On March the third, little Miss Norine Swanson entertained a large company of her friends at her sixth birth-day party. Simple games of contest were enjoyed. Little Miss Issio Lee Dix won the prize in the first game,—a box of Nunnally’s can dy. In the second game little Miss Harriet Robeson of Marriet- ta, won the prize,—a necklace of six pink candy hearts. In cutting the cake, little Miss Louise Holtzolaw made the lucky cut and received a silver thimble. As we looked in the bright young faces of the little guests,we felt that Mrs. Swanson must have borrowed from the roses and lilies blooming there, the color scheme of pink and white which was so beautifully carried out in the' dec orations and dainty refreshments. The favors were boii-bons in boxes lined with pink crepe paper made to represent roses. Those present were: • Clifford and John Powers, Ben 0. Holtzolaw, Jr., Frank and Eth el Nunn, Clifford Heard, Louise and Katharine Holtzolaw, Har riet and Mary Robeson of i Mari etta, Lee Minor Paul, Jr,, Caro line and Helen Cater, Ruth and Joseph Gilbert, Thornton Marsh- burn, Ruth, Nell, Issie Lee and Francis Dix, Corinne Duncan and Emily Wimpey. Repoter. The Spinsters’ Club. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Hugh Lawson entertained the Spinsters at a Washington tea. In this charming entertainment the pleasure of the ladies of the Club were embraced by the pres ence of a large number of mat rons. A pleasent game, in which Miss Annie Holleman was the winner, was enjoyed by all. A picture of Washington, a oherry tree and hatchet and nu merous flags were among the ap- propriatl decorations. 1 Doilies, folded like cocked hats, a little flag in each, followed by refreshments that suggested the good old days of long ago, were served to each guest. All noted this a delightful oc casion.
