A PHEASANT SURPRISE.
The 18th OF March being Mrs.
Johns birthday, some Of her lady
friends planned a surprise for her..
At 2 o'clock the ladies met at Mrs
Edington's and marched in body
to the residence Of Mrs. Johns.
But as tits proverbial that a wo-
IMAM can't keep a secret, Mrs. j
had gained an inkling Of the affair
and met the surprise with very,
smiling, happy face. Tiddle-de-
winks and Authors furnished
ammusement for the merry max
ers and only one little accident
happened, and that was SO slight
as to be hardly worthy Of mention
One lady got 50 excited over a game
of Tiddle-d -de-winks, that she sprang
up from her char and came down
! SO hard as to break the chair; I am
Isorry to say, almost beyond re-
pair. But she felt SO mortified
about it afterwards that it is hard
Ily fair TO mention it here. AT
an early hour in the afternoon
the Athena bank closed to enable
Messrs. Lively and Johns to attend
the surprise. They arrived just as
the ladies were about to sit down
to lunch and although some very
strong hints were thrown out that
! they weren't expected, after getting
q glimpse Of the long nicely spread
table in the dining room, they
concluded to stay and risk their
welcome and with their respective
wives graced each end of the table
The menu consisted of bread and
butter, coffee, with whipped cream
cakes, fruit meringues and confec,
tions. After lunch Mrs Lively
| placed the baby in Mr.. Lively't
arms and bade him 60 home, and
with an expression of meeknesl
and humility that would have
| done credit TO Mr. Lease, of Kan
sas, he obeyed. Mr.. Johns was
seen to sneak off in another direc
tion. and that was the last seen ol
4 the men. Mrs. Johns was the re
cipient Of a souvenir spoon from th,
ladies, presented by Mrs, Callen'
| der, also handsome plaque paint
ed with scene from Mt. Hood ant
the Columbia river from her sister
| and a check on the First Nationa
Bank duly filed out and signed b,
| Mr.. Johns.
