This dpty through the entire party, with many ) other little families, are escorted to the cosy waiting room. The waiting room is wide, spacious and airy, with dainty chintz covered; chairs and an abundance of little tables over twenty in all. Several couches are placed around the room where the women may rest im- mediately, if so inclined. Down one side are twenty white beds also ready f6r use by the mothers; or babies can be laid there for a nap within sight of their parents while they are rest- ing.
