friends and relatives were present and
the gifts were many and valuable.
A most delicious sweet course was
served. The club girls, in their beauti

the dining room, which was most artis
tically decorated in the Christmas col
ors. ' A GUEST.
The pastor and members of the Tab
ernacle Baptist church cordially invite

Since Masonry is profoundly Chris

II is tin* opinion of many educators
Hail a week more vacation during the
holiday season does not interfere with
the-year' RWnrk of tin- pupil, for white
the Christmas spirit is in the air then
little else thought of by tho ohiI
