A SANTA CLAUS
DANCE.

A Santa Claus dance is one of the
most delightful of all Christmas frol-
les, and really one of the easiest to
plan, for only one scheme of decora-
ton has to be thought of, only one
idea kept in mind-Santa Claus, Santa
Claus, everywhere-and it is one that
appeals to the youngest as well as the
oldest dancers.
To begin with, write the invitations
on paper or cards which bear the
good saints image. Such paper or
cards can be found everywhere. Pos
tai ca.Ss, at least bearing Santa
Claus ssrtrait will be available, and
these can bear the invitation, and then
be inclosed in an envelope, or else
small gummed Santas can be bought
and pasted to the invitation note
paper. These gummed Santas may
also be used as seals on the envelope.
The invitation may we'll be worded in
Santa's name-for instance:
Santa Claus requests the pleasure
Of your company on the evening Of,
Dec. -, at the home of Mrs. John
Jones, where he is going to spend the
evening"
The house decorations should of
course, include plenty of holly and
Christmas green's, but if possible small
Santas should play a conspicuous part
in the scheme. Paper or china or
cloth-whatever they are-they should
perch over the doors or windows,
cling to holly wreaths and hide them
selves in the green's
The dance orders should have small
Santas painted or printed or pasted
at their head. These orders can be
bought decorated in the large cities.
but any hostess who can use water
colors could make them herself, and
one who cannot use water colors can
use the same sort of little gummed
Santas or Santa Claus heads for these
orders that she used for the seals of
her letters.
These orders should contain four

hall unGer the cocoanut trees has
been rebuilt into apartments with
baths for the accommodation of the
guests who consider this the most de-

weeks stay. Being so convenient to
the city, many tourists run down for
the week end, and there have been
nights when the applications for
rooms could not be filled. Hence
the addition.

of education and the modern spirit

cordial. He gave Mr.. Purcell a pri-

been able to visit Australia some
years ago, when he was in the East.
In spite of the Canadian treaty and

PATRONS DAY AT THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The day was bright and beautiful
which was quite a contrast with Pa
irons Day OF last year. Quite n
number Of the patrons and friends
came out to inspect the work and
display. Regular class work con-
tinued through the day until $50 In
the afternoon when all classes were
dismissed and the attention Of the
teachers were given to explaining
the work on display The display
work consisted Of written class work
with errors and mistakes indicated,
the drawing and writing books used
during the year, special drawings,
maps both drawn and nodded as
well as chart maps indicating the
productions from the various parts
OF the different sections studied, con-
structi0n work of the more elemen-
tary grades. The rugs, caps, hats
and pillows Of the little folks at
tracted much attention and delighted
the visitors.
Much care and taste were dis
played IN arranging the exhibit as
well as in the preparation Of the
| same. The construction work has
been attempted only in the first and
second rooms of each of the wards.
This is the second year for the
first rooms and the first yeur for the
second rooms in this phase Of
school activities. Both ia" pupils
and teachers deserve n great deal Of
credit for what they have been able
to do in these various lines Of work
and should feel much encouraged by
the attendance and the interest man
ifested.
In the High School the exhibit
was not so extensive as in tn" lower
grades. But even here maps,
themes and drawings were in evil
dence. Quite IA number Of the Wis.,
itors were present for the special
program of the High School Liter
AIRY Society. Everyone seemed well
pleased with the progress Of the
school aud the presence of so many
visitors, and the interest manifested
gave the teachers much Ieeded en-
enlargement.
