March 2, 1900- Baby party at Mrs. H. G. Austin
Mrs. H. G. Austin planned a pretty birthday party for their year old baby boy and issued about a dozen invitations to persons of about that age. A very enjoyable afternoon for the little ones and their mothers was the result. The guests arrived about 2 o'clock with their mammas and chaperones and from that time until dark, they enjoyed themselves with dolls, rattles, and all the paraphernalia of babyhood. That all were musically inclined became apparent when Miss Ella Schwantz rendered several instrumental solos on the piano.
Mr. Saxe was called in to photograph the company and for a time the negative promised to be a "howling" success but after recovery from their surprise, a good view was obtained and also one of the dining room, which was very prettily decorated with smilax and carnations.
A 5 o'clock tea was served, the feast of good things being especially enjoyed by the chaperones. Desirous of setting a good example to the elders they departed for home at an early hour, each carrying a card as souvenir of the occasion and waiving the hand in token of farewell.
Those present: Florence Davis, Donald Duerre, Francis Finch, Nellie Fuller, Grace Oliverson, Mildred Reifkogel, Bernice Richmond, Jesse Schouweiler, Jesse Slocumb, Katherine Sylvester, and Bernice Weikel.
