DEATH OF MRS FITZGERALD
This We'll Known Woman Buried at
Denison on Friday Last

One of the old time residents of
Denison died Wednesday at Clarinda.
and was brought here for burial be-
side her husband on Friday. Mrs.
Matilda Wilson Fitzgerald came to
this county fully forty years ago. It
was about the time of the arrival
from north Ireland of the Luney and
the Smythe families. She was mar
ried to James Fitzgerald at the home
of her sister. Mrs. John Rollins in
Arcadia. It is told of the event that
James had secured his license at Den
ison in Crawford county and after the
wedding it was discovered that the
ceremony had been performed in Car
roll county. Mr.. Rollins was the Sec
tion foreman and he offered to take
the bridal party and minister on the
hand car over the line to this county
and there the pair were married over
again. Mrs. Fitzgerald was about
seventy-five years old. In the latter
days of her life her mind was such
that she was taken to the hospital at
Clarinda. Her sister. Mrs. John Roll
lins resides near the north brick school
house. She was devoted member of
the M. E. church and Rev. Thuresson
conducted the funeral service.

OUR CHRISTMAS GREETING.

We hope that all our readers will
put themselves in harmony with the
Christmas spirit. and thus gain the
true joy of the great winter feast.
The people who seal up their
hearts from exerting themselves to
give JOY to others at Christmas time,
are the great losers themselves. One
with tendency to be selfish at Christ
mas aloud read that wonderful creation
of Charles Dickens the story as to
Scrocge the rich miser. and it will
put a new phase on ones duty at
Christmas. Scrooge found that the
happiest day of his life was the one
when he began to give happiness to
others
The benefits coming to each by rea-
son of the birth ef Christ Child are
manifold and most important. All
that we prize in civilization today
come from the teachings of the lowly
Jesus. Not a person who has lived
under an enlightened civilized govern
ment would exchange it for a
home in a land. where moth
ing is known of the Christ born nearly
two thousand years ago. The person
who refuses to give the bible religion
honor for our liberal form of govern
ment and advancement in the arts and
sciences is sunken deep in narrowness
and mental darkness.

Those whose memories goes back to

the head of the Baptist school we'll
know that it has ever set the pace for
arranging for the children to have a
good time Christmas. As so many
prominently connected with the school
are so busy right up to Christmas Eve
the exercise for this school are held on
Christmas night. A cantatta with
good music will be give. The tree
will not be an evergreen. but one with
no natural leaves gives the better
chance to decorate and to load with
present. There will be a dialogue
by members of Mrs. Francis Barber S
class and other special music besides
the cantatta. The program in addi-
tion is as follows:

First Place
WHO WILL GET THE RING
Contest for Diamond and Ruby Ring
Closes December 3ist

Even the stress and excitement of
Holiday week has failed to drive the
great Review contest from the boards.
The vote is small but number of the
candidates have been working hard as
the coupu shows. Miss Marie Heiden
seem to have been the busiest one of
all and for this week at least she
shows in the lead.
Who will get the beautiful Dia-
mond and Ruby Ring? The work of
the next ten days will tell the tale.
The figures tell the story up to date
and in the rush of the early Review
we will not enlarge upon the detail of
the contest. We would point to one
thing however and that is that no con-
testant has such a large vote even as
yet but that a brand new candidate
might with determined effort come
to the front and win the automobile.
Subscribers from all over the coun-
ty are taking IN an interest in the vot-
ing and during January with the Hol
idays past we expect the contest to be
the absorbing thing among Review
readers.

To Clean Trimminas.

Among the new embroideries are
those in raised silver and gold work.
These are handsome and expensive,
never be brushed in the ordinary way
of cleaning trimmings, but that a piece
of crimson velvet should be taken and
rubbed very slowly and gently over
them. OF course, we are all familiar
with the use of black velvet as dust
cloth for hats and fine black materials,
the fine nap penetrating and carrying
away dust without injury where moth
ing else could, but what virtue there
is in crimson velvet, aside from its tex
ture, is hard to guess, but it is possi-
BILE, of course, that there may be some
effect in the dye used.

PLUMs SERVED IN BATTER.
Dessert That Is Especially Popular
with Masculine PaIates.

Make batter with two beaten eggs,
five tablespoonfuls of flour, rather
more than pint of milk. and pinch
of salt. Remove the stones from a
quart of large, ripe plums. crack them,
put the kernels inside of the plums
again, mix the fruit with two heaping
tablespoonfuls of moist sugar and stir
it lightly into the batter. Turn it into
a buttered pudding dish. and bake in a
hot oven until done, about 40 minutes.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top
and serve hot with half a cupful of but

The First.AId valjse.

The latest production of those pur-
veyors who are always inventing some
thing useful for the motorist is called

very useful pendulum of remedies for
bruises, cuts and other ills that may,
alas! befall the traveller on an automo-

Belt for Old Gloves.

Evev girl finds in her possession
one o. more pairs of discarded long
gloves. Pretty and durable suede
belts can be made from the same by
simply ripping up the seam and cut
ting off the hand. The glove is then
the right shape for the belt when
opened out and two pieces Joined in
the center. Line the glove with silk
cut on the bias, turn over the edges,
and stitch on the machine. Also
stitch the back and finish with three
gold bosses or fiat buttons covered
with kid cut from the hands of the
gloves. Another way of finishing is to
tie the kid in three or four small bows.
For the front use a pearl buckle or
small steel one covered with the
feather.

A HINT ON ENTERTAINING.
How One Woman Has Done Away
with Much Labor.

A woman who does her own work
and yet likes to entertain good deal
has brought order out of chaos and
made the work lighter for herself by
limiting her dinner to three hot dishes
She serves first iced canteloupe, grape
fruit or oysters, according to the sea-
son; then meat, potatoes and one veg
etable. Salad and dessert are pre-
pared before hand, and SO is the coffee.
She serves all but the three hot dishes
which, of course, must be brought
from the kitchen-from small serv-
ing table at her side, which has two
shelves beneath it and an outstanding
bracket shelf for the clean and used
dishes. The coffee, in a French coffee
pot, stands on one of the brackets OF
the serving table and boils merrily
until required.

Cleaning Rings.

Rings set with precious stones
should always be inspected from time
to time to ascertain if the gems are
at all loose, especially in the case of
claw settings. 1t is also good plan
to wash them periodically in warm
soapsuds, to which few drops of sal
volatile have been added, an exception
being made, however, in the case of
turquoises, which should not be damp
ened. In every case the claw set
tings should be cleaned by means of a
wisp of blotting paper rolled into the
form Of shading stump" and worked
into the interstices so as to clear them
of any accumulation of dirt.
