The Birthday
Partj^
F ir^HE first of September was Johnny
Blossom’s birthday, and Father and Mother
Ji had decided that he should have a party
and that the party should be held at Kingthorpe.
How delightful that would be!
He was to be allowed to invite just exactly
whom he pleased, especially those who had been
kind to him, Mother said. My, oh, my! but
that would mean a good many!
Soon after this plan was made, all the
household went out to Kingthorpe one day — Father,
Mother, Asta, Andrea, Dagny, and Johnny
Blossom, of course, and the two maids.
Wide open stood the park gates, wide open the
heavy, richly wrought gates to the courtyard,
where the fountain was splashing musically;
wide open, too, the great entrance doors and all
the doors between the rooms, so that light and
air streamed once more through the long-closed
mansion. Very big and beautiful it looked in
