She wore a pretty formal which was a birthday present from her sister, Birdie Powell, and also a lovely corsage. There were about sixty guests present to enjoy a full evening of fun and entertainment. The tables were beautifully decorated with pink candles which furnished part of the light, and an exquisite birthday cake. Some of the gifts that she re ceived were: a fine fur coat (in cidently Birdie also got a fur), a Winter White dress, but I think the most beautiful gifts were the two lovely diamond rings she got from her mother and grand mother. Refreshments were Punch, choice of cake, Molded Christmas Tree Ice Cream, candy and nuts. At the closing of the party, the girls were given a slice of the Birthday cake and the guests sang happy birthday. f HOUSEHOLD HINTS I * By Mrs. Brevy Miller Phone 2-4051 i Divinity Fudge. 1 Vi Cups sugar V4 Cup water % Cup light corn sirup 1 Egg white % Teaspoon cream of tartar % Cup chopped nuts % Teaspoon vanilla flavoring Combine sugar, water, and corn sirup.
