Tree Trimming Day


Mabel Watson Payne brought her birthday doll (Baby Penelope) to Saturday's tree-trimming event at her grandmother's house in the East Bay. Baby Penelope immediately appropriated a sock-monkey ornament as a doll of her own (on the principle that big fleas are entitled to little fleas) and settled on the ancient appliquéd quilt under the Christmas tree to direct traffic.
