As the afternoon was very warm, the games planned by the hostess were omitted and the time passed with music and conversation. Many snapshots were taken of the little dears and their fond mothers. When refreshment hour came, the guests were invited into the dining room, where in the center of the table, the large birthday cake with its one small candle, attracted the eye. On either side of the centerpiece was a bouquet of pink and white roses. Streamers fell from the chandelier to each cover and the guests found their places by means of dainty pink baskets and place cards. Sweetpeas were used for the floral decorations in the living room. Included in the delightful party with Master Howard were Mrs. Norbert Anderson, Mrs. Emil Kestenholtz, Mrs. Gus Prescott, Mrs. Paul McCleester, Mrs. Reitnour, Misses Emma Steffens, and Helen Forgusson, Mrs. Welcome M.

LECTURES ON CHILD TRAINING Begging parents to forbear "Don't Johnnie," at each irregular act of the child, Madame Makara, the noted psycho-analyst, spoke feelingly for the little ones last evening in the fourth number of her series of free lectures in Odd Fellows hall. She urges parents to get the confidence back home, and the sight of the young girl revives the love in the heart of the former lover, now the husband of the sister. Then begins the struggle. The romance is carried on practically under the nose of the wife, and the selfish younger sister would wreck three lives to gain happiness—or at least what she thinks is happiness. The wife learns of the romance and determines to break it. Here fate intervenes and takes hold of the situation and eventually straightens it out. The husband is humiliated and humbled by the splendor of his wife's courage and tragedy is avert- LECTURES ON CHILD TRAINING Begging parents to forbear "Don't Johnnie," at each irregular act of the child, Madame Makara, the noted psycho-analyst, spoke feelingly for the little ones last evening in the fourth number of her series of free lectures in Odd Fellows hall. She urges parents to get the confidence of the child, in her topic, "A Discussion On Child Training." The world's most delicate and difficult problem, and when Johnnie comes in with some question considered beyond his years, Madame Makara insists the child should be treated as a grown-up, and that the parent lay aside all other duties and make his query the great matter of moment. A slap at the wrong time, an unsympathetic ear from the parent, particularly the mother, has been the primary cause of many a lost boy. Keen, lucid answers were flashed at the audience in reply to the contributed questions, and the queries ran the gamut figuratively, from "How old is Anne?" to "What do you think of divorce." Mrs. Scully, also a psychologist, endowed with a lovely voice, which she uses generously and cheerfully, sang two beautiful sacred solos, and graciously responding to request, sang "A Perfect Day," and "The Rosary." LITTLE BOY IS FOUR YEARS OLD Master Omer McKim, of Brea, is now thoroughly out of the "little boy" class and is rapidly becoming a small man, as he has just celebrated his fourth birthday. To make the event more memorable he invited his grandmother; Mrs. Annie McKim, of Anaheim, and several of his Anaheim playmates over to pass the afternoon. They played games on the lawn until they grew tired, then were invited into the house to enjoy some choice refreshments which had been prepared for the occasion. Most boys are fortunate enough to have one pretty birthday cake on their natal days, but Omer had four, each of which bore four twinkling candles. Ice cream and cake were served and a happy afternoon soon came to a close. PRESENTATION OF LITTLE WOMEN It will be of interest to the Anaheim-Fullerton friends of Mrs. C. H. Larimer, of La Verne, to know that the Ganesha Players, of Pomona and community, of which she is a member, will present the play, "Little Women," Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in the American theatre. Pomona. This is the same play chosen by the Fullerton high school for senior play and it is likely several members of that cast will attend the presentation. The play are many unhappy marriages but most marriage troubles are trivial and could be avoided if the contracting parties would be level headed. How one woman emphasized the fact that marriage can be made for the best is clearly shown in "Sisters," a motion picture version of the famous novel by Kathleen Norris, which will open its local engagement at the California Theater starting tomorrow. "Sisters" is the story of a misunderstanding brought about by the love of an elder sister for a man who had been in love with the younger sister. It is a lavish production of an everyday problem and is enacted with a cast featuring Seena Owen, Matt Moore and Gladys Leslie. It tells a plain story of an older sister, devoted to her father, who wants to see her younger sister happy, and believes the end is accomplished when she marries the man of her choice and goes away with him. A friend of the family, had been in love with the younger girl, and he leaves for a world trip, to forget. He later returns, after the death of the father of the girls, and marries the older sister. His love is quiet, reserved and theirs is a happy life. The younger sister, however, leaves her husband, comes heart of the former lover, now the husband of the sister. Then begins the struggle. The romance is carried on practically under the nose of the wife, and the selfish younger sister would wreck three lives to gain happiness—or at least what she thinks is happiness. The wife learns of the romance and determines to break it. Here fate intervenes and takes hold of the situation and eventually straightens it out. The husband is humiliated and humbled by the splendor of his wife's courage and tragedy is averted. ASK U. S. TO PARTICIPATE GENOA.
