British Embassy Ball
and Supper Distinctive

One thing which lends an interest
to Washington society quite apart
from that of any other city in Amer
lea is the diplomatic corps, and no
, matter how simply one OF the foreign
ers entertains or how elaborately,
that something different" is always
to be found. Friday night there
were many touches to the BAH and
supper at the British emba ssy new

haps characteristic of Sir Aukland
and Lady Geddes when entertaining

The supper table was typicaily
British. and carried off many honors
for the chef. reminding one of the
days when al! the great chefs OF

Cross-Atlantic Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, November 1.-THE autumn
wedding season is now in full swing
and reflects changes in the fashion in
weddings as marked as the line of
skirt. A Bond street florist has dis
covered brides demand new flower;
<they are tired of the harrissi lily
Water lilies recently proved demurely
picturesque. Bridesmaids sheaves
have given place to the victorian
bunch of multi-colored fiorets. al
though there is a tendency to revive
the shower bouquet beloved Of Queen
Alexandra.
To the bridegroom is given the priv
ilege of providing bouquets for his
brides attendants. as well as the
flowers she will carry. In the matter
Of the ring. platinum for the wedding
ting has not found the favor here
that ii did in America. The plain
gold band, narrow and rounded, takes
first place.
A discussion as to whether a bride
should go to the altar wearing her
engagement ring recalls the expert
ence of a pretty maid recently. She
tugged in vain TO free the appointed
third finger, until, in desperation at
keeping the clergyman waiting, she
decided to have the gold band placed
above her betrothal ring.
Next to the gowns come the church
decorations. Having CHOSEN tHc

lighting before dashing into schemes
of floral decoration. Tall palms in
tall church devoid of pillars will not
be half as attractive as little bay
trees, dressed up with ripe oranges all
tied on to order. Dim light struggling
through stained glass windows will
spoil all the effect of blue dolphin
iums, but would make all-white fiow-
ers wonderfully mysterious. There is
a new passion just now for red blooms
in church decorations. often because
the bride is dark and elects to carry
crimson roses.

WILTON MERCHANT
SHOT TO DEATH

Wilton, N. D., April Moses
Polonsky, prominent Wilton gen.
eral merchant, is dead and his
,brother-in-law, Morris Meadow, of
New York City, who was visiting at
the Polonsky home, is in Jail at
Washburn. as the result of a shoot
ing that occurred in the formers s
apartments above his store at an
early hour Monday morning.
Polonsky is said by his family to
have been alone in his room when
the shooting occurred, and suicide
appeared to be the only theory for
the fatal wound that had been in
f1icted. However, before being
placed on a special train and rush
ed to Bismarck for medical treat
menh Polonsky is said to have made
statement that his wife's brother,
Morris Meadow, did the shooting,
which resulted in the latter being
arrested by. Sheriff Ole Stefferud
and lodged in the county Jail at
Washburn, awaiting the outcome
and an investigation of the affair.
Polonsky's wound proved fatal
in spite Of the best of medical at
tention, and he died in the Bis
marck hospital at o'clock Tuesday
morning. The verdict of the cor
oness inquest, held here Tuesday
afternoon, was chat death was
caused by gunshot wound from
gun in unknown hands,"
/, Mrs. Polonsky, sister Of the ac-
cused man, and also Mrs. Warsaw,
sister of Polonsky, deny emphati-
cally that Meadow had anything to
do with the shooting. Besides his
wife, Polonsky is survived by six
children, all under IA years of age.
The dead man had resided at Will
ton five or six years, and was high:
ly respected.
The remains were taken to Re-
gan ON Wednesday morning, for in
terment in the Jewish cemetery
near that village. y

are proud of the league program
as far as it has been carried out.
They invite careful scrutinizing Of
every act OF the present admins
tration and will welcome criticism
at all times. =. We all have our
faults, but would rather have the
other fellow give us credit for our
virtues as well as our faults. If
Mr.. Holtz can show US just where
"Townley's, regime" was to blame
for his big increase in county, school
and road taxes, he will be doing a
big favor not only to myself, but
to the entire community as we'll.
I am willing to go to the bottom Of
this if he is, and challenge him to
show "Townley's regime. up. In
regard to his, exorbitant taxation
remember that these taxes cover
seven quarters of land, so all Town
ley got for running the: state. out
Of seven quarters of land for the
year 1919 is S55.04 state taxes,
and $50 three cent hail rate, max
ing a total of ss5.O4. Unless we
hear from Mr.. Holtz again I will
take it for granted that he is now
convinced that "Townley's regime"
isn't as bad as he thought it was at
first.

