Governor and Mrs. Mcdonald were
quests of honor at a party given by
Mrs Rupert f. Asplund on Wednes-
day evening. 1t was also in honor
Of the retiring as well as incoming
heads of the department of education.
Dignity of office was laid aside TOT

Governor and Mrs Mcdonald LED
off in the Virginia reel and the quad"
lrille with all the grace and spirit OF
thirty years ago. John V. Conway
as master of ceremonies, called out
the figures and looked after the mu-
sic. He also contributed his Dit

Spanish and Irish dialect songs that
were as funny as they make them,
Charades were acted and enjoyed
lust as in the days of the little dis
trict school way back east some

Escalloped oysters, Boston brown
bread, meat jelly coffee, nuts and
raisins were included in the refresh
ments which were served at small
tables, each lady choosing her own
partner, husbands being proclaimed
persona non grata for the occasion.
In short. the affair was different
from the ordinary run and therefore
hugely enjoyed. Christmas green's
red candles with their Pickering
light. lilies and other blossoms were
the decorations.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. n. B.
Laughlin, and daughter, Mrs william
H. Barker, gave a tea in honor OF Mrs.
Mcdonald and daughter, Mrs. Spen-
Ger. The Laughlin home is opposite
to the mansion and the Laughlins and

ministraton There are real regrets |

bellum Britishers Of all ages-a nor
mai group, with their chat, their tea,
their out-of-doOr joys. their pleasant
ard in1wate code of living. This
England before the war is beautifully
described, and Essex is the essential
England far more than London or the
manufacturing districts
Then the war comes, putting an end
to the smooth routine of life at Match
ng's Easy, as it puts an end to all
the vague restlessness and inward
strife of Britain. How it affects in
one way or another, all the members
of the group which has focused at
Dover house is the substance of this
story.
The story of Mr. Britlng's relation
to his son, Hugh, who goes into the
trenches at the age of IS. hut pre-
tending to be 10, is as poignant a
study of tatherhood as any literature
has produced. Mr. Drifting hopes
and fears, and his fears come true
for Hugh is killed He makes his
way through the torrents of racial
and personal loss to place of spir-
itual safety and even eXaltation.
Surely the war is testing writer's as
well as men, and Mr.. Wells has given
us the war, against the mirror of an
minds, through the me-
dunn of an English home.

Albuquerque Boys on the Border
Send Thanks for the Christmas
Music, Books, Candy, and Cigars

II. Barney Mrs. Noah Ilfeld, Mr.. G.
A. Kaseman and DR.. Peters.
We wish to thank those also who
provided us with books, candies and
cigars, The books were most thought
full. Many an hour these cold and
wintry nights will be made pleasant
and profitable by them, anG recall the
givers with thoughts of thanks and
good will We are still boys most of
us; and being boys, we like our candy.
whenever men are gathered together
as they are here, they have their store
and they buy candy like the boys they
are. They never grow up in this
respect As boys we eat candy; but
as men we smoke. and so we thank
you for the cigars you sent us. Some
Of us will see faces in the wreaths Of
blue they make, and will be carried in
the arms Of memory back. to other
days and other scenes
We spent a pleasant Christmas,
that Is as pleasant as could be spent
away from home and the ones we
love. With music for our hearts,
books for our minds. and candy and
cigars to satisfy the animal, we had
more than we had any reason to look
forward to- Our dinner was a sue
cess, despite the wind that blew down
mess halls and kitchens, flattened
tents and played havoc with every
thing to the tune of sixty miles an
hour. 1t may interest you to know
what we had so you can see that the
old tale of bacon and beans does not
always ring true. Here is our menu:
Cream of Celery Soup
Ripe Olives Celery
Roast Pork
Cranberry Sauce Brown Gravy
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Dreamed Cocoanut Pie Pumpkin Pie
Ratsns Oranges
Apples
Cider Candy
Coffee Cigars
We wished you all Merry Christ

to express our hope that the New
