Regular meeting of Mashapaug lake grange next Wednesday evening"
 The ice storm made scenery of un- usual loveliness last Saturday. A few were out with cutters on Sunday and reported the sleighing good. The wheeling is also excellent.
 At the morning service last Sunday Rev. T. A. Williams had for his sub- ject Numbering our days, taking his text from Psalms 90:12. The sermon was we'll fitted to the closing days of the old year and to entering with new courage upon the work be- fore us in the days to come.
 The church was we'll filled last Wednesday evening, when the Christ. mas cantata, "The Real Santa Claus, |" was held in connection with the Christmas tree. Great credit is due to Mrs. H. R. Howard, Mrs. George Heck and Miss Elsie Horton for the faithful work done in drilling for the cantata. The parts were we'll carried out and it was a pleasure to note the hearty enjoyment of the children and young people who participated. At the close of the cantata short ad- dress was given by Rev. T. A. Will. Hams. The tree was beautifully laden with gifts and the children were we'll remembered Those who worked to decorate the church so prettily, to purchase the gifts and to help in various other ways, can have the satisfaction of feeling that their efforts were successful
 The funeral of Robert Bruce Horton was held at the church last Friday afternoon. Notwithstanding the storm, large number of sympathetic friends gathered to pay tribute to the memory of one who for so many years had been an earnest, faithful helper in every good work connected with church and post and grange. The pas- tor, Rev. T. A. Williams, was deeply tender and sympathetic in the service at the church. A quartet of MT. and Mrs. L. M. Reed, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Miller sang two hymns, all the more impressively as the organ was not used. Among the many beautiful floral tokens, there were tributes from post and grange, in both of which MT. Horton had long been an active

One of the gravest social problems of the day is that of dancing. A year ago it was one confronting every big city in it's nickel dance halls and amusement parks. This year the danger is creeping further and is in sinuating itself into eminently respect able circles. And it is doing this so cleverly that it is deceiving some of the elect People who wish to be broadly tolerant are oountenancing dances which their instincts tell them are disgusting, and which doctors have pronounced full of danger from a physiological point of view. College girls, when they go home Christmas, and at other times when they go to dances, are likely to have embarras- sing situations to meet. We would not be prudish, yet we would be de- cent. The administrative powers here at Wellesley condemn these extreme dances. We, as college women are being watched'- oh, we hear this so DuO ID 4S GA uCs anu AS no place where it is truer than at a dance of to-day. We know that their "lack of self consciousness and primitive naturalness'' is a mighty poor plea for some styles of dancing. We have outgrown our primitive an- cestors' war paint, nose-rings and bloody sacrifices why should we cling to their dances? Each one of us has influence, even if not always credited with it. It is a trust that a liberal education gives us. We ought, there fore, to use our power faithfully and conscientiously against such a danger as is threatening dancing. Wellesley College News.
