In honor of Irma Phcnd Kay, visiting her from. South Bend, Helen arranged a little get-together one night this week and advised everyone to biitig some needlework, since she wasn't sure ihe final number of guesfs would accommodate itself to bridge.

As the party got underway, one industrious brought forth a play-suit which she had started for her baby son. After a few basting stitches, however, she abandoned it in favor of a bridge game and at this point the obliging hostess took over. The little garment was ready to be stitched, and soon the whir of the sewing machine could be heard from the adjoining room. Insisting she'd rather kibitz the card game than actually play, Helen worked on. She hunted up some elastic for the back of the suit, then scoured through hrr button box for a pair of white buttons and got a big laugh when she apologetically asked the guest for more thread (she had used up the last of her own!) By coffee time, she was finishing the second and last buttonhole and then held up a FINISHED SUNSUIT for the lazy, card-playing guests to admire.

The one who had brought the little suit, expecting only to get in a few stitches, heartily congratulated herself, while the one who bad brought a pot-holder to crochet, the one who had brought a very non-utilitarian luncheon cloth to embroider, and ihe one who had brought nothing whatsoever, all threatened that next time they'd come equipped with some really practical sewing and let Helen SPREAD HER TALENTS AMONG THEM: Prof, and Mrs. William Anderson and two children, 630 Ferson avenue, are vacationing at Douglas Lodge, while Professor Anderson is teaching at the extension division of the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. 4 Marriage licenses have been to Wayne M.

The Deer of West Park Road ONE OF the principal topics of conversation out West Park Road way these recent weeks has been the constantly reappearing deer, seen at various and frequent times by most of the residents in that section of the city. In fact, the deer has come through their backyard often enough that Dr. and Mrs. J. T.

McClintock, 404 West Park Road, have come to exnect its almost nightly visitation, as have Prof, and Mrs. W. A. Anderson, 530 Ferson avenue and on occasion others in the vicinity have been lucky enough to see the doe as well. But there are still those who are surprised when they, happen upon this doe (apparently a former resident in the deer pen at the City park), mch as Norman and Fredrich Hageboeck, 437 Hutchinson avenue, who were storped ir their tracks by sight of the deer in a wooded section north of fie McClintock place the other night, and Mrs.

Bess M. Sensor, who almost collided with the doe one evening as she crossed the garden between tie residences of Dr. and Mrs. Peter Laude, 302 West Park Road, and Mr. and Mrs.

Ron Tallman, 320 West Park Road. The doe undoubtedly is the one still at large after escaping from tne City park enclosure during the June flood. B. F.
