Yesterdays weather was not in ae-
cord with Children s Day. but while
| the rain and murkiness dampened the
pretty white dresses and gay ribbons
| it did not dampen the ardor or enthu.
siasm of the little ones, who were to
take part in the program. There was
a good attendance at all of the church
es, despite the weather, only a few
absenting themselves because of the
| failure of the sun TO shine.
The children looked their prettiest
in dainty white dresses and white
shoes and many of the boys not TO be
outdone were also dressed in white.
| The decorations in all of the churches
were elaborate, the field daisy playing
a conspicuous part. There were gar
lands of daisies, arches of daisies, jar
diniers of daisies, besides potted
palms and ferns At the First NJ. f..

ular attention to preparing for Chill
dren's day and this year special fea-
ture was the music, aided by the ac-
compartment of piano, organ and sew

sAt the Presbyterian Church the exer-
cises were held in the morning at the
II O'Clock service. and the program
published in Saturdays Capital was
practically carried out. The same is
true of the Maryland Avenue M. f..
