SURPRISE RECEPTION. The residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence E. Frost, Cedar street,
was the scene Of a genuine surprise reception
last Monday night. AS Mr.. Frost was return
ing about p. m. from his evening visit with
beings assembled upon the front piazza, laden
with boxes. baskets, buckets. etc and heard
whispered ordinations of That's Pa;'
'Where shall we go?" "What shall we do?"
Taking in the situation he said, "Why, go in
side of course" Then it was Mrs. Frost who
was to be the victim, and little later, hearing
noise IN the front hall, she went to investi-
gate. and on opening the door, happy outbursts
of Hello Ma" intermingled with joyous
greetings, resounded as the Jolly Nine" took
possession of the house. About 10 o'clock the
dining room was thrown open and "Pa and
Ma" were invited in. The decorations were
beautifully carried out in pink and white.
The first course consisted of crab meat salad
on lettuce leaves, ham, peanut butter and
plain sandwiches and olives. Then midget"
and "Gaggy" quickly cleared the table and
brought in the second course of fancy cookies
and cocoa. The lights were then turned off,
leaving the silver candelabra with its burning
tapers in the center of>the table for illumina-
ton, and "Goo-Goo" appeared with three
layer marshmallow cream cake. bearing forty
eight lighted pink candles. and placed it in
front of "Pa" in observance of his birthday,
with directions to cut and serve the same.
After some comment as to the size of the
pieces the happy company were served. The
entire evening was spent in playing checkers,
carroms and music. and at a late hour the
children" said good night. Those present
Of the Jolly Nine" were Ethel Frost, Dora
Brown. Gladys Marshall. Marian Brown, Fred
Seward, Charles Getchell and "Ma Frost"
~Margie Blake and Mr.. Frost are known as
"Guests." The only regret for the evening
was the absence of two MEMBERS Miss Clara
Palm of Brooklyn. N. Y, and Byron NJ Salter.
The Frost residence is always open for the
"Jolly Nine" and guests. and many happy
hours are spent together by the congenial
young people OF the Methodist society.
