IcOunIleSS changes OF gdfD ana gust
which are not limited alone to Mi
lady,s new bonnet. For, granted Nj
lady has a new bonnet, she must, in
all fairness, have a change of scenery
as well, in which TO display her choice
bit of French millinery, and this sea
son, her demand for newness of set
ting has been granted in the welcom-
ing form of new banquet room, to be
known as the Rose Room of the Spa.
This Rose Room, which has been
lately added in view of the growing
patronage of the Spa win have seat
ling capacity of fifty in addition to
that of the regulars Spa parlor. And
it is in this Rose Room that matron
and maid who entertain extensively
will find it most delightful to pre-
side, amid the privacy of the tasteful
ly finished walls of what bids fair to
become the popular rendezvous of line
parties, supper parties, luncheon par
ties and all manner of festal gather
lings.
In keeping with this introduction Of
new banquet room, are the new
spring decorations in the outer par
lors, which in their brilliancy and
glowing hues, transform the parlors
into a sparkle of light and color, with
a bright note of scarlet predominating
and bringing into relief the softer
pastel shades. The fruit pieces ON the
front pedestals also are characterized
by realistic touch and an artistic ar
rangement that are distinctly deserv-
ing of the general compliment which
has been accorded the attractive, Eas-
ter trimmings at the Spa,
A dancing club that promises to be
one of the popular dancing clubs in
Salem held its initial party Wednes-
day evening at Cotillion hall. st.
Patrick decorations predominated.
About thirty five, couples enjoyed the
affair. The committee in charge was
Mrs. Roma Hunter, Mrs. Cal Patton,
Mrs. Frank Loose, Mrs. Harley White.
Mrs. G. D. Puryine; Mrs. Clara Inman,
Mrs. Harry Hill, Mrs. Ralph White
and Mrs. Clyde johnson. This dancing
club plans to meet Wednesday Of each
week
Adding in no small measure to the
pleasure of the dance, was the especial
ly good music played by the orchestra,
which was composed of Mrs. Horace
Sykes, Miss Lillian Siege and Dave
tTalmadge.
The many friends of Mrs. j. G. Ma
don will regret to hear that she is
planning to make her permanent home
in Seaside. She expects to leave Salem
soon after Easter, where she will join
Mr.. Nadon, whose business interests
have kept him in Seaside for the past
several months. Mrs. NadOn will place
her two little girls, Marie and Vivian,
in the Sacred Heart academy till the
close of school.
With the flag and all it represents
uppermost in the thoughts of every
one just now, when history is being
lived daily on all sides of US, it will
be of significant interest to many, to
note the Colonial flag which is dis
played at the residence of DIR. and
Mrs. George H. Alden, 326 North Lib.
erty street 1t numbers thirteen stars, /!
mine in a circle, and the remaining
four in the corners.
This flag was a gift to Rodney Al |
den, the son of Mr.. and Mrs Alden,
when he was a small boy, and the |
family sentiment in which the flag
was always held, played a large part I
in the decision of Mr.. Alden to enlist |
early in the war. He is now stationed /
in France with Company M.

hundred were the contributions of Mr..
and Mrs. w. w. Moore to the social
of the week, when they in

With the fad for dancing so preva- :
ent just now all over the country. it :
s of timely interest to note the OBJ T
ervation made in recent San Fran .
isco Chronicle, stating that the French 9
ffieers now in this country do not :
lance. As they belong to "a nation :
hat is proverbial in its love of dane
ng, the fact has oeeasioned a good ;,
eal of wonder.
l'Howeveri quoting further, "it b
as been explained that a recent gov =
rnment order in France stated that =
wing to the semi-mourning of the
alton and the gravity of the national i
risis, dancing viii no longer be con =
ldered appropriate for Officers of IA
ither army or navy. Ia
The excuse of entertaining for the :.
oldiers and sailors has provided no Il
nd of dancing parties of one sort or .
mother, and this favorite pastime =.
i'll undoubtedly continue throughout 81
ne year, without lessening its inter
st one whit. Wherever possible, how
yer, the favors and decorative eff
eet are suggestive of the war. and q
ANY delightful novelties are noted. !
