A PLEASANT EVENING
~~~~~

     On Tuesday evening last the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church, with a few friends, enjoyed a few social hours at the residence of Mrs. Tom Sims.
     Six tables with games requiring not much premeditation, but immediate action engaged the attention of young and old - no, not the old, for all were young that night. Some were laboriously stringing popcorn; the. sober and sedate were gaily piercing for peanuts, strong thumbs were deftly threading needles; with a pin a few serious minded were cheerfully fishing for heats. After indulging in those amusements, all were invited into the dining room, there to partake of excellently prepared refreshments.
     Roses decorated the table and from every side their loving welcome came as a fit companion to our genial hostess. Too quickly the time came to say good night, and all hoped that they might soon enjoy another such evening.
