We did present a constitution to
congress once-and il was a freak.
We don't know of any well balanced
citizen of the territory today who will
not freely concede that that consti-
tuition was a freak. Ii is not at all
unreasonable for congress to say that
it is willing to forget that constitu-
ton. but would feel safer to retain in
its hands the power to reject a du-
plicate of that document.
Having confidence in our own
Americanism. our patriotism, our san
ity and our integrity, we cannot very
consistently object to be put to the
proof.
AS We shall hear a great deal Of
this question. and democratic poll
ticians and newspapers will try to
place the republican party of Arizona
on the defensive if congress makes
our admission contingent upon the
formation of an acceptable constitu-
ton. it is very important that the
facts of history and the foregoing
statements be kept in mind. Let us
scan briefly the histories of some of
the states; and for convenience we
will take them up in alphabetical or
der rather than in the chronological
order of their admission.

A COLOR
DINNER
Unique Plan For Christmas
Eve Function in Which
Courses Suggest the
Occ aston
BY ANNA NJ. SMITH.

IN PLANNING this dinner 1t was the
especial aim of the hostess to
D make it peculiarly appropriate to
the season without trespassing
upon the menu and the scheme of dec
Grafton which belong to Christmas
day. Having been brought up in tho
good old traditions of Christmas holly
and Christmas turkey, it seemed little
less than sinful to forestall this most
ancient and honorable of feasts by
serving its specialties on the day be-
fore. The dinner and accessories,
evolved in conformity with this view,
were sufficiently novel and beautiful
10 be OF interest to any hostess en-
tertaining at this season.
The guests sat down to a round
table, covered with white damask In
the center stood a large cut glass bowl,
filled with low masses of evergreens
and the deep green Christmas fern, its
base wreathed about with ground pine.
Over these lay soft white cotton,
glistening with diamond dust (other-
wise mica dusD in realistic imitation
OF snow. The four candlesticks were
of cut glass, their shades white, edged
top and bottom with the snowy,
sparkling cotton and fringed with crys-
tai beads. Placed between were bon
bon dishes Of cut glass and silver, con-
tanning white cream waters and glace
bonbons. Snowballs, bought at a
caterers, with bonbon boxes filed with
candy hidden inside, stood at each
cover near the place cards, which were
white, with the names in silver. The
first course, grapefruit cocktail,
which was in place when the dinner
wns served, carried the effect still
farther, the standards of the exquisite,
slender-stemmed glasses being buried
in the same glittering snow which
formed the keynote of the scheme of
decoration. Altogether the table pre-
sented picture which was wintry in
deed, but very beautiful.

night after a simple plan devised by
her husband, and at the end Of the year
expenses were classified and freely
talked over in family council Rent,

Lesley received each an allowance of a
dollar a month with which to buy their
own shoes, rubbers, neckties and other
small Items; OF this strict account
was required and spirit of virtuous
rivalry helped them to make the most
Of the money.
In the table and housekeeping rou-
tine, also, Hester gave herself a certain
clbow-room; the routine was there but
u was sufficiently flexible TO admit OF
% surprise on occasion. Dinner, for in
stance, consisted, generally speaking,
Of either soup or salad, meat and two

in turn, the general motive, so to
speak, OF the dinner developed. When
the soup appeared, served in gold
banded plates, 1t bore on its surface a
single star cut from red pimento, as
the first suggestion of Christmas. The
entree sounded a still clearer note, the
red and gold ramekins In which 1t was
served resting on their saucers, sur

piled, or whittier It tended. Although
1t was, Of course, in the skillfully man
aged color transition that the unique
charm of the dinner lay, the menu will
perhaps be of interest as one which is
appropriate to the season without in
any way infringing upon the tradi-
tional dinner of Christmas day. 1t is
given below, with the recipe for the
roast pig, and others which may not
be familiar:
