A Birthday Party.

The W: c. I. L. OF Stroudwater planned
surprise party for our national presi-
dent on the evening of March LIST.
With reckless disregard oI consequences
the weather proceeded to furnish the first
surprise and all day She rain fell in tor

even for stout hearted white ribbOners.
About eight O'Clock. however. number

Mrs. Stevens house while she was in
nocently beguiled into popping corn over
the log fire in the sitting-room-
The evening was delightful one with
our lmpromptu program in which the
red letter feature predominated. On
behalf Of the Union the president pre-
scented Mrs. Stevens with a handsome
case in which to file The Union Signal.

and she was told that the members OF
the Union had also been securing new
subscribers to our official organ, as they
knew this would be most acceptable
birthday gift, since 1t would help spread
knowledge of our principles and work.
Sentiments from Tennyson. Browning.
Lowell, 'Longfeliow. Whittier and other
poets were read BY each one Of the COM
pany present and given to Mrs. Stevens
in red letters that she might see her
self as Others see her \ little jingle
prepared for the occasion was read while

words and deeds could not be for herself
but for the blessed ". {. 7. L.. which
she hoped to serve more faithfully be-
cause of their loving kindness.
An adjournment to the dining-rOom re-
veaied a table PRETTY decorated, in red
cake on which Nv c. T. L. proudly
cleaned in tiny red candles. Chocolate
was served in cups made in the days
when our great grandmothers were
young.

Woman's Supr, macy.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Herald, writing of the exclusion
of Roberts of Utah. from the National
House Of Representatives, grows enthu-
sastic over the part that the good WON

He says that the good women of the
country showed the mighty power If
