arranged the party in his honor.
From early evening the older peo-
pie PLAYED games and the young
folks danced in the kitchen. At
midnight an elaborate supper was
served. When all had reinforced
their energy with food, play was re-
sumed and continued until two
O'Clock in the morning.
If anyone imagined that the old
