THE WAYCROSS JOURNAL
Friday, July 24, 1903
Little Miss Thelma Dickens Gave a Birthday Party. One of
the most enjoyable children's parties given in some time
was that of Miss Thelma Dickins, the pretty little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Dickins, at their home on
Brunel street, Monday afternoon, from 5 to 8 o'clock, in
celebration of her eighth birthday.  The attractive home
was made more so with its decorations of ferns,
evergreens, and cut flowers.   Many games afforded great
pleasure for an hour or two.  In "the Chinaman and his
pigtail" contest, after many and vigorous attempts to pin
the tail on correctly, little Miss Rosalie Toomer won the
prize, a pretty picture.  Miss Lucile Rippard was given
the bobby, a paper fan.  At the close of the games the
diningroom was thrown open where was seen a bright, long
table loaded with good things, in the center of which was
the birthday cake surrounded with eight lighted candles. 
he little hostess received a number of pretty gifts.
Among those who enjoyed her hospitality were Misses Ellie
Knight, Lucile Reppard, Katie Fesperman, Margie Philipps,
Inez Ellington, Christine Bibb, Frances Stanton, Florence
Andrews, Edmee Wells, Lavinia Young, Fannie Knight, Viola
Ratcliff, Rene Merrill, Dorothy Tanner, Mary Fendt,
Esther Benton, Beryl Singleton, Rosalie Toomer, Annie
Lois Seals, Masters Harry Benton, William Toomer, Alex
Louther, Kenneth Merrill, Wadley Sharpe, Edward Crawley,
cargyle Brinson, John Henry Lott, John Cox, Jr., Robert
Brinson, and Arthur Lott.
