
car. If the sun is too hot, | turn on
the fan in my car. A parasol is of no
more earthly use than beauty patch.
That's the reason l designed this one
that doesn't open"
The parasol, which Miss Suratt had
made while she was working in Will
liam Fox's new picture in which she
stars, "The Straight Way" has long
ebony handle, and a loose black lace
covering. The folds of the material
are bound together tightly around the
bottom Of the rod; at the top, they
are allowed to drape freely. Spangled
across the lace are many brilliant
amethysts. At the tip of the handle
is single diamond.

Miss Elaine Rabbit Has Birthday

Miss Elaine Babbitt entertained
about twenty-five little friends on last
Monday afternoon from four to seven.
Some of the young folks knew it was
Elaine's birthday and such an array
of pretty things as were on display!
The suggestion of Halloween was
everywhere manifest--jack o'lanterns
and strings of apples and doughnuts
for which the children eagerly tried
to reach and claim their own. At
seven an appetizing little supper was
served and the guests were all seated
at one long table where fun reigned
supreme. Dainty little Halloween
souvenirs were found at each place
and boxes of candy for all. Those
enjoying this good time were: Elaine
Rabbit, Evelyn Rickle, Eunice Bah
bitt, Eunice Woods, Marjorie Robin
son, Teresa Michaelbach, Cecilia
Prochnow, June and Mary Charlebois,
Mary Francis, Loretta and Anne Jak-
lie, Dorothy Bader, Margaret and Luz
ellie Koch, Dorothy Hyde, Virginia
Brown, Genevive Garrett, Bertha
Kunzelman, Anna Kunzelman and
Anne Amelia Noble.

Rebekahs Entertain Odd Fellows

The Rebekahs too came in for their
share of Halloween fun. The night
of the regular meeting of the Odd
Fellows an unusual treat was in store
for them although not until the lights
were extinguished and the doors
locked did the ghosts begin to walk.
Seventeen spooky figures appeared
and after the first shock Of surprise
and fright was over it developed that
the seventeen fantastic figures were
none other than sister Rebeccas who
had come amply provided with bask-
cts Of pies, gingerbread, fruit and
cocoa. To say an enjoyable time was
had is quite unnecessary.

Miss Paxton's home was the scene
of avery pretty dinner party given
Monday evening in honor of Mrs. AL

birthday anniversary.
The dining room was effectively

dinner the guests were entertained
with music and dancing.
Covers were laid for the following:

INTERESTING EVENTS In

the Board may have chosen badly in
setting election night for the Library
night for the month, yet it is graft
flying to know that the response on
the part Of the ladies was most cor
dial. They will possibly be disap-
pointed to know that only ten dollars
was cleared and that due to the gen.
erousity Of Mr.. Costigan, but our ex-
penses for the month will be helped
out by the silver offering from the
teas which will help materially. The
reports from these social affairs are
still coming in and several have do
mated two dollars who had not been
asked to give teas as the board were
careful not to select too many in one
neighborhood.

AFTERNOON AT CARDS

Halloween continued to be the mo-
tiff Of several affairs given late last
week. Last Friday afternoon was a
perfect day for any event but most
particularly suspicious for an after
noon bridge. A large concourse Of
ladies in new fall creations were seen
making their way to the home of Mrs.
Katherine Mcmillan, for on this after
noon from 2:30 to Mrs. Mcmillan
was a most delightful hostess to over
forty ladies.
The spacious rooms were more than
adequate for this number and showed
a profussion of the late fall flowers
which lent tinge Of autumn to the
affair. The Halloween suggestion
was well carried out in the clever lit
tie score-cards with their quaint fig
ures and vivid colored tassels. At
five most delicious lunch in two
courses was served by the hostess who
was assisted by the Misses Claire
Campbell, Elizabeth Hennessey and
Margaret Babbitt, after which the
guests assured Mrs. Mcmillan of a
most enjoyable afternoon and left for
their homes.
The guests included Mesdames Yer

Prediction affairs have been at "a
white heat all this past week. The
week was started off by the Repub-
lican rally on Wednesday, and this
was followed by the Democratic con-
tingent on the evening of the third.
Both of these gatherings were held
in the schoolhouse, and the attend
ance was very gratifying in both
cases, although, owing to the pre-
valence of Democrats in the precinct,
the attendance at the meeting of that
party was some fifty per cent the
heaviest. Practically all of the coun-
ty candidates were present, and a
number of good talks were made.
May the best side win on Tuesday.
