LITTLE THEATRE BIRTHDAY PARTY

An orchestra added to the success of the evening, and many dances, old and new, were enjoyed by A delightful minuet was presented by Miss Holland and seven charming young ladies—Misses Alice Priest, Betty Allan, Doris Wallace-Watson, Betty Pilling Isobel Clark, Molly Doig, and Patsy Stephens.
