 Miss Josephine Root was very much surprised at the residence of her par ents, Judge and Mrs. c. G. Root, Wash sngton Heights. Monday evening, by the unexpected appearance of some twenty of her friends. The party. which was largely of ladies, was gotten up by teachers in the Lincoln school, Bridgeport, and was very warmly re- ceived by Miss Root, who very quickly recovered from her first surprise. Af- ter the party had been made comforta- ble some excuse was brought up for sending Miss Root up stairs. When she came down again all her guests stood about the foot of the stairs and as she came near them she was the target for a shower of bundles and packages, each guest having one or more in her hands. When Miss Root recovered from this second surprise the opening of the packages began and every one con- tained some linen article ranging from the daintiest of doilies to good substan- sial articles for household use, and there was a large collection of these Articles altogether. This part of the evenings pleasures over the rest was spent in having a fine time, in which music and an excellent luncheon occu- pied no small part.-Bridgepor Stan dard.
