party at which Mrs. w. c. Hinton
entertained her Sunday school class
of bright girls complimenting her lit
tie niece, Miss Mary Gorley, of Glen

the children enjoyed a lovely music
program, then hied themselves to- the

time spent in this interesting search
for eggs, the jolly crowd gathered
their lunch baskets and went on a
hike to some nearby woods. After
many rambles for wild flowers the
company came together and lunch was
spread.
When lunch was over, the merry
party began its tramp homeward, the
girls giving many thanks to their
teacher, Mrs. Hinton, for such a splen-
did outing.
