I went to a surprise party to-night for Eva Eaton. When Mary & I got down to Dew's where we were to meet, all the boys except Emil and Jean had started to walk on and all the girls were there. Jean had a team and carriage. Jean & I rode in the front seat while Emil & Mary rode in the back seat. Nellie R, Gladys, Josie and Esther rode in Emil's carriage. Oscar, Marshall, Lloyd and John walked. Jean was real polite, he helped me out of the carriage. Besides those I have already named there were Ernest M, Irene M, Earl Whitman & Hettie Brackney, Eaton's cousin Walter Haslit and Vivian Montgomery. We played Miller Boy. I had Walter Haslit, Oscar, Jean and Lloyd for partners. We also played Lemonade and Flynch. For refreshments they had doughnuts, white cake, brown cake, bananas & oranges. Going home, Oscar & Lloyd rode in the other carriage too and John & Marshall rode in our carriage. When we got home Jean brought me up to the door. It was twelve oclock when I got home.
[Here's a description of The Miller Boy game and its accompanying song:
THE MILLER BOY
Sung by: Jack Escue
Recorded in Sidney, AR 8/30/57
There was a miller boy, lived by the mill.
The mill turned around by its own free will.
Hand on the hopper and the other'n on the sack,
Ladies walk forward, gents turn back.
Sailing east, we're sailing west,
Sailing over the ocean.
Come, all you men who want a good wife,
Better be quick in the motion.
(Mr. Escue: "In this little ring game, why, each man has his partner, and they're circling around and they promenade, and there's one extra boy in the center, and he cheats a partner every time, and when he hollers be quick in the motion . . . In this ring game, when they start out, why, you have your partner, and you're promenading around the ring, and there's an extra boy in the center who cheats on a partner every time, and that throws one without a partner, and it goes on around until the ring, 'til it's finished.")]
