The B. C. Starlin home was the
Iscene of most happy gathering
Saturday afternoon, when Mes
DANES B. G. Starlin and H. r..
Faith entertained fifty-fivc la
dies. Upon ones approach the
lfluttering of the American flag
from the porch roof designated
the house. The, guests were met
at the door by Mae Myers and es-
corted TO the dressing room by
Clement Starlin.
The house was decorated
Throughout with American flags,
while bouquets of red and white
formations banked the buffet and
writing desk. Since one of the
most busy places in the United
States is our dead letter office,
the hostesses decided the guests
should assist in deciphering some
twenty addresses. Upon cutting
for the prize, Mrs. r. A. Heath
was the fortunate one to receive
a box of correspondence cards.
Miss Owens then favored the
ladies With singing ''When They
Played God Save the King" in
liner most pleasing manner Mrs.
Arthur Noxin played the accom-
paniment.
Then came IA Trip Through
Iowa. in which were hidden the
names of Iowa towns and cities
This proved rather difficult, as
local geography is never as we'll
known as that more distant Mrs.
Arthur Noxin was the lucky Que
here and received a silk flag.
| Cards, decorated in national
colors and containing a symbol
of the world renowned cherry tree
land Ratchet, were then passed.
The names of states We're written
upon these and each one was told
to find her chair by tag tied TO
lit, upon which was the name of
the capitol or chief city OF said
Estate.
An elegant two course tray
luncheon was then served, in
(which the national colors were
most prominent. Those assisting
II the hostess in serving were Miss
Owens, Mrs. Harder and Mrs. j.
Kent Craford.
Mrs. VIM. Coulthard played
several instrumental solos while

hearts and minds that we may as

"lsindu Prince" Is Welded in
Omaha.

\ mysterious Hindu prince"
With a casket of jewels, said to be
worth anywhere from a million
dollars down to a paltry hundred
thousand dollars or so. was mar
ricd in Omaha recently, and is
now back in his native India, with
his American wife and his casket
OF jewels.
Because of the immensely val
nable casket its presence in Oma-
ha, and even in the United States,
was kept a profound secret until
after the owner had departed for
the orient. While in Omaha the
"Prince of India" as The myster-
ions stranger is being called by
those in the know" stopped at
the Fontenelle hotel. All sorts of
stories are floating around as to
the identity of the prince and
while very little is known for sure
about him, a whole lot OF maybe"
is going the rounds.
The for sure information is.
that Peter +. G. Paul, Calcutta,
India. arrived i'm Omaha last Aug
ust and was given a suite OF
rooms at the Fontcnelle hotel.
He arrived on a stretcher and
even the maybe" reports do not
iiNc he reasons for the necessity
OF the stretcher.
On August 4 4 the prince took
oul a marriage license TO wed I4u
Tesa Wilenga OF Sioux City. The
marriage was performed on Aug
ust As by the Rev. Gust Harvalis
OF the Greek Orthodox church on
South Sixteenth street. The only
witnesses to the marriage were
The two sons of the Rev. Mr.. Har-
wallis.
The mysterious box of jewels
was brought TO Omaha to be
given to the bride of the prince.
The casket was in Baltimore and
Attorney Ed P. Smith of Omaha
was sent to that City TO get pos
session of them and bring them to
Omaha. He did so and the jew
els were placed in a safe deposit
vault for safe keeping while they
were in this city.
One of the jewels was a price
less pearl necklace or collar. Ru-
NOR values it at S250.0O0. An
other rumor reduces this amount
to 100000. Anyway, it was prob
ably the finest and most valuable
string of pearls ever in this city
In addition to the pearls there
were diamonds, rubies. emeralds
and lot of other precious stones
Another ''for sure piece OF
knowledge is that the first wife OF
the prince died last spring in the
Johns Hopkins hospital in Balti-
more. After his wife's death the
prince wandered around America
in an effort to overcome his grief
He succeeded very we'll. In Aus
tin, Tex, he met Miss Wilenga
and after a short but ardent
courtship won her consent te
marriage. The wedding tool

Immediately after the wedding
The jewels, including the great
pearl collar, were given to Mrs
Paul The bride did not wear
them while in Omaha, but in the
secIusion of her suite at the Ton-

city.
When the time came for the

Hi. Beebee e. Co.
Logan, lowe

tions,n in conformity to habit or
in recognition of customs estab-
lished by society. There is much
current misconception of the pur-
pose of Lent. The Shallow un-
derstanding of it is that it is a
season for the crucifixion of the
flesh, whereby we gain merit by
denying ourselves some of the
material comforts and indulg-
ences which we most dearly prize.
Such is the superficial view of
Lent. as we find it portrayed in
the irreverent 50 called humor of
our humorous periodicals. But
if that were all of Lent, ii would
be of no value either TO the
church. or to the individual. 1t is
true that self denial has part
in the proper observance of Lent;
but only a part: it is not the thing
itself.
Lent is a time for spiritual in
yentory, for spiritual stock tax
ing, for spiritual introspection. 1t
is a season for calm contempla-
ton of the serious realities OF
life. 1t is an opportunity for
closer communion and fellowship
with God. 1t is a time for con-
sideration of the higher, nobler
things of life. In Lent we reach
back into the secret recesses OF
our souls and bring out our ideals
and remove the dust Of disuse
from them and refurbish them
and set them up again in the. in
ner shrines of our hearts and pay
homage to them.
Lent is privilege. not a pen
anee Lent is opportunity, not
discipline. Much of our lives is
devoted. to frivolity and to heed
lessness. Much of our effort is
given to ministering to the de-
sires of the flesh. Much of our
energy is exerted for the purpose
of accumulating material posses
sions by means of which we make
our lives comfortable and easy
Much of our time is wasted in
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1917-03-01

the joyous realize new joys, the
serene become yet more serene,
and the devout attain to yet
greater heights of exaltation. By
such means is life made fuller,
sweeter, more complete and more
worth while.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into
the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for
them that love him. But God,
hath revealed them unto us by his
things, yea, the deep things of
God"
Such is layman's conception
'of Lent.--Sioux City Journal.

In what was undoubtedly the
hardest fought and best game of
the season, Missouri Valley High
School basket ball team took the
Denison Bulldogs to a cleaning by
the score of IS to 10, Saturday
evening.
The game started off fast and
rough and continued so through
out. Chaloupka started the ball
rolling by caging long basket
before the game had hardly
started. From then ON until The
end of the first half it was one
grand tussle. At the end of ev-
cry play someone picked them
selves Off the floor. The first
half ended "A to 4 in favor of the
