the convention, and the assistance OF
the Hammond Business Mems associa-
tion has been pledged TO help in getting
the contention or Indiana Harbor.
1t is desired however that this num-
Der be greatly increased and the club
has asked every member who can possib-
ly get away from this business to make
the effort to go to Fort Wayne, to a Id
to the already imposing delegation
promising attendance.
Besides the support of Hammond the
Commercial club of Indiana Harbor and
East Chicago solicited the support OF
the Gary Commercial club, but while
the Business Mems association of the
former club was prompt in its response
and enthusiastic in its offer Of support.

the Hammond high school squad must
stack up this season. The game is
scheduled to be played a Michigan City
next Saturday Hammond's chances to
win from Michigan City are considered
very good because the teams are

AS a matter Of course, at the Christmas dinre-
Gas on other occasions) the table was waited upon
Dy slaves, who did duty as house servants. Two
were allotted to each guest, SO that quite a mum
Der were required. All Of the eatables had to be
fetched a considerable distance, the kitchen being
detached from the mansion, with which it was
connected by a covered way.
At the houses of the great Virginia families at
that period 1t was customary for the ~slavesto welt
on the table In their ordinary plantation garb.
But at Mount Vernon many things were OF a
scale OF exceptional luxury, and the negroes who
performed such service were clad in Washing
tons own livery of red, white and gold, which
was handsome and striking.
One may suppose, then, that the conversation at
the Christmas dinner was mere than ordinarily
entertaining. AS a matter of course, everybody
was hungry: for, according to the custom OF
those days. there were only two meals-breakfast,
which was early, and dinner. The necessity for
supper was removed by a great prolcngation of
the dinner, at which each person was expected to
eat all that he or she possibly could. In fact, It
was the duty Of the hostess gently to persuade
her guests to gorge themselves to r%epletion. while
the host made it his business to press wine and
other turntables upon the men to an extent which
In these times would be considered most i'm
prudent.
The ladies, however, drank little or nothing.
So far as they were concerned, the prohibition Of
stimulants was much more strict than it is today
"a rather curious thing, when it is considered
how copiously the men imbibed. AS for the lat
ter. II on occasions a gentleman took too much,
the matter was politely ignored-such an acct
dent. it was considered. being more or less likely
to happen to anybody. But it should be under
stood that the really hard drinking was done,
not while the ladies were present, but after their
departure from the table.

England. the main timbers being cut from the
nearby forest, while the outer sheathing Of North
Carolina pine was hewn into blocks to resemble
stone.
There were about a dozen bedrooms, all Of
them small, and doubtless they were rather
crowded at Christmas time-some of the people.
very likely, doubling up" All Of the rooms had
low ceilings; there was no paper on the walls;
water pipes Of all kinds were conspicuous by
their absence; no furnace heated the mansion
there were no stoves, indeed), and the only II.
limitation in the evening was furnished by can
dies. Yet. as things went in those days. this was
a luxurious establishment.
The Christmas dinner was at 3 o'clock in the
banquet hall" and probably twenty-five or thirty
peopls eat down to the repast. The table was
covered with a snowy damask cloth, and there
were fine linen napkins-both being Injuries rath-
er exceptional in those days. But this was by no
means all. There was a handsome service OF
pure silver. most of which had belonged to the
widow Gusts when she married Mr.. Washington,
and also there was a big display of cut glass even
more precious. Most remarkable of all, however,
there were real silver forks-a rarity indeed!
Ladies and gentlemen ate with their knives IN
those days in a way that would now be consid-
efed shocking. 1t was a matter almost Of neces-
sity, inasmuch as the forks they used, which had
only three tines, did not serve very we'll for some
purposes. such as the carrying Of peas to the
mouth, for example, 1t is painful to think of the
Father of His Country at his Christmas dinner
putting his knife into the mouth, but there is no
doubt that he did so. Another oddly. as now.
adays 1t would be considered, was the arrange
ment Of the table, upon which all the dishes to
be served. including even the buildings and pies,
were placed at once. No wonder that in those
times a festive board was said to "groan" beneath
the weight of the viands!

now, and the message Of peace and
good will has been carried every
where. Somehow. when you lay a
newborn babe In a mans arms, you
are pretty sure to bring a smile to his
face. and a softening to his heart as
well. An infant is a great peace
orlnger. What has touched and soft
ened the heart OF this grim world
more than anything else, is the re-
membrance that Christmas brought a
blessed child down to earth and laid
him c%onfidingly in the arms of hui
manity. brought him from home, and
left him outcast, that the opportunity
might be given to every man to take
him in end give him the love and
tenderness which is every chiid's
birthright.

This 1t is, which moves us to strive
to make children happy at Christmas.
They may be like those who float
along with the river. knowing nothing
of It's lovely source high up in the
everlasting hills. But even if they do
not know why, most of US do want to
make it a merry time for children
1t is emphatically the cbildren's fes-
tival. No n ever regrets it who goes
out of the way to help some little
ones to be happy at Christmas. They
are the special friends of the Christ
mas child. and 1t is we'll to be able to
entertain the kings friends, If not the
king himself.

Christmas brings the remembrance
OF a gift go great and wonderful that
all who realize what It meant to tho

thing In return though it may be
nothing more than the expression CT
a wish for a merry Christmas. No ore

apt to forget to be considerate, forgfv-

Centuries Of experience have prov

peace and good will. Anger and NAL
