mas. when Mrs. Harry Stailey, as
hostess to that organization, pro-
| vided Christmas tree. from which
Mr. Arthur Gardner in Santa Claus re-
gala dispersed dainty gifts to all the
| mothers present. 1t was into this home
that the first little child came after the
| Mothers Club was formed. and each lit
tie token was suggestive of babyhood.
| Tiny ping-pong calendars and gauze
Christmas stockings and miniature horns
were handed out by the genial imper-
senator of Kris krinsle. In the pastry
served each guest discovered, some quite
forcibly, little dolls. which the hostess de-
| clared could be swallowed without dis
comfort. but the preference seemed to be
| in favor of retaining them souvenirs.
When departing tiny pewter candlesticks
| and candles were given each mother TO
| light her entrance into the new year.
