35 Little Guests Attend Nellie Hood's 10th Birthday Party, Sept. 4, 1923

A Birthday Party

Last Saturday night Mrs. W.E. Grimes entertained about 35 little folks in honor of her little daughter, Nellie Hood’s 10th birthday. The guests, led by Misses Lucy Rhodes, Hilda Peedin and Jeanette Holland, played games on the spacious lawn which was lighted by Japanese lanterns.

Punch was served immediately after the arrival of the guests after which they played games on the lawn until 9:30, when they were invited into the dining room where delicious cream and nabiscos were served by the hostess. The table was lovely in pink and white, the birthday cake with its 10 pink candles forming the centerpiece.

The guests departed about 10 o’clock, having spent a happy evening.
