Village Gossip
BY ELIZABETH o'LoUGHLEN

On Wednesday evening the home of MT. and Mrs. Harry I. O'Neill was the scene of one of the most | brilliant and socially successful gath erings of the younger set that has taken place in many months.
 The occasion was miscellaneous | shower and social party rendered to ! Miss Laura Bacon and MT. James | c. Clark, who are to be married on Wednesday morning next, by the Young Ladies Sodality. of which Miss Bacon is the president Up I wards of seventy-five people were present.
 The decorations fin white and pale green, were not only beautiful and artistic, but original and novel. In ! one corner a large table, in the center of which was a vase of most beautiful briday roses, was placed to receive the gifts of the well-wishers. Overhead, hanging gracefully, were three gorgeous white bells trimmed in pale green, from which and around the room streamers of the same color dangled. The wall lights were all shaded in like manner. The beautiful large ceiling light in the center. displayed a number of dainty little Kewpies, all smiling and happy looking, as if they too, had en- tered into the spirit of the occasion
 The ever charming and energetic Miss Geneveive Rosswog, in whose hands the Sodality placed the ar | engagement of the affair, acted as l hostess, ably assisted by Mrs. Harry Sodality.
 During, the forepart of the eve ming a very interesting and clever entertainment was offered. MT. Jos Ryan favored the assembly with his | humorous Swede stories, step-danc- ing and comic songs. MT. Frank Burns and Mr. Frank O'Brien de- lighted all with their clever side l splitting character monolOguas, and l impromptu sketches. Mrs. W. II. | Chase and Miss Ethel Graham. with Miss Charlotte Bacon at the piano, drew forth much applause with their catchy songs. Miss Evangeline Church in her exceedingly graceful | style, danced the Highland Fling; ] while MT. Scarborough surprised his audience by his masterful rcnGi- | tion of The Spell of the Yukon" ;" Last of all, MT. F. A. Jones, was there to pay his respects to sev- eral members of the party with his original parodies.
 During intermissions, dancing was indulged in until at the appointed hour, when the bride and groom-to- be, were escorted to a place behind the table, to undo and display the gifts. For an hour or more they were kept busy and the continued unrestrained exclamations of delight that emanated from the enchanted | crowd, as the pretty articles of cut | glass, vases, silverware, aluminium, pyreX and linens were passed around,
 showed the high esteem in which these two very popular young peo- pie are held.
 At midnight a buffet luncheon was served and a general chat-fest in dulged in. In all it was a most de- lightful affair, one which the soon-to benewly-weds will long and pleas ,antly remember.
