The annual social given by the
ladies Of the Presbyterian Missionary
Society on last Thursday a~fternu0n,
in the church parlors, was a mos
enjoyable occasion. This was IN
honor Of Miss Frances Stribling. the
young missionary to China from tni.
church. The parlors were beauti1uli,
decorated with a profusion Of lovely
roses and other flowers. AS the guests
gathered they were given dainty
linen handkerchiefs stamped with an
s. to be embroidered. These were
for Miss Stribling, and many loving
thoughts were worked in with the
letters. After an hour spent in EN-
embroidering and chat, the work was
gathered up, and it was discovered

Miss Stribling had also been made
the occasion of a Shower for Mrs.
Hamilton, the beloved wife Of the
pastor of the church, and a number
of lovely towels. which had been
embroidered with her initials and
finished with crochet ends, were pre-
sented to her. This proved a com
plete surprise, and although some
what overcome by the unexpected
ness Of this feature Of the pleasant
occasion, Mrs. Hamilton in a charm
Ing manner thanked the ladies for
their thoughtfulness and generosity.
The ladies were then hidden into the
church, where a beautiful music pro
gram was rendered, and a number Of
interesting extracts from letters Of
Miss Stribling we're read. After this
the guests returned to the parlors
and delicious refreshments were
served, consisting Of chicken salad,
sandwiches, crackers and iced tea.
AS the evening was closing the
guests began reluctantly to take
their leave, each expressing her en-
joyment Of a perfect afternoon. These
annual social gatherings serve two
purposes, bringing to mind the dear
young girl who Is giving up her life
to work among the heather, so as to
bring the light to those who. live in
darkness, and tending also to bring
closer together the women who live
side by side and yet are not always
In touch with each other. 1t Is to be
hoped that these gatherings will be
continued for each succeeding May,
and that these good women may car
ry In their hearts, through the inter-
vening months, the thought of what
they stand for.
