At the conclusion of the musical
program, Billy and. Buddy OHara
were ushered in carrying large
basket full of birthday gifts which
they deposited in front of the sur
prised one. Then began hilarious
time, opening the gifts, reading the
names of donors and the many uni
que verses, poems, and expressions
of the we'll wishers. The recipient,
little girI-like sat on the floor while
she opened her many gifts and read
the inscriptions. All seemed to en-
JOY these proceedings hugely and
made merry just like children. When
the presents had all been opened and
the inscriptions all read and enjoyed
refreshments consisting of delicious
ice cream and cake were served.
When the refreshments had been
partaken of the hostesses appeared
bearing a huge birthday cake all
covered with lighted cadles The
guest of honor blew out all the cables
with one breath and proceeded to cut
and distribute the cake to the other
guests. These, in turn, began to
search their pieces of cake for the
various things that had been put into
the cake. Mrs. H. E. Murphey found
the darning needle in her piece, Mrs.
Machen found the dime, and Mrs. j.
E. Murphy, the ring. For time it
was thought someone had swallowed
the button, but later it was learned
that little Virginia Franklin had
found it in the piece her mother took
to her Mrs. Lancaster and Mrs.

contest to see how many words could
/ be written from the letters in the
