There was little for girU to do outside the home and as a matter of course, they were supported. Mothers saw the point and persuaffed" the fathers to furnish means that they and the girls could visit the few store? in quest of suitable, adorning for the great event. A half dozen girls here and there met at houses most convenient for the group and the young men of the Hundreds of Christmq* worship* pers were ii» attendance at the beautiful services of the various churches in this vicinity on Christmas day and the previous Sunday.
