ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN
Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Mitchell gave a
dining to the little folks of their neigh
borhood Tuesday. Children of all ages
from walking size to ten years old were
included, and fine spread Of substan-
tails and sweet-meats was placed be-
fore them for their enjoyment. To say
that the guests abundantly enjoyed the
hospitality of their clever and thought
full host and hostess, but mildly ex-
presses it. Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell were
most gracious and considerate in their
attensions to the little folks, and as the
reward of their trouble must know that
they succeeded in capturing the heart
Of each one present.
1t is well to consider the pleasure of
the children. Perhaps most of us do
not enter into the spirit of their child
ish sports and ways as much as we
should. He who causes the smile of
pleasure to play upon the face Of inno-
cent childhood has more to be proud
of than If he had brought sigh from
the heart of a strong man.
