day morning for Mns Joseph RodeS,
Mrs. Beulah Harris Yancy and MI.
Ed. williams, who gave the town such
a delightful musical treat on Tuesday
night at the Methodist church. BY
request, some OF the numbers were
repeated at Mrs. JeSse's, after which
refreshments and conversation made
the morning pass most pleasantly.
on wednesday evening, Miss Elaine
Sflyerstein gave a party to some OF
her little friends. Afixing the tail to
a doEkey pictured in a large canvas,
vas the main sport Of the evening.
Among the girls, Louise johnson
shone pre-eminent at this and re-
ceiyed for her accurate knowledge OF
a donkey's anatomy a pretty basket OF
lcandy. Earl Moore, OF the boys, was
not afraid to venture q enough to
the donkey's heels to present him
with a tail and for the bravery car
ried home with him a ball and bat.
Ice cream and cake were the refresh
mepts and all showed themselves
equally proficient in the art Of stow
ing ii away.
Master Cave and Miss Frances
Johnston gave a party on Tuesday
evening to some ifty II their friends
They spent three hours very happily,
playing, drop the handkerchief, wink,
clap in. clap out, ETC., and making TO
disappear much punch, ice cream and
cake. This form Of enjoyment seems
to be in the atmosphere Of the john
son home. We well remember one
New Years night some years ago,
when a party Of people, not as young
as they once were, played these games
with as keen pleasure as did Cave and
Frances.
