A NEW YEAR SURPRISE.

There was a pleasant surprise to Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hendlix on the evening of the 1st of January, when friends and neighbors dropped in on them. The first caller had scarcely entered the hospit- able home before, as one of the chill dren exclaimed, lots of folks are com ing" and it dawned upon the unsuspect- ing host and hostess that they were the willing recipients of a genuine surprise party. The parlors were quickly filled with welcome guests, each of whom brought some dainty or substantial New Years offering. Quickly the surprised occupants of the quickly lighted home on Clayton Street were in the midst of them. as gay and young as the gayest and youngest of the crowd. Stiffness was as impossible as formality; laughter, chat. repartee, explanations, music and song resounded. and then, around the polished tables of the dining room the merry revelers enjoyed the piles of good things that looked as if Santa Claus had re- ceived belated stock and poured 1t down through the roof.
 At late hour all stood on the order of going and reluctantly left MT. and Mrs Hendrix smiling at the wide-open door of their happy home. If the frs day of 1902 is forerunner of the remaining 364 they will continue to enjoy the blessings of a gladsome family circle and hosts of friends.

At the place prepared for the hostess was the birth- day cake on which burned seven pink candles to be blown out by the very young lady who has lived among her friends for seven years.
