the surprise party on Father Philip
Dries given on Monday evening at ST.
Georges school hall.
Father Philip is very we'll liked by
all classes of the church, but he is a
special favorite of the young ladies of
the congregation and they took this
manner of showing their appreciation
Of his services.
The hall was prettily decorated for
the party and over two hundred young
ladies were present, the only members
of the sterner sex present were Fathers
Joseph, Henry and Philip Dries.
The surprise to Father Philip was
complete and it required several hours
for him to acquire his usual calmness.

games and delightful refreshments
were served about Ii o'clock, after
which Father Dries was presented with
a beautiful couch as token of the high
regard in which the young father is

elaborate, and testify to the artistic
skill of Mr.. Kupfer as a decorator.
