FORGOT INVITATIONS. Not all the details of a dinner party enter the social columns. This may 1 come a little late but it is so good we ! will have to give it now—omitting the names, however. A young Decatur lady was at home from college and wished to give a dinner for her friends from whom she had been separated several months. She had a fine 6 o’clock dinner prepared and was awaiting her guests, one of whom arrived on time, in full evening dress. The hour came and passed and no other guests came —the hostess meanwhile becoming much worried over the state of her dinner, which had reached the critical point when a few moments’ longer wait would mar the flavor. The one lone guest and the hostess were great ly concerned, when the guest finally said, in a spirit of fun—“ Maybe you forgot to send the rest of the invitations." And that was just what the hostess had done. She hurriedly telephoned them, and the other girls who; were in town hastened to the dinner. One, however, was in Fort Wayne, but was expected home on the 7 o'clock car, and the party hurriedly went to the car to meet her, and escort her to the party. Finally, after much scurrying 1 * around —everybody I was seated at the table —the one guest In evening dress, the others in whatever they happened to have on at the time the call was made But there was a jolly good time all the same, with much jollying of the hostess on accounty of her absent-mindedness.

BUFFALO BILL WILD WEST SHOW To Present Most Sensationsl Performance at Fort Wayne July Bth. The interesting announcement is made that Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Far East will exhibit as indicated above. A remarkable event Is announced in the leavetaking from public life of the old scout, "Buffalo Bill,” who,is making a last bow to each city he now visits — a valedictory. It is further stated that arrangements have been made with officials <sf the railroads to run reduced rate excursions on that date, thus affording residents of thig vicinity an opportunity to visit the exhibition at a minimum of expense. Two vast enterprises are now allied under one management. The union of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West with Pawnee Bill's Far East brings together two great factors in out-of-door entertainment. While, of course, the general style of the combined entertainment remains the same as when they were separate units in public amusement, there will be many features entirely new to this style of exhibition. The Far East contingent will be represented in the Oriental spectacle of great beauty and splendor; introducing many picturesque types which inhabit the romantic east. In this scene and as a particular feature, Rossi's Musical elephants, imported at an expense of 11,000 per week, will introduce their remarkable exhibition; playing various musical instruments, dancing, and in other manners evidencing their remarkable sagacity and wonderful training. In the Wild West section, Col. William F. Cody, the last of the great scouts, will appear in the saddle at evWy performance, leading his congress of rough riders in some remarkable exhibitions of expert horsemanship. The chief scenic feature will be the battle of Summit Springs, a reproduction of one of the deciding conflicts in Indian warfare; a battle in which Colonel Cody participated and in which he shot and killed Chief Tall Bull. In, A Holiday at ”T. E." Ranch will be pictured the pleasures and pastimes of the plainsman, cowboy sports and a dance upon the green. The contrast to this scene of peaceful revelry will be shown in a sudden attack by Indians. Many new features have been added to make Colonel Cody’s final visit one to be remembered as an honest tribute to a long career of honest effort. r I want to sell my automobile today.
