On Saturday afternoon Mrs. 8. NJ.
Keller gave party at her home on
south Main street to small company
OF white-haired, weet-faced old ladies',
into whose lives, all too infrequently,
such social attentions come. 1t Ia easy
to forget them I'm the evening OF life,
when the shadows OF time make dim
their pathway. They soon found their
reserve melted by the gracious cor
diality Of their hostess, and soon were
visiting together as easily and merrily
az bevy Of school girls. After an hour
Of conversation Rev. w. II. Selleck
gave an exposition of the 23rd Psalm
In its peculiar appropriateness to old
people, and then sang few selections.
Afterwards Mrs. Keeler assisted by
her daughters, Mrs. w. w. Scott and
Miss Maude Keller, also Miss Ida Han
sen. served the ladies a delicious lun-
cheon. The afternoon, particularly
bright and warm for January, was
made memorably so in the December
OF their lives, and with warm express
Ions Of pleasure and gratitude babe
their entertainer goodbye" Those
present were Mrs. Carpenter, Mrs.
Wentworth, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Mills.
