bent upon surprising her, as she was soon
to leave for Springfield, this state, to en-
gage in the millinery business. The OBJ

though that did not interfere with the en-
joyment of the occasion. Games were
played and refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served.
The occasion of the sd birthday of II.
L. Pierce, which occurred last Saturday.
was taken by Mrs. Pierce to give him a

That the surprise was genuine was patent
to all. Four tables of whist were played
throughout the evening, the honors going
to Miss Bridgeman of Keene and Frank
Clarke. Refreshments of ice cream and
cake, as well as the other features of the
occasion, were thoroughly enjoyed.
The Relief corps and Greenwood post
have arranged to hold their meetings sim
ultaneously in the same building. 1t is
the outcome of a movement which was in
augurated by the ladies of the corps owing
to their constantly increasing numbers
and the necessarily decreasing numbers of
the post, and is a movement which we
cheerfully commend to similar organiza-
tions throughout the country, as the
amount of sociability which the arrange
ment insures is a matter of no little i'm
portance. The first meeting under the
new plan was held Tuesday evening, after
which the corps invited the post to ban
quet with them as a fitting celebration of
the event.
