Roderick C. Seyffert of 1555 Westminster road, Flatbush, to Paul The experience of William R.

He had invited a party of his young friends and their sweethearts to attend a theater on Bushwick avenue, and later partake of supper at a restaurant. A sly companion, John Herr, was to meet him first to select the box.

Half an hour elapsed before Herr put in an appearance and condoled with William, who was shivering with the cold, over the disappointment. At 9 o'clock they decided not to wait any longer and went to the home of Henaghan's parents, 1331 Greene avenue, where a gay company young people greeted him with laughter. Music, dancing, singing and games which all partipicated, helped to while away the hours pleasantly. At the supper table Peter R. Henaghan, father of William, indulged in witticisms at his expense and reminded that he was badly fooled on his twentybirthday, but yet he was going to get something by which he would remember the event.

Many presents were then given to William among them being a handsome ring bearing his initials, by John Herr. The party included the Misses Lillian Weber, Beatrice Behr. Christina Jourdan, A. Foster, Elizabeth Herr, Frances Burghart, Sadie Sweeney, Nettie Kenny, Blanche Henaghan and Joseph Miller, Joseph Sullivan, Howard Herr, Arthur Kolb, John Herr, Fred Werbeek, Mr. and Mrs.
