THE FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY

or MR.. AND MRS. 6. W. HENDERsON's MAR
RAGE, CELEBRATED AT THEIR RESIDENCE
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER llTH, 1890.
Editor Bulletin:
One of the most enjoyable affairs Of the
season was surprise party given Mr.. and
Mrs. c. w. Henderson, on the occasion of
their crystal anniversary, last Saturday night
That the affair was a real Surprise was
mainly due to the fact that the gentlemen
participating, realizing their own weakness,
carefully avoided Seventh street for two
days before hand. Mr.. Mccullough, Mr.,
Thomas Winter and Mr. Rittenhouse were
obliged to walk block or two out ofthelr way
to business, knowing they'd be sure to stop
and tell if they saw Mrs. Henderson, and
dreading the lecture they knew they'd get
from their wives, who have no difficulty
whatever in keeping secret.
The party consisting of ten couples Of
intimate friends, met at the residence of
Mr.. Irwin, and from there marched in
body upon the unsuspecting crystal BRIDE
who in the first moment OF surprise, thought
herself the recipient of a visit from the Sal
walton Army. Mr., Bradley being the most
clerical looking one of the party she imme
diately called upon him to pray, but with
his usual ditiidence, he resigned in favor Of
Mr. VIM. Winter. At this juncture, the
ladies of the crowd explained that 1t
was not the Salvation Army, but
a surprise party, whereupon things assumed
a more comfortable footing, and Mr.. Brad
ley came out of the corner, where he had
retired to blush unseen.
The crystal groom" who was at first
absent appeared in short while, and was
received with such torrent of congratula-
tons aud playful badinage that he was com
pletely overcome.
The time passed off in the most delight
full manner-mirth, conversation and cards,
being the order of the evening. The ladies
had not forgotten the sweet road to the
gentlemen's hearts, and had prepared re-
treshments to which all did justice.
With much merriment and many kind
wishes, the party babe the bride and groom
adeau, with the exception Of Mr. and Mrs
Rttenhouse, whom some one in the crowd
basely insinuated "never did know when to
gohome" Hardly had the quartette settled
down into quiet conversation, when they
were startled out of several years growth,
by pandemonium of hideous sounds,
seemingly produced from myrlads OF TIM
pans, lids and horns--in fact, regular
charavarl, conducted by the same
ladies and gentlemen, who composed the
party. Seventh street was reused from Its
usual heightened quiet, and scandalized
and demoralized by the horrible din, which
did not cease until the groom led his blush
ing hide out upon the portico. {
After exacting from the groom, promise
to put new bottoms in all the pans spoiled
upon the occasion, which he generously
offered to do for the modest sum of Is cents
apiece, the party again said good night
and quiet once more reigned on Seventh
street.
