A very pretty little party for the young folks was held in the ball room of The Carolina on March 24^th. The affair was an event no less than the birthday of Master Reginald Wing of Bar Harbor, Maine. From four to six the ball room was given over to merry making by this young gentleman and his guests, and the corridors of the big hotel echoed and re-echoed with the laughter of little children. Those attending were the Misses Hope and Edna Dann, Marjorie Dort, Emma Jane and Cora Swoope, and May O’Connor; Masters Sherburn Merrill, Charles Swoope, Bruce Butterworth, Laddie Platt and Eugene Keith. When it came time to “Going to Jerusalem” and pinning a tail on a cat, nobody could seem to do it so well as Hope Dann, Marjorie Dort, Charlies Swoope and Sherburn Merrill, for they won the prizes. Besides these games, they had a wonderful Jack Horner Pie, with lovely flavors inside, and everybody enjoyed these. They had refreshments and a big birthday cake with nine candles on it. The party ended with a hilarious Paul Jones and a one-step, and everybody danced.
