Birthday Party.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F.
Amber was the scene of a jolly affair
Saturday evening, when their daugh-
ter, Miss Maizy, celebrated her birth
day by giving party for a number
of her friends.
The nature of the party was fake
field meet, and everything was carried
out in yellow and white. Yellow and
white flowers decorated the house,
Miss Ruby Waite, who wore a pretty
white dress, presided over the punch
bowl which had yellow and white
/ flowers arranged around it.
The guests chose captains and each
side contested for the games in the
/ field meet. The first game was to
make hats out of crepe paper. When
they were finished they put them on,
then marched by music in front of the
judges who awarded the prizes. Miss
Jessie Belle Wilson made the prettiest
white hat while Miss Winnie Taylor
made the prettiest yellow and each
was given white and yellow corsage
bouquets as prizes. Other comical
games were played such as reciting
poetry in sing-song voice, chewing
string with candy attached to one end
and a suit case race and others.
The side that won the most points
was served first. The refreshments
which consisted of ice cream and cake,
carried out the same color note. When
Miss Maizy was served she found a
box by her plate tied with yellow
ribbon. Upon opening it she found a
beautiful cameo ring, present from
the guests.

We're spent in playing and singing.
