Kauffman, Laura Louise [Enck] - 1881

She Was Surprised.--
A surprise party that surprises is a novelty, but such an [sic] one we have to record.  Miss Laura Enck’s nineteenth birthday occurred on Thursday of last week, and a committee of friends determined to celebrate the event in a fitting manner.

Accordingly, arrangements were made and a large circle of acquaintances invited, under the rose.  In the evening the guests, with a well stored commissary, assembled.  Miss Enck was indeed surprised, and was moved by the appropriate testimonial of regard.  The evening was devoted to the God of Pleasure, and right royally did his majesty smile upon his votaries.  Games and social confab, with excellent refreshments thrown in “for chinking”. Make up the sum total of an enjoyable evening.
