MT and Mrs William Stuart have moved into their pleasant new house on Lane avenue Last Friday evening they were suddenly aroused and entirely sur- prlsed by the entrance of about 50 of their young friends armed with baskets l and bundles. Finding themselves the 1 host and hostess of so large a company, 1 they were soon entertaining them in the best possible manner. Mrs Mullins l new house is in process of erection near ! hu and t<,f4l ed, where MT Duncan already occupied the seat of honor, testing the strength \ of violin strings. At the first sound of music, ready feet began to move and the new house, empty short time ago, was now filled with lively inhabitants. | After while music stopped-mysteri- aroma of fragrant coffee filled the air. Couple by couple, all were seated in the Stuart parlors, where the midnight lunch was served. Dancing was then resumed and continued until the early birds be- gan to crow. The company went home, all feeling that the evening had been one of pleasure and social enjoyment that they had succeeded in warming up not only one house but two-and with best wishes for MT and Mrs Stuart Hope they will live long enough to veal out their house and build another.
