pie supply with them. The balance Of
the day was spent in talking and laugh
ing and at supper oysters were brought
from their hiding place and this good
lady was compelled to confess that she
did not know about the extra supper
which completed the exceedingly pleas
ant day. All wished Mrs. Lyle many
returns Of the day and left feeling happy
that they had helped make merry for
this kind neighbor, friend and relative.
Those present were: Mrs. Mary Mar
TIN, Of Oklahoma, sister Of Mrs. Lyle !.
A. Avery and wife, John Williams and
Mrs. OTIS Williams and children, Miss
