They stated that thousands of their friends and neighoors have their eyes turned this way, their attention having been directed to the south through the system of adver- Using adopted year or two ago, the Chicago land show and demonstration trains run through the west by the 1lli- nois Central and other railroads.

MT. and Mrs. Maben Hosts
 at Box Party
FORECAST OF EVENTS
American Beauty and Meteor at Rosebud Supper Party-Society at Home and Abroad-Per-
 sonal Mention
By MYRTLE MILES

Chicago had a debutante ball recently
 in which the east and south will find
 interest This, says Town and Country,
 was the presentation of Miss Caryl
 Spoor. daughter of MT. and Mrs. John
 A. Spoor, whose country place at Pitts field, Mass. takes them east to live for several months of every year. Mir.
 and Mrs. Spoor gave the presentation ball in the crystal ball room of the
 Blackstone hotel. The arrangements
 throughout were simple. The guests were late in arriving for most of the debutantes had had dinners given in their honor and the elders had gone
 to the opera for Mary Gardens first performance of this season of "Thais."
 Therefore the cotillon was late in start
 ing and the dance ended with a 5
 o'clock breakfast. The cotillon-given
 with simple favors-was led by MT.
 Chauncey Mccormick assisted by MT. Clive Runnells, MT. Albert Farwe1l and
 MT. Kenneth Goodman. The favors
 largely were paper fancies, one butter- fly figure having for the finding of partners pretty idea in the young men IoSSiHS lHe DulleTIlleS 1nIO the alf W1tn
 the young woman upon whose gown the butterfly alighted serving as part
 ner in the dance. For another mating idea the young women drove small golf balls across the ball room flour using
 tiny golf sticks of piano wire. The man who caught the ball danced with the young woman golfer. Mrs. Spoor's cos
 tune of the occasion was elaborate. It was fashioned of ghen and silver brocade draped with chiffon. The skirt was outlined with a. two inch band of ermine down either side of the front where it opened over a petticoat of creamy lace in deep ruffles. Her jewels for the evening included a pearl and diamond dog collar, a chain of dia-
 monds from which hung a pendant of diamonds and large emerald, and a tiara of emeralds and diamonds. Miss Spoor's gown was of white satin with
 bit of lace. She carried orchids

, love, rooted in genuine affection, is open to question if we guage 1t by the : useless trifies that are sent us, holly wreathed and mistletoe bedecked on ''Christmas Day in the Morning.
 Nobody wants to eliminate Christmas giving, because then there would be no Christmas!
 The Wise Men brought Gold and Frankincense and Myrrh to the Child in the Manager, and no doubt Mother Mary loved the gifts, but she prob ably held much more precious the little knitted socks her cousin Elizabeth made for the Child, or the small clothes the wife of the kindly Keeper of the Inn bestowed upon Him.
 Gold and Frankincense and Myrrh and wonderful gifts you can buy with money are very welcome at Christmas time, but there are gifts inexpensive in them- selves that mean quite as much to our families and our friends
 Let, us consider some of our friends we are going to remember.
 It's good plan to start right now!

"christmas always jumps at me so, a girl said recently. Tt doesn't seem to me that I've more than cleared away the tissue paper and aired the house of the odors of Mince Pie and Fruit Cake and Fireworks, before Din bang up against it again. Here everybody is tying up pack ages for everybody else, and I've got nothing for nobody!''
