 A crystal gazer's palace, clairvoy- ant, witch's den-all contributed to the pleasure of the evening, each event and place being the elimination of direction, either by spooky boogie or card.

 Miss Walsh
 An extremely pretty affair was given in compliment to Miss Rose mary Walsh, now Mrs. Ray Babbitt, on last Saturday, when Mrs. l.. w. Stevenson entertained at bridge luncheon. The guests were met at the door by the petite daughter of the household and ushered into the room where clever little caps were donned in honor of Halloween.

 A dainty luncheon in four courses was served by the Misses Charlotte and Katherine Stevenson, and later the guests spent delightful after noon at bridge.

 Have we a well-defined philosophy of life, or do we simply live from day to day, and drifting as our mood di- rects? Let's go Sunday morning and hear the Philosophy of Life" that Paul preached and lived.
 On Sunday evening we can hear of the Sixteen Soldiers Behind an Iron Door,"
 Do we know the incident, or will it be new one to us?
 We might try to figure it out before next Sabbath evening and then attend to find out if we are right in our sur mise.

 Social Service
 Circle Meets
 At the home of the president, Mrs. Tom l.. Rees, the members of the So- cial Service Circle held an interest ing meeting last Monday afternoon. Not as many ladies were present as the members desired, this due perhaps to the failure of papers to properly announce it. However, the discussion for the afternoon was along most helpful lines of endeavor. The most pertinent question just now is the ad- visibility of obtaining visiting nurse. The community would benefit
The Coconino sun., 1919-11-07

materially if a nurse could visit the homes and help to keep down the many contagious diseases that chil- dren are heir to. Just now there is condition existing among the little ones that, had visiting nurse been able to cope with first signs and symp-' toms, would not have depleted the at- tendance at school as it has now done.
 Whooping cough with some children is long, tedious experience, and the teachers are oft times unable to detect the symptoms until too late.
 Hot lunches for the school children is another big venture that this social service group would be glad to look into and, if feasible, make perma- nent feature for the good of the chil- dren. Altogether, the ladies are hope ful for more interest in attendance at their December meeting. These things for community service can not be done by few, but by goodly number of intelligent citizens.

-Babbitt Nuptials

Wash -Babbitt Nuptials
 Marked with charming simplicity, yet lovely in every detail, was the wedding ceremony which united Miss Rosemary Walsh and Raymond Bab- bitt early Wednesday morning. No bride could have wished for a fairer day, and by eight o'clock the intimate friends and relatives of the contract ing parties had gathered in the little private chapel at the Church of the Nativity, which had been so beauti- fully decorated for the occasion. The dim sanctuary was mass of lovely sprays of fern, while intermingled with the mass of green were great white feathery chrysanthemums and fragrant pink roses. Huge baskets of these were placed on either side of the altar rail and were caught in graceful bows of pink tulle.
 The ever lovely strains of Lohen- grin softly played by Mrs. Joe Rabbit announced the bridal party. The bride was lovely in white satin gown with shimmering net caught up with pearls while her veil was held in place with a wreath of orange blossoms. Miss Margaret Walsh attended her sister and wore a picturesque gown of pink georgette with ostrich trim ming, a lovely picture hat completing the costume. Dave Babbitt, brother of the groom, was the fourth member of the wedding party.
 Father Vabre met the bridal pair at the altar and performed the solemn and impressive ceremony, after which the guests repaired to the brides home, where lovely wedding break fast in five courses was served. The attractive tables carried the same color scheme in roses and chrys- anthemums, while candles very softly shaded the rooms. Places were mark ed for the following guests: Mrs. James E. Walsh, mother of the bride; Miss Margaret Walsh; P. J. Walsh, of Fl Paso, Tex; David Babbitt, Sr.; David Babbitt, Jr.; Miss Gertrude Babbitt, MT. and Mrs. George Babbitt. Mir. and Mrs. Joe Babbitt, MT. and Mrs. Edwin Babbitt, MT. and Mrs, William Babbitt, c. J. Babbitt, Bert ram and Herbert Babbitt, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Riordan, MT. and Mrs. M. J. Riordan, Miss Blanche Riordan, Arthur Riordan, Mir. and Mrs. Earl Slipher, the Reverend Father Vabre, Adolph Boenitsch, Rev. Father Me. Allister, George Verkamp and John Lind.
 Friends of the bride, associated with her at the Normal school, as sisted in serving the breakfast: the Misses Alice Alten, Mildren Hornbein, Gracia Saunders, Wlymyth Case, Ruth Latimer, Mary Boyer and Mrs. Hanley.
 Eluding their friends at the conclu- sion of the breakfast, the happy pair left for an extended honeymoon on the coast.
 It is with pleasure that Flagstaff friends learn of their intention Co make this their future home, for the groom has long been connected with the Babbitt firm, while the bride has made warm friends during her short residence in our midst.

 Armistice Day
 Armistice Day will not be forgotten by the youth of Emerson school!
 Appropriate exercises in all the rooms will be one marked feature that will instill again the fires of patriotism and at the same time spirit of thankfulness that America played so we'll her part in the recent conflict.
 Another feature to be given will be under the supervision of MT. Loolo and Miss Reinhold. Both have had splendid classes during the year, in physical culture and physical training. These classes will give short and snappy exhibition on the playground if the weather permits, and it is now whispered that local soldier with overseas experience will give a short address.
 Armistice Day!
 We hope you all remember.
