SOCIAL GATHERINGS

anniversary at her home near Hereford, on Wednesday evening. The surprise was
a grand success, as Miss GERHART knew positively nothing of the arrangements
being made several days previous. In the early part of the evening she was

friends. The welcome she received will ever be remembered as the happy faces
met her with a glad shout. The evening was spent in playing all manner of
parlor games and the rendition of several musical selections. At a later hour
