EyerybOdy's Birthday Party.

| The Woman's Union sponsored a
novel party at Concert Hall Friday
evening. A couple hundred invitations
| to each of which was attached little
sack, had been distributed among
residents of the village and commune
| ty and the response was most satisfac-
| tory. The invitation bore this little
verse:
BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR YOU.
| At Concert Hall, Cassville, Friday, June 5th,
At SCOOP. NJ.
This birthday party is given to you
| TITS something novel, something new;
We send you each little sack.
| Please, either send or bring it back
| With as many pennies as you are old,
| eve promise the. number shall never be
told;
Kind friends will give you something to eat,
And others will furnish a musical treat.
The Womans Union with greetings hearty,
Feel you'll attend your own birthday
party"
AS the invitations indicated, it was
birthday party for each person who
attended Twelve tables, representing
the months of the year, and appro-
priately decorated to conform with the
sentiment and tradition associated
with each, were arranged in proper
order in the hall and chairs were
grouped around them. After deposit
ing the small sack, containing coins
or pennies enough to tally with the
age of the presentee, with the door
keeper, and after ascertalnlng the
month of birth, the guest was escort
ed that section which represented the
particular month in question.
Thus all attended their own birth
day party, mingled and associated with
others born in the same month, and
while families in most casts were sep
arated all, nevertheless, enjoyed de-
lightful social evening. A splendid
program of songs, music and panto-
mime followed, after which refresh
ments were served. A pyramid birth
day cake was then sold at auction, Dr.
L. B. Bernhardt being the highest bid
der.
Since the members of the Woman's
Union positively refused to d1vulge
the contents of the individual sacks
| it is impossible to state who was en-
titled to the honor and distinction OF
being the oldest one present. 1t was
limited that some of the sacks were
mighty hefty in spite of the youthful
appearance of those who presented
/ them. Be that as it may, it most sue
cessful birthday party and the mem
| bers of the Woman's Union feel we'll
repaid for their efforts, both from a
financial and social point of view.
