THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREQ ON, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1908 Km 1 , 1 t i r i t i 8 c S 1 0 a t ,.v, w M H M lm j SOCIETY EVENTS COINCIDENT WITH the enjoy ment in the various dances and parties which have been given this spring has been the admiration for tHe exquisite decorations which the woods around Marshfleld have contributed. Perhaps no section of -Oregon affords such lavish uso of evergreens and flowers as does Coos county. The several varieties of huckleberry, with cedar, fir and Ticmlock have long been staples in tho decorative art as well as the feathery black willow and brake Icrn. Very beautiful effects can bo gained by the uso of wild flowers. Tho great abundance of rhododen dron, or mountain laurel, allows a profuse disposal of them and tho pink masses of bloom show to great advantage among their own glossy green leaves which adorned tho vic tors of old. Another pleasing color scheme can be gained by the use of tho Scotch Broom which will soon make the hills northwest of town a blaze of goldon glory. This thick growth was first started in the coun ty by early settlers who planted a small bush of the Imported shrub in the old cemetery, little knowing its spreading qualities and to what ex tent it would take root. Fox-gloves, or as tho druggist calls It "digitalis" are just coming in season. Their gay colors add a bright note to the green background of the hillsides and pastures and their graceful stems and nodding plumes make them particularly adaptable to boquet forms of deco ration. The wild lilac, or grease-wood Is giving tho hills up Coos river the purple shadows so much admired by tho modern artist. Its feathery blooms are extremely delicate and Its chief decorative uso Is tho beauty it lends to its place of growth. Dog wood, wild-crab apple and mock orango are very decorative both for their foliage and blossoms, but their haunts are far from town and necessitate quite a Journey to secure them. Nearer town are the numerous varieties of smaller flowers which are the delight of the children In the early spring. Trillium daisies, both purple and yellow violets, or Johnny-jump-ups; and dandelions, dot tho fields and mossy spots under the trees. Splendid boquets of field flowers may be secured with but very little exertion as red and white clover buttercups, marguerites and all kinds of beautiful grasses grow in profusion on the marshes near town. Among tho rarer and more delicate wild flowers which do not permit transportation from their woody homes are Indlanplpes and a very delicate orchid which grows on the cliffs near tho Cape Arago light house. There are quantities of small un named flowers which tho lovers of nature watch for every year; but thero must always bo many "born to blush unseen" and to dio in order to scatter their seed broadcast for tho next year's harvest of beauty. week in July. The beaches will not vie in popularity until tho next month; but tho last week of August will probably see a great many back in town as the district fair takes place then, nnd thero Is the promise of some very good races. Marshfleld has been dormant so cially this spring. Perhaps tho late arrival of warm weather, which has just put In Its appearance this week has had something to do with it for tho merry making sprit has not yet boon abroad, nut fow launch par ties have visited tho favorite picnic spots as tho cold winds and show ers aro not conducive to pleasant memories of days in tho woods and at tho beach.
