pers into view.
If you would meet these creatures four
And maybe several others more,
Then come prepared for work and play
To Grangers' hall, March first, the day_.

On the invitation cards, tiny hares, lions, lambs, or sprays of pussy
willows can be outlined or traced by means of carbon paper from
pictures.

The guests upon arrival draw from a basket containing tiny toy or
cracker lions, lambs, rabbits and cats, whichever kind of favor they
wish.

According to the favor each one draws, the guests take their places
respectively at the March hare table, the lion table, the lamb table,
or the pussy willow table. Each table is marked by a distinguishing
centerpiece: at the March hare table is a plaster rabbit, at the lion
table, a toy lion; the lamb table has a woolly lamb on wheels, and the
pussy willow table, a bunch of pussy willows or a stuffed cat.

The fun is now ready to begin, for with the implements and materials
provided at each table the guests are required to produce a facsimile
of the animal for which the table is named. Different materials
are provided at each table, so there is no monotony, as the guests
progress from table to table after half an hour's stay at each one in
turn.

Modeling clay is the medium in which the March hares are to be done,
and no implements except fingers are supposed to be used, though if
a boy slyly makes use of his jack-knife, there are no embarrassing
questions asked.

The lions are to be carved from potatoes with the aid of little
kitchen vegetable knives, and the lambs are to be fashioned from
cotton wool, matches, and mucilage.

At the pussy willow table the guests must show how expert they can be
at cutting cats, free hand, from flannel. Beads for eyes, and floss
and bristles for whiskers, are also furnished.

Prizes are given for the best and the worst specimen at each table.

A rabbit's foot charm, a small reproduction of the Barye lion, or
the well-known Perry picture of a lion, a Dresden-china lamb or
shepherdess, and a pussy-cat plate, pincushion, or paper weight are
suggestions for first prizes, and four little tin horns painted green
may be given as booby prizes to the four "greenhorns" who have the
worst showing.

AN AUTUMN LEAF DANCE

In the fall, after school has opened, some class often likes to give
a reception to the entering class. An autumn leaf dance in October is
the prettiest kind of one to have.
