Rev. T. B. Thompson Speaks
Before Local Woman Club

Rev. Thomas Barney Thompson OF
Rockford in his address, Dramatic
Prophecies of Womanhood." impress
ed the members of the Woman's club
OF Rock Island before whom he spoke
al Masonic temple Saturday after
noon, with his earnestness of purpose
and with the care with which he had
studied his subject and with his clear
manner of presenting the subject mat
ter. He dealt with the feminine I'M
rest and yearning that had developed
into a feminist movement which
means changed economic and social
conditions OF womanhood. BY the
use of dramatic illustrations from
numerous dramas. especially "Hindle
Wakes" by Stanley Houghton and
The Great Divide" by William
Vaughn Moody he showed in a pleas
ing way the change that is working
in the woman OF today The modern
woman is discovering her personality.
She is discovering that her environ
ment limits her powers for develop
ment and expression. so she protests
against those standards which are
SuDNc SlNt W anu size
works with great earnestness for
other standards that will give TO her a
sympathetic atmosphere in which she
may grow TO her full stature as a hui
man being.
The woman OF today desires to
measure up TO the social RESPONSE
bilities of the present day and to take
her place side by side with man and
demands a single standard for them
alike. She explores her resources and
then helps to shape her social environ
ment so that her powers may have
fuller and freer scope. Old ideals and
limitations can not now be imposed
upon womanhood, she must measure
up to the present day standards. Pre-
ceding the address by DR.. Thompson,
Mrs. Daniel Hayes. Jr., accompanied
by Mrs. J. r. Tuckis. sang very sweet
ly a group of three songs Fate" by
Finden; "A Little Winding Road" by

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

The Christmas dinner is not usually
such a distinctive feature as the
Thanksgiving day feast.
On this day, however, tradition still
plays an important part; so it may be
a roast young pig, roast beef with
Yorkshire pudding. goose or turkey,
whichever the family have been ac-
customed to, for generations back
Many a home would think the din
ner incomplete without the plum pud-
ding, with its decorations of holly and
the blue burning flame from the rum
poured over or around it. There is no
doubt we have all learned by expert
ence that it is pretty hard for the
mother to center much time on the
preparation of food on this day, when
especially where there are children in
the family, the excitement over toys
and other gifts is not very conducive
TO much work.
So whatever is to be the menu let
it be- prepared we'll in advance of
Christmas day. will give merely
suggestive one, from which many
changes may be made to suit the in
dividuaI families.

Grapefruit with Pomegranate.

1t is impossible to plan the above
Christmas dinner without giving
some thought to the table decoration
and setting of the table. There are
many families who plan giving their
presents at the table. Then for the
center piece / have seen this year
wonderful reindeer hitched to a
sleigh which would hold all the small
gifts. They should be standing on
cotton sprinkled with diamond dust
to represent the snow. A very tiny
Christmas tree not over two inches
high should stand at each plate with
Santa Claus Christmas place card
standing beside it. These are very
attractive ard cost only a few cents
