MAKING READY FOR XMAS
Society Busy as the Rest of the
World Preparing for Holiday.

Society Busy as the Rest of the
World Preparing for Holiday.
The first sign of the ante-Christmas
mil in society was to be noticed yes
4erday. for although the preceding days
of the week were comparatively quiet
Yesterday was quite uneventful. All
the world was shopping for Christmas,
and those who had providently made
ready for the holiday in advance were
busy enough at home, doing up Christ
mas packages, hanging holly wreaths,
writing Christmas notes. or dressing
dolls and filling stockings for the little
folks.
Even for the most far-sighted, the
last days of the week preceding Christ
mas are filled with a thousand and one
things to be done in preparation for
the holiday, and, try as people may,
there are always some belated pur-
chases to make even up to Christmas
eve. 1t was quite the thing to be seen
out shopping yesterday afternoon. Mo-
tor cars and carriages followed each
other in steady succession around the
corner of Bull and Broughton streets,
fashionable people crowded the jewel
ers' shops, and shoppers of every class
thronged book stores, toy stores and
department stores.
Both to-day and tomorrow in So
ciety will be almost equally dull, and
it is only with next week that the
fashionable set win resume entertain
ing.

pounds.
Mr.. Hattabaugh is not unknown to
many OF the older residents Of Lewis
ton for at one time he was politically
one of the biggest men in the county.
During the eighties he was auditor and
recorder of NeZ Perez county and filled
that office with much credit to himself
and his party. In those days there was
little amusement and less excitement
in Lewiston and on the street corners
once or twice week the Lewiston
brass band would render their open air
concert with the usual Boulanger
march. Mr.. Hattabaugh took special
pride in the band. which could almost
be 1ikened to Homer Davenports Silver
ton band. and for six years he enjoyed
the distinction of being the leader,
which at that time was almost as i'm
portant as seat in the United States
senate. Mr. Hattabaugh. during a re.
cess yesterday. of the meeting which he
is now attending here related many
interesting happenings during those
joyful days and his listeners were
charmed beyond expression. In speak
ing Of the band and good old Lewis
ton" Mr. Hattabaugh said: Il always
look back with pleasure to the DAYS OF
the brass band. it was the life of the
town. we would get out on the street
and play as if we were drawing a fat

as much interested in her welfare as in
the days gone by. Each trip that ri

away to the beautiful residences and
brick structures. but there still remains
spots where we used to stand when we
disconrsed music. changed only by the
broader sidewalks and the busy street
traffic Of metropolitan city. But time
makes many changes and we are grow
ing older and our future generations
