Trousseau Tea Tile beautiful country home of C. J. Lutz, just south of the city, was thc scene of a lovely party from Ihi co to five o'clock this afternoon, Miss Rowena Shoaf, being the hostess to thirty-two of her lady friends at a Trousseau tea, during which time the guests were pleasantly informed of her approaching marriage to Mr Charles Ilolthouse of this city. Upon arrival at the Lutz home the guests were ushered Into the spacious dining room which was attractively decorated in spring flowers and where eight tables were neatly arranged for the luncheon. At each plate was placed little nut cups of varied colors, filled With dainties to mutch and with an owl perched on one side, with a knowing or wise look on his face. Under one wing was tucked a little scroll, one side containing the name of the guest and served as a place card, while on the other was printed a verso which, when read, filled tho room with' the atmosphere of wedding bells. The wise old owl guarded his secret well, it being necessary for the guests to unroll the tiny bit of paper, upon which was printed the catchy and delightful verse, "Who to? Who to? Who to? To you. to you, 'to you, that you may learn, "Tiie two, the two, to marry, I do affirm, ‘‘Rowena Shoaf, “Charles Holthouse, “June 11, 1925.” The secret told and congratulations being extended and accepted, the guests were seated for the two-course luncheon, which was served by the Misses Gretchen Schafer and Mary Catherine Schug. Following the luncheon the guests were invited into an adjoining room where they had the pleasure of viewing thc brideelects trousseau and various linens 'Tom her hope chest. The wedding of the popular couple wiil take place Wednesday morning at eight-thirty o'clock at the St. Marys Catholic church in this city, the couple being attended by a wedding party.

Broadening the Base of Industry “Wc are living in a world too small to be compartmented,” says Willis 11. Booth, Presi- . dent of the International Chamber of Commerce. Long ago the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) foresaw thc change in business which is now taking place. Several years ago this Company took a long step in advance by widening tho ownership of its capital stock, and by bringing into complete harmony the interests of customers, stockholders, employes and the public. So far as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is concerned, the interests of capital, labor and the consumer are no idiger divided into separate ‘‘compartments.” These interests are one. Only by thc profitable employment of the stockholders’ capital can the consumer be served and labor employed. The stockholder wants dividends. Dividends are paid out of profits. Profits follow service to the consumer. Efficient service to the consumer can only be achieved through a wise labor policy. Bv the careful, thorough-going administration Os its affairs, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has interlocked these interests in such a manner as to promote complete harmony in its own organization and to develop and encourage the spirit of "I Will” and “I Can” resulting in an enthusiastic service to the thirty million people of ten Middle Western states. Every purchaser of a gallon of gasoline manufactured by this Company gets thc benefit of a myriad of activities, the enthusiastic labor of innumerable men, and the use of an immense amount of capital. The ideal which inspired the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to work for a practical fusion of the formerly divergent interests was an ideal of service: an earnc t desire to further progress by the creation of new wealth in the form of an abundant supply of petroleum products: a determination to sell these products at prices low enough to bring them within the reach of all: making the comfort and luxury of motoring as available to the day laborer as to the multi-millionaire.
