One Of the best times ever, was the
house warming rendered Mr.: and Mrs.
E. H. Mann by their neighbors last
Friday evening. The party was sup
posed to be surprise but some men,
Der had let fall an incautious remark
earlier in the week which E. II. inter-
preted, and when the party arrived
they found Mr.. and Mrs. Mann COM
posedly awaiting their arrival and
instead of the usual CONSERVATION
shown by the host and hostess upon
such an occasion, the party was greet
ed with the remark: "What kept you
so long? We've been ready and
waiting for nearly an hour" The eve
ming was pleasantly passed with dane
ing and cards and at midnight refresh
ments were served. Wishes for the
, continued prosperity and happiness
of the family in their new bungalow
were freely expressed by the crowd
when they left in the wee sma' hours.
There were thirty-five present.
