A pleasant surprise party was
given at the hospitable home ot Mr.
and Mrs. J. D. Smith, in this city
Saturday afternoon, in honor of the
57th birthday of Mrs. Smith. To carry
out the surprise, Mrs. Smith had been
invited to attend the party at the
home of Mrs. Emmons, and after giv
ing her time to meet her friends at
that gathering, a message was sent
informing her that she had visitors
at her own home and urging her to
return at once. Mrs. Smith immedi
ately left for home, wondering who
her visitors could be, and, upon enter
ing the house, found the parlor filled
with neighbors and friends. The
good lady was surprised beyond
measure, and all present were delight
ed with the success of their plans.
An enjoyable afternoon was spent,
and delicious refreshments prepared
by the guests were served. Mrs. Smith
received a beautiful cut glass set, as
a slight token of the esteem in which
she is held by her many friends. Her

If there has at any time been a
doubt in any mind as to the ultimate
success of the free library movement
in Dallas, that doubt was swept aside
at the library meeting and public re
ception held in the City Hall, Tuesday
evening. It required only a casual
glance at the titles of the new books
on the well-filled shelves and the long
tables piled high with the leading
magazines and periodicals to convince
any visitor that the free library has
come to stay and become one of Dallas'
popular institutions. To say that the
people were surprised and delighted
would be putting it mildly. Ex
pressions of pleasure and satisfaction
were heard on every hand, and con
gratulations were showered upon Mrs.
George T. Gerlinger, who originated
the movement for a free library in
Dallas.
The opening of the library was iu
the nature of a public receptiou, and
nearly two hundred people were in
attendance. Old and young alike
were present, and the social features
of the occasion made the evening one
of rare enjoyment to all. The Fire
men's Hall was beautifully decorated
with ferns, palms and cut flowers,
and refreshments were served to all
visitors.
Miss Cornelia Marvin, secretary of
the Oregon State Library Commission,
was present and explained the plan
of work outlined by the commission
under the new state law. Dallas is
the first town in Oregon to secure one
of the circulating libraries provided
by the commission. This library will
belong to the Dallas district ex
clusively, it having been purchased
by the people of this city, but it will be
contributed to the use of the com
mission in consideration of the benefit
of the balance of the libraries. Miss
Marvin ha3 a thorough knowledge of
library work, having served on the
public library board in Minnesota
for many years, and the list of books
selected by her for Dallas Is highly
satisfactory to all. She is a woman
of rare social qualities, and made
many friends during her short stay in
Dallas.
Too much cannot be said iu praise
of the library purchased by Mrs.
Gerlinger from the funds contributed
by the pooplo of this city. The books
cover a wide range of subjects, and
embrace over one hundred of the
late popular works. This library is
3trictly up-to-date in every respect,
and, taken with the 55 books furnished
by the state commission, will furnish
a choice lot of reading for the long
winter season. The money spent for
these books was raised in Dallas by
Mrs. Gerlinger, assisted by Mrs. Dr.
H. LToney and Mrs. T. A. Riggs.
Mrs. Gerlinger informs us that this
committee has another $100 with
which to buy new books as soon as
the same are needed. A complete list
of the books already purchased by
Mrs. Gerlinger will be published next
week. A list of the books furnished
by the commission is given below.
