Sa Fg OCIALACTIVITIES Kiddies Find Happiness in Rainy Day Picnic Do the inclemency of the weather Wednesday afternoon, the outing given to the children of the Chicago Commons by the Ash and Oak Street circles proved to be a great success. Forty-seven children came out from the city, expecting to have an outdoor picnic. But the rain sent them to the shelter of Community House where they were turned loose in the Assembly room to amuse themselves and to be amused. Some of the boys played ball outside during the short intervals of dry sky, and tho-e youngsters who. possessed bathing suits were taken to the beach where the downpour of rain made little difference. Games, devised for the little tots, were played with a great deal of fun. Mrs. Ralph Childs and Mrs. Irving Belote utilized such moments as they could between showers to take others of the children for automobile rides. Dr. Lasier also placed his car at the disposal of the kiddies. At the end of the day each child received some little gift and favor to take back with him, and the way in which each little one clutched his ball, or whirligig or doll was evidence of the affection in which they were held by their owners.
