charivari party and with horns, bells
and the other instruments of torture
appropriate for such occasions went
to the residence on East Fourth and
might made "the night hideous"
with the music CD No response to
the serenade was ELECTED however
and the party was fearful that per-
haps the effort at entertainment was
not appreciated by the victims. They
We're considerably surprised therefore
when they were requested during
the day Saturday to meet at the Boyd
home on that evening to join in the
festivities that would he provided.
OF course all the musicians" were
present, without the instruments,
and the way the ice cream and cake

good to see The party lasted till a
late hour and everybody wished the
bride and groom lots of happiness
and good cheer in life.

the occasion being an ice cream Soc
ial given by the Ladies Aid society
of Belts. The time was spent In
visiting, listening to piano and vio-
lin music and everybody enjoyed
themselves to the utmost. About sew
enty five were present and no doubt
many were kept away by the pros
pect for rain in the early part of the
evening in fact the smart shower
about 10 O'Clock prevented quite a
number from starting for home at
that time, when the rain was over.
the dust was nicely laid, if there had
been any, and ample time remained
for the guests to reach home. Ice
cream in ~eXtravagantly generous
dishes was served, accompanied by
plenty of cake and a cup of hot cof-
fee. 1t was late when the company
broke up but
What eye with keen account re-
marks,
The ebbing of the glass,
When all its sands are diamond
sparks,
That dazzle as they pass"
