TWO CHRISTMAS DAYS
The First

Inc FlISI
"For unto you is born this day a
Saviour which is Christ the Lord
He came unto His own and His own
received Him not"
He came, the dear Redeemer, the
greatest gift of ALL,
The Jews "His own" despised Him,
and would not heed the call;
in a manger, our blessed
Saviour lay
Except for those few wise ones His
Star" has shown the way;
And those few faithful Shepherds to
whom the angels sang,
the earth disowned Him,
the bells of heaven rang.
~
He came and was rejected, and yet
He loves them still,
And went. about to save them and do
His Fathers will;
But still they would not heaE, Him,
and sought His life to take
Not knowing that His coming was
for their own life's sake;
Our gift of that first Christmas was
sacrificed, was slain
But oh, that precious promise, he
said, "Pll come again"

Betsey Ross and the Rejected Flag

We often read and hear the statement: ut is to
be regretted that many of the fascinating nara
tives OF our colonial history born of imagina-
tion. and among these favorite Stories such as
Captain John Smiths adventure with the Indi.
ans. Putnam's famous ride, Betsey Ross and our
first flag and Barbara Frietche at Fredericks-
town"
There is abundance of proof extended to verify
that Betsey Ross lived. and that she was EN-.
ployed by the continental congress to manufacture
flags, the government archives bear witness
Betsey Ross flag was first rejected and some
time later accepted
Betsey Ross attended Christ church. Philadel.
phia, and the pew in which she worshiped was
next to the one occupied by Washington and her
pew is marked by brass plate bearing these
words "In this pew worshiped Betsey Ross, who
made the first flag"
OF late years The journals. magazines and school
histories country have called attention to the
origin Of our national nag as having been sug.
gested by the family arms of the Washinetons
This suppostion comes from Martin Tupper an
eminent English poet and literateur His first
reference to flag In this connection was made
public in the fall Of 1850. The announcement did
not receive serious consideration until at public
banquet given in America. At this dinner held in
the city of Baltimore. the idea was heralded to tho
world that the and stripes had their orisn in
the heraldic symbols = the Washington family.

Color Schemes.

When in doubt use pink SO said
a successful hostess upon being asked
the best color scheme. Pink bears
both the daylight and the artificial
light equally well, and is always be-
coming. fact not to be overlooked by
a thoughtful hostess.
Blue changes to green at night, but
under certain conditions it is rather
good scheme to use it. Yellow is not
q satisfactory color to have at night,
as it is apt to look faded from the
sunlight. Violet is not good at night,
but at present is much in favor for
spring luncheons, with corsage bou-
quets at each place for the guests.
Red is rarely used in warm weather,
but is always delightful in winter time,
carrying with suggestion of warmth
and welcome that is grateful. A North
side hostess invariably uses red the
year round. as It harmOnizes with her
furnishings and service, SO that the
color has come to be recognized as
her own individually and her REQ din
ners are noted.
Green alone and combined with
white is always pleasing and is a sum
mer time favorite.
Ferns are always good and may be-
kept fresh a long time If placed one
over the other on fiat board. then
immersed in cold water and kept in
q cool, dry place. 1t is in good form
to use the flower that is in season.
and the Japanese method of using
flowers is being adopted more and
more, as the flower holders are on sale
now at nearly all OF the department
stores.

The First Anniversary.

Wedding anniversary celebrations
are usually informal. especially when
the idea of the celebrations is carried
out, as for instance. cotton we'd
ding. which celebrates the first ami.
versary.
A sheet and pillow case party on
this occasion is both appropriate and
enjoyable For both men and women
the sheets may be put on in about the
same way. The width Is passed
around the body just below the arm
pits, the two corners brought to the
back. crossed. then each drawn up
front with pin. A little practice will
enable one to don these ghostly gar
ments in really becoming manner
The length of the sheet falls straight
all around.
Rather large sheets should be used,
that there may be plenty Of fullness
White dominoes may be worn or the
pillow cases may be used. II there
are draperies in the room. for this oc-
casion they may be replaced with
sheets or white cheesecloth.
The dining table may nave dollles OF
cotton batting or runners made Of IT
and snowballs Of cotton at each plate
may contain little souvenirs II the
bride wishes to give them.
Dancing may be the amusement or
cards after unmasking. An entire
white menue may be served with
chicken sandwiches, coffee with
whipped cream, ice cream in the
shape of snowballs and white frosted
cakes.
Bales Of cotton candy boxes may be
gotten in some places to which the
place cards could be attached and
south of the Mason and Dixon line the
tiny cotton bales prepared for tourists
would be Just the thing for an affair
of this kind In some parts of the
country, 90. real cotton blooms may
be had for decorating.

Carnival Of Merry Lovers.

A young woman who wished to an
nounce her engagement In a unique
manner issued invitations for a fancy
dress party In which the guests were
requested to come dressed as famous
lovers" Husbands and wives, broth
ers and sisters, maids and their ia.
vorite swains came together and great
was the fun trying to guess who was
who. There were John Alden and Pris.
ella. Hiawatha and Minr ehaha, Paul
and Vidginia, Queen Elizabeth and
Essex. Dante and Beatrice, Napoleon
and Josephine, etc. All characters
were kept secret and the host asked
the following questions:
Are you fact or fiction?
Are you living or dead? 1f left alive
in the story they re supposed to be liv-
inED
Did your love lead to marriage?
Either What prevented?
Or. Did you live happy ever after:
What influence had the mans love on
the woman?
What influence had the woman's love
What was the most stirring event of
your history?
The young hostess was dressed in
a becoming evening gown, and her
brother. who acted as host, was not
disguised. There was one man whom
no one could guess, as he wore a
masque and black domino. After a
lively time guessing, and when nearly
every one was discovered. the mysteri-

Of the state house. Isaac Norris, Thomas Leech

Let the bell be cast by the best workmen and

It, viz:
"'By order of the Assembly of the Province Of
Pennsylvania. for the State House in the City Of
Philadelphia, 1882
And underneath,

This bell duly arrived before the end Of that
year, but in March, 1753 1t cracked 1t was at first
determined to send 1t back to England to be re-
cast but two artisans, named Pass and Stow. de-
clared that they could recast 1t. and they did So

except that the tone of the bell was not entirely
satisfactory. Pass and Stow were numerically
teased in public on the score of having used too
much alloy They asked and obtained the prvi-
lege of again recasting the bell. The result of
this second attempt of its kind in America

Another bell was also ordered from England by
the assembly, but 1t did not take the place of the
American bell until the latter was cracked again
in 1885, while being tolled on the occasion of the
death of Chief Justice Marshall.

pealed in 1877, except in far as 1t related to
tea.
When news of the Lexington-Concord fight in
April, 1775. arrived, the bell in the state house
steeple again called 5000 people together. and
they unanimously agreed to defend with their
arms. their lives, liberty and property. The cli-
max Of the first period of the struggle was fast
approaching. The second continental congress
met in the state house May 10, 1775, the Pro
vincial assembly having yielded to it the cham
ber that was ever after to be sancti1ed by its
labors. In June. 1875. began the debating Of the
question of independence. The preliminary reso-
