7- Mrs. Sumner Root celebrated her Seth birthday anniversary on Satur- day at Rosehaven, the home of her son, Henry Root, where she is living until her new home, which is being built on the foundations of the old one, burned on April II, shall be completed. Over 100 people of Somers and the surrounding towns called on her during the hours from 3 to 6. Each guest paid his respects to the old lady, who was seated in the drawing room or screened veranda throughout the afternoon. Many brought pretty gifts. The guests en- joyed relating some family affair to her, or referring to past incidents, and hearing her comment on the doings of the day. Though old in years she is not old in spirit, and she takes an interest in all things of the present, She made beautiful picture as she sat in the big arm chair in lavender gown, with her snow-white hair, her mouth firmly set and her eyes bright with joy. The hostess, Mrs. Henry Root, served light refreshments. Mrs o. A. Pease, daughter of Mrs. Sum- rder Root, presided at the piano, and accompanied Miss Six idmore of New York and Miss Grace Kenney of Somerville, who each sang several songs. The spacious bungalow was handsomely decorated with flowers on every available table and mantel. Beautiful green and pink-tinted hy drangeas adorned the fireplaces.
