While the orchestra played "Rlensl" the children marched around the room by twos, to the delight of the admir ing mothers. Then the "real" party arrived ice cream and - cake were served by Mrs. Frank Bets and her as sistants. So, although one tot fell out of her chair, and one was bitterly disappointed because she had not seen Santa Claus, and another shrilly plpM out during a pause, much to- her own discomposure that she 'had a bath this morning,' the party was entirely a happy one.
