The Concord Ladies' Aid society in goodly numbers held a very pleasant April session with Mrs. John Evans of this city Wednesday. A musical number by Erma Heuck, with a reading by Mrs. F. A. Peoples end the regular devotional service were features of t::e program, followed by a general social time. Mrs. James Stockard of Williams was a new member received at this time. The hostess was assisted by the Misses Erma and Thelma Houk. Pauline Evans, Bessie and Hattie Wilder, Mabel Moses and Helen Fonner in serving luncheon. The Easter-tide was suggested in the favors —little chickens and rabbits on ’ the sandwiches. The May meeting i will be with Mrs. John Evans. The Rebekahs held an initiation * service Tuesday evenins, three candil dates—Mamie Kitsou, Inez Coverdale j and Frances Baker receiving the deI Sree ' j A perfect spring afternoon Wednesday sent a wealth of golden sunshine I for the “shower” given by Miss Franj ces Merryman, at the home of her I parents. Judge and Mrs. J. T. Metry- ; man, on North Second street, for Miss ' Pansy Bell, whose wedding to Mr. : Jesse Helm will be an event of May I first. The nature of the affair was | very prettily suggested in the water J f'olor decorated invitations, representing a little girl showering a pansy, and all responded save Miss Helen Niblick, who was obliged to return Monday to her studies at Mt. Holyoke college. Plans for the coming happy event were discussed in animated con-

j versation by the girls as they busily applied their needles in a hemming co;.test, each bring given a square of cheese cloth. The contest closed with the judges awarding the honors to Mrs. A. R. Bell, the prize, which was the set of twelve dish cloths just hemmed, being then presented to the prospective bride. At srßo o’clock tea was announced and the dining ’ room was a very pretty scene, as its golden beauty burst upon the company. The long table was lighted with yellow-hooded candles and the ’ centerpiece was a magnificent wickerbasket filled with ferns and greenery in which nestled golden jonquils. The ferns drooping from the baske*, were spread on the table surrounding it. In the form of a large star. The golden color was carried out in the white china service, decorated with a tiny line of gold, and the salted nuts were served in yellow crimped paper nut cups Place cards were the prettiest of ail Hie sper-iM honors to the bride, being in the shape of pansies, tinted in water colors in yellow and purple. The bride's place was marked with a tracery of smilax and with the very biggest of these pansy cards. The cards laid at I lie other covers bore the names Os her mother, Mrs. A. K. Bell, and the Tri-Kappa girls and a few other friends, including in all. Mrs. M. A. Frisinger, Mrs. Dal° Moses, Miss Edna Hoffman. Miss Marie Allison. Miss Fanny Frisinger, . Mrs. J. O Sellpmeyer, Miss Adda Don-I . aldson. Miss'Jean Lutz, Miss Madge i Hite, The menu was served in three I courses and carried out the yellow ■ i color scheme. It was not until the | i close, however, that the mysterious s maze of yellow cords that wound here ( and there and everywhere tantalizing- , ly about ihe entire house, was clear-j , ed away. Each one of these cords was ti> ! to a d'ning chair, and each guest was asked to begin winding the cord that ended at her place. These j were followed to the very end —nooks I in many and varied places in the j I house, where pretty favors —little yel-1 j low Easter eggc, containing rice to shower the bride —were found. The | bride s cord, with happy intent, was i much longer than the others, and | therefore, the guests finishing their j winding balls, joined with her in her quest. This lead through room after I room, then up the winding stairway to a little alcove in the hall at the back stairway, where on a little table, outlined with a tracery of smilax, tbe cord ended under packages done in golden tissue —and the Pansy came i into her crystal shower —a crystal l pitcher, with silver deposit, the set ■ being complete with beautifully etch-' • ed goblets and a hadnsome buffet ■ scarf, symbolic of their wishes for a? | unclouded happy future for their | | mend, which, is paradoxial as it may seem —“clouds with their silver finings turned inside out.” i Mesdamcs Fred Blosser and Earl i Butler entertained the Needles and i 1 Nods club and their husbands Wed ' ■ nesday evening at the Blosser home. I - Progressive pedro. as usual, was the I

principal game of the evening, hut there were also interesting amusement features. In a peanut conies:, and a pin-tying contest, prizes were won by Dallas Hnusicker and Mrs. O. P. Schug, and in a contest in which the greatest number of things were found depicted on the face of a penny. Earl Butler and Mrs. Dallas Hunsicker were successful. A delicious Inueheon in three courses was served. Mrs. O. P. Schug will have the pleasure of entertaining the club next. Easter rabbits were given as favors. Ai the regular meeting of the Orient club M ednesday afternoon the ladies held their annual election of officers, Mrs. C. D. Murray being named president and secretary, and Mrs. Charles Elzey, vice president. The usual sewing occupied the attention of the club and then came a two-course luncheon. The next meeting will be in two weeks with Mrs. Charles How er. Mrs. J. S. Boyers had the excellent paper at the Shakespeare club meeting at the home of Mis. J. 11. Heller Wednesday afternoon, when thff study of “Commercial Life in Australia" was taken up. The club will give its clos- j mg social April 23rd at the home oi • Mrs. John Niblick. TO HOI-E HOSPITAL. Mr. and Mrs. .L D. Nidlinger accompanied their da ig’hter, Miss Irene Nidlinger to Fort Wayr.a this afternoon, where Miss Irene will enter Hope hospital for treatment for a nervous trouble -••»» Nidlinger has undergone two operations, one for appendicitis, but her health has not been fully restored and it is hoped that the course in the hospitri will do much to restore it.
