LITTLE MOTHER GOOSE FOLK.

Opening Day of st. Joints Baznar n
Very Successful One.
Even the rainy weather could not
lessen the pleasure of the young peo-
pie who gathered yesterday afternoon
at the Mother Goose party at st.
Johns Parish Hall, and there was not
an amusement offered. from the grab
bag, about which they crowded in de
light, to that inviting spot for thirsty
little dancers, the lemonade booth, that
they did not make the most of.
There were many quaint figures on
the scene. Little George Saussy and
his tiny partner Miss Helen Strobhar,
as "The Little Old Man and His Wife"
attracted perhaps the most attention,
their makeup was so entirely in keep
ing with the Mother Goose tradition,
and they themselves so cunning, and
entered into the game with such spirit.
Little Miss 'Stfobhar wore al dark
brown Holland frock, with demure
white kerchief crossed on her breast,
a funny old-fashioned black bonnet,
and spectacles. She carried on her
arm tiny basket. with bread and
cheese for refreshments. The little
man wore blue jeans and suspenders,
and a gay-bordered handkerchief hung
out of his hindmost pocket. In front
Of him he trundled red wheelbarrow,
The famous wheelbarrow in which the
little wife was brought home, and to
one handle of this was tied a coun-
tryman's bundle. his belongings done
up in a bright red bandana. The idea
OF the story was cleverly carried out,
and the two youngsters made a very
amusing couple.
The prize for girls was won by little
Miss Strobhar.
