Miss Dorothy Fultoa's eighth birth
day is undoubtedly forecast of a bril-
liant musical career. A recital on
both piano and violin Was the
manner in which the occasion was cele-
brated. Several friends Of both herself
and mother were present, all of them
being thoroughly entertained by the
talented little lady. The house was
prettily decorated and we'll lighted.
Opposite the music room was a table
prepared especially for the eleven chill
drea who shared in the evenings enjoy
ment. A vase of white carnations, with.
punches of vio.ets, occupied the centre
of the Sable. These coloIs prevailed in
both decorations and refreshments. A
delightful ice course was served at the
conclusion of the program, which was
as follows.
