entertainment at the pleasant home Of
Miss Mary Bennett 21S A street southeast,
on Friday evening. 1t was planned and
carried out by the hostess, who entitled 1t
a Nicholas Niekleby social. One of the
had to wear badge of adnttance a
large ''S'' adorned with nickel. and every
lady a large ''B" with the nickel attach
ment. The result was a variety as diyersi-
fed as the wearers, from the plainest paste
board TO the elaborate and ornate. Miss
Bennett, assuming the personality of Mrs.
Nickleby, fitted the part though to the
manner born, and convulsed the audience
by calling the roll in original verse. with a
fanciful play on each name. The members
responded with readings. from the book
Among the laughable representations was
the scene between Mrs. Nickleby and her
mad lover, carried out realistically. even
to throwing the vegetables. The selections
were all finely given, and strange to re-
late, there were duplicates. The read
ings were interspersed with music both
vocal and instrumental. Miss Bulla gave
a very fine violin oblgato, and Mr.. Muller
rendered several classical and national Sc
lections on his sweet-toned either. which
he handles with mastery skill Mrs. Bulla
played several piano solos. and Mrs. Neil

From Outlook.


Under the old system France and Russia
formed one great group; Germany, Austria
and Italy another; while England was kept
in what was happily called splendid isola-
ton" The dual alliance has not yet been
formally annulled; Russia and France are
still on good terms, but Russia no longer
counts as an effective force to be used in
time of emergency. Not only Is she Grip
pied beyond immediate repair in military
power, but no one knows what day Will
bring forth in the way of governmental
changes of the most radical character. Her
disappearance as a power to be reckoned
with would have left France without an
available ally had she not been swift to
take advantage of the English feeling to-
ward her; at the same time II has removed
one great element of danger from Ger
many Formerly that country had two
frontiers to protect, and could never Tor
moment forget that great power STOOD IN
readiness for invasion just outside her east
ern limit. That danger is past, and GER
many is in position of greater freedom
from apprehension of a serious kind thah
she has been since the close or the war
with France. On the other hand, the ALL
ance of England with France and Japan
leaves Germany practically In position OF
isolation; for Italy Is not to be counted on
for efficient support, and Austria Is In such
a condition that the death of single man
NAV precipitate the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
empire. Moreover. italy has always had
strong sentimental regard for France
which the irritations of the past few years
have not destroyed, and the feeling between
the two countries Is so warm that 1t Is
doubtful IL in any event Italy could be
brought In line In an active movement
against France.
These facts explain the recent harass.ng
Diplomatic activity of the Emperor Will

ton, and who is naturally irritated by the

milk fallen heroes restored themselves.
This tale was well known in Germany
long after the introduction of Chris
| tianity, and much of it's symbolic char
acter was transferred to the celebra-
ton of the birth of Christ "the resur-
rection and the life" The evergreen
is fitting emblem of eternal spring;
the burning lights suggest Him who is
the light of the world; and the gifts
| remind lis of the priceless gift Of God
to humanity-the Saviour.
The Christmas tree, in its present
style Of usage, can be traced back only
as far as the sixteenth century. Dur
| ing the middle ages it appeared at
Strassburg. For two hundred years
the fashion maintained itself along the
Rhine. Suddenly, at the beginning of
the century, it spread all over Ger
many, and fifty years later had con-
quered Christendom. In 1880 the tree
was introduced into Munich by Queen
Caroline. At. the same. time the Gus
tom was spread through Bohemia and
! Hungary.
| In 1910 the Duchess Helena of Or
leans brought 1t to the Tuileries. TWEEN
ty years later German residents Of
Paris could only with great difficulty
procure a Christmas tree. Today Paris
uses almost 100000, only. about one
fourth being used by Swiss. Germans
and Alsatians. The French plant the
tree with it's roots in q tub so that 1t
can be preserved until New Year,
when it is shorn of its decorations.
| The marriage of Queen Victoria to a
German prince augmented the Christ
mas trees popularity in England. Ger
man immigrants brought the tree to
America and it was soon adopted by
all classes.

NOW i LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP.

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows round me
creep.
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from farther, room,
Comes: "Now lay me down to Sleep"
And, somehow with that little prayer,
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thoughts go back to distant years,
And linger with a dear one there;
And as hear the child's "amen,"
Crouched at her side l seem to be,
My mothers faith comes back to me,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear place! H.
NOh, for the peace of that dear time!
Oh, for that childish trust sublime!
Oh, for a glimpse of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And "Now Iglay me down to sleep"
eFsa ~.-s- Eugene Field.
