Milford chronicle., 1930-05-02

Who has had their annual aJLack
of spring fever? Perhaps the malig-
nant malady has not been general
yet, and except for few premature
cases, it is a little early, because the
weather has not been warm enough
to cause the feeling that we must
follow the line of least resistance.
Isn't it peculiar "How we get that
way" in direct contrast to Mother
Nature, who chooses spring for her
busy season. Apple orchards were
never any prettier than they have
been the past week and all vegeta-
ton, in fact, is beautiful just now,
with it's fresh green growths.
"
In spite of spring housecleaning
folks always save enough time and
energy to go to parties and 1t IS
well that they do for between the
two issues of our paper Milford Ia
dies have enjoyed two delightful par
ties and large ones, too. Mrs. Chas.
&c. Heisler gave a most enjoyable
party at the Windsor Hotel on Fri
day evening of last week. The gath
ering together of the guests in the
parlor of the hotel where every one
greets every one else and visits with
them is a pleasant part of the even
ing, then the march to the dining
room where every one finds her
place precedes the time given to the
playing of bridge. There were II
tables and whether the cards were
good or otherwise the guests had a
splendid time. Just once let's tell
about the prizes. Mrs. l. Dolphus
Short had high score and was given
pewter tea set. Mrs. George II.
Draper, Jr., won the second prize
kitchen clock finished in the pop
ular green, and the consolation prize
