Benn, In his customary happy style
announced that there would be three
guessing contests, handing each of
the pupils slips of paper, explaining
what these were to be used for, and
invited the guests into the library
where they beheld a Christmas tree
beautifully decorated and lighted
with candles, the decorations hav-
ing been brought from the land of
snow and ice where Christmas trees
and Santa Claus and reindeer were,
invented.
Stretched from the tree to opposite
sides of the room were lines from
which were suspended white and red
bags Of candies, nuts and popcorn
and, at the base of the tree were
clustered the packages containing the
favors for the evening. in regular old
fashioned style, each package bear
ing a number corresponding to the

wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the ouAsida.
This Is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impurt-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
Wsile the bowel pores do.
For every ounce Of food and drink
taken into the stomach. nearly an
ounce Of waste material must be-
carried out of the body. II this waste
material Is not eliminated day by day
1t quickly ferments and generates
po1sons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass OF real hot water with a tea
spoonful OF limestone phosphate in it,
which Is harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
"A quarter pound OF limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with dull, aching head or
nave furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro-
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.

of December 20, at her home, the
function proving fully as enjoyable
as the reputation Of these parties in
dicates, and as pleasant as only an
evening with this most charming and
delightful lady, as hostess, can be.
Holiday decorations of holly and
histletoe, in profusion, gave the home
a most comfortable and cheerful
Christmas season appearance and

number on one of the slips which
were handed to the pupils and which,
after all had guessed what the pack
ages contained, was to revert to the
one who had the same number as
that on his or her list.
This was very amusing contest,
and the extravaganza and elaborate
ness of some of the guesses kept the
pupils in very happy frame of
mind. On blackboard in one cor
ner of the library were written six
couplets each of which lacked the
closing word of each line, the contest
being to write the last word of the
first line and then the last word of
the second line which would be the
same as the first word written, minus
its first letter. The third contest was
to write, from memory, the titles of
ten, more or less, familiar pieces
which Mrs. Benin played on the piano.
Then the packages were opened
and the real fun was on, the nose of
laughter and racket producing toys
being too much for description, and
being quieted only by the announce
ment, at a late hour, of refreshments
in the dining room in which the gem
eral decorative scheme was carried
out and where informality was the
prescribed order.
Just before departing for their
homes the guests marched into the
library again, and each received one
of the bags which were suspended
from the tree, just to complete the
old-fashioned, genuine Christmas Gus
tom.
The three contest prizes were
awarded to Miss Thames, Mr.. Laney
and Mr.. Clark.
On leaving for their homes, the
guests simply smothered Mrs Benn
with expressions of pleasure and en-
joyment of the evenings festivities
and profusion of kindly wishes for
a happy New Year.
Those present were, of the pupils,
Misses Edna Turner, Lillian Clark,
Doris Adams, Erma Graham, Alice
Freeman, Lulu Thames, Cordelia
Adams, Margaret Wilhelm; Messrs.
Lamar Waters, Joe Richie, A.. c..
Sherrer, Robert Johnson, John Lewis,
Hal Laney and Jack Clark. Other
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. T. J..
Adams, Mrs. Lottie Bennett, Mrs.
May Clutter and Mrs. Geisler of Erie,
Pa.
Mrs. Benn's charming and beauti-
full young daughter, Rhoda, is spend
ing her holidays at home, after hay-
ing been absent all winter attending
the Florida State College for Women
at Tallahassee and added greatly to
the pleasure of the guests by her
presence.
