draped from the chandeliers to the table,
and a triangular garland lying on the
table. The houBe was darkened and the

One of the prettiest and most impres
sive wedding ceremonies was that which
united the lives of Miss Frances Georgi
ana Case and Mr. Willitts Sawyer on
Wednesday evening at the First Congre
gational church. Both are university
graduates and members of the Delta
Gamma and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternities, so it was fitting that the
solemn words should be pronounced by
Chancellor FacLean. At half past
seven to the strains of the wedding
march the bridal procession entered the
church. Miss Stella Rice presided at
the organ. The bride wore an elegant
white satin princess gown trimmed with
real lace which had been worn by her
grandmother and mother at their wed
dings. She carried a large bunch of
bride's roses the Bower of the Delta
Gamma fraternity. Miss Nelia Cochran,
in a gown of yellow taffetas trimmed
with Venetian lace, carrying a bunch of
yellow and white marguerites, was a
distinguished maid of honor. The bride's
maids wore gowns of dainty white
trimmed with pink or blue tulle collars
and sashes. Miss Helen Harwood came
first and wore white and blue; Miss
Blanche Garten followed, in pink; Mies
Edna Polk in blue, and Miss Clara Wat
kins in pink. The bridesmaids carried
sweet peas. The best man was Mr.
Everett Sawyer, a brother of the groom.
.The ushers were Messrs. Edgar Morrill,
Frank Hadley, Paul Case and Roy Saw
yer Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was given at the home of tbe
bride's parents. The house was pro
fusely decorated with flowers. The
parlor was in gresn and white, the din
ing room, where the bride's maids
served, was done in pink, and the punch
room, where Miss Mabel Case of Hia
watha, Kas., presided, was done in scar
let and cream. The bridal couple re
ceived the most hearty congratulations
of their friends. Many handsome pres
ents were received. The gift of the
groom to the bride was a fraternity pie
set in diamonds. At '10:35 the bridal
couple left for the east, where they will
make an extended trip before going to
Schenectady, N. T., their future home
The members of the two fraternities
were at the train to see that Mr. and
Mrs. Sawyer were given the proper at
tention and to speak the last farewells.
"Don't talk shop" in society. This
rule applies to other people's business as
well as yours. In fact you are more ex
cusable for introducing your own busi
ness than that which occupies the at
tention of the lady or gentleman you are
convening with. The function of so
ciety is diversion. It is partly be
cause this law of exclusion of th serious
and utilitarian from the meeting of
friends is so frequently broken by those
who wish to grind an axe at society's
expense, that those who wish to forget
tbe serious business of life prefer to
amuse themselves with a book or at the
theatre. Newspaper people are especially
bored when those whom they meet under
a friend's roof forget one of the first
rules of society, "Don't talk shop."
Mrs. W. O. Thomas gave an afternoon
card party last Friday for her friend
Mrs.Stoney of London. Last Friday
being the day when the flag was pre
sented to the soldiers Mrs. ThomaB'
home was decorated with rtd, white and
blue, in broad stripes at the windows in
the colors of the chandelier, in the little
flag favors which were given each guest,
and in the ice cream. Tiny flags of the
countries of the world were displayed in
the library and a large Union Jack in
recognition of Mr. Thomas and Mr.
Stoney's country hung in the dining
room. Red and white carnations and
red roses with a dark blue flower and
palms were the floral decorations. The
presence of Mrs. Newman was an espe
cial charm of the afternoon. The guests
played euchre selecting their partners
by the color which was tied on the staff
of the little flags. The first prize, an
ornamental cup and saucer, was won
by Mrs. Buckstaff, the lone hand prize,
a Venetian nail tile by Mrs. Rudy and
the consolation prize, a cut glass smell
ing salts bottle, by Mrs. Sterns. Miss

A private letter from Honolulu re
ports: President Dole of Hawaii, is far
and away the most unpopular man in
the Kanaka republic today. This is the
outcome of his recent trip to Washing
ton. When the Hawaiians decided that
the weal of their country demanded the
tour they told the president to "do the
elegant" and charge it to their account.
They anticipated tbe outlay of perhaps
82,000. Imagine their surprise when
the preeident unblushingly presented an
expense account of 87,000, a very large
portion of which came under the vague
head: "Incidentals." They might have
born this had the president not added to
it the 8500 given by him to the Maine
relief fund. His people praised un
stintedly his generosity when he made
the contribution and all these eulogiums
he permitted to go unchallenged. His
attempt to make the Hawaiians stand
this item of his self-advertising has
awakened a bitterness not known among
them since the overthrow of tbe mon
archy. The men who heretofore were
the staunchest supporters of the Dole
administration are withdrawing in dis
gust, while the anti-administrationists
not only insist that he pay for his glory
out of his own pocket, but are asking
that his "incidentals" be itemized, that
they may know where their 87,000 went.
Mr. Dole is wishing that he had stayed
at home. Ton Topics.
