they will make a short visit,
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Friend
afterward going to their future
home at Los Angeles, Califor-
mia. The early part of the
morning was spent in exchange
of social chat and jokes by all,
until our hostess invited us to
the dining room, where she had
prepared a bountiful and ele-
giant repast, which to say all
did justice to, would be putting
it mi dly. A bevy of ladies as
sisted Mrs. Wright serve, among
whom were Mrs. Nellie Will
liams, Garnet and Mae Bailey,
Mrs. Haldeman, Ida Friend.
Afterward social chat was again
resumed and enioyed. al O the

Mrs. Nellie Williams. After
tea the gentlemen retired to a
separate room to smoke and en-
joy jollying Frank last time.
Mrs. Friend was likewise sur
rounded by lady friends who
were all enjoying a quiet visit
and popcorn. Ere the guests
were aware, the clock was
about to peal forth the mid
night hour, so bidding Mr.. and
Mrs. Friend, Master Robin and
VIM. Dowers Godspeed and an
enjoyable journey, and that
they may like their new home
and that Mrs. Friends's health
may be so improved before an
other New Year glides around
that they may return to their
old home and friends, the party
departed for home. Mrs. Friend
many years has been a success
full, noble Christian worker
both in school, church and to
our whole neighborhood in gen.
eral, loved and respected by all.
Though absent she will be long
remembered, as she leaves a
good influence behind her. Mr..
Friend always had a smile and
jolly good word for all and will
be missed by his circle of
friends, also Master Robin by
his little playmates. The fol-
