The Coconino sun., 1924-05-09


Miss Katherine McMullen was
again honored at a beautiful shower,
given this time by the faculty at
Bury hall last Thursday evening. The
affair was linen shower, the linen
being given to her in a very unique
manner, which was somewhat nike
this. First, there was a very striking
mock wedding ceremony in which Miss
DockStader was the bride, Miss LutZ
the groom, Miss Bormose the brides
maid, Miss Boyce the best man, Miss
Maxwell and Mrs. BellWood flower
girls, Miss Wheeler the ringbearer,
and Miss Pragst the minister. As
Miss Whetsel played the march the
strangely bedecked wedding party fill
ed in and was ready for the ceremony.
Mrs. Jessup sang. a solo and then
Miss Pragst read the wedding ritual
Feeling was unanimous in declaring
Miss Pragst the best minister on the
campus. 1t is not know whether her
popularity was due to the remarkable
ceremony she read or to her natural
ability but we are inclined to think
it was both. Following this elabor-
ate and well-planned ceremony the
mock brides place in the bridal pro-
cession was taken by the bride-elect
and the party moved under large
inverted umbrella, which was made
of crepe paper, rose petals and sus-
pended from the ceiling. Under this
the party halted and before anyone
knew what was happening, the ring
bearer had tipped over the umbrella
and a shower of beautiful linen was
pouring down on the surprised bride
to be.
The whole affair was a surprise to
her until the day before the shower
when pretty May basket was craft
lily placed on her dresser with an in
vitation inside inviting her to attend.
The whole thing was smoothly plan
ned and there was not an idle mo-
ment of time. The decorations were
of lavender and pink. Sweet peas of
these colors were displayed with ex-
cellent effect. The lamps were all
covered with crepe paper and were
made to resemble roses. The soft,
subuded light which they cast covered
the whole scene with the spirit of
mirth and joy. Lovely pink and Law

Quite a representation of Normal
ties heard Galli-Curci sing in Phoe-
nix on Saturday night. Besides the
whole Glee club party which was in
Phoenix, Mrs. Jessup, domestic art
instructor, and several students, were
fortunate enough to be there. Mrs.
Jessup motored back on Sunday with
Mrs. Pearson.
The Glee club gave their first per-
formance Friday night at Prescott.
This week is being spent in the Salt
River valley and border towns. They
will return Tuesday of next week. I'M
| iversal success seems to be their
achievement from the reports of the
concerts which have been heard from.
/ Americas foremost composer,
Charles Wakefield Cadman, and Prin-
cess Tsinanina, greatest Indian sing
er, who sings his songs, will appear
in the auditorium Tuesday evening,
May 13 at 7:15 p. m. This is an un-
usual opportunity for Nor1nalites and
people of Flagstaff. Cadman, who
composed "Shanewisp of Metropolitan
fame, and Tsianina, who starred in
it, in Flagstaff. 1t sounds Incredible,
but is nevertheless so. Cadman is
the author of four operas and 800
other published works, ranking from
the simplest teaching pieces for piano
to grand opera, and including four
song cycles, organ, violin and cello
numbers, choral compositions and
scores of beautiful songs. He is more
fortunate than most composers, how
ever, in that he is able to play his
own compositions in way to cap
ture his audiences. He has appeared
with most of the famous singers of
the world today, but has found no one
who interprets his songs as well as
/ the beautiful Cherokee-Creek prin-
cess Tsianina, who will sing in con-
cert here with him on Tuesday.
/ The audience which heard Skov-
i gard was more than pleased and it
is expected Cadman will go over with
more praise than Skovgaard. The
Normal brings the highest type of
entertainers and Flagstaff people
have certainly shown that they are
well pleased with them.

SCHOONER WITH
3 OF CREW DEAD
AT GLOUCESTER

Gloucester, Mass, Aug. 29-Three
more names were added to the list
of dead from last Tuesday, when the
battered hulk of the Alice and Will
son, fishing schooner was towed into
her home port here tonight by the
schooner Mary of New Bedford.
The nine survivors of the crew
told a story of the miraculous es-
cape of Captain John Hall, of the
terrific onslaught of the storm, of
crashing masts and spars, and of
long and aimless drifting until res
cued yesterday morning.
The schooner, they said, had been
fishing about five miles southwest
of the Nantucket lightship on the
South Shoals. Without warning the
storm burst upon them, stripping
the ship of both maSts, boWsprit,
boats, deck gear and forecastle gang.
With the gear went overheard
Captain Hall, James Holland of
Prince Edward Island, Joseph King
of Gloucester and Manuel Marks of
Gloucester. The backwash of a
huge wave flung the first named
three back on the deck. Captain
Hall graSped corner of the hatch.
The other two, bruised and battered,
had no time to recover before a Sec
ond wave again washed them away.
This time they did. not come back.
Helpless in a derelict ship, the
nine rode out the fury of the storm.
When it abated, Captain Hall order
ed a spar fastened to the stump of
the mainmast and from it flew the
flag. union down.
SiXty-two hours later Captain
Ambrose Smith of the Mary. sighted
the distress signal of the Alice and
Wilson and took her in tow. She
was then forty miles off Sankaty
head, Nantucket.
Tonight the fishing colony of
Gloucester dreaded further bad It'd
ings from it's scattered fleet. Yester-
day. the schooner Dorcas came into
port with it's flag half mast for her
captain, Joseph Silveria. With the
Alice and Wilson the total for this
port against the Tuesday hurricane
stands at four lives lost and two
schooners smashed and battered. SO
Gloucester awaits, for ither ships
are still at sea.

DAWES CONCRETE
PROMISE MADE TO
AMERICAN FARMER
BRITISH PLEASED
WITH REICHSTAC
view DAWES PLAN

London, Aug. 29-(By A. P.)-The
adoption by the German Reichstae
of the bills required to make the
Dawes plan operative registered a
great and hardly expected triumph
which in England is hailed as COM
pletely opening a new era in the his
tory of Europe's postwar politics.
The vote in the Reichstag is held
in political circles to justify the
comprises involved in the agreement
reached at the London conference
compromises which caused doubts
to arise in all the chief countries
concerned. these revolving around
the question of the duration of the
occupation of the Ruhr.
France and Germany having rati-
fed the London agreement, it will be
formally signed here tomorrow. Ac-
ceptance by the British, Italian and
other parliaments concerned in a
foregon conclusion, and nothing now
hinders the putting of the Dawes
plan into operation.
Here in England the event Is hail
ed as all the greater victory because
1t has been obtained without any les
SEEMING in the friendship between
Great Britain and France. On all
sides it Is admitted that the entente
has been strengthened rather than
weakened by the London conference.
Ramsay Macdonald in his capa-
city as foreign secretary, is generally
considered as having earned the
greatest praise for his conduct of
the negotiations in London but in
political circles this IS believed not
to mean that his pathway will be
clear of difficulties when he faces
the House of Commons next Monday.
A large body of the I4aborite men,
bers of the House of Commons argue
that as Great Britain contests the
legality of Frances occupation of the
Ruhr, Mr.. Macdonald ought not to
have consented to its continuance,
even for one year.

at his personal headquarters here. He

the Democratic national committee;
George White of Ohio, a former chair
man, and other of his advisers con-
corning both the western trip and gen.
eral campaign matters.
Included among the days callers
was William II. Lewis, a negro lawyer
of Boston. who was assistant attorney
