Theresa told Marguerite it was the most delightful time she ever had. The twenty-eighth of July was Theresa’s birthday, and she had always had a birthday party, inviting all her little friends. But this year she was visiting and she could not, or supposed she could uot, have one. On the twenty-eighth Theresa received many presents from her city friends, which pleased her very much.

Soon Mrs. Maxwell asked the guests and hostess into the dining room, where refreshments of sandwiches, fruits, punch, cake, candy and ice cream awaited them. The guests went home at an early hour, wishing Theresa many happy returns of the day. Theresa enjoyed the party very much.
