JOSO'WWOSSOSQSOOOS K.i WNS visa' m being lively and interesting In a social way. Plans are already In process of formation for numerous al fresco affairs as soon as the genial glow of the summer sun lures to the cozy retreats that are so numerous In the vicinity of Coos Day. Mrs. A. O. Rogers of South Hlvcr, Is spending a few days her parents on Larson Slough. Coos with Drawing tlio Laugh Line. l7can raise a sickly giggle at a story of a souse; When a woman drops a bundle I can smile; I can conjure up a cackle at a wom an and a mouse; Or at jokelets of the mother-in-law style. -My rlslbles are tickled at the rural type or jest, For I love to smile a bit at country folks. At the jokes on Mr. Taft I've invari ably laughed But I will not laugh at "Merry Widow" jokes. It a man fall from a ladder I just have to hold my sides; Over jokes on Mr. Dryan I can gloat; I love the merry jokelets on the cooking of the brides; And the summer boarder wheezes get my goat. On the stolen silk umbrella I just laugh and laugh; I'm convulsed at merry quips and witty pokes. For most anything at all I am quite content to fall But I will not laugh at "Merry Widow" jokes. A jolly crowd of boys including Fred. McCormac, Charlton Lee, Dun can Douglas, Alton Johnson, George Johnson, Tom Paterson, and Ralph Kruse spent the past week at La Siesta, the McCormac bungalow on South Coos River.

Walter has been the recipient of nu merous compliments for the masterly manner in which ho conducted the recent "clean up campaign." X AT THE CHURCHES it THK LUTIIEUAN CHURCH. H Rev. B. F.

Tho latter had just taken aim at the former and another moment would have been fatal when Miss Miller stepped between the two. Before the pursued could walk around tho hat the pursued had es caped to a place of safety. The former says now that he is thankful the "Merry Widow" hat came in his way, because it gave him a chance to cool off, while the latter is full of gratitude that it interfered just in time to save him from an untimely death. Such Incidents as these may not reconcile us to the "Merry Widow" hat, but they should teach us not to bo in too great haste to condemn it. Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Simpson of North Bend, pleasantly entertained a small party of friends at a codfish slipper at their homo in North Bend Tuesday evening. Among those present were Dr. and Mrs. Gale, Mr. and Mrs. Wernich and Mr. and Mrs. Keating. COOS BAY has not escaped tho epidemic lias not raged here with "Merry Widow" craze altlio the tho virulence which marks its reign In tho East. There, tho "Merry AVldow" hat occupies tho center of the stage, tho church, the home, and tho street. It is on tho heads of J Mr. and Mrs. F. S. McCollum en tertained a few friends at a small dinner party at their beautiful new homo in North Bend last Sunday evening. Among those present were Miss Anne Flanagan, Mr. and Mrs. Wernich, Mr. Arnold, Dr. and Mrs. Galo and Charles Keene. Marshfleld and North Bend people who maintain summer homes up Coos river or on some of the various inlets are already planning to occupy them. Usually, the exodus to the summer homos does not begin until women and in tho heads of men.

Tho problem was solved only when sho took tho hat off. On tho other hand, a lire broke out In a St. Louis church on Sun day last, and if tho ".Merry Widow" hats in tho front rows had not con cealed tho blaze from tho people In tho back rows there would have been a panic. Thcso two cases, which have been reported by veracious correspond ents, go to show that wo should not bo too hasty in coming to a conclu sion regarding tho ".Merry Widow" hat. It may bo a nuisance, to be sure, under certain circumstan v., and then, again it may prove, undo.' other ciicunistances; to bo ono of the most useful of recent invent ions. That Is to say we may bo called uu 'i to read boiucthing like this: A "Merry Widow" hat came near causing a run on ono of tho greatest hanks in yesterday. Just as rhe wearer, a charming young worn ill. wns rounding tho hank corner a crowd of men who were coming ho other way stopped Intending, no doubt, to retreat In order to glvo her tho right of way. Tho sudden stop ping in front, however, only served, as It always does In a largo city, to increase tuo pressure ticiiiutl, ami in a short time tho crowd extended across tho btroot and for a block each way. Then somebody htarted tho rumor that tho bank was In trouble, and if tho lire depart niont had not been called out to quench tho excitement thero is no tolling what might havo happened. As boon as tho young lady in tho "Merry Widow" hat had ebcapod tho crush sho wont to a shop window to boo If tho hat wbb on straight, and finding that it was, sho tripped away us if nothing unusual had happened. Or ll!(o tills: Today as Daisy Miller, ono of tho irutttoBt girls In this town, was com ing down our principal rtrect In u "Merry Widow" hat two angry men emerged from u saloon, tho foremost shouting for help, tho other flourish- of construction. The announcement that tho United States naval tleet now on a tour of the world will sail close in to Coos Hay, has caused many to begin plan ning to at least to get a sight of the Lovathans. It has been proposed that a party bo organized and a largo sea going vessel chartered to take a party of Mnrshtleld and North Bend peoplo out. If tho day is clear, It will be eas to see the fleet from Capo Arago and tho new summer home of L, J. Simpson at Sunset May. If the whether Is favorable, a trip to see tho fleet will bo niado a social event on Coos Hay and will probably con- ert tho day Into a real holiday. Mrs. Otto Schetter is entertaining tho club at her home. this afternoon Bridge Whibt The A. N. W. Club held a very en iojablo session at tho homo of Mrs. F. M.

Other matters pertaining to for ward chic improvement were also taken up but they will not bo launch ed for a short time. Tho club is ready to instal the proposed fountain us soon as tho site can bo determined upon and this will probably bo done immediately after tho arrival of Mr Grimes.
