THE NIGHT BEFORE
 WAS MADE GAY
Christmas Eve Entertainment in the
 Churches.

Last night at the Methodist church old Santa Claus reigned supreme. He had a lovely big tree. of the sour orange variety, and the gleaming dark leaves, with the brilliant fruit. and the other decorations and candies made beautiful picture. The church was garlanded with long feathery paper ropes in white and green, while tall date palms arched the Windows. The chancel was prettily arranged with greens and red bells, and the whole church presented an attractive picture. The program rendered was much en- joyed and consisted of the following numbers. Song by the Sunday school, The King: scripture reading. the Rev. AZ l.. Hawley; song by school. Grown the New Born King; invoca- tion: carol, by school; Christmas Time: welcome by Elizabeth Norton; song by primary class, 'Hark I Hear the Herald Angels Sing: recitation. by Bernice Cant: recitation, by Irma Huston: Carol, by school. Sing it over Again; reading. The Swan Song" Miss Richards: class song with chorus. Praise His Holy Name: reading. '.The Education of Jesus; Mrs. A. l.. Hawley. solo and chorus. "The Song That Never Never Ceases; Why He Came" by several boys; rec itation. Eva Barnett; duet. Tn Man ger" Ruth Huber and Martha Tweedy; exercise. by Mrs. Dranes' class: carol. by school. Goodwill to Men: .recita- ton, by Wilson Dobson: solo. Away ;., tation and star song by Helen Mum ford and seven little girls; song. by school. Hail the King; Christmas ad- dress. Mir. Fitzgerald: closing song. The Prince of Peace
 One of the pleasing features of the evening was the free will offering which was taken up to purchase gifts for the little ones whom Santa Claus passed by. It was done for the pur pose of teaching the children the pleasure of Christmas lay not in re- ceiving the gifts but in giving them.
 At the Baptist church there was also a lovely big sour orange tree adorned with tinsel and lights. while the richly colored fruit providedl the most beau tiful effects. Big bags of candies. with nuts and oranges added to the pleasure of the onOokers. and excited the little ones greatly Here the decorations were in keeping with the Yule tide season. and the graceful draperies of I greens. with the mistletoe gave a love ly charm to the scene. The church was brilliantly lighted. having just been provided with eight new tungsten lampS which are 6pcilpd acuuiSition to the church. It was too late to get the program. but it will be published. tomorrow

1T is hard for a comparative new

marked. Then she asked quickly,

Howe to her hostess, who came forward
with smile Of welcome and greeted
her visitor by friendly pressure OF the
hand. The two young girls arose as
the visitor entered; Rosamond advanced

Although Mrs Howe was quite
familiar with the rule that two women

the exception TO that rule, which IS that
when a person introduces two people,

pie had to make the best of it. At the
close of the affair the girls distant bow
indicated plainly TO the man that there
would never be a renewal OF former

1t was evident that Mrs. Howe was
still thinking over her problems, and
presently she said. Should a hostess
introduce young people 10 each other

1T is her duty and privilege TO IN

CUTS FOR ROASTS

beef A Ia mode or pottcd beef. The
sirloin gives the very choicest roasts and
steaks, and next comes the rump, which
Is cut IN three parts-the back. the face
and the middle cut All arc good roast
ing pieces. The back is the most costly,
the face the least so, while the really
most economical is the middle, as II is
free from bone and has not a scrap OF
waste on 1t. in price, rs III situation, it
IS between the back and the face
The top OF the round furnishes good
steaks; indeed, the second cut on the top
OF round makes the beSt-navored steak,
although 1t is not so tender as a sir
loin. A 'portcrhousc" steak is the sir
loin, tcnderloin and flank cut in one slice,
and is, undoubtedly, the king OF steaks.
The lower portion of the round is used
for braising, potting and for beef tea.
slrloin and Tcnderloln
The tenderloin has the tenderest meat
and is considered the most delicate cut,
although IT is not so juicy nor so well
favored as other portions less tender,
and 1t is not nearly so nutritious as
parts that require the most cooking.
This and the sirloin cost more than any
other cuts, but there is less nutritivc
value than is found in the cheaper parts
Indeed, the prices OF meats seem to be in
inverse ratio TO their real food value,
which is because of the much smaller
proportion OF the so-callcd choicer cuts.
1t is one of the wise economies of ma
turc that it should be so The class OF
people who do the hardest labor, and
particularly those whose occupation
takes them much into the open air, need
the nourishmcnt and sustaining qualities
OF the heavier meats. And these are
found IN the less expensive parts. in the
meats which are rich in juices. with
bones heavy with marrow. Stcws and
braised meats. and those steamed in
their own juices, as pot-roasted meats,
