patiently to hear the sleigh bells OF old Kriss,
and wonder what will be left upon the hearth.

"debs" as far as parties co. although Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Winter Baily have invited num-
ber OF the debutantes and young men from the
dancing set to an Informal old-fashoned Christ
party at their residence, "Roselyn,"

Wood Baily. Their attractive home will be
decorated with holly and evergreens and bits of
mistletoe, OF course.
