FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 5, 1919. 10 PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS TIMELY INTEREST WORK AMONG THE FOREIGN-BORN Daughters of American Revo lution Hear Speakers; An niversary Plans Made "America is not a melting pot, it is something far more human and vital, more divine and spiritual than that. What we need to keep stead ily in mind is, that the process of Americanization is not the reduction of all to a common denominator, but the elevation o/ all to the high est possible plane; to consider that eacli race reacts on the other to the enrichment of all; and to en deavor to realize that the. various racial stocks, thus contributing, lose their separate and distinct identity in the building of a new entity, a new race, winch shall be a demon stration, in this day of grace, of the blood brotherhood of all men and the spirtual oneness of the sons of God." With this convincing statement, Miss Rosa Santee. superintendent of deaconess work for the Methodist churches of Harrisburg, closed her talk on work among the foreign born before Harrisburg chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu tion, yesterday afternoon in the Civic Club. Front her own experi ence, Miss Santee tinds that it is imperative to meet these foreign born women in their own homes, showing them that an interest is taken in them individually and that American women want to help each one work out her own problem. Clarence 11. Zorger, superintend ent of special activities for the Har risburg school board, followed Miss Santee with a brief resume of plans already in operation and more tor tiie future in llarrisburg's education of her foreign-born. He said that many foreigners, coming to this country, are educated men, but lack a knowledge of English—tor in stance several dyeis here weit chemists of note in their own coun try Teach them English and many of them will vie with native-born men and women in professional and household arts, for they have as much brain and capability as the>. To create good Americans out ot new Americans and better Ameri cans from old Americans, Mr. Zor ger says a common language must be acquired by a whole community j gind the maintenance of the Ameri-| can standard of living.

CIVIC WORKERS OF CAMP HILL December Meeting Brings i Much of Interest Before the Members Camp Hill Civic Club held its De-i comber meeting yesterday afternoon j in Firemen's Hall, at 2.30 o'clock. Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, the j speaker of the afternoon, gave a de- j lightful and instructive talk 011 current ..♦vents. The importance of; America's handling of the prevailing j unrest due to foreign propaganda, j the present Mexican situation, the . progress of the aero service, and the I woman suffrage /intendment, were I among the subjects discussed. Owing to the change of residence j of the president. Mrs. Howard AV. i Goodman to Bethlehem, Pa., Mrs. | William M. Denison, the first vice- ; president, presided. Mrs. Goodman's ! departure from Camp Hill means a j loss to the town of one of its most I active and "efficient civic workers. ! Mrs. George A. Stearns, a dele- j gate to the State Federation of Wo men's Clubs meeting held at Scran ton in October, made a most inter- I esting and helpful report.

