Use of Church In War.

While waiting for an automobile in
West Flinders. Belgium. to take him
to the battle front a correspondent OF
the Associated Press entered at dawn
the Church Of st. Nicholas, the great
clock in the belfry of which lowered
above the historic square in Fnrnes.
Instead Of the small group of villagers
that he expected to find listening to
the Christmas MASSES, he saw 1000
l'el%ian soldier cyclists b]iyouacked on
the floor.
Around the dimly lighted altar in the
apse Il pathetic family group was gath
cred about the coffin of Il small child.
While the clergy intoned the funeral
mass at the side of the church a spe-
cIal mass for soldiers was being cele-
DRAFTED. with rows of mud covered men
from the trenches knepling before the
altar.

great organ which now pealed through
the church. 4 few soldiers had pro.

When the child has Il fair noun of

The frequency of waSilin" the brush
required depends on the quality oi hair
the child possesses and also the degree
TO which it is exposed to dirt and dust.

Under such circumstances Il clean

Let the heart be the prevailing shape
for table decorations and whatever

ice" and get every one in i; jolly humor
is to place Il basket in the center OF

different color for each side.
Let the opposing sides take turns at
trying to throw the cards into the DnS-
ket from II given Distance. The side
getting the grenter number OF hearts
into the basket will be the winner.
This sounds as if it would be al easy
thing to do. The fun is in seeing the
hearts land everywhere but in the bas-
ket.
Another merrinlcllt maker is the
game of trying to blow soap bubbles
through TWO large rings made of wire
and bent to a heart shape. Wrap the
wires with red tissue paper OF ribbon
and suspend them in Il wide opening.
between folding doors or elsewhere.
Have your basin of sOapSNus and clay