TAKEN TO TOMB
Of HIS ANCESTORS

Enderlin Independent: Although
there is no similarity in the names,
Cue Jee, a Chinese laundryman
from Harvey, was the son Of Wah
Long, the Enderlin Chinese laun-
dryman who died here last week.
On learning OF his fathers death
the young man Immediately came
down and took charge of his af-
fairs. After making arrangements
as to the preparation of the body
he went back. to Harvev and at once
disposed of his laundry there, al
though a sale at such short notice
was made only at a financial sacri-
fice. The young man must take the
body of his father back to the an
cestral tomb Of the family for bur-
ial Such is the filial obligations
of the Chinese to their parents. Cue
Jee left for Portland, Oregon, with
the body over the 500 last night
and says it will take about four
weeks to make the trip to China.
Wah Long left about seven hun
dred dollars deposited in the banks
here, besides his laundry machinery
and this property will have to go
through the probate courts before
it can be distribu to the heirs.
He has been sending money to
China ever since he came to En-
der1in, receipts found in his pos
session indicate to the amount OF
several thousand dollars. The son
said both he and his father have
been sending money back to China
ever since coming here for the nur-
pose of financing some project there
which the young man Intends to
engage in when he gets back home.

BUYS HURLY BLOCK

One of the largest real estate
deals which took place in Bowbells
for some months was that made on
Monday of this week when Mrs.
Irene Hurry sold her brick block
on main street here to N. L.. Simon
son. and title was delivered the
same day. This is without ques-
tion the best located business pro-
perty in the city, and during the
past five years or more has been
occupied by the Moore Hardware
Co. and the n. L. Simonson store.
Mr.. Moores lease runs until July
1 of this year, and whether or not
he will remain there longer will
depend on conditions at the time
his lease runs out. For some time
past Mr.. Simonson's business has
been increasing very rapidly, and
he realized that 1t was up to him
to seek larger quarters. but was
unable to find anything that suited
him in the city, SO was compelled
to stay where he was, although on
account of lack of room he WIS
unable to add various lines to his
stock. In case the crops show up
right when Mr.. Moore's lease ex-
pires next July it is possible that
Mr.. Simonson will after that date
use the entire building himself,
and will add several departments
to his stock. Bowbells has long
felt the need of a store Of the kind
that Mr.. Simonson is planning on
putting in here eventually, and this
deal brings us nearer to an up-to-
date department business than We
ever were before

NEsT0s IS OUT
FOR GOVERNOR

Fargo, N. D., April with r.
A. Nestos Of Minot announcing his
candidacy for governor of, North
Dakota and seeking the support Of
the I. V. A., and the possibility
that John Steen, former state
treasurer, may also shy his castor
in the ring in the near future for
the same Office, the political kettle
is beginning to boil right merrily
in this state. Both Nestos and
race, will seek the Republican nom
ination. @
This will make three I. ". A. Re-
publican candidates for governor
and there possibly will be more be-
fore long. Langer's announcement
that he is candidate and will seek
the nomination appears to have
created something like a. panic
among the old guard politicians,
according to reports, and most any
thing is liable to happen in that
camp now.
Nestos is an attorney in Minot.
He served as states attorney Of
Ward county, resignfng two years
ago, to become a candidate for
United States senator, but was de-
feated by McCumber.
John Steen served two terms as
state treasurer and two years ago
ran for governor in the June pri-
mary. being defeated by Governor
Frazier. 'E4- i"
With Nestos' announcement, it
became known yesterday that a
group of politicians held an infor-
NAL conference In the Forum Office
the day after LANCER had announc-
ed his candidacy. at which suit.
able man for the Democratic nom
ination was discussed. Rumors
yesterday we're to the effect that
Wesley c. Mcdowell is being groom
ed for the job by local I. V. A:
leaders .
Having despaired of being able to
nominate Republican in the COM
ing primary election, big business
interests are now laying plans to
shift their support to a Democratic
nominee in the hope of naming ain
acceptable man on that ticket, ac-
c riding to reports.
The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an ex-
animation for the county Of Burke
N. Oak, to be held at FlaxtonS and
Powers Lake on April 23rd, ] 92O,
to fill the position Of rural carrier
at Columbus and Larson, and va
cancies that may later occur on
! rural routes from other postoftices
in the above mentioned county.
