stone.

About twenty-five relatives and
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Argu1t Lieder
gathered at their home to help cele-
brate the birthday of Mr.. Lieder on
February Is. The guests came with
well filled baskets and at eight o'clock
all sat down to bountiful repast.
After supper they listened to a short
address and original poem by Carl Paw
lisch. The remainder of the evening
was spent in visiting and singing of old
German folk songs. Max Pawlisch,
Stanley Hayes and Reinholdt Lieder
favored the gathering with some very
good music. At eleven o'clock the
guests departed wishing their host
many more happy returns of his birth
day.
This was Mr.. Lieder's eightieth
birthday. He is exceptionally hale and
hearty for one of his age.
