Smith, parents of the aroom. constituted the storm center of this extraordinary shower. About 8:30 p. m. the young couple were treacherously enticed to leave the shiHcr and warmth of their own cozy home, and crossing the paternal thrcshhold found themselves in the midst of a cloud-bank of laughing neighbors and friends who proceeded to shower them with a great variety of articles essential to good house keeping, ranging from a table and copper boiler to dainty china and sil verware. Mrs. Rhoda Lynn was mistress of ceremonies and in a brief address showered words of wisdom in the ears of the bachelors present as she prais ed the step which Mr. Smith had tak en in providing himself with n wife, and pointed out- to them the fact tlir-t the magic touch of a woman's hand is one of the chief essentials iu the creation of a home. The patter of this second shower had no sooner censed than an "Ore gon mist," consisting of ice cream served on quartered cantaloupes with cake, drifted nil through the house and settled upon beautifully flowered napkins spread upon the laps of the guests. Webfooters are partial to mist, they simply dote on it. All present were of the aforesaid tribe and the mist was quickly dissolved as the result of the warm welcome :l mi.. .i Makes New School District. ? : l,,L'v ' .
