The W.H. Wright home was the scene of a splendid surprise on Tuesday afternoon, when a big party of W.R.C. Ladies invaded and took possession of the premises. Mrs. McNally, who is a guest at the Wright home was the only one at home, as it had been previously planned she should be, and from her exclamation of surprise when the avalanche fell, there was no doubt that not even a bird had told her. Mrs. McNally expects to move to Missouri Valley in the near future, and this was the way this body of women took to express their friendship for one of their members, who had been a good officer and a faithful worker. With the table groaning with good things to eat, they waited just a moment until Mrs. Cook in a splendid way presented to Mrs. McNally a silver spoon. In her usual clever way, the reply was witty and equal to the occasion.
