Surprise PATTY!

day" of Mrs. w. T. Price, and some of her
lady friends got up surprise party for
her. 1t was so arranged that Mrs. Price
should be detained, on some preteXt, after
church, until her friends had reached her
residence. This OBTAINING part was en-
trusted to Mrs. Jas. Martin, formerly Miss
Fannie Baker, and more sunny-natured,
pleasant lady it wou'' be difficult to find.
So well did Mrs. Martin manage her part
of the affair that when Mrs. Price entered
her residence more surprised lady had
scarcely been seen.
Mrs. Price had thought that perhaps
some two or three friends and relatives
might call in the evening, and left her
daughters, Blanche and Alice, and Miss
Belle Swanson, to keep house while she
went to church, But" said she on start
ing, "you must not build fire in the par
lori" With this injunction, she left the
house.
When she entered the front door, on her
return, the first sight that greeted her was
glaring fire in the parlor crate. "Who
made that fire?" she called out, but all
was silent. Upon closer investigation she
discovered the room to be still further
lighted by a beautiful hanging lamp
which her friends had brought her, and
which her husband had put in place
aye, and still further lighted by the smil-
ing cOuntenances of some thirty or forty
of her friends, who were ranged about
the room. Mrs. Price expressed herself
as ''dumbfounded" The crowd requested
Mrs. Fannie Martin, who possesses con-
address to the surprised lady, on behalf
Of the visitors, but the good lady declined.
AS we have before had occasion to re-
mark, Will. Price is never too much sur
prised to treat his friends handsomely,
and he at once proved himself master of
the situation. He in company with his
daughters Blanche and Alice treated the
company to some excellent vocal and in
strumental music, after which a bounti-
full supply of refreshments were served
under the direction of Miss Mollie Bur-
nett and Mr.. Prices daughter
Mrs. Price is thirty-fve years of age
just half of the allotted "three score and
ten." And this middle-aged woman. this
mother of a family, is the same Emeline
Swanson who used in the long ago to at
tend the same school with the writer of
this, in the Union School building. One
of our teachers has long since gone to his
reward. Others are seeking fortunes in
different localities. How swiftly fly the
years! We who attended school then
CQnOoinn1u h11f q foyu tuif
ness the attendance of new generation,
and Prof. Allison, the present popular
Superintendent of the Schools, was pres
ent at this party.
The company brought several neat
presents, passed an evening in splendid
enjoyment, and shortly after ten o'clock
p. m. wended their way to their several
| homes, and
The thoughts of that evening will ever remain,
Bright lines upon memorys page,
Misfortunes and cares may assail them in vair,
Nor will they be faded by age.
