 Three Big Days
 There are three eventful days for the children in the sewing school year, Christmas, Easter and the last session, exhibition day" At Christ mas the children are urged to bring some gifts for others, usually the Day Nursery or some sick among their own acquaintance. A special program. consisting of Christmas hymns, Christmas story and a play appropriate to the occasion, is planned for the last day before the holidays. Each play that is pre- sented has some beautiful message. At the close of the session the chill dren are presented with gift. Last Christmas each girl was given mounted picture of "The Announce ment to the Shepherds by Flock horst. from the school and an orange from the Sunshine society. At Easter the school presents every child with a, plant or blossom. This year the plants were fine sturdy lit tie begonias. Many of the children are taking good care of them and are making them grow.
 On exhibition day the samples which are we'll made are put on dis play and friends and parents are invited to come and see them and to enjoy the exercises.

 For the past two years the Mis- sionary society has conducted a branch school in the Pennington avenue district for girls who are too Tar out to come 10 the center for sewing school. Two rooms were rented, furniture was given, includ- ing a sewing machine. and an organ was loaned. Two clubs have been organized. each meeting once a week. The "Lenda-Hand" club is made up Of 10 high school girls under the direction of Mrs. R. II. Fuller and Mrs. R. s. Hawthorne. The girls have learned basketry, embroidery, machine sewing, etc. They have also made curtains for two of the rooms. They have a short ritual and conduct their business in orderly fashion.
