With our tea today. girls, we have
some sailed pecans from New Or
leans that one of our ve-Fifteeners
has sent up to us. While you are
showing your fondness for the Sun
ny South, / will read you the story
OF My First Thrilling Dress that
came to me last week from Gladys,
the author of adelaide Rises"
which we enjoyed so much in jan
uary.
My First Thrilling Dress
It's funny, but that dress that
mother made me for the Christmas
tree exercises is the very first one l
can remember. All the others must
have been the regular baby affairs,
but this thrilling one was red, red
silk!
Now. silk dresses always made me
think of fairy prineesses that the
good and handsome heroes (who
were in every other way out of luck)
rescued from dragons or from be.
hind great hedges Of thorns or from
the enchantment of a wicked old
witch.
So you can SEQ that the very
thought of my having a dress of red
silk was quite sufficient to lift my
young soul up into the clouds.
We were to have a pageant at our
Sunday school Christmas tree enter
tainment on Christmas eve, and an.
other little girl and | were to repre-
sent Mistletoe ana Holly. Holly
was my name, of course-Mistletoe
was in a sweet little green dress with
white socks and shoes and carried
a great big basket of mistletoe on
each arm. My dress was as red as
the holly berries, and I had also red
socks-they were heavenly little
socks-and black patent leather
pumps. q remember how hard il
was not to look at their beautiful
new shininess all the time I was say
ing my pieee.) I carried big baskets
of holly, II on each arm.
Mistletoe and I came on the plat
form first, speaking our little piece
together about, I'VE are Mistletee
and Holly, WI help to make you
jolly" etc, and then she went to her

you can do is to come out openly and

Answer
This is d question which would be
answered differently for every lospi-
tai. When you make your arrange
ments with the hospital ask the head
nurse what you are expected TO
bring. In most cases the mother
takes her toilet articles, slippers,
nightgowns and a kimona. The re-
quirements for the baby differ so
largely that it would be useless to try
and answer this.
