lain, assisted by her sister, Miss
Nelson, treated her husband 1st-
Sergeant Chamberlain Co. A. 4th
Infantry to a surprise which en-
abled him to pay his respects to
select number of his male friends,
before his departure for the Philip
pines, where he anticipates remain
ing eight years, at the end of which
period he will retire from active
service in the Army, and settle
down and begin life as a civilian.
If Sergeant and Mrs. Chamber
lain can endure this separation, he
will be but Sc years of age when he
will have 80 years service to his
credit, owing to service in the Phil
ippines, counting double.
Their many friends wish them
good luck and safe journeys as they
both leave US shortly, the Sergeant
going to Manila, with his COmpa-
ny, and Mrs. Chamberlain, her two
little boys, and her sister, returning
to her home in Chicago, Illinois.
Those present were Mr.. Sharp,
the post Blacksmith; Sergeant Ma
ior Ingram, 4th. Infantry; Commits
sary Sergeant Grum, Subsistence
Department; Ordnance Sergeant
Hopkins, Ordnance Department;
Hospital Steward Krause, and Act
ing Hospital Steward Mason, Med
zeal Department, LIST. Sergeant
Maher, and Company Quartermas-
ter Sergeant Lloyd, Company c,
4th. Infantry, and Private Dobbs,
Clerk, Company A, 4th. Infantry.
The surprise was as complete, as
successful. Just after dark Mrs.
Chamberlain and her sister remem-
bered that they had some shopping
to do, to carry them over Sunday
and induced the Sergeant to stay at
home with his two little boys while
they ran down town. They evident
| ly did run for in less than an hour
they had their party together and
returned home, where they found
the Sergeant in his shirt sleeves
and old slippers on the parlor floor
plawing peek-a-boo with the little
ones. 1t was some time before he
could realize "what was doing"
but when he did he acknowledged
the surprise and proceeded to en-
terrain his guests to perfection.
Cards were brought out and the
game "Razzle- Dazzle" introduced
and INDUCED in, varied by drink
ing each others healths, and smok-
ing Henry George cigars, up to
i11.45 p. m, at which time Private
Dobbs was crowned champion, and
an elegant lunch was served. Mrs.
Chamberlain and Miss Nelson did
the honors to perfection. The lunch
consisted of cold beef and pickle
sandwiches, deviled ham and cheese
sandwiches, excellent cake and de-
licious coffee. The wine, beer, cigars
and cards "went way back and sat
down." while the lunch was being
discussed. Everybody was toast
master and much wit was set ahoat,
in fact the amount was surprising
even at a surprise party. After
lunch the Henry George was again
produced and the pipe of peace was
INDUCED in, and at Ito Sunday
morning, after voting Mrs. Cham
berlain and her sister the persenifi-
cation of perfection in surprises.
