a large birthday cake, which was
beautifully iced. On the center of the
cake was little clock pointing to the
hour of IL. A gold slipper was on
either side of the clock. and IL candles
around the cake in the cutest little
candle holders-some were roses and
some birds. On one end of the table
was mound of moss with pumpkin,
six mice and lizard. Or the other
end the Fairy Godmother had turned
them into coach drawn by six white
horses and the coachman ready to take
Cinderella who was in the carriage to
the ball. When the little guests were
ushered in and seated around the table
they were served with chicken coquet-
ties, peas, cunning little biscuits, cocoa,
ice cream and cakes. After all the
guests were served then came the fun.

coach" around the circle and all the
children marched behind her then they
formed in line and she gave each
souvenir slipper filled with candy and
tiny toy house in it, but in one slipper
