Mrs. Julia A. Bailey, Rev. H. B. Scott, T. Cone and Alice Blackinton, the May Queen, called.  Kate made the crown of white roses.  She also twined the garland.  Mrs. Goff made the scepter.  Kate also made wreaths for the maids of honor.  We went to the party which was in James Scott's orchard.  The queen and her court appeared very well and the refreshments were abundant and good.
