further inform me- The first thing l noted was the
beauty Of the cases. They simple and in very
good taste. After playing two three vocal and
instrumental records, which only strengthened my
favorable impression OF the instrument tone the
salesman said, Nov I'll show you the Graduola,
which makes the Vocation different from all other

Putting in record of Sweet and Low, he drew
a slender flexible tube of the instrument and took
the little metal device with which it terminated in
bus hands.

HOME HAPPENINGS
A WELCOME PAPER

Many letters are being received
from the camps telling how glad the
men are to receive the copies of
"Home Happenings" the weekly news
letter being sent out by the Congre
gational church to her men with the
colors. Pvt. Clarence Shrum in
hospital at Lakewood, N. J. says: 1T
is fine. It tells me just the things l
want to know" Pvt. Roy R. D. Lar
son writes from Kelly Field, San An
tonic, Texas: II received the "Home
Happenings" letter yesterday and
found it very interesting. It certain
ly is splendid thing. I heard that
there are other churches doing SIM
liar stunt. One fellow in my tent
showed me letter from his church
which had the same idea in view but
was not arranged as systematically as
mine was. He spoke very highly of
my letter." Segt. George w. Sta
Piles writes from Camp Dodge, 163rd
Depot Brigade, 5th Battalion: "Your
pleasant little paper, "Home Happen
ings" was quite a delight and a sur
prise to me, the first copy of which
I received last week. I have been too
busy to write before this to tell you
how glad was to get it and what
splendid idea I think it is. 1t contains
, many items Of interest to me, and I
am sure, to many others, that we can
hear of in no other way.

first issue to notify the editor-in-chief
Of any change in address so will tell
you that my latest address is "Hqrs.
5th Bn. 163rd Depot Brigade, Camp
Dodge, Iowa." 1 feel as though it
were rather presumptuous Of me to do
this but I do not want to miss any of
the papers and l fear that l might
not get it, if you continue to address
me in care of Co. "T'', this battalion"

Mrs. Geo. Holman was the victim
of very pleasant birthday surprise
party last night when 80 lady friends
stormed the Holman home. The lady
soon got over her bashfulness and
gave the visitors cordial welcome
and the evening was spent in music
and games and general good time.
A nice luncheon was also served and
to cap the climax Mrs. Holman was
presented with very fine cut glass
dish as a remembrance of the happy
occasion. The lady certainly will have
cause to long remember this happy
event of her life. ... - 81
