On Monday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Pyle gave an informal re-
ception for Mr.. and Mrs. Lee at
the hotel, to which intimate
friends and old neighbors of the
| family were invited. The as

the warm friendship and sincere
good fellowship of this commun-

The spacious rooms of the
hotel were artistically decorated
with flowers and the tables of the
dining room were covered with
beautiful and useful gifts from
the many friends of the bride in
the far east as well as from those
in the west.
Conspicuous among the gifts
were d number of useful and or
namental articles made by the
manual training classes of the
Seattle schools, where Miss Par
lSer was a favorite teacher for
some time before her marriage,
and these gifts will be fully ap.
preciated when she begins house
keeping.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pyle presented
the happy couple with a substan,

A European ruler was pushed gent

and the world is far on its way to-
ward forgetting him. His realm is
readjusting itself and the former ruler
is doubtless happier than he ever was
as the sovereign OF disconnected
people. Something of his piteous
swan song remains in the memories
of those who read it.

The ruler. weak, ineffective, a fail
ure as he was, uttered the wish that is
in the hearts Of most men and women,
his superiors in strength. 1t was a
longing for 1ife's holiday. II was the
yearning OF harassed maturity for the
peace OF old age.
Why dread age? AS well dread
calm after storm.
The nub of the matter is that we
dread the passing of the scepter of
strength. II our energy might re-

vain women would wish to avoid life's
evening. For, as to many twilight
is the most beautiful part of the day,
old age is the most inviting period
of life.
But the bogie of lesscning vigor is
ever before us. That time when we
can no longer do the days work
without WEAKNESS, when our heavier
tasks must be given to the younger
generation, when persons about us
make a manifest effort to spare our
efforts, is the day of dread to those
who feel much and think too little,
and that applies to ninety-nine of
every hundred of us.
Would we pity the man who is
going for a long vacation in the
woods or by the sea? Would we
sympathize with the woman who has
