that of Friday night, when by previous
arrangement a number of the friends
of Mrs. Hosmer Fowler met and in a
body repaired to her home on Fifth
street, prepared for a social evening in
honor of Mrs. Fowler's fifty-third birth
day. SO well had the ladies kept their
secret that it was only when they en-
tered the house that their intentions
were surmised by the occupants They
had a very cordial reception and spent
several hours together most pleas
antly. Before retiring the tables were
set with the good things brought by
the party and all sat down to the re-
