March 2, 1924 was a Sunday, and 1924 was a leap year. Therefore, when attractive little Lucy Clark Smith celebrated her eighth birthday on the Friday before, she was celebrating it on February 29. Was her birthday February 29? If so, I trust she was born in 1916, not 1892, because otherwise the age difference between her and her Stokey guests would have been rather awkward.

Little Miss Smith Gives Party.
Little Miss Lucy Clark Smith, the attractive daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Clark Smith, celebrated her eighth birthday on Friday afternoon at the home of her parents on Juniper street.
The table had a color scheme of pink and white and the central decoration was a beautifully iced birthday cake with eight pink candles. The candies were in lovely pink baskets.
The afternoon was passed in playing games, and the two sisters of the guest of honor assisted in entertaining the guests.
Those invited were Miss Margaret Stokey, Miss Julia Frances Smith, Miss Orien Smith, Miss Kathleen Stokey, Miss Rosemary Peck, Miss Martha O’Neil and Billie Malloy, Billie Stokey, Billie Washington and Roger Stokey.

Ages of the Stokey children:
Maggie 11
Billy 6, almost 7
Kay 5
Roger 3
Little Miss Lucy Clark Smith, the attractive daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Clark Smith, celebrated her eighth birthday on Friday afternoon at the home of her parents on Juniper street.
The birthday girl's father was a colonel, and Will, the father of the Stokey children, was a lieutenant-colonel. Were the other three non-Smith guests also children of Army officers?
I think the Stokeys were living at 334 8th Street at this time. Juniper Street crosses Eighth Street a few streets down. About a ten minute walk, maybe.
