At the preliminary meeting held at the Penn-Harris in November, the members present voted "to form a club, the membership of which shall be open to all women and girls over 16 years of age. This means that the club's membership will not be limited to just business and pro fessional women, but will include all women. A club that is nonseetarian, self-governing and self-supporting— its aim will be to promote demo cracy and co-operation among wo men. its program will be one of re creation and education. Miss Louise Palmer Evans, organ izing secretary for the National League of AVomen Workers, New A'ork city, is in the city to complete the organization of the club. The Civic Club of Harrisburg through its officers has taken a keen interest in the proposed club and has offered its beautiful clubhouse to them rent free, for meetings. This will Cover a period of six months, beginning January 1. 1920, add al low for one meeting a week. The new club, the name of which will be decided AVednesday evening, De cember 17, will, of course, pay to ward the lighting and cleaning. These temporary quarters will tide them over until permanent quarters can be secured. It is hoped that every one will co-operate to make this club a real community factor for that would be "real politics—the voluntary surrender of some pri vate good for the upbuilding of some community good. It is in such exercises that the fiber of demo cracy grows sound and strong." It is hoped that every one who is interested, as well as all those pres ent at the November meeting will be at the meeting AVednesday eve ning at which the constitution will be read and adopted and the nomi nating, program and finance com mittees selected. Those not already members are invited to come and join AVednesday at the Civic Club. ANNOUNCEMENT M. MALL, Ladies' Tailor, 1213 Green street.

GIVING BENEFIT! i • Nursery Home Secures Miss | Kathcrinc Fahnestock For i Recital During Holidays Many people of Harrisburg and vicinity who remember Miss Kath erine y. Fahnestock as a child reader of more than ordinary ability, will be greatly interested in her ap pearance here, Tuesday evening, December 30, in recital in Fahnes tock flail for the benefit of the Nuraery Home. * She will be assist ed by Miss Naomi Bevard, another talented local girl and former mem ber of the Wednesday Club, who last year won the prize planfi in a most difficult contest at the Boston Con servatory of Music, where she was a member of the graduating class. Miss Fahnestock is at present in Junior Chautauqua work with the Chautauqua Association of Pennsyl vania. For three summers and one winter she has been with the As sociation, appearing in practically all of the states between New Hamp shire and the Carolinas as well as in Ohio and Ontario, around the Great Lakes. Her work consists of story telling. training children's pageants, teaching folk dancing, and conducting a supervised play in an effort to wake up backward com munities to the needs of organized play for children. She has also ap peared in several recitals, including one in Philadelphia last spring. Begins Career Al lien Three Miss Fahnestock is well known in this city, where she began her pro fessional career at the age of three. She was then reading James AA'hit romb Riley's child poems. She con tinued as a reader throughout her primary and grammar school days, appearing in practically all the churches of Harrisburg and vicinity as well as in many benefit enter tainments. In High School, she-won the Junior Girls' Declamation Con test, took the principal role in the class play of 1915, and graduated with honors. She also attended Swarthmore Col-i lege where she was the first fresh-1 man in' many years to win thei second prize in the Exlemporance- j ous Speaking Contest, winning the j first prize in the same contest her, junior year. She participated in the Declamation junior! and senior years, and was the onlyj girl admitted to the Senior Orotorical j Contest when she gave an original j oration. Miss Fahnestock was most 1 active in every branch of school activities, being a member of the! "Halcyon Staff," president of the Y. W. C. A., captain of the swimming j team, and a winner of an athletic sweater for having been on six varsity athletic teams. Sh ealso took part in the college plays each year during her college career, .taking thC| leading part in "The Shoes That I Danced," and playing Martha Wash ing-ton in Percy Jlackaye's "Wash ington." A press notice following "The Shoes That Danced" .said: ."Miss Fahnestock, as the 'Columbine' was just as saycy, selfish, yet altogether loveable as a Columbine should be. Her portrayal of the part was artis tic throughout." After "Washing ton" a notice read, "In intensely dramatic scenes between Martha and George—particularly the leave tak ing when George starts to war, Miss Fahnestock, as Martha, was at her best." Miss Fahnestoek's appearance here on December 30 will be her first formal appearance In Harris burg since leaving the city over four years ago. Since that time she has specialized in reading and will un doubtedly give a most artistic pro gram here. The entire proceeds will bo devoted to the Nursery Home. Over S2OO Is Cleared a?: the Si.

A CERTAIN little actress, noted for her clever costumes, was in our city one day last week. In the course of a brief interview she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, yes; I al most forgot to tell you how much I like your shops. I really do. Why, would you believe it? when I was the last time, I purchased an evening gown at the Oloos Shop that I like better than many of my gowns purchased iir the fashion cen ters of the country. Everyone says it is stunning—and I think so my self. This time I have not had an opportunity to so much as peep in the door, but I expect to before I leave; it's such a delight to exam ine the lovely frocks." DO you have on your Christmas list a person so discriminating as to be exceedingly difficult to please? Ten chances to one, you do, and the very thought of selecting a suitable gift distresses you consider ably. You are particularly anxious in this case to show personality in your gift-giving. In fact, you simply must! Well, then, why not make your selection, at the Saltzgiver Art and Antique Shop, 223 North Second street? Mr. Saltfgiver specializes in collecting things both unusual and rare ,and perhaps a pair of his candlesticks with prisms or "a convex mir ror would be the very gift to give that hard-to-please friend. Or, again, a wonderful etching might solve the problem, to say nothing of an attrac tive fish bowl of wrought iron and Tiffany glass. ( HRISTMAS gifts for men I , are the hardest th'.ngs in the world to choose," re marked the sister of two big, husky college athletes several days ago. "Truly, I haven't the vaguest Idea as to what to buy those brothers of mine," she continued mournfully, "one's choice is so limited." "Non sense," I replied, "selecting gifts for men is the Amplest matter pos sible If you only make it so. They are sure to bo pleased with anything that is genuinely useful and good. Just conufe along with me and let me prove how easily your troubles can be ended," I added, leading her into McFall's store, where an attentive salesman showed her the wide va riety of articles suitable for gifts for men. There were fur-lined gloves —in fact, gloves of all sorts; ini tialed handkerchiefs, silk shirts, reefers, neckwear and bathrobes, not to mention many other practical things.

Judging by the attitude of merchants and landlords. A child in an apartment house is al most unheard of, and, I declace, I believe that children's shoes are rapidly going out of vogue. Just yesterday I took Junior downtown for a r.-ew pair and in practically every store I entered I was informed that 'we don't carry children's shoes any more, Madam.' " When she had finished, I ventured to ask whether she had eventually found a shop where attention is paid to the shodding of small boys such as Jun ior. "Oh, yes," she replied, "I did. 1 took him to the Atmy and Navy Shoe Store, where I discovered a most complete line of shoes—Just like Dad's —for the tiny tad."
