saw no Indians now; she saw flourmls and the
blinking windows of skyscrapers in Minneapolis and
st. Paul. Nor was she thinking of squaws and port
ages and the Yankee fur-traders whose shadows
were all about her. She was meditating upon wal
nut fudge, the plays Of Brieux, the reasons why
heels run over and the fact that the chemistry in
structor had stared at the coiffure which con-
lcealed her ears.
A breeze which had crossed thousand miles of
wheat-lands bellied her taffeta skirt in line so
graceful, so full of animation and moving beauty,
that the heart of chance watcher the lower road
frightened to wstfuness her quality of suspended
freedom. She lifted her arms, she leaned back

more, who was assisted by Mrs.
Verna Abbey McQuillian and Miss
Adelena Landry in honor of Miss
Greenwood's approaching marriage
to Charles Smith of Montreal, Can,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. N. Smith of
Madison avenue, Skowhegan. The
rooms were beautifully decorated
with apple blossoms and violets.
Appropriate and n-provoking
games including. "Trousseau Con-
test" What Would You Say" "A
Can Contest and What Will His
Wife Wear?" These were directed
by Mrs. MeQuillian and Miss Landry
and the contest questions were ar
ranged in very attractive booklets in
soft gray and red, decorated with
red cupids. The dining room was
made very pretty indeed with the
apple blossoms and the lights were
shaded by pink crepe paper. Over
the dining table and suspended from
Maypole wound in pink, blue and
white. was a Maybasket which con-
tanned beautiful gifts of cut glass
and silver for the bride-to-be. A
year ago last February Miss Green
wood gave a shower party for Mrs.
Whittemore before her marriage and
Miss Greenwood on Thursday eve
ming found the Maybasket holding
her gifts with the same cord that
had served the same purpose at the
party given by her to Mrs. White
more. The refreshments consisted
of dainty an delicious ices, cakes.
cookies and crackers. In every re-
spect this party was a great social
success and proved that Mrs. Whit
temore, Mrs. McQuillian and Miss
Landry are royal entertainers when
they unite their efforts. The fol-
lowing were present besides the
guest of honor: Florence Burrill,
