PRETTY SHOWER IS GIVEN IN MISS SHELDON'S HONOR

Miss Helen Seager Entertained Saturday Evening—Two-Course Luncheon Served.

One of the pretty parties of the season was given Saturday evening, when Miss Helen Seager entertaiend a number of young ladies at her home in Church street, at a variety shower in honor of Miss Luciele Sheldon, whose marriage to Olgar Lane of Meosho, Mo., will take place next month.

The rooms were prettily decorated, the color scheme carried throughout being yellow and white. In the dining room covers were laid for twelve at one table, which was centered with marigolds; place cards used were hand-painted umbrellas, and favors were yellow baskets containing nuts. Hidden in each guest's napkin was a slip of paper bearing a fortune. These were read and revealed many interesting things to the party of young ladies. A two-course luncheon was served.

During the evening games and contests were indulged in, some of which caused considerable merriment. Miss Sheldon was the recipient of many pretty and useful gifts.

LUCILE C. SHELDON BRIDE OF O. R. LANE

(From the Randolph (N. Y.) Register.)

An early winter wedding, and the most elaborate social function of the season, was the wedding of Miss Lucile Calhoun Sheldon and Olgar Rineal Lane of Neosho, Missouri, which claimed the presence of more than one hundred and fifty guests at Grace Episcopal church Saturday evening. Quantities of winter shrubbery bearing clusters of bright red berries, palms and yellow chrysanthemums in tall white baskets adorned with bows of white ribbon were used in decorating the church, while ropes of white garlanded the aisles. White roses adorned the altar, which with its lighted candles made an artistic setting for the ceremony, which was solemnized at 6:30.

At the stroke of the hour, the bridal party entered to the strains of Lohengren's Wedding march, rendered by Miss Helen Searle, who, gowned in pale pink georgette with a corsage of violets, had taken her place at the organ. As. the Rev. T. H. Delbridge, rector of the church, came to the altar, Mr. Lane with his best man, Ralph Seager, emerged from the vestment room and awaited the approach of the bride at the chancel stairs. The bridal party was led by the ushers, Raymond Hitchcock and Windom Beacom. Directly behind them walked the bridesmaid, Miss Gwendolyn Rich, gowned in blue georgette, wearing a large picture hat of the same dainty color, and carrying an arm bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. Then came the little flower girl, Betty Anderson, carrying baby chrysanthemums, and beside her walked her sister, Jane, bearing in her hand a single pure white bloom on which was place the wedding ring. These dainty little ladies wore white organdie frocks. Following them came the bride and her maid of honor, Miss Helen Seager, who wore a beaded georgette gown, with picture hat of the same dainty pink as the gown, and carrying an arm bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

At the chancel the ushers and the bridesmaid took places at either side of the approach to the altar, while the best man and the bride's attendant preceded the bridal couple to the altar. The impressive full ring service of the church was used. The bride was never more charming than she was on this, the crowning day of a maiden's life. Her robe was of heavy white Duchesse satin fashioned with court train, the only trimming being an old collar of rose pink lace. The long graceful folds of her tulle wedding veil swept to the hem of her train from a filmy cap encircled with orange buds which fittingly crowned her loveliness. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and the dainty swansonia.

Immediately following the ceremony the bridal party returned to the bride's home in Church street, where an informal reception was attended by the members and close friends of the bride's family. After the congratulations and good wishes were showered upon the happy couple, with plenty of rice mixed in, a four course dinner was served at which covers were laid for sixty. The bride's table of twelve covers, which was laid in the music room, was centered with a huge bouquet of chrysanthemums. The dining room and parlors were also decorated with bouquets, of the same winter blossom, and roses. Mr. and Mrs. Lane left early in the evening for a short trip, and are leaving the first of the week for the west, where the groom has a home in readiness for his bride. They will stop enroute in Chicago and St. Louis.

Mrs. Lane is one of Randolph's most accomplished and charming young women, and her friends are only limited to the number of residents of our village where she was born and grew to womanhood. Her popularity was expressed in no unmistakable way during these pre-nuptial days when friend vied with friend in doing her honor, and by the quantity and quality of the exquisite gifts which have been showered upon her. These latter include silver, cut glass, linens, money, and many other larger gifts of household furniture. The groom's gift to his bride was a platinum ring set with nine diamonds.

