Well, you're far from being a graybeard; and

a few hours IN the atmosphere of their
grandmothers. The ladies were more
than gracious in their response. and for
the first time in the history of the club,
which is ten years old, there was not a
regret.
The house was decorated galore with
old tie scarfs, tides, knots of any hued
ribbons, vases of hOuqets, that would
put a cabbage head to shame for firm
ness. and the old time work basket Of
patchwork was very much in evidence
The guests were invited to a one
O'Clock dinner, so promptly at the hour
| the dining room doors were thrown
open TO the astunished gaze Of the as
senbled company. Old castors. pickle
dishes, fruit holders, and old blue
dishes together with all the food tout
ensemble. " From this "loaded" table
was served chicken pie. mashed potato
piled high on al old blue platter. ''spar-
rowgrass, cottage cheese, preserves,
pickles and black berry pie.
After the dinner the guests at.
tempted to play whist, but the rules
observed would have made "Hol /"
green with envy.
Mrs. Hanson was assisted by her
sister, Mrs. NJ. z. Donnell, of TIE
Dales, Mrs. Rob Perigo, Mrs. VIM.

guests were Mesdames Brosius, Otter

Lucas the consolation. The ladies dc.
clared the afternoon one of the most
! pleasant they had ever experienced.
