Mrs. Robt. Harper conceived
the idea of surprising her hus-
band on his birthday by prepar-
ing a banquet and inviting a few
of his friends. She called to her
aid Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison of
Fowler. Mr.. Morrison was used
as decoy to keep Mr.. Harper
down town until the guests could
be assem- bled. The surprise
was complete and the 3-course
dinner was one of the kind that
Mrs. Harper is capable of serv-
ing, and it can be truthfully said
she did not loose her reputation
in this attempt, for it was simply
immense. After dinner the
guest repaired to the porch and
lawn and spent a few hours in
social ways, after that they. bid
their Host and Hostess goodbye
wishing them many happy birth
days like this, to follow.
