The fifth birthday of little Miss Francis Gibson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.G. Gibson, was the occasion of an afternoon of much enjoyment, when on December 22nd, it was celebrated at the home of her grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Ridenhour, on West Depot street. In the den, where the little hostess received her friends, the many pretty gifts were displayed on a table, where a miniature Christmas tree, beautifully decorated, reminded the young guests that Santa time was near.
After admiring the presents the young folks enjoyed games on the yard awhile. Then they were invited into the dining room, which was aglow with the mellow light of red candles in crystal candlesticks. The centerpiece was a big white birthday cake on which were burning five wee red candles.
After everyone had been generously served with ice cream and cake, the little guests were shown int the hall where they stood around a big Jack Horner pie, from which they pulled most attractive souvenirs.
