the Nollner- Smith nuptials was that

EIGHT MEN AND ONLY
FOUR GIRLS AT PARTY!
The party Miss Daviette Fieklen
gave for Miss McIlhenny at Cafe
st. Marks last Wednesday evening
was a very picturesque affair. as
all of the men--some eight or ten
(and only four girls; so you know
they, the girls, had a good time,
now don't youD--were all in the
blue Marine uniforms. There was
Miss Ficklen, who, is always strik-
ing looking and is decidedly the
more accomplished in the art Of the
new dances, the shimmy and such,
than any Of the girls I have seen
dancing this fall; and the bride,
who is OF an odd type OF beauty
tall, rather large and quite blonde
but with a piquant face. When
she danced with the bridegroom
she looked so happy; they both ap-
peared quite unconscious that there
was anyone else on the floor, and
assure you the floor was well
filled; crowded. She had on
a blue-gray or gray-blue taneta
frock. with a very short. slightly
gathered skirt. The bodice was
plain, cut rather high and kimono
fashion. with a tiny sleeve that
barely covered the shoulder. Miss
Anne Gordon, Mrs. George Bar
nett's pretty daughter, was there,
and also a very attractive young
lady in a charming soft, rich,
brown chiffon frock, sleeveless-an
indefinable frock with a French air
and most becoming. I don't know
who she was, but would like to
know.
The Americanization and patri-
otic education committee Of the Dis
trict D. A. R., Mrs. Roome, chair
man, met at the Thompson School
discussed for the work OF the COM
ing year. Mrs. Bertha NJ. Robbins

most charming of the season.

fair and the chapel decorations and
the dresses of maid of honor and

MANY ENTERTAINMENTS
FOR PROSPECTIVE BRIDES.

The majority of the weeks en-
tertainments centered around the
brides-to-be. The list of prospective
brides is growing daily and inter-
esting engagements are being an
nounced every day. The air is full
of rumOred engagements For in

KNOW heard last week that Mrs.
DelOs Blodgett is engaged, or about
to be, and that the lucky man fol-
lowed her to Europe this summer.
I heard that Sam Kaufman, the
younger son of Mr.. and Mrs. Vic

his engagement to Miss Miriam
Hoy, Of Albany, the very pretty
and altogether charming girl who
visited Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman here
last winter and at their camp in
New Hampshire last summer. l met
her when she was here last win
ter and thought she was lovely and
Mrs. Kaufman seems quite crazy
about her" I hear she is already
wearing her ring. Her people are
very wealthy. so an Albany man
told me. The same man also knows
very well Marion Rice, who recent
ly married Walter B. Brooks, and
he described her as charming.

Dame RUmor for some months-that
much is certain. But. gracious, how

Enthusiastic Meeting at st.
J0hnsbury of Cal. Forest
and Stream Club

Almost a hundred that Dr. Willard
Scott of Boston afterwards called
good sports" met at the Pythian
Hall Tuesday evening at the annual
banquet of the Caledonia Forest and
Stream Club and after enjoying a
splendid fish dinner and hearing a
speaker of national reputation added
135 members to the club.
The dinner was the finest of its
kind ever given in st. Johnsbury and
was served by Mrs. S. j. Somerville
and corps of assistants. A. H. Dins-
more furnished the perch for the
chowder and the fried hornpouts,
which were most deliciously cooked,
and the dessert consisted cf maple
sugar and doughnuts. =.
After the cigars were lighted, Pres
ident Herbert A. Smith raped for
order and presented DR.. Willard
Scott of Brookline, Mass, who spoke
for over an hour to the great enjoy
ment and instruction of a delighted
audience. This was d. Scott's first
appearance in st. Johnsbury and he
is sure Of a royal welcome when he
comes again. His general theme was
the mistakes of Henry Adams, the
man who could not adjust himself to
changing conditions. During the
course of his address, fine tributes
were paid to Henry Drummond, Rus
sell H. Conwell, Dwight l.. Moody,
Abraham Lincoln and Theodore
Dnncnx-a1t lnft
er's ideal of a good sport and his tri-
butte to the man that threw his hat
into the ring" brough out prolonged
applause.
DR.. Scott said the academic age
which Henry Adams thought would
always exist, was succeeded by the
capitalistic age when individuals be-
gan wild scramble for wealth and
nations began to gather in the colo
nies AS a result scramble we had
the world war.
The period of the good sport has
now arrived--the devotion to task
of universal efficiency. Nothing ven
ture, nothing have, and the man that
doesn't take a chance will have no
thing but heliotrope and ashes at the
end. Lincoln was sport when he
had the vision of freed nation and
Il united country and the greatest
sport of our day and generation was
the great adventurer who "threw his
hat in the ring"

