FTER the excitement preva lent with brides' roses, satin ribbons and old Bhoes, of last week, the social affairs this week have been compartively few. The Rose Carnival in Portland took away a good many of the society folk, some going down for a few days only, some for the entire week. With commencement festivities forgotten, excepting, of course, a few weddings scheduled for June, the social affairs will be dull for the rest of the sum mer. Shower For Miss Halt. The principal event of the past week was the miscellaneous shower complimentary to Miss Maude Hart, who will become the bride of Walter Irvine Ford June 26. Misses Nora Robertson, Mina Hughes and Effa Brown were hostesses and the affair was given at the home of Miss Rob ertson on Monday, June 17. Strings of hearts were hung about the rooms and tiny candy duplicates were hidden. The guests were obliged to hunt for them, and Mrs. N. Griffith won the favor. During the evening a huge basket was hung in a conspicuous place and each of the guests sent a wireless tel egram to the bride, dropping them into the basket as they passed. The reading of the messages by Miss Hart caused a great deal of merriment, most of them containing good advice in humorous form. The honor guest was the recipient of many handsome as well as useful presents, among which were several very beautifful pieces of linen and haviland. Misses Effa Brown and Mina Hughes assisted Miss Robertson in serving. The invited guests were: Mesdnmes N. Griffith. J. H. Hart. G. L. Hawkins, W. Ross Ellis, W. H. F. Manston, Will Greenwood, W. L. Soehren, Herbert Dunkelberger, D. M. Metzger, W. Dodge Bicknell; Misses Alice Grant, Effa Brown, Flora Mc- Callon, Roberta McCallon, Anna Staf rln, Edna Morrison, Alta Savage, Nola Coad, Nada Scott, Sadie Lynn, Mar- lam Hart, Nina Hughes.

WOULD BUILD NEW LIBRARY ON NEW SITE (Continued from Page One) its surroundings would not add to its attractiveness. Face Financial Problem. Those who have been Instrumental in urging the selection of a new site are confronted with the shortage t money available for such purpose and find that some plan must be de vised to meet the deficiency. About the only way in which this could ba done, they say. is by popular sub scription. Several business men and property owners, who have been ap proached on the plan have expressed themselves as unqualifiedly opposed to the city hall site, and all urge thtit that some other should be found, at the same time agreeing to do their share In meeting the xpnse. Other sites have been suggested, all of which are preferable to th. first proposed location, but the Mill street corner Is much more popular than any of the others, althouch it Is admitted that the first cost for the proprtv Itself will be much greater.
