EIGHT PAOSfl DAILY UASTT ORHOOXIAN, nL!TON, OREGON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER, 22, 1910. PAGE THREE Society events The following Item taken from the Morning Astorian of Axtorla will be read with conxlderable Interest by Pendleton people: "Mrs. Fred Slming ton and Mrs, Oscar Slmlngton were hostesses Monday noon at a pink end white luncheon at which the an nouncement was made of the engage ment of Miss Irene Slmlngton and Mr. Edgar William Smith of Pendleton. They will be married during the com ing January." The announcement of this engagement Is the culmination of a college romance, for the bride and groom-to-be first met at the Univer sity of Oregon where both were stu dents. Miss Slmlngton was a former member of the class of 1911 and was a member of the local Beta Epsllon ororlty at that Institution which has since been granted a chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta.

THE UTILE OLD LADY AND BIG YOUNG MAN BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. A frail little old lady and a tall young man have Just passed beneath my window. They are mother and sen, and the little old lady gazes up at the tall young man as though he were the most wonderful production of the Twentieth century. "Look at him," her looks say as plainly as words. "Is he not bonny and splendid, this son of mine, with his six feet of muscle and his clean souled, honest young faceT" She leans on his arm and he pays her Just as much tender deference as though she were the girl of his heart. That's the way a man ought to be with his mother courteous, attentive and loving. That's how she dreamed of him when she pillowed his baby head on her breast. "Some day," she mused "this little sen of mine will grow Into a strong man, and he will take care of me Just as tenderly as I now take care of him. And he will be brave and hon orable and I shall be proud of my son. Ah. little feet, may your path through life be clean and honest" That's how every mother dreams. All tho dreams are sweet, for all the babies are sweet and good, no mat ter how far they may stray from the right way In after years. The mother love never changes, whether the dreams come true or not; steadfast, perfect, It endures through all things. There are a good many young men who love their mothers sincerely, but the mothers have to take the love largely on faith. Don't Tie Ashamed. Perhaps the young men are asham ed to show their love for fear of be ing thought sllljr. They need not be for every one ad mires ithe; young man who Is devoted to his mother. There is no prettier sight than a young man taking ten der care of his mother. How many sons who leave home make a practice of writing home every week? Not many, I am afraid, and yet most of those young men write to some girl once or several times a week. I suppose they think the girl ap preciates their letters more than their mother would, but she doesn't, not one-half as much. The son goes away to the city and he almost forgets the patient, loving heart he leaves behind him. But the mother doesn't forget, and every night her Inst thought is a prayer for the faraway boy. He will always be a little boy to her, even though he may be a great man of affairs in some far-distant city. Young men come to this country from all over the world, and the mothers stay behind, knowing that they will never see their boys again. But, even though they may never see the dearly-loved face again, letters would be a great comfort. I heard of one old woman the other dny who had not heard from her son i In twenty years, but she was still ex pecting a letter. Can you bear to think of those mothers watching and praying for letters that never come? Don't let your mother wait for her letter: write, if It Is only a few lines. It Is not much to give her af ter all the years of love and service she gave you. There Is an old saying, "A daugh ter's a daughter all her life, but a son's a son 'till he gets him a wife." A wife can do much to take her husband awny from his mother or she can urge him to show her every attention. If she is a good and wise woman she follows the lntter course. Every mother has Just a little cause to be jealous of her son's wife, but no wife has any cause to bo Jealous of her hURband's mother. He owes his mother a debt which can only be paid by a lifetime of ten derness and attention, and his wife should be the one to help him pay It and not hold him back because of petty Jealousy.
