Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In Wausau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers.

mere has been a dearth OF social
events during the past week, owing
TO christmas preparations. The
home-iife Is never more apparent
than at this time The planning of
gifts, the secret conclaves at the fam
lily hreside, the surprises in store for
loved ones and the joys of anticipa-
blon, blot out everything but the init
mate home-tieS and there is no time
or desire for social duties. Soon the
Christmas bells will ring in family
reunions. The children at school are
home for the holiday feast, and at
many tables three and four genera
tons will banquet together, and JOY
will reign supreme, for love of kin
brings JOY whether the home be palace
or cottage. And when the Christmas
bells are ringing their sweetest tones
ana the whole land is filled with
chime and carol, let US not forget to
give thanks for our home-life and for
the loved ones who are gathered
round us, and as the gentle text of
Peace on earth good will to men"
comes TO US once more let us resolve
not TO pack our Christmas spirit
away in moth balls" for another
year, but to keep the peace, joy, and
goodwill in our hearts, SO that in
our lives and homes, it will be sal
ways Christmas"
