guest at the L. A.. Livesley residence
FOR the past fortnight, Mrs. William
Boot entertained with charming
luncheon Wednesday. A gay mixture
of multi-colored autumn flowers cen
tered the prettily appointed table at
which covers were laid for the follow
ing guests: Mrs. W. r. DE Beck, Mrs.
T. a. Livesley, Mrs. John J. Roberts,
Mrs. William Dytle, Mrs. Frederick
Thielsen, Mrs. Ada Strong, Mrs. Will
liam Burghardt, Jr., Mrs. Dan Fry Jr.,
Mrs. William Walton, Mrs. W. M.
Plimpton, Mrs. j. IL. Van Doren and
the gracious hostess.
Salem was honored during the past
week with the presence Of Mrs. Alice
M Webster of Portland, who is in
charge of the art exhibit at the fair.
Mrs. Webster is prominent in educa-
tional circles, and it was through her
efforts that some Of the most beauti-
full pieces in the collection at the fair,
are on exhibit. Those persons who take
especial delight in reviewing excep-
tional works Of art and who make it a
point to visit that department each
year, will be grieved to hear that Mrs.
Webster does not plan to be in charge
Of it after this season. Her kindly in
terest and her readiness to give any in
formation desired concerning the ex-
hibit, has endeared her to the numer
GUS visitors in that department, and
her presence will be greatly missed.
Honoring Reverend Father Derouin,
assistant pastor of st. Joseph IS church
who leaves for the east tomorrow, an
informal reception was held at the
parochial residence last evening. The
affair was sponsored by the women of
the parish, under the able direction of
Mrs. Theodore NJ Barr Multi-colored
autumn flowers in artistic profusion
gave a CHEEKY note to the pretty af-
fair and light refreshments were serv-
ed. A purse was presented to the guest
of honor as token of the apprecia-
tion of the parishioners for his jealous
work while in Salem.
Father Dcrouin will visit in Canada
and the eastern states, his ultimate
destination being Providence, Rhode
Island his former home.
Three conventions will be held in
October and the women who attend all
three will be busy. October 7, 5 and 8
the Congress of Mothers will meet in
Medford at the same time the W. Q. T..
U. will convene in Ashland. The fol-
lowing week, October Is to l6, inclus
i've, will see the state federation as
sembhng in Corvallis with the Corvai.
lis Woman Is club as the hostess or
ganization.
For the last named Mrs. G. H. Cast
ner, state president, has issued the of
fetal call and the program is well un-
der way. While there will be some con
siderable interest in who will be pres
ident, the question Of politics is not
agitating the women very much, but
all are working for the best interests of
the federation.
The program committee, of which
Miss Matte Beatty is chairman, has
deemed Ii wise to make some changes
in reporting the activities of the past
year. Owing to war conditions stand
ing commlttees were aple TO DO little
WORK ana TINS peng the year for a
cnange OF administration, with posi-
bic changes of committee chairmen, it
seemed best to eliminate committee
conferences and give more time to
speakers who have vital messages for
club women, They Will therefore have
~ speaker from the state board or vo-
cahonai education, one from the ma
uohal social service bureau upon Ann
encanlzation, and one from the newly
created enid welfare commission. Am
pie time IS TO DC gwen for delegates
