Many happy events of this kind
have been penned by the Stars re-
porter, but none which gives us more
real pleasure than this account of the
birthday party given on peace day in
honor of Mrs. C. E. Winston's six
'teenth birthday. When Mrs Winston
was awakened early in the morning
ON Nov. 18th, by the various noises
which had taken possession of the
city, she inquired the cause. and was
informed by her husband that her
birthday was being celebrated" Of
course Mrs. Winston felt very glad
that peace had been proclaimed on
her birthday and that all the world
would be made happy and glad on
that eventful day. AS the party was
to be a surprise Mr.. Winston sug-
gested long ride, which his wife
eagerly agreed to, consequently a
trip to Blitchton was taken while
preparations for the celebration went
merrily on at home. On the return
of Mr.. and Mrs. Winston to their
home, darkness greeted them, which
caused an uneasy feeling on the part
of the latter until on ringing the
doorbell lights instantly appeared and
the hostess was given royal well
come by Mrs. Whitfield, Mrs. McRae,
DIR. and Mrs. J. E. Chace and Mr.. and
Mrs. L. W. Ponder. The honoree was
invited into the dining room, which
was beautifully decorated. the dining
table being exquisitely laid with
handsome china and linen, with .
lovely birthday cake with sixteen
pink candles burning upon it. The
delicious six o'clock dinner was most
informal and greatly enjoyed by all.
