BURRSVILLE CITY, February 4.
- HE twenty-fifth wedding anniversa-
ries of both Hon. Cornelius F. X
Quinn and his handsome missus,
Mrs. Hon. Quinn, were celebrated last night
here grandly and simultaneously by the
host and hostess entertaining more than
100 guests.
Real prewar five star pinch bottle goods
flowed like water.
Hon. Quinn, as did Mrs Hon. Quinn,
celebrated the anniversaries quietly by
giving the big party in their palatial new
mansion. Hon. Quinn celebrated the occa-
sion further by making an eloquent speech
for two hours on the new Irish Free State
at the regular Friday night meeting of
Borough Council in Fire House while the
party was going on at his mansion.
Many groups Of guests participated in
discriminatory in both phases of Hon
Quinn's activities last night These groups
started at the party in his mansion; they
then, shortly after s P. NJ, accompanying
Hon. Quinn down N. Main, laughing and
jostling, from his mansion to hear him
House. All were cheering Hon. Quinn and
Prohibition and Volstead down ~ Main.
Even more guests, however, especially
the young married set of the Borough, de-
cided to remain at the party in Hon.
Quinn's mansion and continue the party
while he was absent speaking on the Irish
Free State in Fire House.
All this majority that stayed at the
iuo of 20
stood up on their chair in the mansion
at frequent intervals and drunk Hon.
Quinn's health and cheered and yelled
out, That's the stuff, Quinn!" and "Give
em h-ll Quinn!"--aIl laughingly MAX
ing pretence they could hear what Hon.
Quinn was probably saying in the speech
blocks down ". Main.
Young Lawyer Ed Seeley
Was Life of the Party
Young Lawyer Ed Seeley, who never left
which marred the finish of the party, was
as good as a circus, especially as the
party went on and on. 1t was surprise
to one and all that the Borough numbered
a resident as lavishly supplied and gener-
cordials and the like, the prewar stuff lit
orally flowing like water.
Right after Hon. Quinn had gone to
Fire House with the minority of his guests
Lawyer Seeley, who by this time was a
regular case and had everybody remaining
at the party in the mansion laughing their
head off at his pranks, would open the
front parlor window Of the mansion. Then
Ed would lean out and make pretence to
be listening to Hon. Quinn. All the ladies
and gentlemen would be grouped behind
him with their glasses, Lawyer Seeley
making pretence to keep them all quiet
and listen to the speech five blocks down
". Main.
"Hooray!" then suddenly would holler
Lawyer Seeley. Everybody in the mansion
would give a cheer then for Hon. Quinn,
and all would scramble back through the
mansion to the dining room and pantry
and shake up more drinks in Hon. Quinn's
handsome solid silver family size cocktail
shaker and again drink his health.
Before the minority that had gone to
Fire House began to trickle back in twos
and threes from the speech in Five House
to resume where they left off at the party
the mansion was in mess. Halves of
squeezed oranges were stuck like they were
hats on the heads of all the Rogers groups
OF the Return of the Bride and the hand
some bronze statuettes in Hon. Quinns
palatial new mansion.
But when that prince Of good fellows,
Hon. Quinn, later returned from Fire House
and surveyed the mess, he just laughed
his head off and said a twenty-ffth we'd
ding anniversary comes only every quar-
ter of a century, so what difference did 1t
make?
We scribe had to leave the party tenn
porarily shortly after s r. M. on account Of
Hon. Quinn insisting We scribe accompany
him to Fire House and report for the
American people his eloquent speech on
the new Irish Free State.
