THE DINNER.


CI1AI En- AAfs
Just before we went out to dinner
I overheard Peter Rivers say to june
Lawson:
That Ettlc Nrs. Howard is very
Iyoung, ism / she? Wonder Howard ism Z
with her. Rather unusual, dom you
think, for a man to allow a young wife
almost a bride, to go to dinner parties
without him?"
con, l don't know! That depends
entirely on circumstances, =" June hac
replied. "He may have had al engage.
mcnt, or he may not have cared tC
leone. He is awfully nigaDrow in some
ways, / have heard. And he seems years
older than any of us. But he surely is
generous with her. She is beautifully
dressed.'
"Why shouldn't she be? Howard is
disgracefully rich"
"'Those rich men usually have their
own good times, l guess. I'm glad Char
Teton ism It burdened with money. 1t
will keep him out of mischief earning
enough to take care Of me. " They both
laughed and just then dinner was an
nOunced.
''Merton, you take Helen, Mrs, How
ard in" Evelyn said, to my delight.
l was frankly pleased, and told Merton
Gray so, although it wasn't perhaps
good form to do so. 1T was good to be
with one who understood.
''The only two formal dinners I have
been to, you have taken me in" I said
gaily as | took his arm, 81 am so glad
Evelyn paired us off together. 1 was
a little disturbed over Peter Rivers re-
marks.

joyous tone. "It is a good Omen."
A Poverty Dinner.
Of course | was in the secret, but
the rest were astonished when they saw
the table. Evelyn had decided to give
a poverty dinner. Not as far as the
food was concerned, not by any means.
But the table cloth, dishes, ETC., were
all arranged with the poverty idea in
view. A paper table cloth and napkins.
Tin or wooden plates for each course.
The fruit cocktails served in cheap
aluminium cups, the same cups used af-
terward for the coffee. The center
piece was a scraggly looking bit of pine
set in a yellow mixing bowl.
EVERY one was 50 SSL pIIS6u anu we
became so jolly that L almost forgot 1
was an old married woman, and had
determined to be very dignified.
The dinner was delicious. From the
fruit cocktails to the dessert, made of
chopped almonds and cream, everything
was perfect. Hurts was so proud of Ev-
so surprised at her plans for his
birthday party, that after we all had
donned the paper caps lying beside each
plate, he made a funny speech, then
After the coffee, which we drank at
Merton Gray got up and replied to it.
After the coffee, which We drank at ta-
BILE, we all trooped into the drawing
room together. There was no sitting
waiting for the men to smoke and
as the women had done at Mrs.
Loring's.
While we were at dinner the rugs had
been taken up, and we danced. 1 dane

danced so well, just as he did every.
thing else, I thought. Then in turn I
danced with all the men. Peter Rivers

The heart is a muscular organ

more f9rcibly, hence more blood

When more blood is sent to any

liver fails to perform its functions
You become constipated. The food you
eat ferments in your stomach instead

1t is a self evident proposition that someone is lying
about happenings on the western front. The allies yes
terday reported the bringing down Of four ~airplanes, one
of them within the French lines. There was nothing said
about any losses Of allied airships, the fight being largely
between the German filters and the land forces. The
Germans however reported they had downed nineteen
~airplanes and two captive balloons, 1t is hardly probable
they could have shot down so many without the allies
finding it out, hence it is fair to presume the Germans
are lying about il, especially as lying is their strong hold.
Another suspicious feature is that only a week or ten
days ago the Germans reported downing the same num-
her of ~airplanes, nineteen.

The way Germany keeps a promise or regards a treaty
is shown in her treatment of Rumania. She acts on the
principle that to the victors belongs the spoils, and this
regardless of any solemn promises made in order to get
in the position Of being a victor. The neutral nations
bordering Germany are forced by their weakness to sub
NIT to the d~ictatorial m~iitarists, and this while hating
them thoroughly. However the treatment of Russia, and
Rumania, as we'll as Belgium and Serbia, will result even
tually in her undoing. There are few neutral nations lett
and most of these are now on the verge of severing rela-
lions with the black beast among nations.

The Oregonian has a long editorial today praising
Secretary Daniels--a remarkable thing for the Oregon
ian to print. That paper, along with every other G. 0. p.
organ in the country, put in four solid years roasting
JOsephQs Daniels. He was abused, ridiculed and lied
about, the latter statement being admitted by the papers
who are forced to admit that he has built up a real navy
for the first time in the history of the nation. The
partisan press treated Daniels just as it is treating Baker
now, making his job harder by their abuse and lies, in
stead of assisting in the laborious undertaking.

NEW COUNTY SUP'T.

Before w. N. "Bill Wilkes" our Democratic nominee for county superintendent of schools, could get elected in the general election next month and take his official seat, a new fellow has already arrived to take his place and our schools will probably be under a new management.
 The new arrival is fine, big, healthy fellow and made his appearance at the home of MT. and Mrs. Wilkes Wednes- day at 6:O0 o'clock a. m., Oct. 9, 1918 which was Mrs. Wilkes birthday. He tipped the scales to the tune of twelve and one half pounds and although he can't talk as much as his daddy, he has that same good fellowship personality and wants to shake hands with all with whom he comes in con- tact. Should Uncle Sam need to call his men to the colors again some IS years hence, this youngster will register as follows: Billie Brantlin Wilkes.
