been given his choice of birthday cele-
bration. arranged something of a novelty.

enjoyed wading in shallow water. Both
were, to his thinking. the two most desir-
able things possible. and so when his
wishes were consulted he announced that
he would give a hay ride and wadng par
ty. A big wagon filled with hay and merry
Youngsters was driven to a beach and a
few minutes later each child was shoeless
and sockless. ready to wade dig in the
sand. Donkey rides on the beach were
other diversions. The luncheon was served
at long tables under the pier. This party
table, arranged on the shore, had all the
effects of an indoor party. Pop caps, Japa-
nese napkins. ice cream. cakes and candles
were served. Three times the long tables
We're replenished. for after the little folks
and their mammaS had partaken of the
feast the colored mammies were also re-
membered.
