In compliment to Mrs. Mary Savage,
as friends called at her home to wish
her we'll and offer congratulations on
Tuesday last, the aged hostess having
. that day reached her Goth birthday.

candies and gifts. Conspicuous among
these were s34 in gold presented by
her children and grandchildren and
beautiful bouquet of carnations from
ten of her great grandchildren. Re-
freshments of ice cream and cake
were served the guests. Mrs. Savage
is in fine health and enjoyed the day
immensely. The affair was arranged
by her daughter in-l law, Mrs. Ernest
