SHOWER.

About twenty ysuhs ladies' were
guests Of the G. w. Kellogg home last
evening, when Miss Gladys Bell and
Nm. Kellogg entertained at a mis-
cellaneous shower, for Miss Freada
Briggs, whose wedding will take
place shortly.
Music on the vittrola was enjoyed
until al the guests had arrived, when
some contests were started. So many
minutes were given in which to write
the names Of as many kinds of grain
that grow on Iowa farms, and includ-
ing the alfalfa. etc. Some quite long
lists were procured; likewise the an
imals Of the farm were written and
the fruits and vegetables, and we be-
lieve if Freada has some of each
variety, it will be some farm. It was
found necessary to cut for the prize
at the close Of the contest. resulting
in Miss Louise Carlisle carrying home
handsome garden rake.
A musical contest was held, also;
the pieces being played on the piano
by Miss Bell, and the names to be
written by the girls. Several had to
draw cuts on this contest, but the
prize was won by Miss Grace Briggs,
and was in the form Of an all wool,
white Leghorn chicken.
Presently from the realms of be-
hind door someone sang ooh, Prom
Use Me-" and they were some awful
promises, but quite in keeping with
the bridal procession which was
stumbling down the stairs. The dar-
lingest little "flour" girl with bas-
ket Of everlasting flowers, was fol-
lowed by Miss Ina Mutt, and Lem T..
Squeezer, trailed by Rev. 1. Will
Tyum, who read the lines of the
beautiful ceremony. After the riot
when all the ladies had kissed the
bride and washed their faces, sympa-
thized with the groom and flirted
with the preacher. delicious refresh
n,ents were served by the hostesses.
At the close Of the evening, Miss
Freada was presented with beauti-
full large basket, filled with gifts
from her friends. Many useful and
lovely things were disclosed when the
packages were opened, with messages
Of happiness from the hearts of true
friends.
A most delightful evening was en-
joyed, and Gladys and Annabel pro-
nounced wonderful entertainers.

SURPRISE.

A very clever surprise was fixed up
for Mr.. and Mrs. G. O. Hansen last
Saturday evening. A number of
couples, who have for some time held
dances occasionally in the Masonic
hall, informed Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen,
who are among their number, that
there was to be dance Saturday ev-
ening, and that they would like to
have them bring some sandwiches.
The usual dance was enjoyed, but
when the refreshments were served,
they came in the form of regular
feed" and as they fingered at the ia
BILE, Erick johnson arose and in few
fitting words, made Mr.. and Mrs.
Hansen realize that they were the
guests Of honor and further awed
them by presenting them with a
beautiful chest Of silver. Needless
70 say the honorary guests were
"struck dumb" SO to speak, but their
faces bespoke their appreciation of
the surprise. About 60 people were
present and a mighty fine time was
enjoyed.

we have received and unloaded car
load today.
Respectfully, C. H. Ducr.

MoRLAN.BR1GGs

Miss Freada Briggs and Bernard
Morlan were united in marriage last
Saturday evening, at the home of the
brides parents, on North Sixth
street, in the presence of about thirty
relatives and friends.
At the hour of eight, Mrs. H. L.
Roberts, accompanied by her sister,
Mrs. F. A. Brinker, sang, "Your Eyes
Have Told Me So" following which,
Miss Gladys Bell softly played the
Mendelssohn wedding march while
the bridal party came down the
stairs and took their places in the
front parlor, Miss Grace Briggs, Sis
ter of the bride, acting as bridesmaid
and Harold Allen, cousin of the
groom, as best man. Rev. E. M. Bell.
with the beautiful lines of the ring
ceremony, pronounced them wed.
The bride was charming in gown
of sand colored satin taffeta with
corsage of violets and dainty rose
buds, while the bridesmaid also wore
taffeta of peach shade with cor
sage of sweet peas and roses.
The home was decorated with boz
quets of Madam Ward and Ophelia
roses and fern leaves, while the
library table loaded with many beau
tiful gifts to the bride, was most at
tractive.
The guests were served with dam
ty refreshments in the dining room.
and at this most opportune time the
bride and groom made their escape.
Their absence was soon noticed, how
ever, and in short order they were
holly pursued by crowd. They were
traced to the Vincent home, where
they had taken refuge, but by some
clever maneuvering ESCAPED in car,
and successfully eluded their would
be rice showering friends. The final
flight was made quite late; but very
serenely as the couple departed for
Omaha, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. H. l.. Roberts in the latter's
car.
After a brief honeymoon, Mr.. and
Mrs. Morlan will be at home to their
friends ON the Morlan farm, near Lo-
gan, where they go to make their flu
ture home, and with them go the
wishes of a host of friends for all the
JOY and happiness that this world can
hold.

 To secure the resiliency, the springiness of O'Sullivan's Heels, the highest grades of rubber are blended by special formula. With this blend of live, springy rubber are "compounded' the best toughening agents known. The compound is then cured" or baked under high pressure.
 This is why O'Sullivan's Heels absorb the jolts and jars of walking. The same process that makes O'Sullivan's Heels resilient gives them their great durability. O'Sullivan's Heels will outlast three pairs of leather heels they often outlast two pairs of ordinary rubber heels.