Mrs. Lane inherited her mother's gift for music and from early childhood could execute compositions which those not possessing this gift must needs spend hours of practice and study to acquire. She has gained no little notice as a skilled pianist. After graduating from Randolph High school she continued the study of music, completing a three-year course in piano, voice and cello, at the Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., and has since her graduation been employed as an accompanist for some of the best musicians of the metropolis.

Mr. Lane came from his western home in 1910 to enter Chamberlian Military Institute, and remained in Randolph during three school years. The romance which began in these happy days culminated in this union. After leaving Randolph the young man entered the University of Missouri and graduated from its law school. He is now in the real estate business in Neosho, his home city. Like his wife he is musically gifted and has studied voice in St. Louis, where he has been tenor soloist in one of the city churches. Mr. Lane served as a 1st Lieutenant in the great war, training at Camps Funston, Kan., and College Park, Md. He went overseas with the 341st Field Artillery, 89th Division. He fought up to the last minute, seeing the hardest service on November 10th and 11th. While Randolph folk will regret losing one of "our own girls," all will join heartily with the Register in expressing joy and gratitude that the life of the young man was spared, and will wish them all the happiness life can hold to compensate for the long year of anxiety and uncertainty during which the cup of happiness might at a moment's notice slip from the lovers lips.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR CAPTAIN LANE

As Largely Attended as Any Funeral in Neosho in Recent Years.

Funeral services for Captain Olgar R. Lane who died Wednesday night of last week were held Saturday afternoon at two o'clock at the home of his mother, Mrs. J. R. Shambaugh, where he died, and were as largely attended as any funeral held in Neosho in recent years. The body lay in state at the residence from early Saturday morning until the hour of the funeral ceremony and scores of friends went to take their last look and express their sympathy for the bereaved family.

Rev. A. G. VanElden, late rector of St. John's Episcopal church, of which deceased was a member, conducted the services at the residence, using the regular Episcopal ceremony. Only a small part of the aseemblage was privileged to hear the discourse and the service. The pallbearers were Chas. Hans, A. W. Fullerton, Leo H. Johnson, D. L. Buxton, A. E. Weston and H. G. C. Baldry. Officers of the Regiment from other towns, headed by General W. A. Raup of Pierce City, came to act as an escort and formed in a double line from the house to the sidewalk when the casket was carried out to the hearse. All the members of Battery C of which Captain Lane was commander met first at the armory and attended in a body in uniform.

Flowers were banked high on and around the casket as it lay in state, being sent by civic and military organizations, lodges, relatives and friends, and were taken to the cemetery and banked around the grave. A long procession of automobiles followed the hearse to the I. O. O. F. cemetery and a large assemblage witnessed the last rites. After the short Episcopal service by Rev. Van Elden, the Masons took charge and the Masonic ceremony was conducted by A. J. Miller, past worshipful master of the Neosho lodge. The relatives present were his wife and little son, his mother, Mrs. J. R. Shambaugh, and Mr. Shambaugh, and his two brothers, Clive and Ivan Lane.

DEATH OF SON OF MRS. LUCIELE LANE

It was with a feeling of profound shock and grief that the community heard of the sudden death of John Robert Lane, 12-year-old son of Mrs. Luciele Lane, head of the music department of the Neosho schools, at Sale hospital Monday morning. Physicians agreed that his death was the result of what first appeared to be a slight injury to his knee Friday morning. Symptoms of blood poisoning were apparent and his temperature rose to 105 degrees. Pneumonia developed from a slight cold, and the child suffered a collapse at 9 o'clock and his death occurred an hour later.

Bobby was one of Neosho's best known and beloved children. He had a wide range of activities and interests, and his ambition to create and achieve put him in contact with many grown-ups to whom he frankly confided his plans and ambitions. Because of his friendliness, his charm of manner and sincerity of purpose he was always heard with interest. He was an eighth grade student in junior high school, and teachers remark upon his extraordinary ability in certain branches, showing an intelligence far above the average child of his years.

Bobby's father, the late Olgar Lane, died ten years ago when the boy was two years old, and his mother has reared him. He was her only child and besides her he is survived by two grandmothers, Mrs. Anna Lane Shambaugh of this city and Mrs. Louise Sheldon of Chautauqua, N.Y.

Funeral services were held at St. John's Episcopal church, the rector of the Carthage Episcopal church having the rites in charge in the absence of the regular rector. Burial under the directions of Bigham's mortuary was made in the I. O. O. F. cemetery. Pallbearers were Joe Weston, Alan Weston, Dorsey Tuggle, Charles Sale, Onal Carter Sale and Dean Mace.
