GALLOPING TEA?
"What's a galloping tea?" one Rossville business man asked another, Monday morning.
"Dunno; what do you think" was the reply.
It seems the Methodist W. S. C. S. seemed to be sponsor of Monday's "gallop." It appears that a member of the society starts out (time of day or night immaterial), and notifies other members that a "'Galloping Tea" is imminent. The movement gathers momentum and by the time the ladies arrive at the home of the victim, there is quite a crowd.
Mrs. Helen Wilt was called upon to furnish the tea.
One of the conditions of going on a "Galloping Tea" is that the ladies called upon must go in the clothing they happen to be dressed in at the time of the call, or pay a nominal fine. The dangers:
Mrs. Lloyd Coberly lost control While galloping to the, rendezvous in the vicinity of one member's home and fell flat on her back, sustaining injuries which incapacitated her the rest of the week.
Mrs. Grover Kesler entertained the members of the W. M. S. of the Presbyterian Church at her home Thursday afternoon, January 27. Those attending were Mrs. Ethel Berry, Anna Wilt, Viola Trostle, Ethel Kerr Arlene Reid, Etta Gutshall, and a guest, Mrs. Alice Bacon. The program, outlined in the monthly magazine, was followed. Members with assignments responded, the theme for the month being “Singers of the Triumph of the Soul.” The February meeting with Mrs. Nellie Dannefer as hostess, will be one of importance and all members are asked to especially keep this in mind and attend. The meeting was closed in usual form after which the hostess served lunch during the social period.
Mrs. Lloyd Coberly, assisted Mrs. Frank Page, and Mrs. Loma Jamieson, entertained the Friendly Circle Class of the Methodist Church at the Coberly home with a covered dish luncheon
Wednesday noon. After the business meeting the afternoon was spent in Red Cross sewing and a short program given. Present were Mrs. Irene Cleveland, Mrs. L. B. Crow, Mrs. C. S. Smith, Mrs Charity James, Miss Vida Whitney, Mrs. Grant Meade Mrs Frank Steffee Mrs. Sam Cottle, Mrs. C. W. Vorhies, Mrs. Noel Ganoung, Larry and Marieta, Kenneth Olson, Mrs. Martin Whearty,
