A Barn Dance.

You might send out invitations on pieces of brown wrapping paper to carry out the idea of formality and if you Wish guests to come in costume, so mueh more fun.

Toronto, London, Simeoe and Welland Growing Children Need Much Sleep. Children, at the age of four years need twelve hours sleep a day. At the age of five, eleven hours seems to be sufficient. From the age of eight to eleven, when children are doing active school work, they need from ten to eleven hours sleep; and at twelve to fourteen years, nine to ten hours sleep. Children grow mainly while sleeping and resting, and if they are to develop strong husky bodies they must have plenty of rest and eleep. see Saucepans that have been burnt should never be ffiled with soda water.
