ing. There was a good attendance
and the evening was spent in games.
The guessing games were entered into
w'th enthusiasm. The peanut race
was a test of conscientious scruples of
Methodist and Presbyterian, and ap-
peared to be a tie. After a delicious

bread sandwiches, olives, pickles, cot
fee, pineapple sherbet and cake, the

The men who enjoyed the dinner of
Mrs. N. E. Comp a few days ago when
they stacked their fodder took their
wives and dropped in on Mr.. and Mrs.
Comp Saturday afternoon to give them
a little surprise. Though Mrs. Comp
thought that in these days of tele-
phones it was the height of discour-
tesy to drop in for a visit without noti-
flying the victim, she gave them a
hearty welcome, and after several
trips to her dressing succeeded
in completing a toilet in which she
felt justified in appearing before her
guests. A few games were played, and
social conversation enjoyed. The
guests presented Mr.. and Mrs. Comp
a water set, it being Mrs. Comps

freshments of sandwiches, salads,
pickles. ice cream and cake, and each

quence of the good time.
