A Surprise Party for Mrs. Bowen
The Arnold House in the Park was
the scene of an enjoyable surprise
party last Thursday evening. The
event was in honor of Mrs. J. A. Bow
en-, of Tupelo, Miss. Mrs. Bowen this
summer celebrates her twenty-fifth
summer in the Park, which she has
always spent in the hospitable home
of Mrs. Arnold.
Mrs. Bowen is familiar with South
ern life, having spent the greater part
of her lifetime at Tupelo, Miss, and
being an interesting conversationalist,
her large fund of incidents about col
ored people, cotton picking, the great
storm in Tupelo in April, 1886, is
most interesting to her friends in Ar
mold Cottage.
The evening mentioned above was a
delightful occasion. Mrs. Arnold, as
sisted by Miss Augusta Hardesty, dec
GRATED the dining room with vines,
green branches and flowers. Miss Har-
desty made some beautiful mottos,
which hung in conspicuous places.
Among the guests at Arnold Cot
tage are Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Powers,
Beaver, Pa, who have spent many
years in Mrs. Arnold's home; also
their daughter Lillian, of Chicago.
AS the guests entered the dining
room upon the occasion Miss Powers
played "Blest be the Tie that Binds"
Mrs. Arnold placed pretty crown on
the honor guests head and all sang
"Mrs. Bowen, She's All Right" to the
tune of Happy Birthday. Mrs. Pow
ers addressed Mrs. Bowen in some
complimentary remarks and the honor
guest acknowledged the gifts of Prov
idence. Then followed a fine dinner,
prepared by Mrs. Arnold and her ca
pable help. A beautiful cake, decorated
with twenty-five lighted candles, was
the attractive centerpiece, and thus
ended most happy occasion.
