The beantiful which covered the ground
this morning, was only "skin deep", and
not" very thick skin at that; but it gives
things a wintry appearance and we like
it. It's weir enough to speak of our'
balmy summer days in the middle of
winter; they're all right in their way,
but they don't weigh much and neither
do the residents, when it comes to con
sidering their healthfulnese. There is
always less sickness and a healthier
community when . we have wintry
weather in winter.

company Mr. W. V. Boltz on hiB
evangelistic tour, was present
and assisted greatly in the song service;
while the pastor made a few parting re
marks to the congregation. At the close
of the meeting the ladies served a fina
supper and a most enjoyable time was
ha.d.

f yesterday was society day in The
Dalles, and a number of very pleasant
social events took place, chief among
which, perhaps, was a farewell dancing
tiartv eiven in honor of MUs Etta Story,;
who leaves Saturday night for Union,!
where she will remain with her parents
Miss Etta has always been a genera
favorite in The Dalles, her sweet disposi
tion, lady-like manners, amiability and
solicitude for the welfare of not only bert
friends, but all with whom she comes in?
contact, making her one of the inosb
popular of all the Dalles young ladlesj
For this reason, perhaps, fin unusually
large crowd gathered at the K. of P. hall
last night to enjoy a few hours and wish
her Godspeed as, after making her home
iwith us for fourteen years, she now takes
up her residence elsewhere. K. of F.
hall is a cozy little one in which to hold
euch a partyXand everyone seemed to
enter into theNdancing in' a most en
thusiastic manner, music being furnished
by Messrs. Baldwin,Long and Bet
tingen. One of the novel and taking features
of the evening was axcake walk. This
being the first attempt at this now-popular
dance in this city, but three couples

"Mrs. S. L. Brooks entertained her
Sunday School class at her home on the
corner of Third and Union, yesterday
afternoon, in a manner which was at
once pleasing and instructive. Having
arranged a list of questions on Geogra
phical names the guests were required
to discover the answers. For instance,
one question was"A epotin the wocdajto
have knowledge of," the answer being
"Delaware." Another. "A male ; a box ;
to do wrong. Manchester." This past
time ' never fails to interest old and
young, and such adepts were these
young misses in guessing that every
name on the list was discovered by each.
After lunch had been served Martha
Baldwin in a very appropriate and
sweet manner, in behalf of the class, pre
sented their teacher with a very pretty
picture in pastel. Mrs. Brooks was quite
overcome, but answerea as oniy one can

at heart and appreciates their affection
for her. At the close of the afternoon
all joined in singing, with Emily Cros

Mrs. Brooks took a number of pictures
of her guests, which will be cherished
by each one the more as the years go by
