The messages were sent following a

said to have been harshly criticized
by several of the ministers but sup

Rumanian defeat was due to the fact
that Russia had failed to supply the

early demonstration by the allies,

ElkS' Ball.

In these days of one-steps and fox
trots, with dances speeded up to a
feverish pace, it is not often that a
dancing party lasts long after the
midnight hour. The Thanksgiving
Elks ball was a most notable excep-
tion to the rule, and it was well along
toward getting up time when many
of the Elks and their ladies finally
gided through the last waltz And
the reason lay in the fact that every
body had a gloriously good time-the
sort of good time one always has at
Elks affairs with a little extra jollity
thrown in. The hours passed all too
quickly and the strains of Home,
Sweet Home" were heard with regret.
About sixty couples, including many
out-of-town Elks and guests, attend
ed The music furnished by Love
lands siy-piece orchestra was the
best yet and the turkey banquet serv-
ed at midnight was worthy of the
table of the best cook in this land of
famous cooks. The Elks entertain
ment committee and the brothers
who assisted them are indeed to be
congratulated upon staging one of
the most successful Thanksgiving af-
fairs for which B. P. o. E. 944 has
yet stood sponsor.

Thanksgiving day is the dearest
day of the year with the exception.
perhaps, of Christmas day. 1t is on
the morning of Thanksgiving that
the children of the home run early
to the door, and often, to see if the
loved guests are coming. We tell
the old stories, sing the old songs,
laugh at the old jokes, and live over
again the happy days of our child
hood. On account of our own boun-
ties, our hearts are made tender to-
ward those in less fortunate circum
stances, and generous gifts create a
tie of brotherhood which has lasting
effects.

ABOUT NEGLIGEES.

The most fascinating of all negligees
is the one in two layers of chiffon.
You may have the garment of any
shape preferred so long as its outline
Is indistinct and of classical sugges-
ton But be careful about blending
Its tones. If you decide to have its
outer layer in blue be sure the chosen
second shade of mauve rose or yellow
exactly accords with it. In arranging
the drapery let the underlayer occa-
sionally show distinctly. The beauty
about the double toned chiffon negligee
Is that 1t does not need supplementary
trimmings.
