j SOCIETY EVENTS
COINCIDENT WITH the enjoy
ment in the various dances and
parties which have been given
this spring has been the admiration
for tHe exquisite decorations which
the woods around Marshfleld have
contributed. Perhaps no section of
-Oregon affords such lavish uso of
evergreens and flowers as does Coos
county. The several varieties of
huckleberry, with cedar, fir and
Ticmlock have long been staples in
tho decorative art as well as the
feathery black willow and brake
Icrn. Very beautiful effects can bo
gained by the uso of wild flowers.
Tho great abundance of rhododen
dron, or mountain laurel, allows a
profuse disposal of them and tho
pink masses of bloom show to great
advantage among their own glossy
green leaves which adorned tho vic
tors of old. Another pleasing color
scheme can be gained by the use of
tho Scotch Broom which will soon
make the hills northwest of town a
blaze of goldon glory. This thick
growth was first started in the coun
ty by early settlers who planted a
small bush of the Imported shrub in
the old cemetery, little knowing its
spreading qualities and to what ex
tent it would take root.
Fox-gloves, or as tho druggist
calls It "digitalis" are just coming
in season. Their gay colors add a
bright note to the green background
of the hillsides and pastures and
their graceful stems and nodding
plumes make them particularly
adaptable to boquet forms of deco
ration. The wild lilac, or grease-wood Is
giving tho hills up Coos river the
purple shadows so much admired
by tho modern artist. Its feathery
blooms are extremely delicate and
Its chief decorative uso Is tho beauty
it lends to its place of growth. Dog
wood, wild-crab apple and mock
orango are very decorative both for
their foliage and blossoms, but their
haunts are far from town and
necessitate quite a Journey to secure
them.
Nearer town are the numerous
varieties of smaller flowers which
are the delight of the children In the
early spring. Trillium daisies, both
purple and yellow violets, or Johnny-jump-ups;
and dandelions, dot tho
fields and mossy spots under the
trees. Splendid boquets of field
flowers may be secured with but
very little exertion as red and white
clover buttercups, marguerites and
all kinds of beautiful grasses grow
in profusion on the marshes near
town.
Among tho rarer and more
delicate wild flowers which do not
permit transportation from their
woody homes are Indlanplpes and a
very delicate orchid which grows on
the cliffs near tho Cape Arago light
house. There are quantities of small un
named flowers which tho lovers of
nature watch for every year; but
thero must always bo many "born to
blush unseen" and to dio in order
to scatter their seed broadcast for
tho next year's harvest of beauty.
week in July. The beaches will not
vie in popularity until tho next
month; but tho last week of August
will probably see a great many back
in town as the district fair takes
place then, nnd thero Is the promise
of some very good races.
Marshfleld has been dormant so
cially this spring. Perhaps tho late
arrival of warm weather, which has
just put In Its appearance this week
has had something to do with it for
tho merry making sprit has not yet
boon abroad, nut fow launch par

spots as tho cold winds and show
