SOCIAL EVENTS Qno of the most Interesting as well as the most enjoyable events which have occurred In the social world of this city recently was the birthday surprise party tendered to Mrs. Louisa Cornell on last Friday after noon. The event was in honor of her 72nd birthday anniversary and was arranged by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. A. B. Cornell. After the Invited guests had assembled at the A. B. Cornell home, Mrs. Cornell went to the home of the elder lady with the request that she come to her home to assist her In some small mat ter. The lady, entirely unsuspicious of tho delightful treat in store for her, v.cnt Immediately, not even wait ing to replace her house dress for a "company" one and running up the steps ahead of her daughter, walked Into the trap so thoughtfully pre pared for her by her loved oues, who are ayer ready and willing to bright en her path. The surprise was a complete success and the afternoon which followed will never be forgot ten by those present. The ages of the ladles present ranged from 62 to 86 years and everyone of them took an active part In the afternoon's en tertainment, which consisted largely In biographical sketches of their lives from birth to the prespnt time. To say that theso sketches were in teresting would be mildly expressing it, as some of the life stories of ac tual experiences told by some of the older ladles present were truly won derful, while at the Bamo time they were pathetic in many stages, but always there was a vein of humor running through which caused the smiles to chase away the tears. Many of these life sketches could fill hon orable places in our histories and would be an excellent lesson to the coming generations as examples of courage and patience which we, In our enlightened age are not called upon to bear. As an example of some of tho experiences of our forefathers' time the story was told of how corn cobs were burned and the ashes used for baking s'oda in the early days. This is only one of the many incidents of early pioneer life and hardships through which our ances tors have passed before reaching the more prosperous and enlightened, but who can Bay the happier stage of their lives? All the ladles present at this party, with two exceptions, were widows, but all were blessed with children and grandchildren, whose homes and hearts are open to them to brighten their declining years. Mrs. Cornell was assisted in serving by Mrs. J. H. Williams and late in the afternoon all were bidden to the dining room where they sat down to an excellent dinner. The guest of honor was the recipient of many beautiful birthday remembrances and when the ladles departed It was with the assurance of an afternoon happily spent and the pleasant reminiscences of by-gone days wilt be gratefully re membered In the years to come. Those present besides the hostesses were: Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Leech, Mes dames Louisa Cornell, Laura J. Rich ardson, Lerona Helms, Nancy G. Gil key, C. Fenwlck, Elizabeth Williams, E. A. Wade, H. E. Brown, M. J. Atchison, Orrll M. Sturtevant and Mrs. Chatman. me members of Etna Ttebekah lodge Rave a farewell reception to Mr. and Mrs. Boyer at the lodge rooms Tuesday evening.

A large number of Rehekahs were present and Interesting program of music and recitations was rendered, after which the evening was given up to games and a general good time. A dainty lunch was spread in the banquet hall, after which the gathering departed for home In tho "wee sma' hours."
