three days ago by the mother, the
father having gone some time previ-
ousIy. They had only a half loaf OF

ton informed Mr. Garfield that the

which will be done today. Later Cap

rangements to please them with some
cake and lemonade. Before partaking
of the refreshments they sang several
of their songs. and after feasting they
listened to two stories read by Miss

ideas of what children may do to in

their appreciation of their pleasant
time by giving Mrs. Fields three rous-

on vacations, but some came home so
as to attend the meeting.
