a surprise birthday party on the dis
Greet slopes of the Terrace a few
evenings ago. Denying the occasion
marked his 10th anniversary as
heatedly as he rejects the claim that
1t was his 10th, Barnee does admit
sentimental tears welled up as he
caught sight of the festive table
which a group of his special friends
had engaged for the love feast. For
upon penetrating the tables magical
aura (hoarse strains of Happy
Birthday to You!") he beheld the
magnificent centerpiece, cake all
of two and one-half inches in di-
ameter and resplendent with con-
tectioners' rosebuds and single pink
candle. And lying close beside it, the
gifts: One head of cabbage artisti-
cally draped with orchids.
Barnee made touching acknowl-
edgment, which started emphatic

the same note.
