BRILLIANT 8QCIAL EVENT.
Lanre Number or Ouenti Hutu Lined
mttho Umntllla Homo I.ait Night,
In years gone by tho Umatilla House
has boon the scene of many happy social
occasions and many residents can look
back on evening after evening epent
joyously within its walls It remained
however, for the closing week of the
year 1899 to witnessthe most brilliant
of all Eoclal functions within its history,
when at the invitation of Mrs. J. S. Fish
and Mrs. It. BSinnott. about 130 of
their friends enioved their bosoitalitv in
the happiest manner last night.
A more ideal arrangement of the
rooms could not be Imagined. Tho
dining room had been transformed Into
a beautiful garden, in one corner of
which sat tho orchestra on a platform
surrounded by evergreen trees, from the
tops of which seemed to float tho sweet
est of music. From the center pillars
and about the walls evergreens were
festooned, and, as if to serve as a faiten
ing, were large bow-knots of red ribbor.
An immense bunch tf mistletoe hung
from tho ceiling at the center of the
room and largo palms were in evidence.
In passing from the daiiemg hall into
the refreshment rooniVas a' veritable
grotto, surrounded by evergreen trees.
Hero lemonade was Ecrved from a
large bowl of natural ice. A garden
walk of rustic beauty led into the re
freshment room, which was aleo deco
rated in evergreen and red bunting, and
while the guests regaled themselves
music wob constantly enjoyed, being
furnished by a large music bos in the
room.
Addinc much to thcartistic surround
ings was the beautyof the ladies, who
were cfad in hapdsomo gowns made es
pecially for the occasion, and of unusual
taBte. NorXvould we forget tho gentle
men, whq' with scarcely an exception,
made bo striking an appearance in full
diess suits.
Dainty programs had been provided
and as most of the guests had well filled
lists, dancing was kept up continually
by the majority of the participants in
the festivities.
And thus the event which had so
long been looked forward to, surpassed
tho expectations of those who were af
forded such a delightful evening through
tho kindness of their hostessed, assisted
by Messers. J. S. Fish, N.J. Sinnott
and K. B. Sinnott as hosts.

So far as known, the fly serves no use

mischief. One of the moit serious tvils
resulting from their existence is; the

human food. A fly alights on infecUd
substances and then departs, carrying
scores of bacilli on its feet. An ordinary
housefly will lay 120 eggs during its
