When you were q small youngster
and were sent to a party with your
best clothes on and cautioned not to
get your white stockings dirty, nor lose
your hair ribbons, nor ask for more
than one piece of cake, didn't you just
wish that some time somebody would
have a party and you could romp and
play and not bother about your
clothes nor your dirty hands and have
two pieces of cake and all the ice
cream you wanted? Well this Utopia
of children's parties has never quite
come true to Topeka children. but
each year one Topeka man has a party
at his home that comes just as near to
this as a party possibly could and still
be a party.
This is the party that is given each
year in the fall at the home of Mr.. H.
A Hodgins. on the corner of Seventh
and Lane streets. This year it will be
given next Saturday afternoon and all
the little children of the first grade,
and the kindergarten from Clay, Polk,
Lowman. Potwin and Lafayette
schools have been asked to come.
Long ago in Old ireland, where the
Hodgins family lived. it was the Gus
tom in the fall for several families in
the community to have a party for the
children. They came from all over
the neighborhood and played and ate
to their hearts content. And next Sat
urday when the forty-third anniver-
sary of the arrival of the Hodgins fam
lily in Topeka from County Tipperary.
Ireland, is celebrated, the same plan
will be carried out. The people who
were friends of the Hodgins family in
the early days and their children and
| also the children from the five schools,
| which members of the Hodgins family
have attended. will be the guests.
The following persons will entertain
| the children: Miss Burke of Kansas
City, Miss Lulu Mckee, Miss Muriel
Hobson, Miss Nanon Hefren. the
Misses Wyatt, Miss Adele Foster and
Mrs. w. D. Updegraff. Last year the
children ate gallons OF ice cream and
| this year they will have the same OPP
portunity in establishing a record for
| the consumption of cream and cones
