of white and purple. The large dining
table was partly covered with cluny
lace and a centerpiece Of drawn work
on which rested a crystal bowl filled
with violets, lending beauty and fra
GRANGE to the scene. The chandelier
was draped with graceful loops of
broad white and purple tissue paper.
The birthday cake with the little hon

large purple letters, was a beautiful
feature. Lights in red shades cast
soft glow over the table with its cut
glass and silver. A very interesting
informal program was beautifully rem
dered, Marie Dill and Francis. Rob-

were che mingly rendered and much
enjoyed; while Myrtle Lovette and
Elizabeth Breland delighted all with

The little honoree was the recipient
of many beautiful gifts. Cream and
cake and candy were served b. Mrs.

long be remembered, even among
those accustomed to share her gra-

The little honoree was handsomely
dressed in cream silk, beautifully
hand-embroidered, and wore lovely
red sash.
