A Fine Way to Celebrate

While planning for safe and sane Fourth, don't
forget good idea which originated in Rochester, N.
Y, the birthplace of the social centers.
Under the auspices of the civic clubs which had
been meeting in the schoolhouses democratically to
null over common problems, a dinner arranged
for the newest citizens foreigners who had been
naturalized during the preceding year.
AS guests of honor, these newcomers into our ma
tional life, SO often scorned by older voters, were
publicly given the hand of welcome and told what
their well wishers hoped they might make of the
opportunities.
IF you've always lived among lifelong friends you
probably haven't measure of the satisfaction with
which these foreign-born folk received this novel
token of kindly spirit in the land to which they
had so recently come. If you have ever known how
good it feels to meet one familiar face in crowd of
strangers when you away from home, you will
sense, perhaps, the emotions of the Italians and
Greeks and Russians who yearly, around Rochester's
civic welcoming table, learn that they have place
in the world life and friendly souls who want
to see them make good.
It is a very little thing for native Americans to do
but it goes far to create wholesome spirit. Why
not try it this year?

Ragtime," is delightful in her
brief act, and shows an unusual
amount of cleverness. Zalfredo,

Scenes of idyllic beauty will be
presented by Lyman H. Howe at

Wednesday, during a delightful
