Edith Lancaster Hodges

Edith remembers Aunt Julia, Aunt Thelma, and Aunt Beulah had a bunch in one Saturday night. They were in the front room having a good time. Mama Lancaster made biscuit dough and rolled it out real thin and made two false faces for her and me. We then took white sheets and pinned them around our heads. We went out on the porch and knocked on the door and Dewey Wallace came to the door. He fainted and everyone was screaming trying to get out the back door. Boy! was Mamma Lancaster tickled we had scared those folks to death.
