There was a unique and enjoyable
celebration at 2S3 Scenic Drive on
Friday afternoon given by Prof and
Mrs. H. G. Gilmore in honor of Mrs.
Emily |. Bingham passing another
milestone in her earthly career. The
visitors comprised old and newly
formed friends, and Mrs. Gilmore
spared neither trouble nor expense
in providing menu and table decor
ations. The birthday cake with lib
eral candle illuminations and in strict
compliance with Hooverian instruc-
tions, was a thing of beauty and an
appetizing and dainty contribution
not soon to be forgotten. Two read
ings, several brilliant organ numbers
and a specially-prepared pen and ink
character sketch of the visitors con-
stituted Prof. Gilmore's effort to
make merry old and . well tried
friends. The sketch stands out so
uniquely as a local creation that in
response to several requests the fol-
lowing liberal extracts are taken from
Prof. Gelmore's happily conceived
pictures:
Mrs. Emily Bingham has been in
this world good many years. Came
over in the Mayflower and narrow
ly escaped being seasick off Long Is
land Sound, but the intervention of
Miss Pygall, her bodyguard, prevent
ed disastrous results both of mind
and body. Mrs. Bingham is lady
of pacific intentions and loses self
control only when confronted with
the barbaric acts of Kaiser Bill and
his gang of atrocious malefactors.
Miss Pygall, age not yet certified
to, Is capital talker and, from her
youth up, has always hugged the
truth in no uncertain fashion. If
she likes an individual she shows il
with unerring accuracy, while II 9TH
erwise, she spares no bones in say
ing, Good evening, my friend, I'll
see you later after I've taken your
case under advisement. change my
mind sometimes about both persons
and things so there you are up in
the air for the present, at least
Mrs. Emily Stevens is name
to be conjured with. A gentleman
wrote me the other day from Long
Beach, Cal, that If there ever was a
pleasant and agreeable lady, brimful
of intelligence living in Ashland, Mrs.
Stevens richly deserved that distinc-
tion About Mrs. Stevens precise age
the poets most provokingly maintain
dead silence and, without another
word, | propose following their ex-
ample.
Mrs. Caldwell, who halls from
Denver, has made the acquaintance
of a good many personages-tha
crowned heads of Europe-but with
1t all has never lost the proper use
of her own head. A daughter in the
person Of Mrs. j. Hockett, the sweet
singer of Ashland, occupies a corner
in the same abode, and with her three
attractive children does ne prettiest
in both poetry and song to bring sun
