Most everybody loves the rain but sometimes it can certainly be naughty.
 And how wicked 1t is when 1t does such terrible things as 1t did Sat urday when 1t just wrecked the whole wonderful ice cream party which was given at Wilson park to raise money for the benefit of the Riddle Ramp.
 Instead of the Park being filled with vast throng of merry, laugh ing children, their parents and friends, the weather was so bad that practically only those who were will ling to risk a downpour attended the party. Through the storm, wind, thunder and rain drops they made their way to the park stand
 And because of them the ice cream party actually netted the sum of s75. So if you didn't get to attend, won't you send in the money you would have spent? Funds are so urgently neededi
 SpIendidIy Arranged
 The party, which was put on by Mrs. Billie" Pace could not have been more attractively arranged. There was lovely big piano on the grand stand, lent by Mir. Weir, and around this gathered the mu- sicians of the Harmony Five orches- tra, who put on a concert that made everybody very merry, in spite of the cold wind and that chilly feeling down the back.
 In this orchestra were: Roy Perry. 2. T. Hutto, Frank Korniker, 4. D. Brown and Rex Sullivan. Some what previous to the party these young chaps with the plano and on a fine truck donated by the Harris Transfer company, went about town advertising the show, two huge signs on either side of the truck asking everybody to come and buy cream for the sake of frail and deli cate little children who need a eoun- try outing that they may grow round and roly-poly this summer.
 How sad that the so hoped for s2.o00 or s3.000 could not have been made for their merriment. It was considered wonderful, even the weather being so bad, $75 was made. For awhile, even s25 was despaired of
 The huge signs were contributed by the Cusachs people, who spared no pains to make them just as at- traotive and right as possible.
 From the moment that the party began at 8 o'colck Saturday after noon, the little band of faithful workers staged right on till Il o'clock D. m. Among the most faithful were two men. Mir. sandern and Lloyd Crumly, who dished out the ice cream and served the drinks. Mrs. Pace and her sister, Mrs. A. D. Brown, made everybody feel so welcome. as did the other women of the party, and how happy was Mrs. Pace when up drove Mrs. E. c. Crowder, who brought down great bundle of linen for the Kid die Ramp. This bundle included sheets, pillow cases and towels.
 Distinguished Guest
 Among those whom everybody vel comed to the show were: Elmer B. Crosse and Edward La Monte, two members of the Happy Six orchestra which makes records for one o fthe worlds best known photograph companies. They were determined to do their bit that the party should not fail. They are at Egewood this week, and it was most interesting to hear Mir Crosse relate that their group believes in playing real music and doesn't like archobatio stunts in- troduced into 1t. Said they: we can play jazs. but we don't like It." Of course his audience gasped
 Baby Jimmie" Pace. who was the inspiration for tho party, stayed around the ice cream and cake as long as his lttle eyes could possibly keep themselves open. However, he was forced to yield to the sand man after while, and was taken home in his mothers arms.
