The bride Is Miss Elsie Vowles, born in London, coming to Oregon City fouj yearn ago from England, having travel ed extensively through Europe be fore taking up her residence In Clack araas county. The bridegroom is Will lam F. Stnggs of Carthage, Missouri who was with the spruce division sta tioned at Vancouver Barracks. The young couple had met but twice, and the courtship has been done mostly by correspondence, as the bride has been spending the past three months with her brother in California. The wedding, -which has been kept a secret,- was announced Saturday morning, and came as a complete sur prise to the friends of the young cou ple.

The affair was in honor of the little girl's seventh birth day anniversary, her little friends be ing invited in to spend the afternoon.

The table was centered with tho big white cake jrettily ornamented with tiny pins, candles, and each piece was marked with a tiny pink basket filled with pink candles. Festoons of pink satin ribbons extended from the electroliers to the table, and the shades were of pink crepe paper.

Stewart on the opposite side of the street, where he had been car ried, and as a result of the fall through the skylight to the floor below.

And the Elks, who had been hearing from their local lodges, greeted them with enthuslalsm. In more than fifty cities the Elks took complete charge of that drive no tably In Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kan sas City, and St. Louis. They paraded the streets; they got tip circuses. They left the Salvation Army people, who really had enough to do with their regular work, free, and guaranteed the money. 'They saw us through," says Col onel W. A. Mclntyre, who is at the head of the army's New York office. "We're still a little dazed by all they did for us. We never could have got the money without them. We couldn't ask them for anything they didn't give us. Usually we didn't have a chance to ask. They took hold of our drive magnificently. There aren't words strong enough in praise of the Elks. 'They're a wonderful lot It's not quite a new thing for them to help us. I remember, once, years ago, they held their Grand Lodge In Buffalo. And at the same time we were having festival and trying to raise some money. We had a hnrdy-gurdy, among other things. Well, a lot of those Elks Just took that hurdy-gurdy away from us. They kept It going for three days and night! They charged a dollar a ride, and every Elk must have ridden dozen times. They went all over town in it We'd never seen as much money as they handed over to us." It isn't a new thing for the Elks to turn In and help in an emergency, either.

He stayed out there for weeks, and for a time the Elks were the only people who had any cash at all tor re lief work the banks being closed. Brown tell one story of that time. He and a lot of other relief workers, went Into a little town on the penin sula that had been left an utter wreck. Brown spoke last at a meeting that wa organized. "The others passed around slips on which people could write down what they needed," Brown says. "It was fine and it was all they could do. But when It was my turn I opened a satchel I had and slapped down five thousand dollars in bills. "'There's what the Elks can do, Mr. Mayor!' I said. 'We happen to have the cash. Go to it!' " The Elks contributed and sent in four hundred carloads of food to San Francisco. And they raised so much money that Brown couldn't spend it, and out of the surplus a fund was es tablished that the Elks have used ever since to give quick relief In case of disaster. They helped in the game way at the time of the Dayton floods In 1913, and after the forest fires in Minnesota last autumn. And at Christmas no. soldier's chil dren lacked Christmas cheer. House- to-house Investigations by the local lodges of the Elks took care of that Christmas ha been a great Elk time always. Every lodge has sent mem bers around, hunting up kids 8anta Claus was pretty sure to overlook. And on Christina morning there'd be a basket, with dolls and sleds and oranges and candy. After Christmas there would be, as a rule, too, mora permanent help something to Insure the future. But the Elks think kids ought to have a good time Christmas, and hang the expense! Don't yon rather like these Elks?
