ren Hooper presented a charming
sight last evening, the event beins
one of the famous socials of the
Philathea Glass of Zion Church. Apri
first called for fun, and fun we had
First a program of music, both voca
and instrumental, Rotations anc
readings, after. which games OF jokes
in which all participated. Then re
freshments were brought forth IN
dainty baskets, the thought-fol
sweets proving to be nothing but
empty peanut shells and cotton. How
ever, real refreshments followed
proving to be delicious pies, prepar-
ed by members and friends of the
class, with ice cream.
The following history OF the class
was read and much enjoyed:
A is for all of us, Philathea is our
name. Boost the class ever and Of

B is for Busy Bees, that do not
sting, just tease; but it also stands
for Bothum, as plain as A B. C's.
C stands for Carmine, as, OF
course, it should. Clara was our
first president, and she certainly did
make good.
D, as everyone knows, stands for
Dunn, and when Mrs. Nettie gets
busy, she can make things hum.
E is for ecstasy, which we every
one show, when someone brings in a
new member, you know.

Bell, but how long she'll be Fisher
is quite hard to tell.

wife-dear; we are so glad to have
her another whole year.
H. you know, stands for our presi-
dent, Miss Hackett. Jess sure makes
a good one, with all of her racket.

some secretary, too.

pray, that there may never be any

Meelkins galore, and for two pretty
women. Edna A and Sallie Moo.e.

a dime.
o is for obstacles; these we meet
every day, but like the old song, we

P stands for Mrs. Phillips, and
also Mrs. Pink; these are mighty fine
women, I'm sure we all think.

w stands for Miss Wiley, and
also Mrs. Walker. We are all proud
of Myra, but, gee, she's some talker!

Y is for you--are you doing your
part to raise the church debt? Take
this hint to heart.

so proud Let's give her three
cheers; ring them out, clear and
loud

We have scores of members just as
loyal aad true
AS the ones in this alphabet just
read to you.
But my time is up-I've had more
than my share:
Well tell of them later, if Cor more
you should care.
