I Friday evening the house party
guests Of Mrs. B. y. Sheldon enjoyed
sleigh ride in the good old fashioned
way. on hay rack well filed with
straw For some Of the young ladies
/ il was their first ride and TO say that
they enjoyed il is putting il mildly.
Even the thermometer being near zero
failed 10 chin their ardor. Hot coffee
and sandwiches we're enjoyed at Mrs.
r. NJ. Campbells upon their return.
The annual oyster supper Of the
Congregational Society Of Dorset and
East Rupert was held in the vestry Of
the church last Thursday evening and
was well attended as is evinced by the
fact that the net proceeds amounted
TO $5765. The oyster stew seemed TO
have a flavor that would be hard 10
beat anywhere, and everyone knows
Of the delectable things that are al
ways provided by the Dorset house
wives.
The festivities of the house party
which has been in progress for the
past 10 days at the home Of Mrs. b. B.
Sheldon at North Main street, were
brought to a close on Monday Of this
week by the return Of four young
ladies TO their homes in Brooklyn,
they being Mis- Edith Chaplin, Miss
Gwendolin Haines, Miss Margaret
Berry, and Miss Grace Powers. Mrs.
Harry Gather Of Hartford, Conn, is
TO remain several days longer with
Mrs Sheldon.
Wednesday evening last, Mr.. and
Mrs. Berniss Sheldon gave an informal
dance at school hall in honor Of her
house party guests. The hall had
been tastefully decorated with ever
greens and pennants, while red and
white streamers stretched between the
chandeliers added greatly to the cozy
appearance. The stage also had been
hung with portierres and large Am
erican flag Music was furnished by a
Victrola with all the latest dance rec
ords, including the now famous Tip
errary marching song Of the Allies.
Delicious refreshments were served at
the usual time and dancing continued
until quite late hour. The guests
voted the evening one of the most
pleasant of the winter and we trust
that other affairs of a similar nature
may be given in the near future.
