each lady asked to write an acros-

gin with the letters as arranged
and should carry a sentiment de-
schiptive of the president When
read these were found to contain
many apt. witty and wise tributes
to Mrs. Stephens, whose faithful,

highly appreciated by the entire

For the Little Folks
Not for a long time have the
little folks of Ballinger enjoyed
such a party as that given by Mrs-
<’. A. Doose in honor of little
Marguerite Doose’s tenth birth-
day.
It was a Womler Garden party
and the largb velvety lawn of the
Doose home was transformed into
a veritable fairyland and the lit-
tle folks indeed flitted and danced
about like fairies in their glee.
A real Wonder Garden had been
built for the occasion with a rus-
tic gate all in pink, this being
chosen as Marguerite’s birthday
color. Within this garden were
founj the May-pole, with pink
am] white streamers, the magic
well of rustic appearance, and
