With few exceptions, we can do for ourselves everything that any one can do for us. Begin now to do what you think you think you can do. Don’t wait for some one to hold your hand. Step out. If you are blessed with an in- telligence at all, you’ll be amazed to discover that in a short time you are as competent as those who already oc- cupy the field. Just a little talent, combined with genuine industry and persistence, will carry almost any person to a fair de- gree of success. The chief difference between those who get somewhere and those who get nowhere is that the former have the courage to make an early start. By William Feather.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. Has the spirit of Christmas so far escaped us that we can no longer call it back? Has the hurry and rush of this annual festival become the con- tagious impetus that makes it go, a feeling of the real old Christmas within every one of us? ; 71-16-tf |ILUMBER? or is there still somewhere back of it all | Oh, Yes! W.R. Shope Lumber Co. Lumber, Sash, Doors, Millwork and Roofing Call Bellefonte 432 Let it come out; don’t choke it’ back. the most magnificent thing that mon- ey can buy. “What shall we have for Christ- | mas dinner?” That is a question that challenges every housewife as the holiday approaches. Certain things she must have—as fowl and cran- berry sauce, and mince usual items, but not absolutely required by rule, as stuffing with the owl, and rich giblet gravy, and sweet and Irish potatoes, and some kind of salad and fruit cake. It would seem from the foregoing list that Christ- mas dinner is pretty well prescribed, cut and dried, and requires no thought or planning on the part of the one who is responsible for it. This assumption, however, is far from the truth. Greater choice is possible than seems so on the surface, and the feast may be a success or a failure in direct proportion to the wisdom with which it is planned. In common with other features of the big holiday —as the tree, and the gifts and the greetings—we ought to plan first of all our Christmas dinner should leave pleasant memories. This thing is too often what it does not do. Pleasant though it may be in the eat- ing, it can hardly be called a success | if it’s followed by illness or even dis- comfort. A hostess cannot prevent her guests from over-eating, but at east she can prevent her menu from being overloaded with the wrong kind of food (meaning particularly acid- producing foods), and can see that one kind is properly balanced with the other. It probably is impossible to pre- vent a degree of over-eating at Christmas dinner—we are all “big children” when it comes to that—but certain precautions may be taken. For instance, the mother of the fam- ily may see to it the quality of food materials for her Christmas dinner is of the best, and she may see the big dinner is preceded by a simple break- fast, including pure "fruit juices and perhaps a cereal. Whole wheat grain cereal would be excellent since it pre- pares the system for the big dinner to come by regulating the eliminating organs and stimulating the system. This is a precaution especially neces- sary to take for children, who are apt to clog their systems later in the day through overindulgence in sweets and other heavy foods. Now for the Christmas dinner menu itself. A little common sense will be worth a deal of remedies later. Why not start with a clear soup ? | This prepares the stomach for the heavy food, does not contribute much food valug 2 over-eati by filling the stomach with a light liquid at the start that stimulates the action of the dgéstive fluids. Chicken, turkey, or roast pig may follow, with potatoes baked preferred to other ways of cooking them. It is Fulzesteld that the custom of serving 0 rather absurd custom, is never more out of place than at the heaviest din- | ner of the year; so why not dispense ' with it? Creamed. onions, squash and lettuce are important vegetables, full of important minerals without -being heayy; they can well have their place at our dinner. Lettuce, particularly, is needed for the roughage and min- eral salts to help regulate the system. Nuts, grapes and apples are excellent to serve as dessert; and while we are speaking of fruits, let us add that a glass of good sweet cider, served an hour before the dinner will be of ser- vice in flushing out and sterilizing the stomach and intestines and stimula- ting the action of the eliminating and | digestive organs. The final words of advice for the successful Christmas dinner are: First, eliminate judiciously from the menu—don’t overlook it; second, have plenty of the lighter vegetables that give bulk without heaviness. To decorate a tree tastefully is really quite an art, and much ‘time and money may be used upon it, but to get the best results at the lowest price is to have a definite style for the tree. For instance, the following suggestion may prove interesting to the uninitiated. First select a symme- trically shaped tree, from six to eight ' feet high, according to the height of the ceiling of the room in which it is to stand; if the branches are too thick cut them out; and weight them a few hours before trimming if they do not spread readily. A silver tree is made after the fol- lowing idea. Take a quantity of Eng- lish walnuts, insert a tack in the stem end and tie black linen t}feads on each tack, then dip each in the white of eggs and roll in silver leaf shaping with the fingers at the top, and hang a nut on the end of every twig; add silver and white cornuco- pias, silver fishes, frogs, turtles, bas- kets, faires, balls, and over all throw.| Th silver tinsel like a cobweb; use white candles and, last of all, take a handful of powdered mica and sprinkle over the branches; bank the base with a mass of fluffy white tarletan, when it is lighted the effect of the tree is po) beautiful and 4 oan The may wrapped in silver paper and tied with white satin ribbons with a spray of mstletoe drawn through the bow and place on the tarletan un- der the tree. The less novelty there is in Christ- mas entertaining, the more attractive it is. The dinner table should be dec- orated simply with holly, with per- haps a big bunch of roses, preferably red, for the centerpiece. Things should be as gay as possible and as reminiscent of one’s youth. In the evening there should be, if possible, a Christmas tree. There is no form of | entertaining on Christmas night that equals the stripping of a brilliantly lighted, tinsel-decked tree, and un- tying mysterious. packages. ie or Christ- | mas pudding, and then there are the ' and helps in preventing! sweet and white potatoes, a!

