From Bolton

events Of the season was the party
given by Mrs. w. A. Clement on Mon
day evening for the choir of the First
baptist church. The house was love-
ly with its wealth of beautiful jon
uuls, cluny lace over yellow and love-
pot plants.

the choir the guests were all asked

back spelling book and asked to con-
duet spelling class. This furnished
a great deal Of amusement, but the
spelling bee which followed furnished
even more. Miss Francis Burnes and
Louis Secl were asked to choose sides
and then the real fun began as one
after another had to sit down as the
words grew harder and hardcr-and
those who have studied the old blue
back spelling book know how hard
some of those words are.
