Thanksgiving-Then and Now Ot all the monthly talks that Dr. Edward Everett Halo has given the readers c f SVomsn’s Home Com panion, none have been more de lightful than t>>at in the November issue on ‘ ‘Thanksgiving—-Then and Now .” With bis wonderful power of reminiscencing, Dr. Hale talks, rather than writes, to his readers on the earliest New England Thanksgiviugs in their Puritanic setting, and then of our latter-day celebrations, still strong ot the old- time flavor, yet pregnant with pos sibilities in which twentieth-century steam cats and motors play a large part. No oue could have written so delightful a Thanksgiving hotuily but Dr. Hale. Quick Work. Forest Grove, Or, Oct. 29.— G . Harvey Baldwiu, of this place, v a i married in Portland, Monday, to Miss Birdella I.ene James, of O x ford, Neb., Judge Calvin U. Gan- tenhein officiating. The bride came here front her home in Nebraska a month ago and had been visiting her uncle, F. W. Emerson, of this place. The groom fell in love with Miss James at once, although it was the first time he had ever seen her. She was not aware even at the fist that he intended to p r o pose. Mr. Bal I win accompanied her to Portland last Monday on her wav home to Oxford, and while she was on her way to purchase her ticket East, proposed and was ac cepted. Miss James says when she left Forest Grove Monday to go homo she never thought o f marry ing. Mr. Baldwin is a brick mason and builder by occupation. He superintended the building of tbe foundation o! the new ladies’ hall of Pacific University just finished at this place.
