TWELFTH NIGHT REVEL.
italian Tots of Sunday kindergarten
Hare Strenuous Time.

When Mamie Casazza went TO bed in her
tenement house home at No. rs Mulberry-st.
last night and Charles Gardella sought his
downy couch at No. Ba1terst- IL was TO dream
happy dreams of a six-decker Twelfth Night
cake, all flowers and frostng on top; OF other
dark eyed Italian children in yellow robes who
danced and sang; of a dais full OF strange
women, with and one little boy who
stared and laughed as If they were looking at
a ZOO and finally of themselves, KING and
queen of the Twelfth Night revels.
All these things either were happened at
the Twelfth Night party of the Sunday Kinder
garten yesterday at Boiletino Hall, No. IFS Park
Row. If perchance any reader Of the 'Bollettno
della Sierra" which is published at No us,
should find the editorial mind slightly muddied
in to-night's issue this is to explain that Mamie
and at least seventeen other young persons in
vaded the editorial sanctum. turned it into a
drawing room-in fact, mixing up their wreaths
and buttonhooks and hair ribbons with the
obituaries and market specials and filling the
room with a childish babel, till even the plaster
cast of Sgnor Roosevelt surrounding the Amer
lean eagle seemed to cry aloud for a less strenu-
GUS life
First the programme came a song and
robes. One, who wore boys derby and carried
a cane, upbraided the other Tor maxim eyes at
the fellers passing by" Then the other indig-
nantly repudiated the suggestion on the ground
that 81 only teasing you to find out if your
love true" Then they put their arms round
each others neck and took three fancy steps
backward and forward.
They have two classes at the Sunday
kindergarten. One is in the history Of art, the
other is in philosophy. Nobody seemed to know
from which class the maxim eyes at the fell
lers'' number emanated.
Then followed snatches of song about Sister
May, who crossed the bridge of gold and needed
praying for, and about poor little rich girl
whose mother was always busy out in so-cl-
et-ee."
When the Twelfth Night procession appeared
everybody got up and howled First came six
honor girls in yellow silk, bearing Christmas
wreaths suspended from white curtain poles by
way of maces. King Charlie came next IN pur-
pie velvet, very sumptuous, with a gold crown
on his head. escorting Queen Mamie VINO hao
yellow silk robe. with train borne by
pages and a pearl and silver crown on top OF
her pompadour.
Neither seemed in the least agtated when
cheney were presented to them by DR.. Charles
w de Lyon Nichols, Charlie receiving a star
with halo prize badge and Mamie gold ring
set with lovely red stones Nor were the honor
pirIe abashed when each received gold riIss
