Scatter White Roses of Happiness
(The following letter came just a
bit late for last weeks issue of the
Milford Chronicle; but it carries
lesson all should practice-to make
life happier for each other, so it
finds a place.-Editor.)
In this decade when in every walk
Of life, the motto seems to be,
"Speed Up" it is the exception to
pause long enough to properly ap-
preciate any one particular achieve
ment or express in a material way
our love and gratitude to those
around us, for his or her particular
work which often means sacrifice.
eve intend to-" we think, "Will
sometime" and so on until oftimes
it is too late, and instead of the ap-
probation we might have shown to
the living, it is epitaphs to the
dead.
Acting on this thought, many
friends of Mrs. Name H. Register,
under the leadership of Mrs. Clara
Marshall, decided to give Mrs. Reg
lister a surprise. So, on the evening
of the first of April, Mrs. Marshall
gave a delightful tea to about three
score of her friends. After we had
assembled in her hospitable home,
Mrs Marshall took the floor, and in
a very sweet and apt way, began to
tell the life story and particular
work of our much loved Mrs. Regis
ter. Needless to say, Mrs. Register
was the only one surprised. At the
conclusion of her remarks, she pre-
scented Mrs. Register with beauti-
full white gold wrist watch on a.
white gold wrist band. This gift was
made by appreciative friends.
