By RUTH ANNE RUSSELL.


Birds Christmas dinner party Misses
Rose Roberts and Marian Spruance
had charge OF this clever little playlet.

Mrs. Ruggles very successfully. The
children were Misses Helen Sharb,
Ruth King, Rose Roberts, Marian Spru-
ance. Ruth Wirhe. Evelyn Spruance,
Teddie Foster. France Hullihen, and
Louise Hullihen The party costumes Of
these children were indeed wonderful
and the lesson in manners given by
Mrs. Ruggles, who was a McGricl. was
very amusing. Between courses, the
girls called for speeches from the
guests. Mrs. Warner and Chancellor
Curtis complied to the request after
some urging. Dean Robinson also
spoke OF her belief that the splendid
Christmas spent at the college would
last through the year. Dean Robinson
also read the greetings to the college
which had come from the classes Of
1918. 1919 and 1920 from DR.. Samuel
| c. Mitchell and from other numerous
/ friends Of the college. Chancellor
/ Curtis very obigingly said he would
read the Chinese greeting sent by
| ChindOn Nui, the Chinese student at
| the Womens College last year. Al
| though the reading sounded very
| much like BOW-WOW-WOW, vet the
/ girls enjoyed it very much The girls
also found time during the dinner 90
sing many Christmas carols. The din
