) THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1929 y INSTALMENT THIRTY-ONE J The Dinner Party It was a radiapt Solange who waited for Jerry and Fred to ac- company her to the dinner of wel- come that night. At the request of many of the distinguished guests the were to wear their pilots' poe fo bastily refurbished while they 4 ' slept, but So-so might be as gorgeous as she pleased. She was much amused when Donna Madrigo who was to act as hostess, telephon- ed to ak if she would permit her flying costume be displayed. "Many wish to see it, Senorita Harper, and we will preserve it most carefully. "Send it along," she told Mrs, Carstairs, who relayed the request, #1 can't see why any one should want to leok at ft--it's full of grease stains, you know; but fet them have it it they choose.' She was amused, too, at the way Mre, Carstairs hovered over her, "phe duenna (chaperone) Is still strong down here, my dear. It Is very funny, No one would breathe a word against you for the trip it- self, but it you tried to go about independently now that you are ar- rived it would be a terrific breach of custom--not to mention a hor- ritic example to set for the little senoritas, They are the kindest- hearted people in the world--but they cling to many of their old Eur- opean customs, I rather like it It gives me a chance to be with ou." "I like it, too," So-so said. "I ean't ever remember having had a mother; my father brought me up, you know, and you are the nearest approach to a mother I've ever hed." Mrs, Carstairs kised her, "What a lovely thing for you to say. Now we'll telephone your Jerry and Fred --and while we are walting for them to appear, let's look at some of these messages and boxes that have come for you.'" She gave So-s0 a sheaf of cable- grams and smiled at the girl's amazement. 'You're a celebrity, didn't you know that?" she asked, 80.80 began opening them, There wag & brief message of love and eongratulation from Censtance, an- other from her father, one from Clayton, one from old friends at Mineola Field, an astounding offer | from a motion-picture company, "They've never even seen me!' So- so eried, "No, but they know that whether By BARBARA WEBB in a supper sceme that a certain pumber of people will pay good, round dollars to see you.on the scene," "Not very flattering then, Is it?" Bo-s0 remarked, bhTere were requests for indorse- ments of brands of food, clothing, cosmetics, cigarettes, sporting goods, medicines--twenty such re- quests in all, So-so had just finish~ ed the lgst of these offers when the boys came in, "Good lord, So-s0--~have you got some offers from the movies there? It you haven't you'll get them, nev- er fear, when some enterprising di- rector sees you in that outfit," Fred was admiring her and Jerry joined him, "Hats off to you, So-50; you're 8 vow," She was wearing black lace mold- ed closely to her slender figure. A hairdresser had coiled her balr low on her neck, dressed it with a huge Spanish comb and added the grace- ful touch of a black mantilla, The room was heaped with flowers, but So0-s0 was carrying only a small bunch of white roses, very sweet and fragant, "Hasn't any one sent you dla- monds, So-s0?" Jerry teased her, Mrs, Carsairs laughed, "Not yet But she can have them for the ask- ing, Listen to this, She translat- ed a note that had just been deliv- ered, "Honored and estecemed Sen- orita: . Permit me to offer you in marriage the hand of Senor Don Manuel Rlego de 1a Quierida, It is the hand of the scion of an old and noble family--' 'There's a great deal more of it, and he tells how many herds of cattle and so on he has. I know who he is; he's really very rich and very noble and he could plaster you with diamonds --he"s had two other wives, so you'd not be getting an inexperien- ced husband, Solange." | She folded the letter, I advise you to send him a courteous an- swer, He doesn't expect you to ac- cept the offer, though he may make he flourish of inviting you to his ranch, He dotes on publicity, I have an {dea you'll have some other offers that will need to be answered and I'll send you a young fellow to- orrow to act as secretary, Come along children," She put a hand on Bo-so arm, "What a handsome three children I have in my family tonight--my own two boys and daughter are all in the State. and 1 haven't seem them you are cross-eyed and knock-kne- ed and couldn't act the part of super, for a year." "You make a very satisfactory "The GOLDEN GIRL | mother," Jerry sald, admiring her white balr, black velvet evening gown, very modish and smart, and her beautifully dignified manner tempered with graciousness. To So-s0 the dinner that followed was a bewildering affair of many white ghirt fronts, women with the most beautiful white shoulders and glorious dark eyes she had ever seen, quantities of food, sparkling wines, innumerable speeches, cheers upon cheers, compliments in broken English, three proposals of mar- | riage, invitations galore and shin- ing through it like beacons of sanity Jerry's contagious grin and Fred's steady glances. There was a dance after the gin- ner and 80-50 was solemnly whirled about in the arms of diplomats who jealously guarded her from the eag- er young fellows who clamored for dances, She did not see Jerry and Fred in the crush of the daneing, and was finally rescued by Mrs, Carstairs, who took her into a des. erted anteroom to get her breath and prepare for the entertainment to be offered at midnight, * A gayly decorated box had been built for the guests of honor and there they were joined by Fred and Jerry, still unruffied, to watch the exhibition of the tango as danced by the two most popular performers fn Rio. So-so applauded heartily when the dance was finished. "It's the loveliest thing I've ever seen," she cried, "I'd far rather do that than fly an airplane." This remark was taken up, tossed about and elaborated into a column in the morning papers the next day, "They just love you, So-s0," Jerry told her. "We'll have an awful time getting you away, Some eve- ning for three little babes in the woods, what?" It was 3 in the morning before Mrs, Carstairs told them they could leave without offending their hosts, "If you hadn't been up all night last night, they'd exepet you to stay for bre~kfast," she assured them, At door of her room Jerry sald, "Let's try to get a powwow in to- morrow, So-s0; save an hour around 10, I've had a long cable from: Constance--and we've got some things to say to each other, it seems to me--you and 1."

