the guest having the answer to
be her partner. The guests were
then taken into the dining room,
which was most beautifully dec
Grated with violets and jorquils,
and told to kiss the Barney Stone
a task so difficult that only a few
succeeded. The dining table was
a thing of beauty as a. lake with
its messy banks.
In the library joEquils and
shamrock were used as decor
atoms After several games Of
Forty-TWo Mrs. Marmon gave a
reading in the Irish dialect and
Misses Hattie Lee Hood and
Irna Harper sang Irish love

etc. aa souvenirs.
In cutting for the prize Mrs.
George Mitchell won the hand
painted plate in Shamrock, ard
Mrs. Douglass Hood the c%onsola-
ton, a beautiful bunch OF jon
hquils.
The efasive good-byes assured
the hostess her party had been a
most delightful success.

exceedingly to give up MI. and
Mrs. Coffee, who so cheerfully
and willingly assisted in the class
work, having at various times
filled offices of trust and honor
in our class.
I'd. That we wish to assure
them that they will be sadly
missed in our pleasant class
associations-in fact no one else
can ever fill their vacant places.
We assure them also that they
will ever be held in the tenderest
Christian love and esteem by
their Wesley classmates, whose
prayers will continually follow
them.
81. That we are glad they
are not going among strangers
but tina. their removal to Selma
is a return to their old home,
where We are sure they have
found a cheerful welcome in the
church and among old friends
and relatives. We trust that this
separation will only be for while
and that MFR. and Ms. Coffee
will at some time In the near
future renew their class aSsocia

these associations never again be
renewed with them on earth we
trust that we shall all meet
