Their hands have been busy in mastering the difficulties of knot tying, fire- making, and simple first aid. A joint meeting of the five groups of Camp Fire Girls was held in the assemby room of Community house, Friday, December 17. Each one, in this number of nearly one hundred girls, was anxious to help her group make the best possible record in these things. Some of the Boy Scouts and members of the Camp Fire Coun- cils, acted as judges. There was also a short drill under Mr. Davies, and the meeting closed with the singing of camp fire songs and Christmas carols, led by Mrs. David Kennicott. Two talks on health will be given to the Camp Fire Girls after the first of January by the village nurse, Miss Mary Garretson. She will follow these by a series of lessons to each group on home nursing. It is possi- ble to give instruction of a practical nature in these smaller groups, and to prepare the girls to meet with helpfulness, the demands of emerg- encies or short illnesses in the home. An exhibition of some of the work will be given at the completion of the course. ein Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway Watson, of 224 Sunset road, and Mr .and Mrs. Laird Bell, of Winnetka, will enter- tain two groups of members of the Harvard Glee club, which will give a concert at Orchestra hall on Monday, at dinner on Christmas Day, at one of the downtown clubs or hotels.
