PLATTSMOUTH, : s : : : : : :
NEBRASKA
This morning Mrs. W. S. Leete and
Madame Leete entertained in a most
charming manner at a pre-nuptia
bi'eakfast in honor of Miss Janet
Clement, one of the June brides. The
breakfast was given for Miss Clem
ent, the members of her bridal party
and the St. Luke's choir, and was one
filled with much pleasure to the mem
bers of the party. The tables were
arranged in the dining and living
rooms and decorated most artistically
in a color scheme of yellow and white,
yellow sweet clover blooms and white
daisies forming the floral decorations,
and in the bouquets tiny yellow' birds
made a very pleasing touch to the
general decorative scheme. The chair
of the bride at the head of the table
was decorated in a very pretty man
ner with white syranga and yellow
ribbon. At each place were tiny
bouquets of white syranga as well as
the favors, which were very much en
joyed as each guest discovered the
treasures concealed in them. The
place cards were of white with yellow
daisies as decorations, which added to
the general beauty of the tables. The
breakfast was served in four courses,
Mrs. Leete being assisted in serving
by Mrs. J. A. Donelan, Miss Dora
Fricke and Miss Verna Leonard, while
little Miss Ursula Herold met the
guests at the door on their arrival.
At the place of the bride were num
bered cards which contained a rhyme
and on following out the directions on
the card the bride-to-be found a num
ber of very handsome gifts from
Father Leete and family. The last
course of the breakfast was one thor
oughly enjoyed as on each plate were
tiny yellow candles and marshmal
lows and each guest was given the
privilege of toasting them in the
flame of the candles, providing much
enjoyment and pleasure.
Following' the breakfast, at 11
o'clock, the ladies spent the afternoon
in the making of dainty articles of
needlework which, ,4when completed,
were presented to the guest of honor
as remembrances of the happy event.
There were covers laid for twenty at
the breakfast, and the occasion will
long be remembered as one of the
most delightful of the pre-nuptial
affairs of the season by those who
were in attendance.

"There was a sound of revelry" by
day upon the lawn of Mrs. William
Baird on the afternoon of June 9, and
hungry passers-by looked with long
ing eyes upon the well-filled tables
and the happy throng of ladies, who
belong to Chapter F, Plattsmmouth
P. E. O. The occasion was the cul
mination of the year's work, and the
result of a compact that the half with
the best yearly attendance should be
entertained by the other half. Ac
cordingly a business session was
called at the home of Mrs.. E. II.
Wescott at the usual hour for meet
ing. After a short session and ad
journment, the chapter was invited
to the home of Mrs. C. C. Wescott for
refreshments. Disappointment was
registered on every face when a paper
plate containing a cracker and a glass
of water was placed before each
guest. However, an original song
(sung to the tune of "Beulah Land")
requested more as follows:
"We've waited long for this great day,
When this your debt you'll have to
pay;
Our faithfulness you can't deny,
So do your best without a sigh.
We'd like some salad and some meat,
And everything else that's good to
eat;
Coffee and cake and ice cream, too,
If that's the best thing that you can
do.
So give us to eat, pray give us to eat
Our appetites they can't be beat."
This so touched the hearts of the
servers that disappointment changed
to joy when they were informed that
there was a "progressive" party and
a program which would be given at
Mrs. William Baird's. Thither all re
paired, and oh my! the appebite
created by the crackers and water
was most fully appeased by all the
good things one could desire at a
picnic. The promised program con
sisted of a song composed by the
servers and sung to the tune of "I
Want to Be an Agel," in which they
assured the lucky one in the follow
ing classic (?) chorus:
"Right here we stand so mournful,
With a tear-drop in each eye;
Each time we'll be there next year,
We'll be. there, or we'll die."
Petrograd, June 11. In the fight
ing yesterday on the front of Galicia
and Volhynia, says the official state
ment issued here today, the Russians
took 409 officers and 35,0U0 men
They also captured thirty guns and
enormous quantity of booty. The
statement adds that the army of Gen
eral Teehitskyn, alone, operating in
the direction of Czernowitz, Bukowi
na, overwhelmed the Auslro-IIungar
ians and took 18,000 prisoners.
Since the present Russian offensive
was started, the empt-iors' troops
have taken about 118,000 prisoners.
The text of the official statement
follows:
"Our offensive on Volhynia, Galicia
T -l ? 1 f I
anu iiUKOwina oouuneu iresn sue
cesses yesterday. The enemy's armies
continue to suffer enormous losses in
prisoners alone.
"The fierce attacks of our troops
are throwing into our hands thousands
upon thousands of prisoners and bocTty
of all kinds, the exact estimation of
which is as yet impossible.
"For instance, in a single sector on
the enemy's front we captured twenty-one
searchlights, twenty-nine field
kitchens, forty-seven trains of barbed
wire, 1,000 concrete planks, 7,000,000
cubes of concrete, 10,0u0 pounds of
coal, enormous depots of ammunitions
and large quantities of other material.
"In another sector we captured
30,000 rifle cartridges, ."00 boxes of
machine gun cartridges, 1200 boxes of
hand grenades, 1,000 rifles, four ma
chine guns, two range finders and a
Norten portable pump for the extrac
tion of drinking water.
"The capture of such enormous war
materials prepared by the enemy for
various operations affords proof of
how opportune was our coup.
"During yesterday's fighting we
took as prisoners one general, 40'J
officers and 35,100 soldiers. We also
captured thirty guns, thirteen ma
chine guns and five bomb throwers.
This makes the total trophies in the
recent operations one general, 1,(541)
officers and more than 10,00l) sol
diers, and 121 guns, 180 machine guns
and fifty-eight bomb throwers."
