rounded by his descendants. Present

boy Irl of FennimOre, and his daugh-

About twenty of Mr.. and Mrs. d. A.
Domains friends were privileged to
enjoy their hospitality Monday even
ing, and help them properly observe
their fifteenth wedding anniversary.
1t was an entirely informal and thor
Oughly enjoyable affair. The game of
800" was engaged in and Mrs. John
Henkel carried off the hOnOrs, while
VIM. Brintnall won the BOBBY, dandy
big marble, which we know our boys
would have liked for a shooter. But |
what Will lacked in the game he more
than made up in song. We claim to
have discovered him as a singer OF
rare ability and sweetness. He can
no longer hide his light. Neither can
Mrs. Agnes LOmas, who accompanied I
him beautifully. The Domains are
great entertainers. A most elegant |
luncheon was prepared and beautiful |
ly served by Miss Mabel Horton. The /
party broke up at an early hour, un-
in the opinion that the Don
mans had provided one of the most en-
jOyable occasions for them all. May
they live long and prosper.
