J E Stokes : was hostess at a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Estelle Haselton,! i whose marriage to Mr Vernon R Howie will take place on the 9th inst. The entire lower floor of the spacious home of Mrs Stokes' mother, Mrs Emily Severance,was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the effect being butterflies, myriads of them being strung across the room, crawling up curtains and around bric-a-brac. All of the guests were furnished with paper butterflies and little pencils and told to write reci B pes in which butter predominated and on the other side# a preventive for flies. This caused much merriment, W and many and varied were the adF vices. Following this, small strips of j plain paper and pencils were passed I around to the guests, who were askI ed to draw miniature butterflies. I This prize fell to Miss Clyda Caldr well. Immediately afterward a but[ terfly chase ensued and Mrs E M DuRant, with a few others, found B ^ seven hidden, and after cutting, was presented with the prize, - an emr broidered centerpiece. All the guests were then ushered into the dining room, which was darkened until the bride reached the center of the room. The lights were then turned on, and ^B on the table and buffet were a num ber of lovely and useful gifts.

This was the second time Tidwell 81 has been tried. In May, 1914, he was tried and sentenced to 12 years. ^ His sentence was subsequently re- a duced to seven years by the Gov- v ernor.

INER HESPERIAN GOES DOWN IN IEEP WATER OFF QUEENSTOWN. 26 LIVES PROBABLY LOST. Queenstown, September 6:?Six 2cond cabin passengers, six third abin passengers and thirteen of the rew of the steamer Hesperian, toredoed 150 miles off Queenstown aturday, 28th ult, were still unacounted for tonight, according to ?vised official figures issued by the Jlan Line. This brings the probble death list, including Miss Carerry of St John's, Newfoundland, ffiose body is here, up to twenty-six. The captain of the stricken liner emained by his ship until it sank, [e declined to comment on the disster for publication; hence the ofcial statement as to whether he elieves his ship was a victim of a :>rpedo or a mine must come from he admiralty, although the captain ! quoted as having told an Allan line official today that the Heserian was torpedoed. Most of the survivors, passengers nd crew, will leave Queenstown tolorrow by special train and boat 3r Liverpool. The ship plunged to the bottom ?yenty-eight miles southwest of 'astnet, not far from the scene of he attack, taking with her 3,545 ags of mail, much of it originating 1 neutral countries. The flooding of the forward comartments, which caused the Heserian to sink so much by the head s to throw the propellers out of the rater, made the attempt to tow the ner to Queenstown impossible in he rough sea. Mr Hamilton, a saloon passenger n the Hesperian, describing his exerience, said: "No warning whatever was given efore the torpedo was fired. Sudenly a boatswain cried: 'Submarine n the starboard bow.' Almost imultaneously the torpedo struck. "I entered a boat with fifty others, 'he boat took the water safely, but ppeared to leak badly. Why it ras I cannot say, but it was neces ary to detail two members of the rew to bail constantly. The women ehaved very well and there was no ppreciable panic aboard the steamr. We were in the boat about wo hours before we were rescued." Among the second cabin pasengers were more than one hunred women and children.

Capt Main, of the Hesperian, made the statement today that the vessel had been torpedoed and that no warning was given. Major Maitland Kersey, managerin-chief of the ocean services of the Canadian Pacific Railway, said that | the list of missing has reached twelve passengers and perhaps one ' or two members of the crew. He added that all would have been j saved but for the unfortunate mishap in launching one life boat in the = darkness. When Capt Main landed in Queenstown he proceeded to the admiralty ; office to make his report. There j landed with him thirteen officers ! and twenty-five men who remained | with the liner to the last. Two mine sweepers and two admiralty tugs attempted to tow the Hesperian to port, but the ship, partly filled with water, was so unmanageable and the sea was so heavy that no progress could be made.
