| parties Saturday afternoon and de-
spite the fact that just about the ap-
pointed hour for these happy occas-
ions there occurred a downpour of
rain, the invited guests for both par
ties arrived o. K and jolly times
never were more in evidence. Of
course, the frat real enjoyment at
both parties WAS the presentation of
of gifts from the guests to the hon
orees, which consumed at least an
hour for the many different remem-
brances were not only admired by
the receivers but by the givers.
These two parties were given by
Mrs. w. T. Gary in honor of her
daughter, Frances twelfth birthday,
and took place at the Gary home on
For. King avenue, and the other one
was given by Mrs. T. NJ. Mclean, in
celebration of her son. Theodore's
sixth birthday. The children were
entertained at the Mclean home on
East Fort King avenue.
The following were Frances guests:
Dashed and Louise Clements, Mary
Willis. Virginia and Barbara Ware
johnson, Mary Lena Hayes. Frances
and Helen Overton. Marguerite and
Audrey Condrey, Dorothy Cappleman,
Elizabeth McCully, Lucretia Hooker,
Anita Chazal. Marguerite Sexton. Ed
ward and Margaret Helvenston,
Hazel Livingston, Laurie Savage,
Martha Preer, Alice Miller of Tampa,
Mariana Neighbour. Mary Troxler,
Ethel Mae Rogers, Frances Drake,
Marguerite Roberts. Harry Clarkson
and Arthur Cobb.
Mrs. Gary was assisted in enter
tanning the guests by her daughter,
Maude, and Mrs. E. T. Helvenston.
i Punch was served during the playing
of all sorts of indoor games such as
fruit basket, button game, etc. The
observation game which was in the
form of giving the contestants only
few minutes to observe many articles
on table, after which they had to
leave the room and write from men,
DRY the different things on the table,
there being fifteen in all. As so many
were successful in naming every one,
Mrs. Gary had them draw for the
prize and Anita Chazal proved the
successful one, winning a box of
candy.
Ice cream cones and cake were
served and in conclusion the guests
repaired to the living room, where
upon a table prettily decorated in
pink and white, was placed birth
day cake with thirteen candles, the
extra one for the coming year.
Assisting Mrs. Mclean in enter
tanning her sons playmates were
Mrs. E. G. Peek, Mrs. Peek's mother
in-law, Mrs. FELTON,, Mrs. Wilburn
Brown. Mrs. M. F. Johnson, Mrs. W.
d. earn and Miss Irene earn. AS the
guest sarrived. Mrs. Charles More
men served them punch from Hastily
decorated punch table which was
placed on one side of the porch. Merry
games, such as dropping the handker-
chief, raising the gate, ETC., took
place, but probably the most excit-
ing of the games was pinning the
tongue in a funny old mans face,
drawn on a large sheet and pinned on
the wall. The one most successful at
this stunt was Mary earn, who was
rewarded with box of candy. Ice
cream cones and cake were served in,
the late afternoon and during this
time the beautiful birthday cake which
contained six candles was cut. The
biggest present that Theodore receiv-
ed was a bicycle from mis- uncle, and
aunt of Jacksonville. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam Mathews, the latter before her
marriage being Miss MarceIla Nc
Lean. The biggest gifts are not al
ways the most acceptable but in this
case it was, for young Theodore has
travelled many miles since receiving
his bicycle.
