Social Notes


The Christmas spirit has prevailed
during the past two weeks for Christ
mas is the center and pivot of hui
man history. 1t is the end Of one
world and the beginning of another.
All the events of history previous to
TO this divine human birth conyerged
toward IT, all events since have diverg-
ed from it. This beautiful and sacred
birthday has changed the music, the
architecture, the literature. the creeds
and the social life of great portions
OF the human race. Charles Dickens
said, Il have always thought of
Christmas time when it has come
around as a good time. a kind forgiv-
ing, charitable, pleasant time, the only
time / know of in the long calendar of
the year when men and women seem
by one consent to open their shut-up
hearts freely. Therefore, though it
has never put a scrap OF gold or sill
yer in my pocket. l believe that it
has done me good and will do me
good, and I say God bless it,"
The past two weeks have seer much
merry making n general good cheer
in Fargo homes, many were made
doubly happy by the visit OF some
member of the family circle coming
from a long distance. The engage
ments were announced Of several of
Fargo's pretty young daughters. and
many dancing parties were given by
the fashionable dancing clubs, when
ladies and gentlemen tripped the may
waltz to alluring tunes and the spa
cious ball rooms were utilized to most
excellent advantage. Sleighride par
ties, dinner parties, family reunions,
all linked together to make one solid
chain of enjoyment, 1t was the time
when all Bitterness, all malice. all IN
kindness left the heart n gentle
ness, love and mercy filled the soul
and dominated our lives. The celes-
tial choir which echoed owe the plains
OF Bethlehem on the night Christ was
born once more echoed around the
world GLORY to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