Harrisburg's Largest Coffee House r Grand Union Tea Store f ; 208 NORTH SECOND ST. | • r j Ctfsttiad At. b j ARE you interested in unusual opportunities? I'm going to tell you : of a most extraordinary one and a little story connected with it. Sometime ago a charming young matron came to the shop of Louis, | the Ladies' Tailor—you know where it is, in the Masonic building. She i wanted a fur coat she said, a rich, sumptuous fur coat, such as oivly Louis! can make. All details were arranged and after u trip to New York, i where he purchased the pelts, he started to lakhion a most elegant coat, i As he was working, lie received an unexpected visit from the prospctive i owner, who was in great distress over a rumor she had heard. Someone ! had told her —probably in good faith, but, nevertheless, mistaking!)'—l that such a coat as she described could not be made in this city and that! Louis, while taking the credit to himself, would order it? from New York. , Imagine her joy when she was escorted to his workrooms, where she. ] found him personally working on the coat. And now for the opportunity j —you, too, are welcome to visit his workrooms any day or even in the' evening, where he will carefully show you how ho cuts the futs and puis] them together. For, all reports to the contrary, Louis does make his own j fur coats. WE call it "Saltzgiver's Art and Antique Store," but the Gift Store would be as appropri ate a name. Distinctive gifts—gifts with a use and a charm—confront one in every nook and corner of the room. Gleaming bits of brass, some from far away Russia, others from the hands of our own craftsmen, are there. Polychrome candlesticks, decorated car.illes, attractive book ends and genuinely good pictures hold equally prominent places in the interesting array. Then, too, Mr. Saltzglver is showing a group of Petite Water Colors by Vinton Rit ter. Have you seen them in his window? I.ocal scenes idealized and reproduced by a sweep of the brush, when framed ire a fealtzglver frame, would make most acceptable gifts. SANTA CLAUS must surely lie proud of his local branch shop. Truly, I if I didn't know better, I'd be inclined to believe that his main slOj'O j house was right here in Harrisburg. And so would you after a visit to the Marianne Toy Shop on Locust street. Such a bewildering and never-ending assortment of tiny tots' gifts makes one gasp in sheer | pleasure and dismay. First of all come the books. .What heaps of them ; and shelves of them, too! There are linen books for the wee, small folks, and big, thick books for the growing lad. There are nursery rhymes set to music, and—oh, just a hundred and one different kinds. Then come the puzzles. Fnscinating jig-saw puzzles vie with numerous other sorts for first place in tlie kiddies' affections. And as for games—well, every game you ever heard of is there plus some brand new ones, too. Par ticularly interesting is the magnetic fish pored game or for that matter tho old-fashioned fish pond as well. HANDKERCHIEFS ALWAYS MAKE such practlcul gifts because everyone uses them. And i handkerchiefs such as one finds at ! the Art and Gift Store, 105 North 1 Second street, are not or.-ly practical, but dainty and beautiful us well. ; Take, for instance, those for kiddies, ; coming three in a box. Tiny nursery Hiymc friends, embroidered in col ors, peep from the corners, adding a j charm that no small tot can resist. Selling for forty-flvo and fifty cer.-ts 1 a box, they make just the loveliest j gift possible for any diminutive per son. Then, too, there are exquisite 1 handkerchiefs for Milady—hundreds of them. In fact—suitable for every occasion. Sonic are of plain white linen, others are embroidered In white, while still others arc attrac tively embroidered in colors. Itest of ail arc,clever little folders with poised butterfly on top, for sending '• them ir?. Pennsy Car Inspectors Form Club at Banquet \ At a banquet held by the car in j spectors of the Pennsylvania rail i road passenger station of Harrisburg | held in Pythian Hall it was decided j to form a "Good Fellowship Club."

AMONG "ie dainty, intimate gifts j that will win a place ire any | I woman's heart are exquisite I camisoles. Soft, delicate underwear! | lias come into its own at last, com- | ■ j pletely banishing the harsh, heavy, j varieties of not so long ago. And |at the Cloos Shop one finds in-1 j describably lovely concoctions of] ! silk, lace and ribbon known for short i jas "uredies." The camisoles are par ticularly attractive both in appear-1 ance and price. Cleverly designed j from satin, lace and sheer georgette they sell for as low as $1.50. Of] course, they are especially priced l'or I the Christmas season, having previ-| ously been marked at a much higher | figure. At present, however, the \ range in value f'om $1.50 to 85 and | $6. Many of the loveliest sell for, just $1.95 and thereabouts. And fo! say they are u'together cha n.ing is putting it mildly. SOMEONE asked me several days ago why so many men are so enthusiastic over the Army and Navy Shoe Store. "Is it because of the name?" she queried. "You know many men who were in the service still feel that old Uncle Sam supplied better shoes than they had ever worn before, so I thought perhaps the very name of the shop attracts them." Perhaps it does the first time, but they return the second time because they are so well satisfied. And then they keep on returning for the same reuson For the Army and Navy Shoe Store carries a grade of shoes not to be surpassed anywhere. "Quality plus service" is the motto of the shop, a's hundreds of boosting customers will testify.
