searching for peanuts. The one who
gathered most OF those nuts into her
paper sack won real little Russian
samovar for tea-parties in the nursery
! and the winner was Emmie Mont
gomery. The second prize was a dolls
work-basket, lined with pink satin
and having thimble, scissors and
other things to fit lady dolls fingers,
and this lovely prize fell to Elizabeth
Nolan. Helen Faw who is a gentle,
dreamy little blonde, fell so far be-
hind In the chase, she was consoled
with an artificial peanut in which
tiny doll was Graded. There was
big box in which toys, tied up in It's
sue paper with a loop exposed, were
tished out by the children who could
select what they caught at the pond.
All the guests brought dear little gifts

PENCIL PARAGRAPHS

Mrs. Meinert is doubling the size of
her rose garden and will have more
flowers than ever and a greater variety.
1t will be only few weeks before the
herald jonquil will blow his golden
horn to summon spring blossoms to
dress parade, and the children Will be
/ going about with hands full of beauty
and fragrance and hearts that keep
time to the dancing of the daffodils.
One OF the sweetest growing plants
in town is a Chinese sacred lily be-
longing to Mrs. j. W. Henderson.
There are several bulbs planted in rich
earth in a large tiower-pot and the
lilies are now in full bloom. They do
much better in pot of earth than in a
bowl of water and stones, Mrs.
Henderson says, and her plants are
beautiful. They were a present from
Quong Sing, the Chinese laundry man
whose establishment is in one of Mr..
Henderson's buildings. This China
man bestows various presents upon
his landlord and keeps a supply of
those queer nuts, inclosing "goody"
like raisin, that he calls ''poufongs"
and gives to children when they go on
errands to his laundry. Mr.. Hender-
son has white silk handkerchiefs,
slippers, fans, boxes OF fine tea and
two silk table covers, embroidered in
China, all given as Christmas presents
by Quong Sing. These covers are
yard square OF creamy silk and are
bordered in designs of pink roses and
green foliage. One has in the center
a United States flag and Chinese
flag, a blue dragon on yellow
ground, with an eagle holding arrows
in its claws under the crossed flag
stats. Flowers and trailing foliage
surround these emblems. The other
cover is similar except the central de-
sign which is composed OF two birds
that are pathological Nightmares.
One is parrot in flight with head
like BILLY Big Eye" our swamp owl,
and the other is a peacock, standing
on one foot with the other drawn up
like a threatening hand, and with a
tail more like that OF dragons than
fowls, and the head like nothing ever
seen in feathers.
Speaking OF Christmas presents re-
minds me OF Mrs. Nesbitt's Sorority
pins that are gifts from her Sunday
School class. She wears q brooch OF
pearls at her throat and on the left
side Just above her heart in beautiful
row, are the pins emblamatic OF four
orders, dearest to her. First is the
u. ID. c. of which she is an honorary
vice president for life, next the pin of
the federated memorial associations,
then the beautiful design of the d. A.
r. then the Woman's National Leaf que,
which is comparatively recent
organization.
Sundays papers announce the in
tention OF Mrs. Hetty Green to endow
a scheme of education for women as
housekeepers. She has millions to
give and this good work will be the
best monument to her memory.
