tions of the church is the Mothers
Circle, which owes its origin and
much of its activity to Mrs. 3. c,
Smith. From a few mothers II has
grown until now the houses where
the meetings are held are taxed
to their utmost to accommodate
those who go. The babies come,
too, and here is one place where
their disturbance doesn't disturb.

tered the sunday school and are
no longer on the cradle roll, also
come. The meeting for February
was held at the home of Mrs.
Trimble 7. Wells on Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was a delightful oc-
casion. one of the attractions was
a doll play, given by four girls of
the Junior department of the Sum
day school, Margaret Collister,
Elsie Flaws, Helen Antoine and
| Ida Noble. 1t was a missionary
play. too. The outcome Of the doll
party, given by one OF the little
mothers, was that they all sent
their dollies to the little girls in
! heather lands who have no dolls
to play mother with as American
girls have. 1t was very creditably
done. The girls We're coached by
