joyed a social afternoon at Mrs.

Thursday. Mrs. Newman IS
daughters, Mrs. Smell and Mrs.
Richards of Tacoma, helped to
entertain and serve refresh
ments, which departed from the
usual in that there We're no cakes
served, in accordance with the
latest style in Hooverizing; and
it would be consistent with the
new order of things if all hos.
tesses would drop cakes from
their menus at afternoon teas.
1t will be a hard thing to do, but
if we are driven to no greater
hardship, we may be thankful,
indeed.
Mrs. Miles Standish has re-
turned with her little family of
three small boys, after spending
several weeks with her husband
in Northport. Wash. where he
is employed. They think the
climate and living conditions
here are SO superior to North
port that she will remain here
during the summer, probably.
The Fuller store has again
changed hands. MIR. j. j. Par
onto Of Seattle bought the build
ing and stock of Mr.. Allendorf,
who returned to Seattle with his
family, last week. Mr.. Paronto
is putting in a new stock of
goods, and we hope he will fare
well at the hands of Ellisport
and the surrounding country.
His daughter, Miss Idell Paron-
to, is with him in the store and
we hope to keep her in Ellisport
indefinitely.
Ellisport may be able to exist
without the Mcdowell boats,
but how the Red Cross auxiliary
here can 90 without its unusual
ly efficient supervisor of work, is
a problem to be solved in the
near future. Mrs. Annie Mac
Dowell has been most indefa-
tigueable in her efforts to make
this auxiliary a 100 per cent one.
and if it is not so rated. it surely
is not her fault. She is beloved
by all who come in contact with
her, and will always be welcomed
back here. when she can visit us.
