The Utopian Society of the Presby-
terrain church enjoyed delightful par
ty at the hospitable Jamison home
southeast of the city, Tuesday after
noon, the guests of Misses Jessie and
SADIE Jamison. A delightful time was
Experienced by every member Of the
party participating. The ladies took
their fancy work and sewing, but this
was the part of the program least
thought about. There was small OPP
portunity for such work when SO good
a time was calling from all other di-
rections. A delightful luncheon was
served by the Misses Jamison and the
afternoon was filled with pleasurable
events, The gathering was the happi-
est event of the socitey this season
and was thoroughly enjoyed by those
so fortunate as to be present. And then
than good old fashioned romp in the
country.
A pleasant surprise was held at the
Elroy, 215 North A street, in honor
of their birthdays. There being two
years difference in the sisters ages
they have the honor of celebrating
their birthdays on the same date. The
surprise planned by their mother was
complete, but the girls were equal to
the occasion and the evening was
spent in games and music. Dainty re-
lfreshments were served and all depart
ed at late hour wishing the girls
many more happy birthdays.

Many of the members of the United
Presbyterian church and their friends
had most enjoyable picnic Friday at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Henry,
which is located on the Des Moines
river, about eight miles from Oskaloo-
sa. All who had conveyances drove
out to the home The others went on
the train. In the forenoon a game OF
ball was played by the young people,
Ralph Gossage and Elmer Gilchrist
acting as captains and the pastor as
umpire. The result of the game was
ten to five in favor of Elmer Gilchrist's
team. At twelve o'clock the dinner
was spread on the lawn under the
beautiful shade trees in front of the
Henry home and a bounteous dinner
it was, for all had brought well filled
baskets. After dinner Mr.. Henry
brought into the yard a load of water
melons that he had brought fresh from
the patch. We had all eaten of the
good things spread before us until we
icould scarcely rise from the table, but
when the melons were cut open no
one could help but make war on them
\ for they were delicious. The after.
noon was spent in many pleasant and
profitable ways. The two daughters
of the home, who have ben attending
college at Monmouth, ILL.,. entertained
us with instrumental and vocal music
and several of the guests present also
\ favored us with instrumental music.
The rest of the day was spent in the
fields, horseback riding. boating, swim
ming etc. We returned to our homes
late in the evening after spending one
of the most enjoyable outings we ever
had, but before we left a vote of
thanks was rendered the Henry family
for their generous hospitality and for
all their kindnesses during the entire
day, thus making it day long to be
remembered by all present.
The st, James Episcopal Social Club
