PAID A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO HER HELP
FULNEss-sHE EXPECTS TO LEAVE
TOWN TO-DAY.
Mrs Lyman Abbott was completely taken by sur.
prise yesterday afternoon when about l:30 o'clock
the bell rang, and instead Of one guest a large
number Of the women OF Plymouth entered and
announced that they had come TO bid her goodby.
While she was listening TO the many kindly ex-
pressions Of regret and regard table was being
quietly spread behind tail screen in the extension.
On It's lace-edged cover was placed beautiful
silver tea set OF six pieces. including bonbon
DISH all bearing the letters "A F. H. A." which
are Mrs. Abbotts initials The cards Of the glvers
were concealed beneath purple orchids and maiden
hair fern. Presently this table brought
forward, and Mrs. Charles N Judson told Mrs.
Abbott OF the love that had always been felt for
her In the church. OF the afectonate interest that
would always follow her. and OF the deep sorrow
felt at parting Then Mrs Kate Epson Clarke
stepped forward. saying in her Jolly way that she
was specially sorry TO lose Dr.. and Mrs Abbott be-
cause she had been brought up on the Abbott
sioryoooks. and TO her DR.. and Mrs. Abbott al
ways represented Rolla and Lucy. She found her
self talking TO them like old friends from the first
meeting because OF this. and had never been able
to get the idea out of her mind that they were
really her Old playmates.
After the laughter had subsided Mrs Abbott
delegated the reply TO DR.. Abbott. saying he was
much more accustomed to public speaking than
she. This gave him opportunity 10 pay loving
and graceful tribute to his wife who had. he said,
always been his most critical listener. 1T is not
often said the doctor. that man in public life
has opportunity 70 tell what his wife has been 10
him. but want to say that wherever we have been
placed our successes have been ours-neither mine
nor hers-we have always planned things out to-
gether."
When Mrs Abbott examined the dainty set the
housewife came uppermost. She looked into the
faces about her took up the tea pot and said: you
ought to have let me know. They are all empty,
and it is pity that hadn't something to put in
them for you"
Mrs Abbott expects to leave town this morning,
and will not return until time to pack up for the
usual summer trip to Cornwall-on- Hudson .
Dr. Abbott also received a parting gift from the
men OF the church, but that was quietly given at
Christmas. 1t consisted OF four large and richly
bound copies OF Tssots pictures Of THE Christ"
