There was music and recitations by
the members and then a guessing con-
test as to the contents of the myster-
icus packages deposited on the dining
room table by the guests, which, when
opened, disclosed each an edible of
some one variety, which were dis
tributed and enjoyed by the class. The
birthday cake, lit by thirteen candles
and made after the teachers receipt,
was in layers. The first was cut by
the young hostess. The second layer
exposed thirteen souvenir dolls, in
various costumes and colors. which
afforded much merripent. The third
layer held a Christmas remembrance
for Marjorie Burnett, whose birthday
occurred during the holidays. Mar

ed luck penny box into which the
class dropped thirteen pennies.
Then followed more guessing
games, checkers, lotto and "Old
Maid" after which the girls depart

lest of all numbers, and the class
party the happiest of their recollec-
