THE SOCIAL ROUND

Birthday Party A very cheery picture and supper party was given on Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Wilson, Titahi Bay, to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of their daughter, Miss Garde Wilson, which took place yesterday.. The supper party was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Spidy, Karori. The supper table was attractively decorated, a feature being a gaily-iced birthday cake, with 21 candles. These were lit, and on the stroke of midnight the guest of honour blew them all out together. Her health was drunk and all present sang “For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” Mr. Wilson, in a happy speech, wished his daughter every happiness for the future, and said that as it was entirely unnecessary to present her with the key to the door, or to the garage and the motor-car, she having had possession of those for quite a long time, he would give her a key to future happiness; whereupon he presented her with a large golden key. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson also gave her a beautiful dress-ing-table set of polished wood, handpainted in ash grey and blue. Mr. Spidy also congratulated Miss Wilson on attaining her majority. Musical Afternoon An enjoyable musical afternoon was given at her home in Highland Park yesterday afternoon by Mrs. J. A. Doctor. Dahlias and zinnias, tastefully arranged, were the floral decorations in the music room, and Mrs. Doctor received her guests wearing a moss-green ensemble. During the afternoon Mrs. E. T. .Spidy sang, Miss Grace Butler recited, and Miss Irene Spidy gave a pianoforte solo. Those present were Mrs. G. A. Bucklin, Mrs. Hughes Steele, Mrs. E. T.
