Birthday Celebration y
Little Mary Ruth Bennett was a
happy little lady Monday afternoon
when she had about thirty little boys
and girls come to her third b’rthday
party at her home on South Texas
Avenue. The happy youngsters en-
joyed games out on the lawn and
were then taken to the dining room
where the table bad for a lovely
-centerpiece, a large birthday cake,
built in three piers, three tiny cakes, j
each holding a candle, occupying the j
top pier. A mi nature lake surrounded j
Nby ferns and corona vines formed
a base for the cake and caused many
exclamations of delight.
Mary Ruth was the recip'ent of
cigarettes
rates.
‘ It is the opinion of the commission
that judicious newspaper and other
advertising by a public utility to pro- j
mote its business is a proper charge]
as an operating expense.”
