BRIGHT and joyful Christmas

IN time once more. not the typi-
NN cal snowy Christmas OF our
fancies, but the gloriously
suushiny Yuietide OF the Christmas OF
the south. With Sunday preceding
Christmas day. 1t seemed almost as II
there were two festive holidays to be
celebrated and the young folk have di
vided the Christmas tree honors alnosi
evenly between the two days. Christ
mas eve this year was IN truth holy
night and il seemed more sweet Tor
that reason.
1t was more than usual this year a
personal home Christmas. Few open
houses were held, the greater part o.
society preferring to remain IN the fam
lily groups with only the most intimate
friends joining them, And with these
essentially personal gatherings there is
an added sweetness to the day and the
meaning Of the season.
Miss Dorothy Dodson entertained six
OF her intimate friends at Christmas
breakfast this morning. The table was
bright with typical Christmas decora-
tions, charming individual gifts being
presented each guest, who were Misses
Ruth Bulkley, Elizabeth and Frances
Bulkley Of Salina, Kan; Laura Dean
Thomas, Jeanette Dingee and Anna
Frances Brauer.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bisscll asked
,,..s,.ka. ,t r,tlIran IA their home
terday afternoon to share in the Christ
mas tree celebration which they gave
for their little daugher Virginia. The
house was gay with the typical Christ
mas decorations and each little guest
was given a miniature Christmas tree
bon-bon box filled with sweets. Other
favors typical OF the day, such as stock
ings filled with nuts and candy, were
given the little folks, The guests in
cluded Mary Louise and Bob Allen
Street, Betty LeComptc, Mary Stuart,
Caroline Bond, Mildred Grant, Evelyn
