AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The choir of the M. E. Church
gave their leader, Oscar East, a de-
lightful surprise Tuesday night the
occasion being his 9th birthday.
After an unusually interesting choir
practice at the church he was con-
Quoted to the parsonage where he was
taken in charge by the male members
and put under the bed in celebration
of the event. When he emerged he
was conducted to the dining room
where the gorgeous birthday cake
lighted by twenty seven candles had
been placed upon the table. The
cake had ribbon for each guest isSu-
ing from the center and each guest
had to cut slice. Ask some who
were present what all was hidden.
therein.
After the burst of merriment cauS-
ed by the general Slicing and its re-
suits had somewhat subsidized, delic-
ious refreshments consisting Of lemon
ice, cake and homemade candy were
served by the hostess, Mrs. Burton
and others
Then Mr.. East was ushered into
the parlor where he was presented
with several nice gifts from the choir
in grateful acknowledgement of their
appreciation of his faithful services
as director of the choir.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in pleasant conversation and
singing.
Those present were: MesdameS
VIM. Yarmouth, Forrest Groves, Jim
Austin, Carl VickerS, George Mrs
Armstrong, Eliza Yarmouth and ]. L.
Burton; Misses Leila and Ethel East,
Annie Clark Fay, and Fairy Bur.
ton; MesSrS VIM. Yarmouth, Earl
East, Forrest Groves, Noble Clark
and Oscar East.
AT a late hour the guests took
their departure, all wishing Oscar
many happy returns of the days. AS
the whole affair was such delight
full surprise to HIM it is needless to
add he wouldn't object if birthdays
came quite often.

Fashions for Americans

Hand painted shoes have now ar
rived, To accompany, in the sartorial
procession, hand painted hats. para
soils. belts and handbags. High boots
OF white glazed kid or with white
kid uppers carry sprays OF flowers
or other designs nand painted on
their snowy surface.
Without doubt. however. the
vogue for this particular item OF ap
parel is more q fad than fashion,
and hand painted shoes are by no
means recommended for general
wear, or even suggested for occa-
sional use by the woman who must
count her dollars and cents-unless
perchance she can paint the shoes
herself. Bought ready for use they
are rather expensive.
One pair of painted shoes seen
recently carried email bluebirds. an

Cool Little Cuffs
for Hot Days

What would we do without the
cuffs and collars and little frills OF
organdy or wolfe which makes us

White collars and CUTS are 20
easily solled. some wise one has de
vised the crisp, pretty things in col
ors--old blue. maize. or light green.
The frilly things I've sketched
here are In old blue chiffon cloth,
very sheer and delicate with little
rufnes Of white organdy. Slipped
on with n tailored suit OF pongee,
crash. serge. they loog cool and
fresh on the "muggiest" summer
day.
