Miss Mary Wheeler, who is to be a
bride Of the early summer was the
guest of honor at a miscellaneous
bridal shower given by Mrs. !. w.
Leighton at her home on Tuesday
evening. Following the ARRIVAL Of
the guests, Miss Wheeler was in
ltructed to follow the devious wind
ings Of a piece of string and found at
the far end of it q basket decorated
sin patriotic colors and piled full with
the gifts, which she then ~unwrapped.
The entertainment of the evening was
progressive Five Hundred. A dainty
luncheon was served by
the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Stafford
Donley. Between courees the guests
found little rolls of paper by their
plates. These when opened proved to
be bits of good wishes and advice for
the bride and we're read aloud for her
benefit. The dining room had been
beautifully decorated in red, white
and blue, with a center piece of n
nations, and a large flag vas draped
lin the doorway. AS Miss Wheeler
passed under the flag the cord draping
it was loosened and a shower Of rice
greeted her. Miss Wheeler is to be-
married to Lieut.. H. M. Steele, a
elassmate at the University, now To-
Gated at Camp Dodge but expecting
to leave during the summer for
France.
quite a number of ministers of the
German Congregational churches were
in town Wednesday. They were on
their way to Fairfax to attend a ON
ference. but on receiving the order
| from the state council of defense pro-
hibiting the use of any alien language
in religious services they decided that
it would be useless. to try to hold q
meeting at this time, as many ques-
tions Of Importance were to be con-
eidered and many Of those who would
attend the meeting could not UNDER
stand the English language. They
wired the Governor for a permit to
conduct the meeting in German. Rev.
Ruder, pastor Of the Scotland Congre-
gational church, says the order will
be a serious handicap to him in his
work. He is in sympathy with the
move to have all public schools con-
Quoted in English, and also all Sunday
schools, or meetings for young people,
and in all Of his meetings and onver
sations with the young people Of his
congregations he always uses the
English language. But he conducts
meetings at several different places,
and at each place there are many who
cannot understand English. He has
endeavored to explain to these people
the necessity Of being loyal to their
government, and ~endeavored to con-
vince them Of the justice Of the Amer
lean cause in the war. He feels that
he has been able to do much good
along these lines but he necessarily
has to do it in the German language,
and il he is prohibited from doing *
his work along theme lines will b
seriously intsrfered with.
