Eighty-four of Mr. ‘Allison’s friends were present with hearts full of cheer and best ‘wishes’ for many happy returns. None can ever say who is happiest at a party of this kind, the givers or re- ceivers, much less, can any say which of the many good things was best to eat. However, the most fascinating edible this time was the immense birthday cake, prepared by Mr. Alli- son’s children.
