TWELVE PAGES All matters Tor the society page should be directed to Harry E. Downer, -society editor, who will be pleased to be informed of all recep tions, teas, or any affairs of social moment. The most unique and pleasing of he events of the week was the exhibit of chrysanthemum at the Library building" It was a happy thought that inspired the board to make it possible for the florists'to gather together in one place so many beautiful blossoms and give the public an opportunity to revel in their luxuriant gracefulness. The exhibition was carefully planned. The two floors of the Library buildine- gave ample room for the splendid display and when the wealth of floral beauty was thrown open to the gaze of the lovers of flowers it did seem as if nothing was lacking.

Love of truth compels the statement, however, that there was something that needed to be brought into the rooms before the exhibition could be fairly considered an unqualified success--somebody to see all the beauty and sweetness therein contained. The attendance was meagre --enthusiastic and lavish of praise, but undoubtedly thin. The nodding blossoms played to empty houses and poor business. y- fc The logical mind looks for a reason. It was 13ot the excitement of election week.

It was not the 4,000 other things that took people's attention. It was simply that Davenport people are hardly ready for a chrysanthemum exhibition. They take but little interest in a subject which has engrossed the attention of other places where such exhibitions have attracted crowds. The appreciation of the flower is but iu its budding infancy here. Davenport will get around to it in time.

Its aesthetic faculty will bloom aud blossom in due season. Meanwhile the Library board, and the florists are to be thanked for a picture of beauty that will linger in the memories of a comparative few.

The would-be grangers clad in overalls and jumpers were arranged in two opposing parties and with such assistance as their feminine friends could offer attacked the cora pile and frantically plucked the shucks from the raw material for corn flapjacks.

The squad led by Farmer Fred Crouch won the day and the pumpkin pie prize which formed the bone of contention for a lively fracas which tore the pastry limb fro'm limb. There were plenty more, however, for the hungry and an old up country fiddler who furnished the inspiration for the Virginia reel, which closed the evening's pleasure. The 200 people who were there want to go to the next one. SURPRISE PARTY. The home of the Misses Dunn.
