Every day the postman brought thick whit en velopes, some big and square, others so tittle that they slipped through his fingers and he pick ed them up -grumbling. Teas, dances, bridge parties. They' wero-invited to ail of the big affairs, but few of th small. exclusive functions.

Craig or Helen Hetfinger tell about something from which she had been left out. But it didn't matter much now. Nothing mat tered.

Her brief interest in so ciety had flared and died, since she never saw Mat Tully any more. Helen Hefflnger was al ways talking about him ... did she really seo him? Louise wond ered. Helen was always imagin ing something. Wen, let her . . . Lou prided herself on seeing things as they really were. Men didnt like her rery well, she wouldn't force herself. She drifted into a little clique of girls older than herself. Intel ligent, plain looking girls who had no men friends. They went to concerts in the evenings, and met in tho afternoons to discuss L'Art Moderne and tho new poe try. "I think, dear, that you ahould include gentlemen in the evening parties." mama had suggested. And Louise had laughed and said harshly, "Humph! . A won derful chance. Do you think if w had men to take us out we'd j be going to concerts TOGETHER?" BITS for BREAKFAST -By B, J. HENDRICKS Salem's greatest fire: Tho newspapers spoke ot tho burning of tho Larmer ware house and Its contents on Decem ber as tho most disastrous fire la tho history of Salem; loss something around 1100,000. Perhaps ao. In total loss of property. But thw greatest fire Salem over had, in point of tho ability of the city to stand such a disaster, was tho one which de stroyed tho plant of the Willam ette Woolen Manufacturing com pany. Bancroft's Oregon History says that fire was In May. 187 s. Alfred F. Lomax in tho -Oregon Historical Quarterly gave th data as May 2. 187 5. The Bits man thinks it was on May S. 1870. R. P. Boise agrees . with tho Bits man's date. So does George H. Hlmes. the -historian. V e Tho two fires wero at a his toric spot. The old woolen mill. the first one to manufacture cloth In commercial volume on the whole Pacific coast; , was built on .the site of tho first building erected in what Is now Salem, and the Larmer ware house was on th same spot. "a The first building erected In what became Salem, as most readers of this column know. was the ono that housed under the same roof the mission mills; th saw mill and grist mill, in which was Installed tho ma chinery brought in . 18 40 on the Lausanne. Tho readers ot . this column know, also, that tho first dwelling In what became Salem was a few rods northeast of the mission mills, now SCO Broad way. It was tho Jason Lee house. serving as home, headquarters, hospital, store and what not; and afterwards was tho territorial treasury. "a The Willamette Woolen Man ufacturing company had an In teresting history. A member of the Shaw family with the Immi gration of 1844 drove If aheep to Oregon, which ho Intended to kill for mutton by tho way; find ing that they traveled aa well as other stock, and buffalo being plenty, ho spared them. , a. Joseph Watt wss with tho 1841 Immigration. He went back In 1841 to bring out from .Missouri a band of aheep and some card ing machinery for manufactur ing wool. Soon after he was back with his sheep and carding ma chinery the discovery of gold in California took nearly all the men in Oregon to tho mines. Mr. Watt and a man named Barber put up tho carding macMiery in 18S6 in Polk county,' and there was started In 1854 another factory ot the kind in Linn county, the latter destroyed by fire in 1 Si 2. Mr. Wstt hat dan some carding on his farm In Yamhill county before that,. a "a But Mr. Watt did not giro up the Idea of establishing a manu facturing plant to provide a mar ket for tho annually increasing quantity of wool following tho bringing of tho first small bands of sheep. Joseph Wstt (generally called Joe) was tho prim mover in tho building of the woolen mill at Salem. Tho Willamette Wool en Manufacturing company was organised in 185. Oeorge H. WllUams was tho president ot the company; Alfred Stanton vice president, Joseph O. Wilson secretary, and J. D. Boon treas urer. Watt. Holm an. William H. Rector, L. F. G rover. Daniel Waldo and E. M. Barn urn wero tho directors. - All historic aames. a "a H. Reynolds of Salem, later of WaUa Walla, was one of the old time boosters of the capital city who helped In planning tho enterprise, Th capital of tho company waa placed at 82S.000; 100 Shares, 8ZS0 each. Dan Wal do and Mr. Watt wore tho largest (Continued on page I) That frightened mama.- Frigh tened her terribly. Lou talking like an old maid and Nancy oven Nancy waa getting too hard to please. Spencer Fuller. Fred Galan, even Frank Haworth, Gil Neat's cousin, Nancy . treated all alike. Flirted and seemed to be having a gorgeous time while she .was with them, and declar ed her head ached and they bor ed her to tears as soon as they had turned their backs. "Girls can't bo TOO critical these days," mama said reprov ingly, feeling that Nancy was go ing a bit too far. Nancy had burst out laughing then and stuttered. "That's a good one!" and broke down and wept. Poor Nellie Hollenbeck. Poor mother hen who hatched two ducks. e On a night in September when the red harvest - moon gilded the black river, and ten thousand stars twinkled In a cloudless sky May Bell Craig announced her engagement to Gilbert Neal, Jr. The Hollenbeck girls had been formally invited to the small dinner that preceded tho much-talked-of Venetian Carnival that was- to mark the end of tho sea son at th Craig's Russian River place. - "Of course they're not quite !n society," Mrs. Craig mourned, going over th list with May Belle, "but you girls have been together so much, and poor Kit ty is. my oldest friend . . . I suppose well have to have them. With Gilbert Neat almost la th family now, and tho Important Neals coming to dinner, Cora Craig felt - she couldn't be too careful. Lou and Nancy knew that the engagement was going to bo an nounced as soon as they saw the best lace tablecloth and silver from the Pacific Avenue house had been moved to Cragfield for tho occasion. And after the oth ers had seen little old Mr. Neal, red-faced and bored, take his place at Mrs. Craig's side, and big Mrs. Neal. blowsy and care less and covered with jewelry, at Mr. Craig's side, they knew It, too. May Belle, a little awed by the great Neals. was unnaturally quiet until after the first cock tail. Then she grinned, tossed her head, and settled down to enjoy herself. Mr. Craig, perspiring freely, stood 1 up at a signal from his wife. Lifting his glass, and sil ently cursing that he. whose af ter dinner opeehes were really a feature of the Lions CI ib ban quets, should be so nervous, he stammered: "I propose thst we drink to tho health-ot May Bella and th young man sho has decided to add permanently to our family, Gilbert Neal." Tho Honenbeck girl exchang ed glances. So May Belle had got him at last. (To bo continued) ...
