came in carrying strips of white
cloth, which they gave to each one
present, and of course the A. Fl.
Club wondered, but we were each
presented with a pin and told to
blindfold ourselves, then they hand
ed out twenty articles to be handled
by each one, and a woman realizes
for once how many things another
woman wears. On the papers being
collected, Mrs. Mary Morse received
the prize, a beautiful picture, as she
had every article correct. Then
packages were handed each one to
trade. then open and write adver-
tisements on and they were a well
written lot.
