Old Pictures Also Documents And Application Photographs Experienced my first earthquake here yesterday and 1 was wide awake! It happened at 2:25 and 1 was sitting on a chair in the hall of the Singer Sewing Machine Co. of fices, calmly waiting for my husband. It was on ttie sixth (tup) floor of the tallest building in Lima, ui»d I felt the building swaying' to and fro. I looked in the office and could see Mr. Hawkins sitting calmly in his chair, although looking around, and I thought, “Hl sit here as long as he sits in his chair.” The seconds seemed like minutes; my heart was in my throat and I broke out in a cold sweat. Looked again- at Mr. Hawkins and saw him jump out of bis chair and start for the doorway —likewise did 1. Just then “Doc” (Win Dunshee) came rushing toward me .«mdlML- “"B!tr7WT??nn^ernbIor?" I could have shaken him. I assured him I did and I guess he could tell as much when he took hold of my arm. By this time the doorway was full but. in a few momenta, some one said: “It’s all over." Everyone sort of laughed, rather a nervous relaxation, and went back to work, while I re turned to my chair, to get hot and cold, hot and cold, and shiver. Borne fun! I really didn't enjoy it a bit, though I don’t believe Hl feel so nervous another time. And had we been on the street, we probably wouldn't have felt it enough to speak of. To compliment Mis. Ervin L. Pe terson, a dessert bridge and shower was given Wednesday everting by Mrs. Stanley Ayers, Mrs. T. K. Foss and Mrs. Tailant Greenough at the Ayers home.
