SURPRISE MRS. MARTIN
WITH BIRTHDAY DINNER
Mrs. T. T. Jeffus took Mrs.
Albert Martin to Minter Friday
morning to see her father, who
has been confined to his bed
three weeks. They left Mr.
Martin at home washing apd
their daughter, Lucy Elhylleehe
in bed with measles, and on their
return at twelve o’clock who
should Mrs. Martin find at her
home but nineteen of her friends
to greet her on her birthday, and
going in the dining room to find
her table loaded with everything
that could be thought of in the
way of the very best eats. In
the center of the table was a
lovely bouquet of lace fern and
Jonquils. After Mrs. Martin had
gotten off, the telephones began
to get busy and by 10:30 o’clock
the ladies had all gathered with
their dinner, and were soon busy
arranging the table, which was a
beauty to eveiy eye.
Just before the honor guest
was seated at the table, the red
ball stage from Paris drove up
to the gate and the driver took
from the car a big box from
(force’s green house. Her heart
began to grow weaker with joy,
and as she untied the ribbon
what should her eyes behold bdt
the loviest of carnations in white
and pink, and it was then that
some of her gifts were needed
to catch the tears as they were
mixed with smiles as they trip-
pled down the cheek of one who
could never never find w- -ds of
appreciation to such a host of
friends.
As some one has said: *‘Tis
better to give Howers to a living
friend today, than a bushel of
roses white and red to lay on
their casket when they are dead,'
and the love that was shown
Mrs. Martin is the most beauti
ful flowers that grow.-Reported.
