REMEMBERED
I wish to express my deep grati-
tude to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baker
and to the members of “The Friday
Night Forty-Two Club,” for their
kind words and useful gifts present-
ed in remembrance of my birthday.
A card found in one gift box ex-
pressed this sentiment: “Another
birthday? Preacher don’ feel blue.
Ah, have birf days, you have birf-
days. Everybody do.” Your friend-
ship fills me with joy and I can only
repay you by expressing for you my
love which will never fail.

The thermometer game gave much
pleasure as each girl was blindfolded
and then asked to pin a heart near
the/ normal mark on the thermometer.
Mrs. Nolan Bear was the most suc-
cessful in doing this. The “Maid’s
Fortune” afforded much fun and
laughter as each guest was asked to
read her fortune. Miss Probst then
asked the bride to show us the cor-
rect way to “Heartsville,” by follow-
ing the streamers and signs on “Lov-
er’s Highway.” This led to another
room where she found a chest cov-
ered with many lovely and useful
gifts. The bride in her charming
manner expressed her appreciation
for the beautiful gifts.
A delicious refreshment plate con-
sisting of heart-shaped sandwiches,
pink heart cakes and Russian tea
was served by Mrs. Probst and her
daughter, Margaret. Red hearts and
cupid’s arrows were plate favors. The
guests departed after expressing their
good wishes for the bride.—Contrib-
