Little Miss Janet SNYDER was six years old yesterday and a number of her little playmates and friends were invited to come to her home on Pearl street in the afternoon after school to assist her in celebrating this auspicious occasion. For several hours the children romped and played various games and indulged in amusements in which children find so much delight and pleasure, and the parlors of the A.J. SNYDER home rang with merriment and laughter. A peanut hunt was one of the games the children played and this afforded them considerable amusement for a quarter of an hour. At an appointed time a tempting birthday luncheon, consisting of ice cream and cake, fruit and candies, was served. Mrs. Snyder was assisted in the serving and entertaining by Mrs. Emmons PTAK. The centerpiece consisted of a huge birthday cake, garnished with six candles. Little Miss Janet was made the happy recipient of many beautiful birthday gifts, which will be constant reminders of this happy day. Ju! st about dusk, the little guests, after wishing Miss Janet many more happy birthdays, departed for their homes much enthused with this pleasant party. Those in attendance were little Misses Maxine CLOIDT, Mary SWATEK, Louvisa ALBERT, Esther, COWLES, Fay HALSTEAD, Alice PTAK, Janet SNYDER, AND Masters Cloide and Theodore PTAK, Keith and Dean SNYDER.
