Santa Claus Dance.

Santa Claus dance is one Of the
most delightfut of all Christmas frol-
les and really one Of the easiest to
plan, for only one scheme Of decoration
has to be thought Of, only one idea
kept in mind-Santa Claus. Santa
Claus everyw here-and it is one that
appeals to the youngest as we'll as the
oldest dancers.
To begin with, write the invitations
on paper or cards which bear the good
saints image. Such paper or cards
can be found everywhere. Postal cards.
at least, bearing Santa Claus portrait

the Invitation and then be inclosed in
an envelope or else small gummed

well be worded in Sauta's name for
instance.

Jones, where he is goisg 10 spend the
evening"
The house decorations should. of
course, include plenty of holly and
Christmas greens. but If possible small
Santas should play a conspicuous part
IN the scheme. Paper or china or
cloth whatever they are. they should
perch over the doors or windows. cling
TO holly wreaths and hide themselves
in the greens.

A Holiday Card Party.

Invitations are sent out and delivered

ment Tor yellow paper, sealed with RED
wax and written In the formal manner
Of old times, bidding We guest TO come
TO We inn lat the Sign of ye Christmas
Tree on a certain date. At q country
house 1t would be possible to hang

The dining room with a big fire roar
ing up the chimney Is the place to hold
this party. Ropes of evergreen and
wreaths Of holly supply the holiday at
mosphere. and a large trimmed tree
should be stood In one corner. Lamps
and candies are used for lighting, and
all unnecessary furniture should be re-
moved for the time being. with the exs
ceptiOn OF wooden settles standing on
either side of the fireplace and the
small tables and chairs that are placed
as usual for progressi e card game.
The tally cards are cut in the shape
of Christmas trees. For each game won
a gold star is pasted on the tree. The
favors, which should suggest the sea
son. are hidden in colored stockings.
which are hung on the tree. During
the game a small boy dressed as an
fnnkeeper of Washington's time should
pass tankards containing lemonade or
hot chocolate. At the end Of the game
the guests remain at the tables, where
they are served by the boy and small
girl. also in the dress of this period
with individual hot chicken pies, little
rolls, tarts. cookies. gingerbread. sugar
plums, nuts and raisins.
A green wreathed large bowl of some
hot spiced drink is placed before the
hostess, and while she. serves her
guests a half dozen little children in
simple colonial garb enter the room
and sing God Rest Ye Merry Gentle
men, and other well known Christmas
carols. This will require, a slight re-
hearsing beforehand. but the unexpect-
ed climax to the party will appeal TO
the audience. The children should
pass around their hats after singing
and they are paid with nuts and can

Ranchers Give Options and Present Deal
Expected To Co Through

Walker of Potash arrived here Monday
from Duckwater in an auto and re.
manned two days attending to some
legal matters. II is learned that Mr..
Fletcher has just succeeded in securing
options on the lands of all the Duck
water ranches with the exception of the
Irwin homestead, besides the stores Of
Jesse Mendes aud Seraphine Rogantini.
Mrs. Bertha Rich was the last to sign ny.
and when her signature was secured
here on Tuesday the deal was completed.
According to the terms Of the sale the
first payment Of five per cent is to be
made on August 1, a second payment Of
five per cent is to be made on November
1. and the final payment of 30 per cent
is to be made on June 1, 1918, when the
property is to be turned over to the new
owners.
The Duckwater ranches were under
option several years ago, but the deal,
which was said to have been in the in
terest of the Mormon Church, failed to
go through. The present options are re.
ported to have been made for a company
that intends colonizing the lands and
selling them put to settlers in 40 acre
tracts.
