INOCIAL activity in school circles
- was delightfully."- resumed Saturday
afternoon at one of the most
charming affairs OF the early season,
when Miss Mabel Robertson presided
at a most artistically appointed tea,
given at her residence on Center street
TO the teachers of the city, in honor
of the new teachers Of Salem. A very
effective decorative scheme was OBJ
tained by an abundant use Of the bril-
liant hued autumn foliage, in its two
predominating shades Of deep red and
orange. The red eolor-note was EN-
lphasized in the living room, where the
scarlet tones of the massed autumn
leaves were viyidily enhanced by
lights softly shaded in red The dining
room was done in orange, candle shades
of the same shade contributing a glow
ling touch of color to the table appoint
ments. A handsome eenterpiece decked
the table consisting of large basket
of fruit, combined with a simple ar
rangement Of the gorgeous autumn fol-
iage.
Mrs. John Todd and Mrs. r. B. Shel.
don poured during the early tea hours,
while Mrs. John H. MeNary and Mrs
W. H. Burghardt, Jr., presided at the
samovars during the latter part of the
afternoon.

lill, Miss Helena Willett, Miss May

| Miss Nell Sykes left this morning
for Bremerton, Washington, where she
will engage in war work as manager of
the hostess house at the Bremerton
Navy yards. Miss Sykes expects to be
called to service overseas, in the near
future having successfully passed the
Red Cross examinations for dietitian.
Meantime she has been sent to Bremer-
ton to take charge Of the hostess house
until she receives her orders to go to
France. sr.
Miss Sykes is well qualified to fill
the position Of dietitian, having had
la large and varied experience in that
line of work. She is graduate Of the
Oregon Agricultural college and for the
last three years has been head of the
Home Economies department in the Sa-
lem high school. At one time and an
other she has successfully conducted
cafeteria dinners for various patriotic
causes, as the need arose. She was also
actively connected with the girls honor
guard in Salem at the time of its or
ganization few years ago.
Mrs. G. D. Gabrielson received let
ter today from her son, Lit. Carl Ga
brielson, who recently sailed from San
Francisco with the twenty seventh in
fantry for Siberia, that he had arriv
ed safely and was temporarily station
ed at Vladivostok, the principal port of
Siberia. Lieutenant Gabrielson, in com
mon with the rest of the men now en-
tering upon service in Siberia, deem
it to be considerable of privilege to
have a part in the making of history
in a country as new and so full of var
led possibilities as Siberia now is. 1t
takes less than month for letters
from there to reach the United States,
the one received by Mrs. Gabrielson
this morning having been only eighteen
days on the way, which fact natural
ly tends to lessen the idea of extreme
distance between this country and 81
IBERIA. Lieutenant Gabrielson was sta
toned at Camp Fremont during the
early spring and summer.
Mrs. Charles X. Spaulding returned
last night from Newberg, where she
has been visiting her son, II. b. Spauld
ing, and family for the past week.
Charming hospitality was shared by
a few friends of Miss Lillian Boot, |
who were hidden informally to tea last
evening at the attractive country home
Of the hostess south of Salem. Miss
Boot frequently entertains a coterie
Of guests in this manner, the tea table |
last night being eircled by Miss Mar
garet Cosper, Miss Florence Cleveland,
Miss Robinson and Miss Carol Dibble. |
Mrs. Bert Jones and small son. Her
bert, of Joseph, Oregon, returned home
yesterday after visit in Salem as the /
guests Of the B. l.. Jones, All North
Commercial street. Miss Alta Jones ac
companied the visitors home for a !
month s stay.
Salem may well lay proud claim to
such a gifted and popular musician as
