Mrs. Carl Slagle and Mrs. Esther Fries delightfully entertained Mrs. T.M. Slagle on the occasion of her birthday last Sunday with a birthday dinner. The dinner was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Slagle. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Crawford and Mrs. and Mrs. Will Sloan, intimate and personal friends of Mrs. T.M. Slagle, were present and (so) was Mr. C.W. Slagle. All present thoroughly enjoyed the bounteous dinner and the delightful reminiscences of other days. It seems that the dinner itself particularly appealed to Mr. Crawford.
Only one candle was on the cake. Some claim it represented 31 summers, others claim 51 years had passed since Mrs. Slagle’s birth, while Mr. C.W. Slagle intimated that the one candle represented on century, whereupon he had to show how fast he can run.
