SIX CANDLES BURN /
ON BIRTHDAY CAKE

The Eastern Star Chapter had
a birthday party at the Commu-
nifty Home on Wednesday even
ing of this week. 1t was a very
nice party. The special occasion
was to celebrate the sixth birth
day of the order on the island
There Were about one hundred
"sisters and brothers" present
The party opened with a splendid
banquet. The tables were arrang-
ed in the form Of rectangular
oblong square-whatever t h a t
means. The motif was an Easter
suggestion. Pretty candles We're
glimmering everywhere. The tav-
or baskets were in the form OF
Easter eggs. The first course car
ried out the Easter idea with the
salad, and the Swedish rosettes
filled with delicious creamed
chicken proved the piece de resis-
tance. Beautiful Easter lilies,
with green stem, was the ice
course and W. d. Clark tried tG

pei of his coat. 1t was ice cream.

Mrs. Hayes looked as beautiful as

ed in history. Mrs. Donahue OF
Burton spoke graciously and to the
point. Mrs. Julia Sherman made
