surprise for her husband Monday eve
ming, on the anniversary of his ffticth
birthday, by inviting eleven of his as
sociates in the Wilson mill to a six
o'clock turkey dinner. All the de-
tails of the affair were so cleverly ar
ranged that the surprise was COM
plete. A most delicious course din
ner was served. Beside the fine bak-
ed turkey and "fxings," the birthday
fruit cake, baked some time before,
is worthy of mention. This cake was
built in the shape of a pyramid, on
top of which were fifty candles light
ed. The contents of this fine cake
were all that could be desired, accord
ing to the verdict of the guests. The
dining-room was decorated with ros-
es, yellow daisies, and profusion of
greenery, as were the parlor and sit
ting rooms. At six o'clock the guests
had arrived and the lights were shad-
ed, only the glow from the candles
giving light. The guests were Messrs.
F. H. and A. E. Wilson, w. P. Mer-
riam, H. F. Lecks, Arthur Corcoran,
Kelley Reynolds, Charles Grimm. AL
bert Trombley, George NJ. Boyd, A. S.

ed him with mission rocker. The
guests spent the evening with their
host and hostess, leaving at a late
hour and heartily in accord in the vcr-
dict that they had enjoyed most de-
lightful occasion, through the gener-
osity Of their hostess.
