Chinch at 22nd and Willis Streets, honoring their Pastor and wife. Rev. and Mrs. L. P. Bryant. While they were out of the city on their vacation, all the arrangements were made for the occasion, which was supposed to be a Hallowe’en Party. The church was artistically decorated with spooks, black cats, jackolantems and streamers, and packed to its utmost capacity, but not a soul was masked. They all came dolled up, except Rev. and Mrs. Bryant of coarse they didn’t i know the secret. Not a soul let the" cat out of the box. The lively pro gram rendered was three selections by the choir, H. L. Presto® director, prayer solos by Mrs. Lavida Butler and Mrs. Gretchen Selectman, read ings by Mrs. Carrie Carter and Mrs. Ruth Lewis. The last number on the 4 ogTam was a fitting climax to the supposed to be Hallowe’en Party. It was the surprize Wedding Anniver sary Ceremony, ptffomed by Rev. W. S. Metcalfe, maid of honor, and the ushers and usheretts were the attendance. To the melodious strains of Mendellshon’s Wedding March, played by the artful fingers of the church organist, Mrs. Jamison. The blushing bride, be-witchingly tripped down the aisle, attired in a gorgeous aky blue satin gown, trimmed with brilliants, a lively white vail and carrying a huge bouquet of roses, which the committee had provided unknow to the bride for the oc casion. The slumn kiss that bound the couple still closer, was very impres sive, and it made the whole congre gation dizzy with excitement and applause, were they surprized? You should have been there and seen the expression on Rev. Bryant’s face. Many beautiful gifts were presented to them. Delicious refreshments were served and many visiting ministers' and their wives were present. If you missed it you missed the treat of your life From all indications, voices of appreciation and bits of conver sation, everybody was well pleased.' Mrs. Amanda Griffth and Mrs. Ger trude Shackleford, assisted by the club women of the church had charge, of the affair.

THE TROJANS' The Trojans initiations of new members, Tuesday, night last, was nothing short of slaughter. When the girls arrived at the meeting in the costumes. We ordered them to wear, they look so ban, until w» really were in doubt as to whether we wanted them or not. Anyway, we scrubbed their faces with the good ole P. and G.. soap to be sure they were clean enough to become Trojans. Armed with regular household weapons the girls had to give the large room and the bathroom a gen eral cleaning. Dorothy Pollard proved to be the toughest bottle baby we had, because she insisted on bit ing a hole in the nipple in order to drink her water more ^quickly. I won’t mention the condition of the gir& noses, not to say any thing of their dignities when they got through pushing pieces of stale cheese twice across the floor. (Their noses were the pushers of course.) Alamita' Stokes almost wrecked the bathroom, when Maxine Owen and Mamie Jackson tried to wash her face, and after the cheese pushing, her face really didn't need it. Henrietta Gibson was an easy vic tim until she saw the hot iron with which she was to be branded, and when an innocent little ice cribe was applied to her back, she screamed bloody murder because she knew she had been seared. that all the girls enjoyed was the refreshments, which were a delicacy of Miss Taylor's creation, Chocolate Colored Onions, c'mon up ’n try one sometime. The tragical part of that was that Esther Harris tried to bite Ella Mae Mills' finger off, as Ella put the “Chocolate” in Esther's mouth. All in all, the new girls were as meek as little lambs, being driven to their fate. Confidentially, I’ve heard that Connie Mullen intends to change to P. and G. soap.. She says the effect is so invigorating.. I think they will run from a paddle too, the next time they see one, and Miss Taylor didn’t know little paddles could hurt so until Dorothy P. taught her. Believe it or not, but when it all was over, Miss Tayior was more tired than all the others put to gether. Now so long until next time.
