guest of honor was not even surprised to be
asked to seek the pot of gold at the foot.

In the yellow pottery jar which she discovered were as many
gold nuggets as there were girls, and each nugget was a little
gilt-paper-wrapped joke for the trip.

The real, sure-enough farewell gifts to keep were in the packages

the rainbow.

BIRTHDAYS AND OTHER ANNIVERSARIES

Birthdays you particularly wish to celebrate happily and successfully.
There's your mother's birthday or your brother's or your little son's
or daughter's birthday or the birthday of the popular president of
your special club.

MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY TEA

A pleasant way for a daughter to entertain for her mother is to give a

name at the top. If your mother li
