CHRISTMAS
Churches Entertain Sunday

Serenely Quiet.

Contrary to Connor, there was
a nice FIVE inch snow on the
ground for Christmas. The day
was beautiful and more like an
old fashioned Christmas day
than any other for years. The
entire week was devoted to Sc
lection of tokens for friends. but

The churches entertained their
Sunday schools by gifts free

and the slush ia search of what
ever entertainment could be
found.
At the Baptist there was a
short and interesting program

school pupil. The M. E. South
members entertained their Sun

Hall for as long as it required tc
distribute presents and dismiss

THE OMEGA CLUB
SOire, Musicale ct Dansante.
Seasons Supreme SOciale.
Society EnMasse.

The one saving clause in the
account of the doings of society
so far this season was the Omega
club entertainment held at the
American Theatre Tuesday even
ing. The true spirit of sociability
and disposition TO indicate that
the city yet could calm distinct
ion for knowing how to set and
conduct a brilliant function, OBJ
tained, and the result exceeded
the most sanguine expectations
of the club under all the circum-
stances.
The most optimistic scenic ar
tist would never have dreamed of
it being possible by decorations
at hand in a small city to so en-
belish a crude picture show
house to that perfection Of dis
guisement that when one. long
familiar with the interior step
ped past the foyer. he would
fancy himself in some Oriental
studio and lose consciousness of
former familiar objects and sur
roundings, but to that degree of
perfection was the movie house
transformed. The stage was set
with cabaret equipments and so
embellished with drapery of silk
and tinsel that it appeared as a
grotto. The huge table was load
ed with luncheon accessible at all
times. From the top of the
stage and diagonally across the
mair floor to the further corners
hung lines of beautiful colored
paper cables from which depend
ed beautiful bells, wreaths and
fans Of bright colored siiken
paper and from the point where
the lines crossed in the center
of the room hung a huge glitter
ing red bell with a large mistle-
toe sprig swaying from its CEN
ter. The south end of the big
room was solid wall of beauti-
full pictures and hand made de-
corative designs, and the aIcove
in the wall was made to repre-
sent an onyx spring house, in the
center Of which was a huge cut
glass punch bowl on an ebony
table. The prismatic glinting of
the rays from the cut glass bowl
and mugs which surrounded it,
lent the impression that it was a
crystal cave in the center of which,
was a basin filled with nectarine.
Along the eastern wall were
ranged table for various games.
The entire west side of the room
was seated for harmonious spec
tators, and about the hall in
convenient hooks were divans,
cushioned chairs and settees.
| The piano was near the lunch
gretto and with it was furnished
good music for dancing, for the
cabaret and for the entertain
ment of visitors by an imported
performer.
At $50 a brilliant throng of
society people had assembled,
women and men in evening cos
tune. 8e it said that there has
never been a more elegantly or
, appropriately gowned number of
women and girls at any function
in this city. All of the costumes
, were most becoming to the wear
, ers, sour grape suggestions to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The improvised program opened
with a promenade by all. then a
grand march, and from that on
: every dance known to our gov
ernor. Luncheon general about
: 1890, then dancing and games
were resumed and continued to
a respectable hour for such en-
joyment to end.

NEARBY TOWNS WANT
FIRE PROTECTION
Residents Hold Meeting and Viii
Petition Council to Extend
Mains

Extension of Steelton's water mains
to furnish the villages of Enhaut and
Oberlin with fire protection will be
urged upon Steelton's council by resi-
dents of Swatara township.
At a mass meeting of citizens in the
Enhaut Fire Company's parlors last
evening, various means for supplying
fire protection to the Mohn street dis
trict were discussed and it was de-
cided to appoint a committee to take
up the question of obtaining water for
Oberlin and Enhaut from Steelton.
Fire Chief John E. Shupp, Jr., of
Steelton, with Deputy State Fire
Marshals Goe and William Morgan,
we're present and gave talks on gen.
eral methods of fire fighting.
For many years the growing section
in Mohn street, just beyond the Steel
ton borough limits, has been without
adequate fire protection. No water
mains extend beyond the borough line
and it is necessary to have Steelton
fire companies pump water for long
distances before a fire can be success
fully fought. Many disasterous fires
have occurred in this district in re-
cent years
Steeltons pumping station has a
capacity sufficient to supply these
towns with filtered water and there is
now no obstacle to the plan II 1t is
properly carried out.
