NURSERY DEP PARTMENT
AID TO BUSY WOMEN
SHOPPERS LEAVE BABIES IN
GOOD HANDS
Bazaar of National Congress o.
Mothers for Charitable Purpose
Promises to Be Huge
Success

A novel feature connected with the
bazaar being held by the National Con-
gress of Mothers in Los Angeles is the
kindergarten nursery department
where mothers can leave their little
children in good care while shopping.
The idea of attaching the kindergar-
ten nursery department to the bazaar
was originated by Mrs. Johanna L.
Harris, so that the mothers might
leave their little ones by paying 10
cents each while on a shopping tour,
thus assisting the mother in her
Christmas shopping and at the same
time helping to swell the fund of the
bazaar. This department opened yes
| terday ahead of the time set, with
| three little tots, each of which received
| a red heart-shaped check. The first
one receiving a check was Roy Neil, a
little golden-headed tot, 3 years old
Upon presenting a duplicate check
each mother is given her little one.
The bazaar proper will begin this
morning at 10 o'clock at GIG South
| Broadway and will continue over Sat
urday. A brass band will render
music in front of the building this
afternoon. From 8 to o'clock the
| Grand avenue public school orchestra
will render music in the hall. The
Smead orchestra will play this even
ing.
Luncheons will be served all day
and evening on both days. The officials
of the National Congress of Mothers
are very grateful for the assistance
rendered by E. S. Rawley, G. w
Walker and DR.. H. N. Avery, who do
mated the use of the hall for the bazaar;
also to the merchants, chamber OF
| commerce and all others who have
| literally contributed toward the good
of the children of the nation.
