As soon as the quests were
assembled the com mil tee* on out
I

\\.is recalled and reqinivu to
guess the man’s name from
items coneernii y him, given h\
the players, Yne Board were
surprised and pleased at the
children’s Knowiedgt of hi-tor.y.
A f ter this came the serving
of a real feast, by the children,
pi which they justified Mrs.
Harrais’s idea that at least one
social affair every school year is
a valuable part of a child’s educa
lion. Every tinny was so nicely
planned that sixteen people were
served without delay or confus.
ion Paper plates and napkins
weir deftly distributed; Marian
dipped the cocoa and Erankie
served it; Leonard saw that every
one had all the sandwiches that
he could eat; Verna followed up
with two dehc.ous calces cut in
generous slices; Margaret had
charge of the silverware, and
Louise rushed tne sugar bowl.
In the next relay home-made
candy, mixed nuts, and sweet
juicy pears were served with the
same quiet skill. You iiad a feel
ing that everyone knew just
what he was doing anu when to
do it, and that many grown
entertainers might envy them
their poise and ease of manner.
Every one was so generous
ly remembered that, when each
one’s valentines were arranged
on a desk, they made quite a
display.
