The Baby Show.

Inc baby snow which had
been promised by the A, B, C
Division of the ladies of the
Presbyterian church material
lied last Saturday afternoon
and proved a great success in
every respect. There were a
goodly number in attendance
all afternoon, and everyone
felt they ''got the worth of
their money" Mrs. B. w. Car
Isle was door keeper and ush-
cred the visitors into the Infant
Class room which was in charge
of Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Ad-
lum. Here were arranged in a
very catchy way the pictures of
men.and matrons who now have
many gray hairs or of some
who have no hair at all upon
their heads, and of others who
have arrived at the dignity of
wearing eye glasses. But these
pictures were the relics of gone
by days when these aforesaid
men and women "were the cut
est and most cunning little
darlings in all theworld" in the
eyes of doting parents and
friends. Dainty old fashioned
garments worn by these babies
of long ago were exhibited also
and there were found many of
their dollies and other equally
cherished playthings of their
childhood. Mrs. Album was
dressed in an extremely infant
lie manner, and made a very
pretty little Dottie Dimple.
Next place of interest was the
Sabbath school room. Here
Mrs. Blackburn and Mrs. Bail
presided over the cake table.
The demand for cakes was so
great that the ladies were not
able to supply one-third of the
calls for them. In the same
department Mrs. Babcock and
Mrs. Chapman held a handker-
chief and apron sale, and Mrs.
Carlisle and Mrs. Cloud presided
over the fish pond. In another
corner Mrs. Clark and Mrs.
Cook served free lunch at a car
nation decorated table. In the
ladies' parlor one corner was
devoted to Japanese wares,
presided over by Mrs. Colt,
dressed in full japanese cos
tune. Miss Ruth Carlisle, in
japanese dress, assisted Mrs.
Colt in serving tea, and added
to the pleasure of the scene by
singing Japanese songs. An
other corner represented Hol-
. land. Mrs. Ed. Bradley was
the presiding genius here. Lou
Use Carlisle, en- costume, assisted
Mrs. Bradley in serving cocoa.
The strains from the music box
enlivened this corner. The
other corner Of the room prom
Used something you never saw
before" The agreement was
carried out to the full for all
who ventured in. The ladies
of this division realized $500
net and are we'll pleased with
their return. Mr.. Forbes kind
} ness in placing his graphaphone
. at the disposal of the ladies all
afternoon was very highly APP
preciated by all. Mrs. Black
burn was chairman of this
division and she has spared no
time or effort to help make the
entertainment the great success
it was.
