Visiting, the Pdn-Americdn
Unions Home In WdShin 6tOn
Social Service Department
ny MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

The new home of the Pan-American
union in Washington is located at the
entrance of Potomac park, a tract of
land covering five acres facing the Presi-
dents park and known as the play
ground of the city, having here the mu-
nicipal tennis courts, etc, for the city.
This park is also known as White Lot
The structure and grounds of the build.
ing represents an investment of 81 1000, 600,
of which the American republic contrib
uted $250000 and Andrew Carnegie the
rest.
Exquisite statuary ornaments the ex-
terror of the building on one side is
the North American group and opposite
is the South American group; above the
North American group is a panel or bas
relief representing Washington's farewell
to his generals and its counterpart on the
opposite side is the meeting of San Mar
tin and Bolivar, the liberators of South
America
The most attractive part of the build
ing is the Latin-American patio or court
YARD, IN the center of which is a foun-
tain designed by Gertrude Vanderbilt
Whitney; the plants and flowers in this
court yard are the rarest flora of tropical
America. In the midst of the flowers
are two large stands with cages at the
top These contain wonderfully plum
aged tropical birds, whose loud call is
heard all over the building, making the
illusion quite realistic and charming.
Inc building contains wonderful old
pictures OF the customs and times of the
Astecs and library with capacity of

MISS NIXON HOSTESS
FOR ATTRACTIVE VISITOR

To introduce her lovely guest, Miss
Adeline Wright of Rome, Ga. Miss Emily
Dixon was hostess at a large buffet sup
per at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. F. w. Dixon, on Sycamore street,
last evening, from to o'clock.
The lower floor was festooned with trail
ing smilax and the colonial columns were
attractively draped with this pretty green
cry while the dining table, made lovely
with Madeira mats and cut glass COM
ports filled with bonbons, held a large
white basket, filled with holly and tied
with huge bow of red tulle as a CEN
trail decorative motif A delicious supper
was served.
Miss Dixon received her guests wearing
dainty costume of white taffeta and
lace and Miss Wright wore a pretty
French model of white tulle becomingly
trimmed with chiffon embroidered in sill
YER
This was one of the most delightful of
the many entertainments to be given for
the debutantes and college set during the
holiday season.

100000 volumes. Back of the building is
a formal Asteo garden, with a pool form
ing the central picture; a figure presides
at the pool and is an enlargement of the
Sad Indian" of Astec mythology.
The commercial purposes of the union
are to reach both North and South Amer
lea, doing all it can to facilitate the build
ing up of trade among the American ma
tions.
The union publishes numerous hand
books and pamphlets, special reports and
maps. The union shows through its ac-
tive correspondence with all parts of the
western hemisphere that it is an excel
lent barometer of the growing interest in
Pan-American affairs.
The following figures will be interesting
as they demonstrate the Importance of
the Pan-American commerce and the
work of the Pan-American union.
The total population of the q American
republics, including the United States,
maintaining the Pan-American union ap-
proximates 1872 100000 of which there are
in the United States 92, 100000 and in Latin
America 100000.
The total area of the American re-
publics is, approximately, 100000 of
which Latin-America has 100000 and the
United States without Alaska, etc., g.
100000
The total foreign commerce. exports
and imports, of the 81 American republics,
including the United States, is STOPS, 000,-
600; of this Latin-America has $3.50 Co.,
600. The share of the United States in
Latin-American trade is 1929, 100000.
Ihls latter total is divided as follows
Imports from the United States, 1902, OOO,-
600; exports to the United States, s51S, OOO-
900. The trade of the United States with
Latin-America 10 years ago equalled ap-
proximately $4,000, 600. This is an in
crease in that time of $504,000,O0O.

MISS HUMES CHRISTMAS
PARTY FOR CHILDREN

Miss M. c. Hume gladdened the hearts
of the little folks who attend her kinder
garten at her home on Mountain avenue
yesterday, entertaining them at a Christ
mas party.
The room was attractively festooned
with holly and other decorations of the
Yuletime season. and in the center was
a huge tree ladened with gifts from Santa
Claus for the tiny tots, and there were
presents made by the children for their
mothers. A charming feature of the af-
fair was the singing of Christmas songs
by the little girls and boys

On Christmas Day In the Morning

W. HATS the good of Christmas,
M anyway" Don't you hear

~kNV7 HATS the good of Christmas,
NM anyway" Don't you hear a
lot of people saying that
over and over again during the Christmas
season, when purses run low and hard
times stare them in the face, when the
coal bill and warm food for the chill
dren and all sorts of practical things
confront them?
But while we say this often, perhaps
before the joyous season, you scarcely
ever hear anybody saying it on Christ
mas Day in the morning.
Whatever the hardships have been pre-
viously, whatever the crosses and trials,
when Christmas Day itself comes, none
of us ever overlook this beautiful holt
day of the heart.
Stress of events may blot out every
other date, but one looks back across
the years, and the twenty-fifths of De-
cember stand out like rows of shining
lights, or like wrecked and twisted stand
ards which should have borne lights.
And so underneath our wish, "a Happy
Christmas" lies deeper meaning.
We give and receive a gay greeting
and feel unaccountably warm about the
heart because of a greeting we have ex-
changed which has not arisen to the
surface of consciousness
If your Christmas today is happy it will
brighten all the years that are to come.
If it is troubled the suffering will cast
its shadow upon another year, and so
"A Happy Christmas that its glory may
last always.
Comes also the sympathetic, TT will
be sad Christmas for them"-for them
in distress, and the world is SO full of that
kind today
And now we come to the point of the
story: How can any one ask what is
the good Of a season which defies con-
dition, convention, war, pestilence and
famine, and draws our hearts together
above them?
The Christmas floods the heart of hui
mainly with the warm blood of feeling
for ones fellow man, and delivers us
from the atrophy which may threaten us
at the glad time.
What's the use of Christmas, any
way?'
Listen:
Stifle your cynical emotions you who
ask the question, and HE yourself out
among people who are enjoying this glor-
ious holiday and learn from them.
The good of Christmas will come to you
when you are least looking for it.
