As the happy culmination of a short romance, came the wedding of Miss Pauline Dell Newton and Chauncey Earl Bunting, junior member of the architect firm of Bloch & Bunting of this city, last Wednesday evening at the Methodist church. A group of guests of a hundred or more warm friends of the bride and groom who are both popular young people of the city, witnessed the ceremony. The chyoh presented a pretty appearance, with a color note of white and green prevailing and great bouquets of white Shasta daisies and white rose? bank- ing the back of the altar at which the nuptials were said. The ushers were Way Neill and Helen Currey. At a few minutes to 8 o'clock in the even ing Miss Olive Massee sang "Eecausa" and just at eight Roy Tibbies, a music teacher of Baker, who taught the bride her extensive knowledge of mus ic, played the wedding march. Miss Alaidene Scroggin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Scroggin, was the flow er girl, and lead the bride and her bridesmaid up the aisle to the pltar stringing roses from the door to the altar, where the bridal procession was mel by Rev. E. B Fyke, D.

At a late hour a crowd of friends accompanied the happy cou ple to the train and sent them on their journey with well wishes for a happy future. They will return tomorrow to make their future home in th:, city. The home of 'Mr. and Mrs. Gay Ellis, "803 Jefferson street, was the scene of a very pretty wedding last Tuesday morning, July 15th, at eleven o'clock, when their sisler, Mi;s Gertrude Pout ing was married to Judge Colney Jean .Tidball, both of Laramie, Wyoming.

Nature was kind, very kind, in fact, and had the hostesses waited for 10 years they could not have found a more propitious occasion from a climate viewpoint. A balmy moon beamed down on 120 cou-j plea who danced and visited and ate ice cream and drank lemonade with in-! formality and great delight. The floor was exceptionally smooth some wor ried at the possibility of dancing on a cement floor, but the preparations had been complete and careful. Few board floors could be better. Cool ev vening breezes sang through the tree tops and fanned the dancers with riv er cold ozone as they swept through the open pavilion. The pa vilion is to have another dance in it soon for those who went Thursday night, are desirous of r.aving another opportunity to go for no summer danc ing party could be staged in a cooler, more delightful setting than was that last Thursday evening. f fr Convinced that social functions can be very successfully staged at thei pavilion at Riverside park, the direct ors of the Grande Ronde chautauqua are thinking of holding the annual, meeting of the membership ticket holders at the park. This is one planj advanced, and another is to hold the meeting in town and definite selection! will be made soon. On such a night as Thursday when the first big danc ing party was held at the park, no more pleasant gathering ground could be imagined or a more delightful walk undertaken than to go to the park j and back in an evening. If the meet ing is held at the park a marshmel- i low roast at trie lire place win re one of the features of entertainment. A reception was held Tuesday night in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram F.
