When thirty members of the st.
Simeon's Guild appeared at the home
of Mrs. James Gibson, Lincoln avenue,
near the beach, last Friday night, the
suddeness of it quite took her breath
for few moments. >fl was genuine
surprise in honor of Mrs. Gibson's
fifty-fifth birthday, given by her many
friends, and the occasion was a most
pleasant one. The evening passed
quickly in social diversions stimulated
by music and dainty repast at a late
hour. The Guild presented Mrs. Gib-
son with handsome rug and she was
the recipient of many other appropriate
gifts. Anoag those present weEa Mr.

There is someone ON Five Mile Beach
who is evidently very fond of bicycles
-epecially other peoples. Several
wheels have disappeared mysteriously
during the last few months, the last
one being that of Thos. T. Townsend,
of Oak avenue, Wildwood. This habit
or practice or whatever it may be called,
of taking bicycles and falling to return
them had better be stopped or the
offenders will surely come in touch
with stern justice sooner or later.
Miss Rae Lewellen, of Oaklyn, is
spending sometime with her grand
parents Mr.. and Mrs. James Litchell,
on Rio Grande avenue.
