On Thursday. July 7, party of 2!
! of the friends and neighbors of Mrs.
Alice Manwaring met at her home on
the White road in the form of sur
prise. After the laughter and mer-
riment of the surprise" were over,
the party still went merrily on. A
baked bean dinner was served at
noon under the NAPLES on the lawn.
This was supplemented with most
toothsome salads, ice cream, cakes,
coffee and lemonade. After dinner,
those who were able to, took part in
singing and piano playing, victrola
music was also enjoyed. Later, on
the lawn, the guests were entertained
and astounded by the feats of the
sons of the Manwaring family. These
took the form of acrobatics, contor-
tons and general display of athlet-
ic skill AS is usual on such occa-
sions. the day was fraught more or
less with miShapS, chief among them
being Giles Manwaring's misfortune
Of getting silver in his right fore
arm. Excitement and CONSERVATION
ran riot. Offers of help came thick
scissors, jack knives and screw
drivers were thrust upon the unfor-
tunate and suffering one to aid in the
operation.
But taken all together, everyone,
with the possible exception of Giles,
pronounced it a most enjoyable oc-
caSion.
