At the age of 91 years, she

the former. Main feature of
the day's program was a most
interesting talk by Miss Bes

about Holly". Following this
was a busy workshop period
when the seventeen ladies
present worked on decorative
articles or gifts. In Mrs.
Weeks’ larger-t h a n-average
t n d attractive breakfast
room, most of the women,
'.<1 by Mrs. Willis, made
“Kissing Balls”—a new fad.
Sharing their choice codec
lions of ribbon, velvet, odd
hit.' of costume jewelry,
.sequins, spangles, etc., they
enjoyed a most delightful
fellowship hour while, creat
ing these really lovely pieces
of decoration not forgetting
to add the all-important mist
letoe, of course.
The whole house was re
dolent and glowing with
Christmas atmosphere, and
delicious refreshments in
similar motif completed the
altogether enjoyable after
noon.
