The annual meeting of the Cape May County Otmncil for the promotion of Domestic Arts, was held in the rooms of the Superintendent of County Inartuction in Oourt House, last Thursday and with good representation. In the unavoidable absence of the secretary. Mrs. Virginia Chester, there was no report except as Miss Lucy Corson, the acting secretary, had personal notes to offer as questions came up. The President, lAaxon "W. Handy-showed the progress made in the year in the entry of the contest Uu- week previous had been over 600 articles as against 40 of the contest at he county fair the year before.

The appointment of Miss Ethel Nickerson of " Be* Isle as County Organizer jtf Domestic Art Oirolcs. was approved and every ( possible assistance it was promised would be rendered. Mrs. Eva M. Stafford of Palermo gave the conditions in Upper Township and referred to the splendid exhibit made in the reeetit Oontest in Court House by its (■ Circles, as proof of progress. The Honu ' , and School of Tuckahoe was pepresented , in the Congress of Mothers by Miss ' Regina K Icefield, a former teacher and ' j ■till a member. The events of the year ' v had been a luncheon for those attending , the teachers' Institute in March, and by i which they had "cleared $33, an evening at whjch Miss Anna Reygate of the Girls' Normal School.

Every night they have jolly family j parties and feasts; a few gifts are given | out each evening. But they have no j stocking- hanging, no mythical Santa j C.aus and no Christmas tree. Their j substitute for the latter is the pinata— j | which would be a popular novelty if in - ' ' to American homes. "These pinatas ar- queer figures | about four feet tall which dangle by j the neck or head from a rod six feet ' They are made of paper over a ' oblong jar, which forms their ' body and holds the Cbri-tmas gifts i look like huge paper dolls in holi- j | day array; there are queer animals. ■ crazy clowns, gorgeou- dancing girls, j ! etc.. ail decidedly fat in body and d.*- | cidedly flat in .the extremities. 1 "Early in December, street corners I and squares are crowded with vendors j who offer these grotesque tinseled crea- ! j tions nl whatever price they can get - from passersby.
