Hendricks of Monroe had the pleasure of celebrating their twentyfifth or silver wedding anniversary Sunday at i their home at Monroe. They invited a number of friends to share the event with them and a sumptuous dinner at noon was spread. Among those present were some who were in attendance at the wedding twenty-five years ago. Those present at the dinner were Mr. and Mrs. Michael Miller, Mrs. Catherine Thompson of Decatur; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hofer, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Longenberger, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Kauffman, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Hendricks. In the evening they were joined by Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Smith, Mrs. J. J. Hocker and Mrs. J. J. Maver and at 9:30 o’clock a delicious luncheon was served.

Today is the anniversary of the death of John Keats, the English romanticist poet, who died in 1821. He was born in 1795. When Miss Alta Teeple received her twenty-five little guests Saturday afternoon on her thirteenth birthday anniversary, she found to her surprise that it was a “most truly" George Washington party indeed, for among her well known little friends were stately George Washington and his wife, Martha, themselves. Closer ex- i amination of the ccuple in their quaint ! dress, however, revealed the fact that George was really little Miss Geraldine 1 Brandyberry and Martha, Miss Beulah Kenna. George was very realistic with his powdered hair in a braid, his knee trousers and buckles, his whitefrilled coat, his white hose and buckled low shoes, while Martha was primly real and really prim in her stiff, fullstitched frock of green silk, with white colonial shoulder shawl, and powdered hair dressed high. After a merry time getting acquainted with the new couple, games of all kinds were played, and the temptation to heve a mock wedding, with the colonial couple as principals, could not be desisted. Miss Rowena Shoaf presid-! ed as minister, and the bridal party' was very complete with the bridesmaids, groomsmen, maid of honor, I lower girls, ring bearers and attendants. Then came music and a merry round of other games, until the refreshment hour. Then all were seated while the hostess, assisted by Miss j Geraldine Brandyberry, and Miss Ellz-' Ber ’ ed tem P t!n S afreshments. The dining room table had as | to center of attraction the pretty 'and and white and on the top were pink i numerals, mo and 1913, the dates of’ i 3 T B BPan “ lrig MiBB Alta ’« young I I • She received many prettv gifts toTpVx ReUlahKl -a.
