With mingled emotions of both glad
ness and sadness; we are sorry to hear
that Mrs. Atkinson has been ailing
for some time while it was quite re-
loicing to see Mrs. Hazel of Jerome
St, back on her feet once more. Last
Friday, twenty-five friends of Made
line Dugger surprised her by their
presence and presents at her home on
her eighteenth birthday. The same
night social was held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Harry Robinson where
a large crowd of jiterbuggers danced
and clowned their way to dizzydom.
Needless to say, good time was had
by all. Sunday night, Mrs. Margue-
rite Rose Walker was rendered a sur
prise birthday party at which friends
from Greater Boston showered her
with many useful gifts. This affair
was held at the home of his sister.
