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.
A turkey dinner was served last
right, and another is being given
tonight, by the women of Division
3 under Mrs. George M. J’ayne.
