Mr.. Peltz Gets a Surprise.

The choir of Grace Lutheran

surprise on the evening of July 5th,
The choir met at the home of Mrs.

at o'clock for the home Of their
director, Mr.. Charles J. Peltz, on the
New Windsor road, about two miles
from this city. They were met by the
Boy Scout Band who had proceeded
them and when in sight of the home
OF Mr. Peltz, the Band played the
piece the First Regiment Band made
popular, The Old Gray Mare" and
marched to the house. 1t was quite
a surprise. They were met by Mr.. Peltz
and family and friends and the pres
ents were then unwrapped. They
were numerous and quite varied and
created much amusement as there
was anything from chewing gum to
safety matches. He was then pre-
sented with a box of cigars by the
Boy Scout Band, and as the birthday
cake was unwrapped, pastor Hetrick
began the presentation speech and
presented a beautiful ring set with
the birthstone for the month of July
"a ruby. Games were then INDUCED
in after a concert by the Band. To
say they spent a pleasant evening

social evenings with the music en-
joyed are rare treats. Quite large

were there At late hour refresh
