A Sand Pile Party The sand pile party was Indeed an Innovation in children's parties and it proved a happy one. It all came about in this way. A mother of three, whose babies dearly loved conipanj decided she would have a party that would not burden the mothers by getting get-ting party frocks and not burden the kiddles by wearing them, so she sent out cunning cards illustrated with "sunbonnet babies." a.-king about a dozen children to appear in their i rompers in her yard irom Z to 5 one midsummer day not long ago. On the hour the merry throng found a pile of delightfully dean sand and a set of sand toys for each one. also a 'tin pall and little shovel. There was a low (able, a small tub i of water for ini.xinc sand into the right 'consistency for pies, cakes and all sorts of fancy shapes, and. best of all, there were tin shakers for "salt" and "sugar" and a dish of flour to make realistic frostim? and no one had to be warned not to spoil fine lingerie frocks It was just a jolly, happy time such as kiddies love, and at 5 o'clock they were served bowls of bread and milk, wee ramekins filled with vanilla ice cream, tiny sandwiches of minced chicken, and individual angel food .cakes Sticks of candy made into dolls I by a skilfull twistinp of crepe paper, were favors, and each one took home the sand toys as a souvenir. The repast took the place of the evening 'meal, so the little guests were ready to tumble richt into bed. as the sand man comes early to such wee folk.
