Corvallis, Dec. 6. (Special.) Mrs.
Kittie G. Turner, formerly of Union,
entertained the sons and daughters'
of former Union county friends on
last Saturday evening. The evening
was Bpent in playing old-fashioned
games; after which light refreshments
were served. A most enjoyoble time
was reported by all. Those preesnt
were: Mrs. Adah Walters, Mrs. Alice
Allen and Mrs. Frances Walters of
Cove; Messrs. Lee Reynolds,. Winfleld
Eckley and John Proebstel ' pt La
Grande; Missess -Letitia Thompaonr

velous patch quilts mere. Yet the
real interest is centered in the dialogue
of the visitors at the fair and in the
musical numbers to be presented.
As the scene opens the loud-mouthed
fakers, lemonade man, side-ahow
barker and the balloon man will al
most deafen you with their mighty
yells. Then follows a quick succession
of farmers, old maids, school boys,
jockeys, preachers Dride and. groom,
gold-brick men, city visitors a con
glomeration of the characters one can
possibly imagine at a county fair,
each with an appropriate dialogue and
conversation. All of this colloquy isj
of the most humorous nature and has;
life and spirit to it that keeps tha
audience in constant convulsions.
One of the big features ' of the
County Fair is the moon chorus by a
large number of girls between the ages
of three and nine years. tl ig said
to be one of the prettiest and cutest !
ever. There will be another children s
chorus and six young men and young
ladies' choruses. All of these are the
latest, catchiest song productions and
are presented in a beautiful, attract
ive manner. ,
The best tatlent of the ciy will par
ticipate and there can be no doubt
of the fair being a rousing success,
as ' our talent, we believe, is rather
superior to that of the average town.

One of ' the delightful ' informal
affairs of the week was a party given
last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
A W. Leffell, 902 Main street The
guests came dresed as misses of tender
years and amusing games were played
during the evening. Those in at

Mrs. T. Bartholomew, ' Misses Lucile
Mulkey, Marie Bolton, Ruth and May
Day, Mariam Smith, ' Gladys Van

Under the tutelage of Miss Edwards,
"dean" of the Domestic Science de

High school girls last evening served
a delicious banquet to the High school
and- alumni football ' teams. From
many standpoints it was the most im

elaborate dinners been served there as

Professor Horner's "Tales of the

feature of the evening, and the occa

the vote for other Grande Ronde re
unions was unanimous.
Though rejiearsals have only just
gotten under way, it has demonstrated
that "The County Fair" is going to
be a tremendous success. The re

actors who will take parts, she U

Wednesday night Mr. and Mrs.
Kirtley and Mr. and Mrs. Crowe were
charming entertainers when they had
assembled about them fully 400 guests
to dance. Novel decoration schemes,
the same high quality of gown dis
plnys, equally congenial guests and
equally as much genuine pleasure as
reigned two nights before it, sum
marizes the function. The decorations
for the evening were exceptionally
pretty. Thirty-two suspended flower
boskets hung from the balcony railing
and each was stufledjjvith carnations
and chrysanthemums. Approximately
50 dozen carnations were used In these
baskets and on the other phases of the
decorations. A bower with its posts
set off with clinging poinsettas, added
smartness to the east end of the hall
and served as a refreshment nook
where caterers served coffee and
sandwiches. . i
