The 50th birthday party of Consul Gracey. A large group of Americans and Chinese are eating at tables outdoors. On the back of the photograph is written: "Dr. & Mrs. Gracy, Miss Pratt and [name not legible]. The rest (90 in all) you do not know. They are neighbors at Kuliang who Dr. Gracey invited to a feast on his birthday (Sept. 9). Grace and I were there too, but were not invited to take part in this feast. We had a jolly time. Helen [the Smith's daughter] was frightened by all the preachers. This is their Kuliang house, not far from us." This photo is from the papers of the Edward Huntington Smith family. The Smiths were a family of Congregational missionaries in China, 1901-1950, primarily in Ing Tai and Foochow [Fuzhou].
