Too Many Cooks Gum Taffy - Pulling Party

Twelve Radcliffe girls gave a tree-trimming and taffy-pulling party at 33 Healy st., Thursday evening, as thanks for a Christmas dinner given them by their head resident, Mrs. William Peach.

The tree got trimmed, finally, but the taffy didn't pull. "We can always blame it on too many cooks," the participants explained. In addition to the dozen residents, ten guests, Mr. and Mrs. Peach, and their six-year-old daughter, Stephanie, all joined in the festivities.

After the third unsuccessful attempt, the guests decided to eat the taffy unpulled. "Id wushndt zo bad," they mumbled through locked jaws.
