evening by Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Stults In
celebration OF the tenth birthday of their
little daughter, Marguerite Pretty invi-
tations, each painted with a white Mar
guerlte on pale yellow paper, had been
sent out, bearing these lines:
Count these petals, then you'll know,
Just how old I'll be
on February s. 1898,
win you spend the evening with me?
Wen play and dance and have great fun,
Now please be sure and come,
And stay from seven till half past ten,
Three eighteen East Hall is my home"
Among the answers, which were like
wise in rhyme was the following:
Fair little blossom.
Your petals so white
I've counted, and ten you do hold.
So next Tuesday night
1t will be my delight
To help new petal unfold.
AS you grow on and blossom
Through this gay world of flowers,
May your petals be white as before,
May you laugh smile and dance
Through sunshine and showers
Is the wish of your friend Eleanor"
