Last year When wo celebrated tho coming of tho Christ Child wo wero not In tho tolls of this world-wide war and wo hoped that wo would bo ablo to keep neutral, but It could not be: and so wc, too, nre In It now, fight Ins for n reat principle, a peace that will be lasting. Wo are funny beings, aren't wo? not to realize that u perpetual peace Is not to ho had save In tho heart of man, and that peaco will not como unless he has good will. Tho sons of tho angels Is bo plain, "l'cace on earth .to men of pood will" When tho pessimistic say that Chris tianity has failed, let them remember that line nnd reflect for u minute that It Is not His fault Hint pence does not reign, but the fault of a stiff-necked and hardened people. Let this not bo truo ot us this Clirlstmastido when In spirit tho dear llttlo Infant comes tonight. May Ho find us with poaceful hearts and loving minds await ing.

MU aro certainly In tho spirit of tho season, for they will entertain thl:ty-flve marines from the navy yard at Wcstthorpe Farm, their country homo at Dovon, on Christmas Day, tomorrow. Mrs. Lea, you know, Is tho State director of Department No, 3, Food Conservation, under tho Women's Council of National Defense, and goes about all over tho Stato lecturing on tho conserving of food. I hear sl)o nnd her family entertain twenty or thirty marines out ut. Devon every Sunday. That Is cer tainly inuring with tho lonely boys, Is it not? Tomorrow Mr. and Mrs. Lea will receive the boys together with their daughters, Mrs. Percy Hudson and Katharlno Lea, and will also be nsristed by Mr. Hudson, Mrs. Arthur 11. Lea, Mr. nnd Mrs. Armltt Urown, Mrs. Frederick Zerban Urown, Miss Nina Lea and Miss Geneva Feblger. YOU can never tell wlicro you nro or what you nro going to do In theso wartimes. 1 heard today of n man who expects to bo married this week and is sta tioned at a nearby camp. Well, tlnco nights ago ho found he was not on tho list for Christmas leave, so what will tho poor fellow do? It Is to, bo a largo wed ding and hundreds of Invitations aro out for it. The brldo-to-bo Is still "hoping." Another caso I heard of Is that of Lieu tenant Channlng W. Daniel nnd his wife, who wns Kathcrlno Vcrner, of Wayne. Well, Channlng won his commission at Fort Oglethorpe nnd received orders to re . port at Cnmp Sheldon, Miss, by Decem ber IB. So nil plans were lad and Mrs. Daniel was going with him. Tho trunks were serit off tho Wednesday beforo and thero was to bo a great family "send-off" at tho Bcllevue-Stratford that evening. Just as thoy wero about to leave, an official letter, was received by Lieutenant Daniel telling him to report at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C. So you can Imagine tho telephoning and wiring for trunks, etc., nnd all plans changed at tho very last mo ment: but now Lieutenant and .Mrs. Daniel nre all settled in apartments at Charlotte, N. C. ECONOMY Is the most admirable- thing In the world, Isn't it? But unfortu nately sometimes tho would-bo economizer's plans go sadly astray and In tho end ho finds that tho thing he has tried to econo mize on proves to be a lot mora expensive than it he hadn't economized at all. All ot which leads us to tho fact that Friend Wife told told Friend Husband they simply must havo a Christmas tree this year. They couldn't economize In that direction, could they? But after dutifully examining various prico tags on various spicy green trees, he decided that that was exactly where they ought to economize. "The Idea of paying that much for a tree you uso' only for a couple of days, when every thing Is getting higher and higher!" ho remarked to Friend Wlfo In an offended tone. But, seeing how really disappointed she was, ho added cheerfully: "Now, I havo a plan. Why can't we tako tho machine anQ bring home a nice fir tree from that woods we passed the other day?" Bo, my dear, they started out In the car: but, believe me, thty had a bumpy rido and narrowly escaped several ditches be fore they finally reached the woods they wero In search of. Country roads are apt to be rather bad at this time of the year, you know. Well, they did find a nice, Vivacious little tree, which they succeeded 'in coaxing away from its native soil after BOMB FEW minutes of digging and tug ging and pulling AND saying things. And maybe they didn't breathe a. sigh of relief When that tree was safely seated In tho tonneau of the carl Howsomever, their troubles were not over yet. Oh, -not In fact, you might say they hadn't fairly begun. For scarcely had "Charlie"' got the car started when good night! It spied a friendly haven of rest In the shape of a ditch and It Immediately plunged two of Its wheels Into this, with a Joyful snort of content. Now, forests with flr trees In 'em aren't always very near towns, you know, and ' It happened that tjils. particular one was about a mile away from any sort of civ ' taxation. But after Friend, Husband had , used every possiblo wilo to get the tired 'old car out of the ditch, the only thing for i Friend Wife to do was to walk, that mile ,ahd take the trolley home. "And don't forget to atop at a garage and send a car ftow this one home," Friend Husband spied alter ner. ,ah tnis time the lively ni, Or- was waving its branches glee- t .for. It thoroughly enjoyed the poor i. iwt.fM..M4, gone . w.,4I Anally got It home and reckoned up tho expenso for the trip he found that any ono of those trees he had priced so disdain fully would havo been a good denl chcaperl NANCV WYNNK.

