° FlC^TOMEi Originality Is Feature of Toys Sold at Bazar First Central Congregational Church Function Features Animals of Burgess Bedtime Stories. Toys, designed to show Peter Rab bit, Mamma and Papa Bear, Mr. Owl, Jennie Wren and other characters ot the Burgess Bedtime Stories, were one of a number of original ideas worked out at the Christmas bazar in the First Central Congregational church yesterday and today. These toys were drawn on wood, cut out. glued together and painted in gay colors by members of the younger business women's division of the chrreh. under the direction of Miss Dorothy Gray, art teacher In the public schools. Several of the fig ures were designed by Miss Gray. The girls have met regularly Monday evenings since the first of October, and sometimes twice a week, in order to finish scores of these <oys. Now a procession of cheery little figures, familiar to readers of the Burgess .stories, running in The Omaha Bee, overflows the booth of the division and promenades across the nearby i hlmney and bookcase. Tumbling Tom Popular. Another popular toy offered at the booth is the Tdmbling Toni, which will turn somersaults from one end to the other of his parallel bars, when given a shove. Aprons without strings, hung on a broken hoop of metal, are another original idea shown at this bazar which finds favor in the sight of busy housewives. These aprons .can be slipped off the hoop and laundered flat or run through a mangle. They can he snatched off without bothering to untie strings or fastenings when their wearer has to r^eet guests at the dor, while the hoop makes a convenient thing by which to hang them. Oay rag rugs made by a committee of church women under Mrs. Robert Grant form a feature of the booth oc cupied by Division H. Shipment From China. Ivory and sandalwood Imported from China are to tic sold at a booth conducted by Mrs. F. P. Isjomis. These novelties did not arrive in time to Ire sold yesterday, but the booth Is expected to be ready todat'. Finely graded Chinese tea, raised and pack ed by the boys of the Chinese mission at Foochow, China, and scented with jasmine blossoms, will be another feature of this table. Lunches are served in the gaily decorated upstairs hallway by women of Division -1 under Mrs. N. R. Roas oner. Tall red Christmas candles on each table and seven-branch candel abra on ledges in the wall add to the holid«yr• aspect of this feature.
