LITTLE STORIES OF THE WEEK
Monday afternoon, Mrs. C. B. Wuth

Monday afternoon, Mrs. C. B. Wuth
was the honor guest at beautifully
appointed tea given by the members
of the st. Paul Guild at the home of
Mrs. E. w. Trenbath. She will leave
the last of the week to join her son
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. w. B.
With, in Chicago and the family will
make their home there for the win
ter. 1t is with regret that her many
friends in this vicinity say goodbye,
but wish her a pleasant journey and
will be glad to welcome her back at
any time.
Mr.. and Mrs. P. C. Book and daugh-
ter, Mrs. A. C. Anon and two child
rem, Gerald and Thelma, left Tuesday
evening for an extended visit with
relatives and friends in the east. They
will visit first at the home of Mrs.
Books sister, Mrs. D. S. Stoddard, at
McHenry, North Dakota, for week
then to Perry, Iowa, where their son,
c. p. Book and family reside. After
two weeks stay there they will
spend the remainder of the winter
with relatives and old friends near
their old home at DesMoines, Iowa.
Sunday evening, while starting the
front lights, the Ford belonging to
S. R. Harper caught fire in front of
the j. A. Penn residence, and had it
not been for the quick work of A. C.
Brown and others, serious damage
probably would have resulted, as ten
gallons of gasoline were put into the
tank only few hours before the fire.
Wind, rain and dark skies last Mon
day afternoon did not cast any gloom
over the happy group of friends of
Mrs. H. A. Davenpeck, who had gath
cred in the coy parlors of the Grant
A. Stewart home to congratulate Mrs.
Davenpeck on her seventy-fifth birth
day, and the happicst one of all was
the honor guest. Flowers, gifts and
telephone messages from absent
friends and relatives were continuous
thruout the day. A large centerpiece
of beautiful green "kinniekanick" with
its red berries, all cool and spicey
from the mountains near Laurier, was
gay with seventy-five tiny candles all
burning brightly, made the dining
table picture long to be remembered
Sheridan Delepine, Miss Shier and
Mrs. John Brog added much to the
afternoons pleasure with their music
and songs. In the evening the w. R
c. called in body to give Mrs. Dav-
enpeck chrysanthemum shower, and
made the. rooms one big bower Of
flowers and with their good wishes
merry laughter, music and song round
ing out very happy day.
That the ladies of Kennewick ar,
interested in politics was fully dem
onstrated last Tuesday evening by tn,
large number who gathered in thu
Masonic hall to await the election re
turns. The Commercial club, assiste'
by some of the ladies, had prepares
the hall for their headquarters and |
regular messenger service supplies
them with the latest reports as sool
as received by the club. Cards fur
nished amusement to those who wishe,
to play and seven tables of Progressive
bridge were played honors going t
Mrs. A. R. Gardner. But when Ted
the messenger boy appeared, all in
terest was lost in the Fascinating
game until the report was read an
discussed and the leading candidat
cheered by his supporters. Refresh
ments of coffee and cake were serve
late in the evening and later a few o
the men came to join them in tn
bridge game. 1t was very pleasan
evening and a happy thought of tn
Commercial club to provide this en-
tertainment for the ladies, and nue.
appreciated by them.