If all those presente were New Englanders becauso they did como hero from ye East then was Ambassador Koo, who spolo nct, trtillo a New Engla der. Inasmuch), ns he cometh from ye fartherest East. He brought yo true message of yo Chinese folk, wa ch Is to bo Patlente. "Ye True always lives," quoth he, "while ye False dies of its own rot. If wo are patient In this Warre, wo aro bound to win." Enrnestlle did yo menno and women at ye gathering listen to yo woidcs of Master Gerard, since their Imaginations wero stirred by yo memorlo that this man wns ho who had borne yo whole responsibility of treatle w'th ye cruell Kaiser of Germanle untl'l the nets of that' monarch beenmo too grievous to bo endured. Ho told of how that haughty and wicked ruler had thrust his face close to his ownno and had said In nil his arrogant prydo that ho "would stande for i.u nonsenso from America after yo Warre." And whyle yo folk at ye dinner laughed at ye Kaiser's boast, yet were they grave at ye thoughto of tho menace they must face from that Insano ruler. Soe did they lay carcfull store by Master Gerard's counbell te beware of yo Insidious doctrines of yo Pruss'nn warre lord, lest they creep Into yo tnWes of yo people of America ; nnd cverlo man, yea, and cvcrlo woman, too, there resolved In his heart that he wouldo slampo oute such Horrid teachings of everlo mannere. And manle other dreadful thvnngcs did he tell of Prus slanlsm, of which he had knowledge, at first hande. Soe grave did all yo companle become that It was well that Master Irvln Cobb, who Is a New Englander from Paducah. Kentucky, did Jest somewhat, ns he Is wont to do, nnd cheer them out of their rober musings. For he spoke of the typical New rng'a"cl dlhes of which ye companle had partaken, such as V'rglnla ham nnd burnt nlmond lei crcamo and of howe yo companlo must long to revisit their native New- England, being comforted by yo thought that nothing short of a Sheriff with a wilt might get them back there agayne. Fain woulde one remember, too, yo pleas ante interlude presented earlier In ye eve ning, when, upon a raised dais at one ennde of ye big hall, there was hon yo Interior of a cabynne of logges, such ns was bullded by yo flrsto settlers of New England Therein sat John Alden nnd Mistress Prlscllla Aide garbed as folk were garbed 300 yeares ngr And they were visited by four other Puritans two men and two damsels, and all six did sing mosto swectlle yo olde songs from S'cwburyport Hymnal wh'ch have not been hearde for many generations, until Master Curtis and Master Sewall did latelle resur recte them from rare and Pretlous bookes And nil this was arranged by Master Harrle Jordan, who hath charge of one of ye cltle's playhouses, but who Is prouder because bee Is a native New Englander. Atte ye last, ye feaste ended, ye host uf notables leaving with a mingling or pleas, antrle and solemn thought, In that same mannere as was set forthe by Master Cobb's wordes whenne he said that America hath dedicated herself to a dutle apoynted by God "to knock ye 'mania' outte of 'Oer mania.' " Thero Is no time to telle of all who were presente. soe worthle Citizens though they were. It may be said onlle that it seemed from ye Nature of ye companle that all of ye leaders In ye life of this cltlo muit verily havo been borne In Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island or Connecticut, on yo Instalment planne. "WilAT'5 DOING iTDNOOSS y huth 3i,Udeliihl lliulnua ilf1'! ciaiior. meets, uroaa and Federal Free.
