WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES.
Enter into the Spirit of the Season and
 Make Every body Happy.

z
 When Christmas comes by all means have the house dresed with holly and pine and fir, and don't forge, the -nistletoe. Go out and mingle with the Christmas throngs. There is al eX- hilaratior in forming a part, if only a unit, in the crowd that is so gay and So merry, in hearing bits of bright talk, Tn greeting friends and acquaintancsS and seeing the overfiowing joy of the children. Never let single Christ mas pass without reading a Christmas story and singing Christmas song, and do not overlook the sweet signifi- canoe of the day itself. Remember that it is for a! the world the anniver- sary of Christs birth. Be as happy as you can and make others as happy as you car.-Margaret E. Sangster ip the December Ladies Home Journal

was the first woman ever commissioned as

years as visitor. Early in her work she
found that women patients in the asylum
were poorly provided for A matron was
the only woman employed at the institu-

and women attendants for women suffer

Movement to HIVE the Celebration

There is q decided opinion among a
number OF business men and historical
and patriotic societies Of this city that
something tangible should result from the
coming National Capital Centennial Cele-
bration to mark its historic Importance
for all time to come Some suggest that
a monument be erected N honor of Pat
rick Henry. the first Of the men Of the
Revolution who in the Virginia House Of
BuTgesses denounced British tyranny and
espoused the cause Of liberty. Some say
that Major L'Enfant, who during tie
Revolutionary War served on General
Washington's staff and was dangerously
wounded, should be immoTtalized in the
Nations Capital. since it was he VINO
originated and drew the plans upon which
Washington was laid out and built There
are a few who argue that Andrew Eli
colt deserves the honor as he, TO large
extent, executed the plans worked cut by
L'Enfant in whose Office Eilicott seems
to have been employed for time

the admiration of the world. Some Of the
societies have started to collect funds to
bring about an early accomplishment of
their plans, hoping that Congress nry
appropriate the balance. and also THAI in
case of a surplus from the Centennial
Celebration the same be voted for the
purpose indicated. They say there VIII
