Ice Cream and Cake 'Musts' for Boys' Party

YOU MUST HAVE ice cream and cake. Indianapolis mothers are agreed, .

Mrs. Sipe had mothers along to help manage. There was a mother in the front and back seat of each car on the trip. The children had a big bonfire for toasting wieners arid a large green salad. They had to present a clean plate before getting their Eskimo pie dessert The older boys each have Separate parties. Their mother feels that it makes them more responsible that the event is more special. However, each is expected to help the other out with hosting

Give each guest a minature racer, mark A finish line and let them push. Bill drew up his own guest list for the first time this year, He's inclfaded classmates from kindergarten in Orchard School.

Girls Are Quieter Mrs. Halverson reports that the birthday party which her son, Ward, 15, remembers best was the one held in Riverside Park with an unlimited number of rides on the “Flash” for all. Mrs, James Katteriohn belives that once every five years is often enough for a big birthday party with smaller family events inbetween. Jimmy Katterjohn, who was 5 this month, had a family party this year, But there was still an abundance of ice cream and cake. Mrs. Katterjohn advises giving luncheons for kindergarten children-—starting the party at 11 a.m. and following it with a meal. This way the boys and girls can still have their naps and won't ruin their dinners. Mrs. Fred G. Frauman also advocates a modification of the afternoon ice cream and cake spree. She's giving a supper party for hér daughter, Sally's 7th birthday Feb. 2. “This way,” says Mrs. Frauman, “they'll get their meat and
