WHY WAIT?
Most of us make the mistake of
waiting for some one to tell us to do
something, instead of going ahead
and doing it.
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.

If a man does not make new ac-
acquaintances as he advances through
life, he will soon find himself alone.
A man should keep his friendship in
constant repair,—Johnson.

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? ;

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.

NED MAYBURN’S GAMBOLS
IN PITTSBURGH NEXT WEEK.
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.

| SCHOOL COURTESY.
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.
