Mrs. Chas. Phelps had the largest party
of the ses son two weeks ago-one hundred
and fifty of the Dorsetites and Rupertites
| being present at the church sociable held at
her house, but East Rupert is ahead in sur
prise parties. About two hundred of Mr.
and Mrs. Dwight TayIor's friends made
them visit on Thursday evening. If it
was next year we should say they came by
the carload, but they arrived on foot and
on horseback, in single cutters and two
horse sleighloads, besides two four horse
teams. Hardly family in Rupert or Dor.
set but was represented there, and we no.
ticed several from Rutland, Dandy, Paw.
let and Manchester. If, as is said 1t is 9
mark of good breeding never to be sur
| was because there were not more there. The
| fine piano was at the service of those who
were unsteady inclined, and violin fol
those who wished to beat time with thei
feet. If there was any one who cared fo
neither there were two hundred people oil
all ages from great grandfathers down t.
babies to converse with, and if there wal
one who did not spend q pleasant evening
he must be very stupid. About ten o'clecl
the dinner horn silenced the violin and wei
filled cake baskets and ice cream trays wer,
circulated through the house, and l judgt
from the baskets of fragments that | saw
that none of that multitude went ava,
hungry the next morning.
