PAGE TWO I HE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1919r 1 W IF a littl old lady with white hair and a brown cape and blackthorn cans wore to give you three wishes tonight, it dollars to doughnuts the very first one would be that you were Cherries, or the wife or sister or "first beat" friend of a Cherrkin. Be atue if you aren't a Cherrian or the wife or obiter or "first beet" friend of a Uhorrian you might just as well Iit on your checkered apron or dark tlue overalls, as the case may be, and ait among the cinders Friday night. Heretofore it) reklly ,han,'t made eueh an awful lot of difference. Be cause no matter if you were a Cher riaa'a onliest sister, or the one whom lie had sworn to have and to hold and to honor and obey until death do you part, all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't have got you into a Cherrian banquet hall Men are funny that way. They think it is absolutely essential that they have periodical gatherings from which alt daughters of Eve are carefully ex cluded. Goodness knows what enjoy ment they can find in an assembly of that kind; seems to me that it would Jh fearfully boresome, doesn't H to youf nevertheless they send each oth er engraved invitations, monopolize the beat dining room in the city, buy out the nearest cigar store and spend email fortune on decorations when the truth of the matter is that unless w ia of the rare C. B. Olancey spe cie he doesn't even notice if the ta ils cloth i on straight. And they eat and make merry and wax witty over the coffee and sentimental over the cigars and go home whon the small star Hecke4 hours are giving place to the lender dawn-streaked ones and begin t wait for the next occasion. Eccen tricity thy name is man! . But its different now. The affair ive promise of being p, veritiable "dream of fair women." It gives promise of being more than that. There re vagua whispers and suspicious rumors abroad of surprises that will be given to the merry makers, and of the amusement that will be afforded them. Ann Ol the perfumes and the gowns . and the kittle high slippers! O the hap py laughter and the gay repartee! O the flow em that will wither on the tSuwrdau banquet table! O wetlt sitting among the cinders in a checkered apron one still can dream of marble halls! - Red, whito and bluu decorations, set off prettily by a wealth - of Oregon flrape and early violets formed the set ting for a delightful birthday dinner (given yesterday by Mrs. Al H. Btclner at her home on the Wallace road, in Jionor of her husband and her daugh ter, Margaret. Circling the table ww Mr. and Mrs. 8. P. Kimball, Mr. and Mrs. James Imlah, Mr. and Mrs. W. O.

Everyone will .be there, at the military boll to be given at the armory tonight by Com pany M. Select music has been secur ed and a great deal of trouble has been taken to make the affair a not1 able one In tho annals of the dancing circles of Salem. The Cherrians mag nanimously prstponcd their ball this week In ordw to give Company M tho right of way and it is hoped that the public will show their appreciation, of 1 both these organizations by attend ing the ball Tonight. The first division ot Oregon troops has eome homo. A great many 8nlom people went to Portland last Monday to greet the 05th coast artillery on its roturn from Trance. They all have the same talo to toll when questioned. .No, the boys aren't sorry they went but thoy're ohl so glad tnat its over. Yes, La Belle France Is a queen among countries but they know of one that surpasses her. And the trip was won durful and the whole experience a glorious adventure but oh boy! wasn't it good to feel American soil beneath one's feet again and see American skies above one's head! And so the story runs, with some slight variations now and then, but the same refrain through it all. Tho question is, who Is the happier over the return those who have ceme back with a wealth of experience and the "burden of a duty, well done, or those that they loft behind to- wait for themt I am now showing a complete new stock of Millinery at Fullerton's shop, 415 State Street Having bought the Millinery Department of Fuller tons, I have remodeled and re-arranged same, and invite the Ladies of Salem and vicinity to call and get acquainted IVfe D. Larson At Fullerton's, ROBISO THE mild Oregon winter has been kind to little bulb plants that border the walks of the great grey building at the end of State street It is, I believe, a very efficient and comfortable building, as such places are judged, but for all that, God knows it is bleak enough. Last night, how ever, and the night before, La the large auditorium crowded with an eager and appreciative audience, one forgot the high iron fence and tali sentry towers and remembered only that the men who were putting on the two-act comedy,' "A Midnight Ca beret" were men of -very human cali ber with faith and hopes and loves, no doubt differing no whit from our own. There was positive genius die-, playd throughout the entire perform ance. To waste words trying to com ment on the remarkable ability of Fred Taylor, the author of the plot and leading character of the act, would be utter foolishness. Everyone present recognized a professional, and no mean one at that, before the comedy had progressed any length. Pomeroy and Graham with their clever team work, ad Happy Cordon in the nonsensical role of "Cootie Clarence," were "screams." A pathetic note was pro duced in the tableau "Just Break the News to Mother," gently emphasized by tho wonderful voices of those tak ing part. All through the second act an undrcurrent of sadness dis cernible, in spite of the irrepressible outbursts of the comedians, due per haps to the novel interpretation, by Jan DuMonto of "A Fool there Was," and "E is original toast, "Is the Debt Paidf" to those former oscupants numbering a hundred odd, who had ral lied to the colors at the. outbreak of the war. It is pretty safe to state that no one who was preeiit,will ever think of Kipling without remembering Jan DuMonte. Faith, we have learned, is the es sence of things to ibo hoped for. Let us trust, then, that some day, having kept their faith in the great outer world, those who laughed at us and sang for us over the footlights in the great grey Ibuilding last night, may come at last to the foot of the rainbow With tho prettily appointed table a perfect symphony in white and yel low, Mrs. Curtis Cross entertained a coterie of friends at a wedding anni versary dinner last evening at her home on north Fourteenth street.

During the evening Mrs. Hofer de lighted the guests with a vocal solo, "Because." Mrs. J. Frank Dunlap entertained, a coterie of friends last Sunday at an informal dinner party in honor of her husband's birthday. A pink eolor scheme was carried out in the table appointment. Covers wore laid for eight guests. Thore has been so much said about the entertainment that the Patriotic league will present to the pubKs Tues day evening that there is scarcely any ttiing left to relate. However, concern ing those who have so generously of fered thdir services the authors of the production can not say enough. Mr. Bligh, who hag allowed them the us of the opera house, Mr. Hamilton, who is furnishing the light; Mr. Stiff, who has donated the piano and Mr. Marvin 415 State Street who is giving his services in selling tickets to all these tho league is deeply grateful.
