Last Wednesday evening Miss Nor
ma Edmonds and her brother, Hobart,
were agreeably surprised by having a
group of about twenty of their friends
come in upon them Unexpectedly to
celebrate the sixteenth anniversary of
their birth. Mrs. Edmonds had insti-
gated the surprise and was therefore
fully prepared for the evening. After
the entire party had gathered, the
ones to be surprised walked in to the
room, not having, it appeared, sus-
pected any such good turn. A most
delightful evening was spent by all
present. Various games were played,
after which refreshments were served.
Toward the end of the evening all
joined in songs. Final congratula-
tions of the day were then expressed
to the sweet sixteeners and the guests
returned to their homes.
