An event of much interest was the
party given by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Skinner to their little daughter, Mabel
Elizabeth, on Tuesday in honor OF her
fifth birthday.
Promptly at five o'clock the guests
began to arrive and forty little tots
participated in one round of frolic and
games to their hearts content.
At the appointed hour the doors of
the dining room were thrown open
and the little hostess led the way in.
The color scheme of pink and white
was most artistically carried out both
in decorations and refreshments.
The slightly darkened room was IL
Eliminated by the five pink candles
which topped the beautiful birthday
cake. From the center of the cake
hung forty pink ribbons, attached to
four of which were the ring, thimble,
dime and bachelor button. Delicious
cream and cake was served.
After each child had drawn a ribbon
more games and play was INDUCED in,
then assuring little Mabel of having
had most pleasant evening and wish
ing her many happy returns of the day
the little folks departed for home.
