On the cradle roll are listed the babes from birth to three years of age, and the Presbyterian roll has seventy-five names thereon, many of whom, however, have moved away, and others arriving at the three-yen: age have been graduated into a higher department. The representation at the party Thursday, therefore, was a very good one. The Sunday school room had been arranged like a parlor. with myriads of cushions on the floor, and seats, and in oue corner, a real cradle appeared, on which were tied cards with blue and pink ribbons, bearing the names of the cradle-roll-ers. The rooms were decorated in pink and blue crepe paper streamer festoons, the gallery balustrade and the chandeliers also bearing their s share of the colors. A program was rendered by twenty members of the , class taught by Miss Jean Lutz, who assisted her in entertaining. There , was a speech by Miss Alta Teeple, ' recitations by Miss Rowena Shoaf, and a welcome speech by little M arren Patterson. Two songs were well received, one being a Cradle Roll Ode by the twenty girls of Miss Lutz' class, and the other a “By-lo song. Refreshments consisted of ice cream and cocoanut drops and the children were seated on cunning little chairs, while the mothers and others were served. seated around the room. The youngest babe there was two months old. The napkins were cunningly appro-priate—cradle-roll affairs, with Mother Goose and cradle-roll designs thereon. Miss Lutz is to be complimented for the very excellent way in which she entertained the little ones. Thirty-three children of the Sunday school class of the Evangelical church taught by Mrs. Jacob Tester, with their parents, swelling the number to

fifty or more, went with well filled baskets to the Teeter home Thursday, where they spent the day and had a delicious picaic dinner at noon. Mrs. Teeter took the little tots to a shady grove nearby, where they had the beet times of their Uvea, the parents In the meanwhile extending several long tables in the yard, which they spread with good things of all kinds to Mt The pastor, the Rev. D. O. Wise, was a dinner guest also. As they were sitting at the dinner table enjoying the feast. Mr. Tester’s brother and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tester, of Caney, Kans., arrived wholly unannounced and thus gave them a very great surprise. Mrs. L. L. Baumgait- ! ner of Liun Grove was another out-of-town guest at this delightful social gathering. , The Christian Sunday school nfenickers who spent Thursday at Robinson park, report one of the best times of their lives. Between eighty and eighty-five of the members of the Christian school, besides many othei >. attended and enjoyed the delights of the park, with dinner at noon. The children especially liked the children's . playground, and all the diveisions of , ’ the park helped make the dav one of happiness.
