DELIGHTFUL BIRTHDAY DINNER No entertainment has been enjoyed more than the elegant dinner at which Miss Daisy Alman entertained a number of her friends of Sunday last at her home near Apalachee. The occasion was in honor of the 19th anniversary of Miss Alman's birthday. The dining room was beautifully decorated with Southern smilax, jonquils and pot flowers. The dining table, around which the guests were seated followed in the artistic decoration the color scheme of green and yellow, and had for its centerpiece a large birthday cake around which was banked asparagus, ferns and jonquils. Softly-shaded lamps added effectively to the beauty of the decorations. The dinner was a sumptious one, graciously served in four courses.
