The pretty custom among the
children, of leaving a May bas
ket at the (lir of a friend, was
not overlooked last Friday morn
ing for many children were up
bright anil early to take baskets
of flowers to their little friends
and the childish heart waa made
light and happy.
Mrs. E. E. l'aildock, soprano,
was soloist at the Methodist
church Sunday naming. Her
Bong was 'tost hea ily received.
Mrs. Knapp was ao-'ompanist.
The May day darunjr party giv
en by the Vacant as last Friday
night was a very smart social
event. The club colors, laven
der and white were artistically
carried out in all the appoint
ments, and suspended May has
kets tilled with fragrant lilacs
centered the spacious dancing
hall.
The last few days being so
ideal, picnic parties are being en
ticed to rustic seem s. The fol

Wednesday morning motoring to

train for Iliac k Hock. The h

and could easily be distinguished
from the other men. They had
been coaxed up so early they I
looked just a little ? sleepy.

wore joint hostesses to a large
gathering of friends.
1 he pretty home of Mrs. Pat
ton was made more attractive bj
an artistic arrangement of a pro
fusion of Spring flowers and May
baskets, which madi? a pictur
esque background for the hand
somely gowned ladies.
Nine tables were arranged for
the ever pleasing game of five
hundred.
At the conclusion of the games
it was found that Mrs. Claude
Skinner had captured the first
prize, a beautiful brass rose bowl.
To round out the pleasure of
the afternoon, the hostess served
a most refreshing ice course to
the company.
STYLES IN DANCING
Just as the t ew and extreme
styles in dress give occupation to
the modistes, so do the extreme
styles in dancing revie the busi
ness of the dancing academies.
In the long period, following
the abolition of all fancy steps,
when nothing, but the staid
waltz and two-step were in good
form, the dancing masters were
hard put to it to make a living.
The ccming of the tango, with
its amazing variations and possi
bilities, makes business for the
tettchers. just as the old High
land sehottische, the polka, ma
zurka and numerous other dainty
lances gave the dancing masters
enough to do to instruct the
youth of olden time.
And the resources of the in
ventors of the new dances, now
that the bars have been let down
tordinit the freakish steps, are
unlimited. We may expect rap
ididly changing styles in dancing
hereafter, something fresh ev
ery season to match the new
gown or coitTurj.
THE CRAB CLUB
Mr. and Mrs. t'onkey received
the members of the Crab Club at

After a handsomely apointed

REPUBLICAN VOTERS
SHOULD BEWARE
Party Should Be Represented
on National Committee
Cy a Republican
The Ki puhllnans of Oregon are en- I
titled to have a Republican named as
the National Republican Committee
man from this St:ite. C. W. Ackereon,
who cblms to be a Republican, la a I
candidate, lie reentered a a i'rosres
sive January X, VjU. Then algned peti
tion or II V. Cos to be I'rogretiBive
N.iiioiial Commit teemaii. Then can
celled bin registration as a Progres
sive and n fciiiiei ed as a Republican
and immediately filed his candidacy
for i . inW-r hip on Republican Nation
al (' minil ' Has been an intimate
a. "I -(ri vt-n ' nt understudy of the I'ro
greiiivu N Tonal Committeeman and
f" i ' rin to be in combination with
him In an attempt to shanghai the
Ri publican organization. Ilia candi
dacy Is being actively backed by par
ties hohtile to the Republican purty
and haling personal lntere.;lH and pri
vate personal grudget. to nerve. His
erratic and excitable temperament has
frequently led him to flood tlio col
umns of the pres.i w ith violent attacks
upon the Republican party and vicious
personal abuse of prominent Republi
cans and lifelong residents of the
Stale.
It is a grave abuse for parties who
are not Republican to register as such.
It Is a k raver abusu for outsldera to
attempt the capture of a political par
ty to gr-itify a personal grudge and
to promote party discord. It Is an
abuse against which fair-minded men
of all parties will rlso In protest. We
can never have a reunited party by
pushing to the front political hotheads
and men who are political reformers
simply for the sake of office. Having
been a Republican only twenty-four
hours when he announced hla candi
dacy for the highest honorary position
In the gift of the party, is some indi
cation of what Mr. Ackerson's motive
was in registering as a Republican.
As Hon. Ralph K. Wllllums is the only
Republlcun who is a candidate for
Republican Nutlonal Committeeman,
we feel warranted In urging all loyal
Republicans In the state to give him
their earnest and enthusiastic support.
