short, chocolate brown lace gloves.
Albert Friesen gave his sister
in marriage Eor her wedding she
chose a white wool frock fashion
ed with cap sleeves and drop
waistline bordered with scallops
trimmed in seed pearls. Her only
ornament was a string of pearls
and she wore long, white lace
clove. She carried a white B
ble marked with a white orchid
and wore a coronet of seed pearls
and orange blossoms in her hair.
Miss Ruby Friesen was her sis

but ... If we didn't know it already, we
would be convinced by now, that the legis
lative horde is now upon us. We know, be
cause the old familiar orange crate food
coolers have made their biennial appear
ance on the windowsills of the Marion hotel.
It is rumored that ropes are slung out after
dark, and left to dangle comfortably from the
windows through the night just in case.
Down a peg We were disappointed
in Skeezix Wallet this week when he
couldn't find the fuse box to insert a new
fuse when the lights in his house burned
out. Even an ordinary husband is supposed
to know the location of the fuse box and
Skeezix is a fixit man.
"And quietly steal away" . . . Have you
noticed that the state's famous thousand dol
lar trees the ones they moved some yeara
ago with so much ado have been silently
dene away with? And no fanfare.
Highly educated . . . Here's the story of
the week. A friend of ours was talking with
a young woman, and the conversation
turned to Thor. "Thor was the god of war,
you know" said my friend. Sarcastically
came the answer, "Thank ycu so much for
telling me Eleanor but what do you think
I studied Shakespeare for?"
Weather report . . . Last Sunday I had
a show of my own. The squirrels were so
excited about the fall ot snow. They raced
up and down the trees, clung to the screen
over the window, looked in at ms and
scolded and scolded. I don't know whether
they were calling attention to the snow or
balming me for it . . . Maxine Buren
Doris Friesen. Miss Ann Schroe
der, Mrs. Gordon Beecroft, Miss
Ida Mae Ellis, Mrs. Raleigh Rael
and Miss Esther Riedesel. In the
gift room were Mrs. David Pfau
and Mrs. Joseph Pfau. Mrs. Thom
as Pfau played piano selections
during the reception.
The couple left for southern
California and San Diego on their
honeymoon. For traveling the
bride wore an aqua suit with grey
stripe and grey top coat with black
accessories. On their return to
Oregon in a month the newlyweds
will be at home in Cloverdale
where he is in business with his
father in the Cloverdale Cheese
Factory.
