Four surprise parties in two evenings
were social episodes of last week. The
first party was on Monday evening on the
occasion of the birthday of Mrs. A. c. Cole,
when about a dozen of her lady friends
called on her and helped her celebrate the
event. Later the same evening friends
gathered at the home of Miss Winifred
Williams to say ood-by to her and to pull
molasses candy before her departure to
Albany, n. Y. 1t was ascertained that
Prof. A. c. Coles birthday came the next
day and the men, determined not to be out
done by the women, repaired to his apart
ments at the academy dormitory during
his absence in the evening, spread the table
and had surprise ready for him when he
came in. The ladies in turn "capped the
climax" by appearing to the men at sup
| per and thus perpetrating a surprise
on surprise. However, having
gotten their treat they withdrew before the
time for washing the dishes. 1t is reported
that the rising generation were disap-
pointed that Master Cecil's birthday did
not come the next day so that they might
have had their turn at holding a surprise.
