A Pleasant Surprise.
The Ladies of the Piesbyterian
Church have a way of their own in
doing things.
On Thursday of
this week when Mrs. Perkins and
her family were about their usual
vocation and unsuspecting, there
was a violent ring at the door bell
that would have startled the
strongest of nerves and without
waiting the Ladies Aid Society
with needle and thimble and well
filled baskets filed in taking com­
plete possession from parlor to
kitchet , spread toothsome dainties
and generous supplies of the more
substantial.
Mrs. Perkins taking the hint at
once placed before them a handsome
quilt that needed the touch of will­
ing fingers to complete it for a
career of usefulness. So after a
bountiful dinner these ladies fell to
work and quilted until the shadows
began to get long. A ll voted it a
pleasant time and Mrs. Perkins a
splendid hostess.
