Gaines will present at the Majestic theater. Wayne. Sunday matinee and night, John Kjauis and Leil Mclntyre as joint stars in ttie new atmospheric musical play, “The Girl of My Dreams.” "The Girl” seems still indispensable in the titles of these works. The book is the joint work of Wilbur N. Nesbit, a Chicago newspa-1 per writer, and Otto Haiterbach. Karl Hoschna, the composer of “Three Twins,” “Bright Eyes,” "Madame Sherry” and "Doctor De Luxe, is re-, sponsible for the music. The story tells the difficulties of the I leader of a bachelor’s club in winning i the hand and heart of the lady of his I desire in the person of a little Quaker I girl with “hazel eyes,” from the country. The comedy situations of the piece are extremely' farcial and the oc-1 casion of much merriment, and through a network of curious misunderstandings that run through the piece the young man has many hardships to overcome and much explain- j ing to do before he finally is permit- ' ted to claim the little Quaker girl for j his bride. In the principal roles are > Leila Mclntyre as "Luc*-.” the Quaker maiden, and John Hyams, as Hany I Switton, planter of wild oats. Miss' Mclntyre is a demure, sweet, unspoiled comedienne whose lack of ostentatious gallery play is refreshing. She sings effectively and her dancing is an art of Gene’s resource. John Hyams gets much humor out of the repentant bachelor, Mr. Gaites has surrounded the costars with an excellent company of principals a-nd a big beauty chorus. Alice Hills, Carrie Bowman, Harold Forbes, Henrietta Lee, Wm. G. Riccardi, Irving Brooks and Ray L. Royce are in the cast. Kar' Hoschna. the musical composer of the hour, has turned out a score of song hits just as jingley and tinglcy as in his “Three Twins” and “Madame Sherry.” They are: "I'm Ready to Quit and be Good," "The Girl Who Wouldn t Spoon,” "Quaker Talk,” "The Letter You Shouldn’t Have Sent.” "Belles of the Tally-Ho Boarding School,” “The Story of a Marionette.’ "Dear Little Games of Guessing," “O-o-h" I Maybe its a Robber). "The Girl of My Dreams.” and “Doctor Tinker.” The two acts arc goigeously mounted and the costuming of the chorus, together with the various illustrative numbers, adds a delightful flavor to a splendid entertainment. Decatur theater goers can go to Ft. Wayne Sunday and see this big musical show at Majestic special Sunday matinee prices, and be back home in time for their evening dinner. — BARGaN—Beautiful br>r--a, 12% acres, 14 mile east of Kokomo, on Jefferson pike.

But the woman sternly set to do a man's business, believing it better than the woman's, too often views life as made up of business. She throw's her whole nature to the task. Her work is her child. She gives it the same exclusive, passionate attention. She is as fiercely jealous of interference in it as she would be if it were a , child. She resents suggestions and change. It is hers, a personal ( ; thing to which she clings as if it were a living being. That attitude ' is the chief reason why working I with w omen in the development of great undertakings is as difficult 1 as co-operating with them in the j rearing of a family. It is also a ; reason why they rarely rise to the j first rank. They cannot get away' . . i from their undertakings sufficient- ; ly to see the big truths and movements which are always impersonal".—lda Tarbell. Providing no unlooked for circumstances arise to cause postponement again, the Orient club will give its first , anniversary banquet at the Murray hotel next Wednesday evening The husbands of the club members will be ' guests. The Afternoon club will be enter tained next Tuesday evening instead , ot afternoon, as usual, Mrs John Gerard being hostess. , The Wedding of Albert Laugehman and Miss Elizabeth Siting will be sol- ’ I ernnized Wednesday morning at the i St. Mary’s Catholic church. A big deception will be given at the home of’ the bride's mother, Mrs Cornelius 1 Eiting, followed by a dance in the evening at the K. of C. hall. Ida Gunsett, Luella Bultemeier and Marie Boese of the Little Quilters of the Zion's Lutheran church, met with Miss Martha Heckman Friday after- ' noon and sewed, until the refreshment hour, when the hostess had a delicious 1 treat for the little busy bees. Miss t Luella Bultemeier will have the pleasure. of their company at her home in j two weeks , Cordiality and good cheer reigned supreme at the reception Friday evening at the Mrs. Minnie Daniels home ■on Sixth street, given by the En- | ileavor society of the Christian church, for the fifty-one new members who united with the church during the rc cent revival services. To promote the ' feeling of good fellowship at once, each guest on entering the home, was given ; a complete list of the names of the j members of t>e church. These were I to be looked up during the evening, and greeted ir. a kindly way, thus bringing about the acquaintance of those who heretofore had not been known to each other. When one was greeted, his name was to be marked on the list. The penalty of not speaking to all, was the forfeiture of the lefreshments served later in the evening. Music and a series of games and other social diversions made the evening a delightful one. The members of the two seventh grades of the city schools, accompanied by Miss Juanita Boch. of the high school, chartered a bob sled Friday evening and left at 7 o’clock for the home of their teacher, E. S. Christen, north of Monmouth. The cheery hospitality of the large country home, gave them cordial greeting, and there were games, contests and a taffy pull-

ing, together with music to while away the hours. In a contest to see who J could pin on the pig's tail, Miss Juanita ! Boch was the most nearly successful ; and got two plates of taffy, instead of ' one, but kindly shared up with the one who got the booby prize—the prize be- j ing more conspicuous by its absence — . namely no plate of taffy. — Mabel Harb was the victim of a pleasant birthday surprise given by Grace Butler, Florence Cow’an, Fay Hammel. Edna Steele, Jennie Long, | Bob Meibers, Felix Holthouse, Forest Vail, Ralph Howard. Games and cards, ! with music, were entertaining features. | The Elks are planning ti give a char-1 ity ball and have placed arrangements ; for same in the hands of the social ' committee. As soon as the place has been secured for holding tbo affair, the date will be announced, which will probably be the first of the week. The 1 proceeds will be used for the charity - I for which the order is noted. The Misses Bertha Johns and Venn parent entertained the G. W. C. girls Friday evening at the Johns home in joint celebration of their birthday an- j niversaries. There were games and a ! luncheon, and in the conundrum contests, prizes were w on by Bertha Kinney and Rose Colchin. The evening is reported as being a most happy one, and there were many showers of good wishes for the celebrants Miss Veiuia Smith entertained the Needlecraft club Friday evening in the usual pleasant way. It is thought no more sessions will be held until after the various revivals have closed. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Lehne gave a supper party last evening in compliment to Mrs. Lehne's cousin, Carl Heilman, a studs’" at the Ohio State University, at Columbus. Ohio. The supper was followed by cards. Guests were Glen Falk, Vane Weaver, Avon Burke, Jesse Helm.

Miss Mayer was the recipient of many | gift", evidence of the esteem in which she is held. o ALMOST LOST HIS LIFE. S. A. Stid of Mason. Mich., will never forget his terrible exposure to a merciless storm. “It gave me a dreadful cold,” he writes, “that caused severe pains in my chest, so it was hard for me to breathe. A neighbor gave me several doses of Dr. King's New Discovery which brought great relief. The doctor said I was on the verge of pneu1 monia, but to continue with the the Discovery. 1 did so and two bottles completely cured me."
