JOLLY EVENINGS. Dear Peter Pan, —A few weeks ago our Sunday School held Its anniversary. I went along at liair-past live and we played together until the superintendent came and we had tea. The tables were gaily decorated with blue and yellow paper and vases or orange Jonquils. While we had our tea we wore fancy paper hats. Afterwards we played Nuts and May, Oranges . and Lemons, The Farmer In the Dell and many other games. Then we gave our Items arter which came the prize giving. I got a book called “Ann Judson of Burma.’’ After supper I went home arter a pleasant evening. Not long arterwards I was asked to a party. I was called for and taken out by car. We played many Interesting games some of which I had never played before. At tea we had cake, jelly, Trult salad and cream, peanuts, sweets and birthday cake. After tea we played Land, Sea and Air, Forfeits and Postman’s Knock. A few days ago I went to the Institute Husband’s Evening until the Items were finished. There was a song by a lady and one by live ladles. Other Items were a play called “Wanted—a Chicken,” a Dutch doll dance and a sketch by seven Institute members. The items were splendid, so I went home tired after a happy evening, spring has come again and aren’t the days, flowers, trees and birds lovely? I think Spring Is wonderful, dont’ you, Peter?—.