tic address with personal Incidents

RETURNS CHILD
JUST BEFORE
COURT OPENS
Chas. E. Pierce of w. Burke
Turns Over 1S-MOnths
Old Baby to Mother

A special session of Orleans county
court with Judge Butler Of Rutland
presiding, was opened Tuesday morn
ing to hear contempt and a chan
cery case. Among the out Of town
lawyers attending the court are
States Attorney Frank d. Thompson
Of Barton, E. A. Cook, Orleans, W III
w. Reirden, Barton, 0. $. Annls
and Frank S. Rogers Of North Troy
A writ of habeas corpus was
brought by Mrs. Hazel Pierce against
Charles E. Pierce of West Burke to
regain possession Of her 18 months
old child, whom Piece has neld for
q few months. The woman is a SIS
ter-in-law of Charles Pierce. When
her husband died, Pierce took charge
of the baby and now the wants wants
the child back. Pierce refused to
return the child Hence the writ
against him. Just before the case
came before the court, however,
Pierce backed down and gave the
child to its mother
The chancery case was Ernest
Hodgdon of Groveton, N. H., VS.. Mrs
Fannie Reed of Westfeld, VT.
Sometime previous to 1912 Mrs.
Reed bought two mortgages on a
farm in NVestfield from the Orleans
Trust Company and Good Memorial
Trustees of Newport. In 1912, Mrs.
Reed started a foreclosure on the
mortgage against Hodgdon. The
mortgage amounted to about S1700.
Hodgdon was then minor with no
guardian. Mrs. Reed secured about
$1,000 by the foreclosure. Hodgdon
is suing to recover his share of the
money above the mortgage.
The court has taken the case un-
der advisement.
The contempt case Of Mrs. Julia
Dingman Of Albany vs.-C. Z r. Ding
man was heard Tuesday afternoon
and was continued today. Mrs. Ding
man was g1anted divorce from her
husband at the March term of court
and by order of the court n certain
portion of the family furniture was
to go to Mrs. Dingman.
Mrs. DinTman claims her husband
is in contempt in that he hasn't car
ried out the terms of the order of
the court.

HOOVER GETS
FINE VOTE IN
PRIMARIES
Leonard Wood, With State
Organization Behind Him
Leads In Vote

The presidential preference prima-
lies held yesterday in this state
shows that Major General Leonard
Wood carried the state by a large
majority. The vote given Herbert
Hoover was large one considering
that his name was not placed on the
ballot.
The outstanding feature was the
marked lack of interest manifested
by the voters. In city, large town and
small town the vote was small and
by no means representative although
the preponderance of preference
shown by the Republican vote was
10. General Wood. He and a New
York attorney, William Grant Web
ster were the only candidates to file
papers necessary to having their
names printed on the primary ballots.
Mr. Webster, unknown to Vermont
ers and whose candidacy is not taken
seriously, received a small number of
votes.

ESTIMATES LOSS FROM
STRIKES AS TWO BILLIONS

NEW YORK, May 19-The loss
from strikes in 1919 was estimated at
two billion dollars by Francis H. Sis
son, vice president of the Guaranty
Trust Co. speaking today at the con-
vention of the National Association
of Manufacturers Of this sum
$750,O00,000 represented loss OF
wages and the rest the cost to indus
try. Mr.. Sisson said the chief dang
er now was that the desirability of
low prices as an end in itself might
be so exaggerated as to lead to an
attempt TO force prices down through
halmfuE measures for the control Of
credit. He blamed strike fevers for
high living costs and increased rents.
