Wilson sent by his personal representative, Secretary Baker, a draft of his platform. Although Tuesday night Mr. Baker declined to disclose the president's platform views it was learned that the platform will dwell principally "on peace, preparedness for peace and prosperity." The principal planks, it was authoritatively stated, will deal with the administration's trials and achievements in handling international and Mexican affairs, its rapid step towards "preparedness for peace," and the legislation contributing to general prosperty.

Upon the detailed explanation to quantity of booty. The army of General Techitskyn alone, operating in the direction of Czernowitz, Bukomina, the statement adds, overwhelmed the Austro-Hungarians and took 18,000 prisoners. Since the present offensive was started a week ago today, the Russians have taken about 108,000 prisoners. "Our offensive in Volhynia, Galic-ia and Bukowina obtained fresh successes yesterday. The enemy armies continue to suffer enormous losses in prisoners alone.

"The fierce attacks of our troops are throwing into our hands thousands upon thousands of prisoners and booty of all kinds, the exact es-mation of which is as yet impossible. "For instance, in a single sector on the enemy front we captured 21 searchlights, two convoys, 29 field kitchins, 47 trains of machine guns, 12,000 spools of barbed wire, 1,000 concrete planks, 7,000,000 cubes of concrete, 10,000 poods of coal, enormous depots of ammunition and quantities of arms and other materials."

Hearts was played at eleven tables. Miss Beula Jenkins and Miss Rodgers cut for the high score prize, which was a vase lovely with white and silver filigree work. Miss Jenkins won the prize. Miss Feild, as guest of honor, was presented with a vase bearing green and silver filigree work.

The score cards, in the shape of hearts, were ornamented with ap-. propnate bridal emblems. They bore the initials of the prospective bride and groom. The shower was given in a most original way: A green covered mail box had been erected on the lawn. The box bore two hands which directed the way down two paths denominated "Loyer's Lane" and "Road to Matrimony." Miss Feild was requested to look inside the box.

There she found a letter which told how Miss Feild and Mr. Cochrane had met in Lover's Lane in 1910 and were now about to proceed on the "Road to Matrimony" Miss Feild found instructions to follow the path indicated by a cord secured to the box. This cord led here and there over the lawn; at last ending before a green screen. Behind this screen was. a huge spider web bearing many lovely gifts for the bride-to-be.

The refreshments consisted of ice cream, cake, 'mints and nuts. The decorating scheme of green and white was carried out in the refreshments. Serving the refreshments were Misses Mary Thomas, Catherine -Kincaid, Catherine Amaker and Catherine Brawley. Mrs. J.
