GRADY, Maxacen THE CHRISTMAS CLUBS, What the Children Said and Did at the Franklin School Saturday. About one hundred children of all ages, from little tots attended by nurses to young masters and misses who seemed to be in doubt whether they should be classed as “young people” or as “young gentlemen and ladies,” assembled in the hall at the Franklin School butlding Satur- Gay afternoon for the purpose of reorganizing the Children’s Christmas club of the second di- vision. Many of the little ones wore the badges of lust year’s Christmas club—a red ribbon marked “C.C.C, 1884,” and having a little bell suspended from the lower end. Mrs, Jno. A. Baker, Mrs. R. Ross Perry, Mrs. 1 Ridge, Mrs, FM Ratber ued Meme i ts Perry and Reginald Fendall_ met with the chil- dren. The ehildren besieged Mr. Perry, who is regarded by them as the highest authority on Christmas clubs, with hundreds of questions. Finally Mr. Perry motioned to the children to take seats. “Sit down; I can tell you all about it together better than I can tell one at a time.” ‘Then the children, in a flutter, took their seats, and when they were in perfect order Mr. Perry went on to describe what was to be done. He sald he thought there would have been more ehildren present if longer notice had been glven in the papers, Xu don't all read the papers, do you?” he asked. it the little ones In chorus. ery day es,"" in chorus again. ponior many iare there here who were mem- rs of the Christmas club two years ago—the first Christmas elub?” : In answer to this question about half of the young people present held up thelr bands, “Weill,” said Mr, Perry, continuing, “we are going to meet here every Saturday at two o'clock until we have the Christmas dinner, You must tell all your little friends who be- longed to the club last year or who would like to belong. Miud, the members of the club will meet here, not those who are to be invited to the dinner. Next Saturday we are going to have somebody here to meet you. Who do you think it is? Can you guess?” onaliss Cleveland,” ilyped haifa dozen little mes. “Yes, Miss Cleveland, You could not have Gnossed that. Somebody must have told you, iss Cleveland promised me that she would come here, if she possibly could, next Saturday at two o'clock, or else would write to you some thing I could read to you,” “Do you recollect what ‘you have to do to be- come members of the club?” asked Mr, Perry. “Yes,” shouted a dozen little ones, and then Tose @ confused sound, in which the only words that could be made out were “ten cents.” “Yes, that’s right,” said Mr. Perry, “You must bring ten cenis, Next Saturday, then, we expect you to come here and have al. the other members you know come. You must bring ten cents and put your names down. You are members of thé club and have to pay, you know, that way every year, just as men’ pay every year in their clubs: Next Saturday, when you come, we will have the club badges ready to ; this year give un. Last year they were re they will be bine.” Mr, Perry, atter further de- tailing what was to be done, usked, “What day does Christmas come _n this year?” ‘riday,” was the response, in a loud shout. ‘ou know that beiter than anything else,” gald Mr. verry, smiling. | “Now, th.
