that would have been exactly what
my friend wanted If it had not been
the wrong color. The Virginia woman
wanted either blue or tan-colored
one, and she'd have to see both be-
fore she could decide which to take.
In the end the milliner agreed to make
up two hats Of the shape my friend

EASTER EGG HUNT.
The Little Folks Turned Out in Force
Last Sunday Afternoon.

w. l.. heulcK laSt SUNDAY after
noon to participate in the prom
ised egg hunt, eagerness and an
ticipation depicted on every face.
Many of the children were accom-
panied by their parents and rela-
tives, and others dropped in until
quite a large crowd had assembled
when Mr.. Redick opened the gate
leading to the orchard where the
hunt took place.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the chill
dren were lined up, and at the drop
of Mr.. Redick's hat they scattered
over the ground. Eggs were hid
den everywhere, and pretty soon
Give found one" rang out and this
was echoed from all parts Of the
ground as the children searched in
the grass, in holes and everywhere
all diligently seeking the nest of
seven golden eggs which called for
the single prize. This was found
by Ernestine Fry, little daughter
of Trustee and Mrs. e. e. Fry.
One of the happy features of the
hunt was the little tots, and it was
amusing to watch them and see the
happy smile on their little faces
when they found an egg and held
it up for mamma to see.
After the children were rested
the hunt was repeated and with
as much zest as before. Then the
little ones were given a hunt in
the yard, and they found the eggs,
too, in very short time.
The prize, pretty mug, was pre-
sented by Rev. E. B. Graham, who
made nice little talk to the chill
dren, in which he explained to
them the origin and meaning of
Easter Sunday and why we COM
memmorate it.
Theaffair was a decided success,
all enjoyed it hugely and nothing
occurred to MARI the pleasure of
the event. The following children
were present:
Orrin Lee Peeler, Annie Mai
Hassell, Phillip Travis, Charley
Wyatt, Harold Presson, Herbert
Redick, Charlotte Weatherly,. Fry
Hassell, Norine Maiden, Era Lee
Phillips, Hazel Hassell, Lois At
kins, Mamie Hatley, Jim Frank

Hubbs, Lottie Mai Phillips, Angy
Steele, Loreen Morris, Irene Fry,
Robert Travis, Rae Morris, Cyril
Hudson, Fred Presson, Vorice Fry,
Johnnie Bell Hatley, Janice Fry,
Herman Presson and Reba Redick.
At the same time another egg
hunt was in progress at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. McElyea,
where the larger boys and girls
participated.
There was large crowd pres
ent, the majority of when were
children. The prizes were eager
ly sought by the hunters, but the
eggs had been well concealed, and
it afforded much amusement to
watch the youngsters, many of
whom sought in vain for the col
ored trophies Of the barn yard.
When the hunt had been con-
cluded, lit was announced that Sula
johnson had secured first prize,
Reuel McGill second prize and
Wendell Hubbs third prize.
The home of Mrs. Bette Thom-
as was the scene of another egg
hunt, where quite number of
children of all ages took part.
The radiant, happy faces and mer-
ry peals Of laughter was sure In
dication that the children had a
glorious time. Allwished for many
! returns of the happy occasion.
