One of the prettiest of spring So
cial affairs was the luncheon party
at the Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Lee
home on First street Saturday after
noon when their daughter, Miss
Marion, presided as hostess.
The spacious living rooms of the
home had the appearance Of having
been encircled by real rainbow, the
decorations being great profusion
of sweetpeas in flower baskets tied
with enormous butterfly bows Of
tulle in all the hues of the rainbow.
The rainbow idea was further car
ried out in the dining room and the
exquisitely appointed luncheon table
bore on a silver plateau large
flower basket filled with white
sweetpeas and it's handle adorned
with the. perkiest of mirage bows.
The nut baskets were small replica of
the flower basket and tiny rainbow
name cards, with individual bouquets
Of the fragrant sweetpeas tied with
ribbons Of tGlle, marked the places
that were laid for fifteen of Miss
Lees most intimate friends. At the
close of the delicious three-course
the guests discovered the
quaintest of folded souvenir cards
under their napkins, the covers of
which depicted dainty country land
scape scenes, encircled by the rain
bow promise in water colors, and
when opened, disclosed in the center
Of a ring of gold the kodak pictures of
Miss Lee and her fiance Mr.. Andrew
of Bengough, Sask., Can
ada, and underneath the date, June
nineteenth" A hint of the appropri-
ateness of the color scheme as car
ried out was enhanced by the fact
that the young people wore mack
intoshes and their pictures snapped
in an imaginary shower. On the in
side cover the leaflet told the time
honored story as follows:
IF you follow the CLEAN of the rain
bow,
You will find at the end, am told,
AS reward for your diligent search
ing,
A fabulous pot full of gold.
We find at the end of our journey
where lovers still meet. as of old,
That Cupid has reached it before
And welded a ring of gold"
The little cards were extremely
artistic, as well as appropriate. and
we're the handiwork of Mrs. Willard
A. Crandall of this city.

divided in three groups, each group
including five young women rep

he unanimous declaration of all
present, but much exceedingly clever
md witty argument was brought out
IN both sides before final decision |
vas reached. Following this the

guests. Mrs. w. L. Macgoey sang
several numbers and
