Birthday Party
Oift of the prettiest juvenile parties
of the season occurred on Saturday
afternoon when little Miss Sara Vir-
ginia Ross entertained about thirty of j
her playmates and young friends from
four to six at her home on A avenue.
As the guests arrived they were given
"play" money which they used to try
their luck at the fish pond, have their
fortunes told, and be refreshed at
another booth with cold drinks. Var-
ious other games were indulged in
until they were given animal crack-
ers to match and find their partners
to go into the dining room. Here the
color scheme was green and white and i
was carried out in the decorations,
ices and cakes. The center piece was
a large white cake with nine tiny white
candles in green rose borders.
Each child received a box of bon-
bons as a souvenir. They all voted
Sara Virginia a charming little; host-
ess and her party a delightful affair.

To Signal the Operator
WHEN you have been given the wrong numbei.
or for any other reason you wish to get the opei-
ator's attention at once, it is useless to "jigglt
the receiver hook.
• When the receiver hook is moved up and down raj-
idly, the operator does not answer because the signal
light on the switchboard does not flash and attract her
attentiin.
The right way is to move the receiver hook up and
down slowly, which causes the little switchboard light tt
glow and brings a prompt response from the operator.
Patience and deliberate action always result in less-
ening the delay and are a great aid to the operator i-n
getting the right number for you.
