The dainty red and white paper chandeliers, the cozy, olcll-fashioned fireplaces lending with their bright colored candles and hand-manufactured mantle clocks, a touch of hominess gave evidence of the artistic ability of St. Mary's pupils. Santa Claus seems to have been particularly lavish this' year for he left in each of the school rooms an elaborately decked Christmas tree. Perhaps this unlooked for touch was effected by his view of the attractive sand tables depicting Christmas scenes of the mean, lowly birthplace of Our Blessed little Saviour, of jolly shoppers, kind mothers -with chubby little rosy-cheeked tots who love to stare at pleading little orphan dolls w at dashing toy electric trains, and of a modern church and village commemorating the birth of the Babe. No doubt about it, Santa was very much pleased with the results, but if his jolly spirit lingered until the next morning, Wednesday, Dec. 19, he would have chuckled quietly as the tots in wide-eyed, open-mouthed, amazed wonder stared as though bewitched at the marvel wrought over night. A few faint awe-filled little "ohs" and "ahs" were followed" by a storm of hand-clapping. After the first rapture wore off the enchanted groups returned to themselves and settled down to enjoy the programs and parties in the individual rooms. Readings were given, songs sung Is SOCIAL AND C DOINGS Of Daughters of G. A. R. The members of the James B. Perry Fortress of the Daughters of the G. A.
