THE AUTO BALKED.

Mrs. F. E. Babcock entertained Mrs. D. A. Stoner and daughter Mrs. Louie Windsor and Mrs. John Duvall Thursday evening. An automobile outing was a prominent part of the program. The big car of the Rensselaer Garage, which seated the ladies very comfortably, went east, Instead of west, this time and got along nicely until an attempt was made to turn around on a roadway leading to the Shessler farm. Here the thing began to look back at them, and finally sat down on its hind legs and wouldn’t move a peg. A telephone message brought another machine to the scene and all was soon made right. Nobody hurt.
