Promptly at 3:30 p. m. they all began playing games, which were enjoyed by each and every one. At 4:30 they were invited into the back yard, where, in the shade of the beautiful, wide-spreading branches ; of a sycamore tree, little Margaret McKnight and Florence Harrington served an ice course and Mary Frances Harrington served a sweet course. After enjoying this to the fullest extent the boys indulged in an exciting ball game, while the little girls played with dolls. At 6:30 the little tots realized the sad i but true fact, "'Tis time to go home." May Ralph live to see many happy returns of the day, and while ; journeying through life may each i mile-stone he passes be attended by i health, happiness and prosperity.
