Shute, Alice Coombs, Alice Brown and
Robert johnson of Belfast and Earle
Paige of Beverly, Mass. Many pretty
gifts were received by the young hostess
and the usual games were played until
time for refreshments, when all marched
into the dining room. Here they were
seated at a charmingly arranged round
table, an heirloom in the family of Mrs.
busse. The birthday cake pink iced
and decorated with six candles, one for
luck, graced the center of the table, and
was surrounded by pink asters. The ice
cream was sprinkled with cocoa and
either pink or white aster was placed
in the center, so that when served the
dishes looked like little flower pots. At
each place was row of animals march,
ing around the table, made by using the
animal crackers and mounting them upon
pink frosted crackers. The effect was
very pretty, and the children had a most
delightful time.
