enough, they were nearly all from
other points. Lighted by a coal
oil lamp and candles, those pres-
ent had more fun than if hydro
power was available. The weather
and roads were so inclement that
when her fiance, Howard Arm-
strong tried to persuade his bride-
to-be to dress up for a mythical
dance, she flatly refused and the
best he could do was to get her
there in sport clothes, so it was
a real surprise party in more ways
than one.
After an evening of games and
contests, the ladies put a rainhat
on Joyce. Janice Galbraith' and
Ellen Lindsay presented her with
an Umbrella which when open, was
found to contain bills pinned in-
side, Miss Bell thanked those
present, for the gifts and the hon-
our accorded her.
