The Social Service club, which is
an organization of thirty young ma
irons and girls for purposes of char
ity and social betterment work, gave
tea Monday afternoon. and white
elephant sale at the home of Mrs
Robert Carver. one of the members.
and her mother. Mrs. George W. Park
hurst, patroness of the society.
The guests were received by Miss
Grace Koontz. who directed them to
the third floor of the house, where the
billiard room was made into a shop
and market. Around the walls were
arranged counters. on which were Of
fered for sale satin slippers. breakfast
caps, crochet work baby CAPS and
stockings, and on the market tables
were canned fruits and vegetables
milk and cream, and candy On the
billiard table were packages for the
grab" sale. They were numbered
and at a side table corresponding
numbers were sold for rs cents each.
The entertainment consisted In discoy-
ering what the purchase should turn
out to be when it was unwrapped
The chances were strong that the
childless matron would draw a pair OF
baby slippers and the woman who
boards would get a cook book, and
the bookworm would draw a fern dish.
The articles offered for sale are those
brought by members of the club from
their stock of past gifts or purchases
which have been found to be OF little
or no use to the owner. because they
are misfits or the wrong color or not
according to her taste for some reason
They are taken to sales IN the hope
that they may Just suit somebody else
The acquisition of things one doesn't
want is the keystone to the white eIe-
plant sale.
The club sold out their articles
very well. and a silver offering was
was done in the dining room, where
the table was decorated with roses
Mrs. S. S. Estey and Mrs Parkhurst
poured tea. and some of the younger
girls of the organization assisted them
in serving.
Each of the thirty members was ex-
pected to invite ten guests. extending
the invitation to three hundred peo-
pie. The money realized at the parry
is to be used to employ a teacher at
the Redden mission school. which is
the largest undertaking of the club.
The guests all left with bundles IN
der their arms. which will be used
not neeessa rily. to adorn themselves or
their houses. but never mind, some
unsuspecting friends will receive
those same bundles s,ong about the
twenty-fifth of mex. month. And
when the donor wraps up her pack
ages she had better breathe the pray
er of the Kansas City paragrapher,
Forgive us our Christmases as we
forgive those who Christmas against
u.s."
