A "Cute" Party.

Little Willamette Williamson
reached her first birthday Wednesday
and a fitting celebration was arrang-
ed for the occasion. Twelve little
one year boys and girls were invited
to a party. There was a big cake
with one candle for the center OF
the table, a pink bib was pinned on
each little boy and blue one on
each little girl. A dainty Kewpie
doll with an abbreviated pink frill for
a skirt was given as souvenir while
the principal decoration was a clus-
ter of Kewpies swinging from the
electrolier. Refreshments of junket,
whipped cream, orange juice and wa
fers were served the little folks while
the ''Mama's" enjoyed sandwiches
and tea. ,
The party was altogether a most
enjoyable affair.

r The members of the Home Ser

Tuesday and heard the report of the
secretary, Mrs. M. T. Coleman, on
her recent trip to Atlanta, where she
attended gathering of Red Cross
Secretaries. At the Atlanta meet
ing the question of a peace program
was discussed. = =
Mrs. Coleman gave her impression
of the meeting in the Georgia City
and when she had finished asked
those present whether a peace pro-
gram. was feasible for Abbeville or
not. There was difference of opin-
ion as to whether the work, should
be continued here, now that most of
the soldiers had returned and the
pressing problems of the service men
disposed of. This question will be
decided at some future meeting of
the executive committee of the Red
Cross.
