My friends daughter is a most
beautiful dancer and we attended a
carnival given by the dancing school
she attends. Really the fancy
dances might be termed drills. The
children ranged in age from 8 to -.
The most attractive feature on the
programme was the flower dance.
The children were arrayed in the
most exquisite dresses, made of
white and pink. Those in white
had semi-circles of lovely white
roses, those in pink, semi-circles of
roses to correspond in color. With
these garlands they formed wonder
full figures.
Children's day in the Fort
Washington Presbyterian Bib le
school was celebrated with most
appropriate programme. The de-
corations were refreshed by the
fragrance of apple blossoms.
l was reminded of the apple
orchards around Niagara Falls, and
thought they must be brought from
there, but the minister explained
that the children had been given a
picnic and had carried many rolls of
crepe paper on which were scattered
apple blossoms. The children were
supplied with scissors and cut
out many thousand blossoms.
On every other pew was a rod
decorated with green with many
apples leaves. On top was basket
containing the branches of apple
trees on which had been placed the
thousands of apple blossoms cut out
by the children.
The pulpit and all the church was
decorated with these apple blossoms
which were as attractive as any dec
orations had ever seen.
One of the most instructive and
impressive sermons I ever listened
to was delivered by DR.. Martin.
The subject was The Nations at
War" This sermon was illustrated
by one hundred very large and per-
feet moving pictures which took us
directly to Belgium, France, Italy,
Germany, Russia and explained
what these nations are fighting for.
He told bravely, but truly, our part
in the conflict.
Last for this letter but by no
means least were the lessons taught
by the greatest lecturer in America,
DR.. Elmore FRANKIE. Many asked
questions, those of all nation
alties and beliefs and even inhdels.
You will know it was instructive,
entertainingand itseemed miraculous
how clearly he answered the most
confusing questions.