An interesting feature was the fact that all the music was com- posed and played by Salvation Army musicians. The program opened with a hymn and prayer led by Field Ma- Jor Osborne. Following a Bible reading by Band Sergeant Badley, Major Galloway, who acted in the capacity of chairman, made a few remarks, He spoke of the encour agement to the band that such a large number was present. The opening band number, "Vie tor's Crown," was played in an ex- ceptionally fine manner. The un- restrained applause of the admir- ers of fine music present was evi dence of the pleasure of the use sembly, One of the guest artists was then introduced, Bandmaster N. -Audoire, L.T.C.L., AT.U.M, Bandmaster Audoire is a renowned concert pianist and further enhanc- ed his reputation by the commend- able manner in which he played as a plano solo, 'Sound the Battle Cry," one of his own arrangements, Bandmaster Audoire is known as the Salvation Army's best musie teacher and composer. The second guest artist, Depuwy Bandmaster E, Gare, was intro. duced. Mr, Gare was a gold med- allist for cornet solos at the Cana- dian National Exhibition in 198, Deputy * Bandmaster Gare contri. buted "Columbia," which was heartily applauded.

Mrs. Read, a soprano soloist from Toronto, then sang an old fa vorite "One Fleeting Hour." Mrs. Read is the possessor of an out- standing soprano voice and the harmonious manner in which she sang this pleasing solo was well re- ceived. A solo, of a type unfami far to many, was then given, an enphonium solo, by Bndmster E. Collins, As were all the numbers on the program this solo, 'Brown's Autograph," was heartily applaud- ed An interval in the musical pro- gram then followed when tasty ee freshments were served to the su dience by a number of ladies, The second part of the program opened with a band selection, 'Songs of Liberty," after which Bandmaster N, Audoire again fa- vored with a pleasing pianoforte solo, "Salut a Pesth," hy Kowalski. The pralse of the ability of this young man can not be too lavish in comparison to the delightful seo- los which he gave. Deputy Band- master E, Gare was no less inferior in his rendition of "The Conquer- ing Hero as a cornet solo. "Thanks Be To God" was raised to an exalted position in classical music as sung by Mrs, Read, which was given after a band. selection, "Exaltation." The musical pro- gram was brought to a close all too soon with "Aurelia" as beautifully given by the band.

Barnes, manager of the lo- cal electrical: and gas plants, wus head at the request of Alderman 8. H., Jackson on the gas fatality which took the life of Mrs. Bouckley, Mr. Barnes declared that all gas stoves should be vented, and strongly advised that vents pe made compulsory. In Toronto, where the venting was compulsory, it had prevented asphyxiation in all cases except where it was me properly installed. Alderman 8, H. Jackson and O. A. Mason moved that a by-law be prepared to provide for compuls- ory venting of gas stoves. Alderman Hart sald that, wheth- er or not present gas stoves were vented it should be made compuls. ory in all future buildings, The motion carried. i RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION HARBOR VOTE City Council Sends Message of Thanks to Dominion Government The following resolution expressing appreciation of the $50,000 appropria= tion of the Dominion Government for Oshawa Harbor development, was presented to the city council last night by Alderman 5.

PERMISSION FOR CARNIVAL REFUSED BY CITY COUNCIL ALDERMEN OBJECT TO MOST OF PROCEEDS LEAVING CITY Application Made by Knights of Pythias Not Favorably Considered Permission to hold a six-day carn- ival was refused the Knights of Pythias lodge in this city, by the city council at its meeting last night, Al- though the carnival was being held ostensibly to raise money for the fraternal and charitable work of the lodge, the council took the stand that the largest proportion of the money would go into the pockets of the carnival company carrying on the show, and that little of it would be left in Oshawa, and that the proposi- tion was therefor not in the best in- terests of the city, Knights of Pythias, including ¥F. Kirby, appeared before the coun- cil on behalf of the proposition to hold mn carnival for six days cow- mencing July 8, to raise money for their fraternal and benevolent work. It would be carried on un the flats near the Motor City Sta- dium north of Xing street west, sald Mr. Kirby. Alderman C, A, Mason sald that about 76 per cent of the money would go to the carnival company out of the city. Mr. Kirby stated that the Knights of Pythias were to receive $300 plus 10 per cent of the gross proceeds on rides and shows. The carnival company paid all expenses, In a report of the general pur- pose committee, it was recommen- ded that the application of the Knights of Pythias to hold a car- nival be not granted. This recom. mendation was adopted. What is so rare as a day in June?