Musical Revue of Youth will be the Holiday Attraction at the Nixoa Theatre. “Ned Wayburn’s Gambols” will be the attraction at the Nixon theatre, Pittsburgh, Christmas week, com- mencing Monday December 24th. Dull moments in this musical re- vue are conspicuous by their absence. There is concentrated mirth, melody and dancing in abundance. In the “Gambols” a quartette of comedians, notably Franklyn Ardell, Fuzzy Knight, Charles Irwin and Charles Elby make merry, poking fun at the topics of the day. With the comedians, are Rita Gould, Lew Hearn, Shirley Richards, the Marshall Sisters, who harmonize in jazz, Anne Pritchard, a stellar singing and danc- ing soubrette, Grace Bowman, Prima- donna, John Byman, baritone, William Holbrook, vaudeville headliner, Olive McClure in dance novelties and Ver- eaux Vaughn and Randallo, adagio dancers. Then there are the catchy songs and melodies by Walter Samuels and ‘Arthur Schwartz. Among the easiest be to hum with one evening’s practice are “Crescent Moon,” “Sweet Old Fashioned Waltz,” “In the Days Gone By,” “Little Dream That's Coming True” and “Palm Beach Walk.” A chorus of surpassing comeliness and , charm adds pep and spice to the musi- ‘cal numbers and added to which is a dance unit called “The Promenaders.” Ned Wayburn in staging the dancers, emphasizes again that he is in a class by himself, to get a chorus girl ‘o charge across the stage. You will see here swift and intri- cate steps that you never saw done before in concert. Sergeant Bilks, drill master for Uncle Sam’s Army, has given the thirty Promenaders a drill, and dance number that is to say the least sensational. Audiences are amazed again at the American chorus ‘girl, the equal of a foreign ballet dancer in picking up hard steps and her superior in dash and fire. The Nxon Theatre will be glad to fill out-of-town mail orders and have reserved quite a block of choice seats (for all performances.

As the Christmas season is ap- proaching it is time to begin think- ing about the proper way of express- ing thanks for gifts received. To fail to write a note of thanks for a gift is unpardonable. The question of “what to say” will not be difficult if the note is written promptly. Write while you are enthusiastic and words “thank-you” note will seem more sin- cere. This is the time of year to make resolutions regarding courtesy. Re- member that courtesy will win many friends for you. It is not mecessary, however, to be effusive—that becomes offensive to your friends. Merely be sincere and thoughtful and you will not need a book of etiquette. The greatest respect should be shown toward our parents and all older persons. One should never smile at the language, mistakes or the table manners of an older person. Boys and girls who do this are lack- ing in culture. The teachers in your school and the principal and superintendent should be treated with the highest courtesy and respect at all times. They may too refined to give notice of lack of courtesy on the part of the stu- dent, but the student should be cour- teous without being reminded of his duty in this respect. Be charitable in dealing with your asseciates in the school, and respect and admire good qualities of stu- dents in less fortunate circumstances than yourself. They may be as good or better than you.
