Why not try and pull joke, can"

Let your soul be singing and your
face light up with cheer.
Today's the time 10 start anew, dare
and do, laugh few,
Try to be an optimist and boost a
man along,
Let the frowns and fears vacate, wipe
the slate, don't hesitate,
A grin is quite contagious and will
fill some heart with song
AS we go along our way, now today,
let us say,
"Pll try to make some fellow smile,
to chase away his frown."
And when you see his face alight.
you'll feel just right, the world is
bright
You've added to your heritage and
won another crown.

Several weeks ago the Greensboro

EARLY BUYING.

The Christmas gift custom is a yer
 charming one if handled with tsonas common sense and consideration for those who serve us But if millfen9
 of people wake up about one week
 before the holiday to the fact that
 the usual gifts must be purchased and
 sent, the simultaneous burden of work thus created makes lot of troi- ble.
 As a result of this identical Inn
 pulse, the people all at once, in what might seem like an attack of popular
 hysteria, begin to throng the stores In some of them the rush becomes 2
 tostling mob as the day approaches.
 The tired clerks show that the holi- day is not one of peace on earth and good will to them.
 Then comes a grand scrimnage to
 do up the packages and send them by
 mail and express. All over the coun- try offices and railroad cars and
 teams are suddenly swamped by ssv-Y eral times their usual business, The. employees work many hours over
 time, under conditions of strain and
 worry. They look forward to Christ
 mas as the most unhappy time of the year.
 We don't give any too much for
 Christmas, only we give injudicicusiy.
 The purchase of Christmas gifts on
 the part of those who have any money
 ahead, should be made all throu9h
 the year as one sees suitable articles Or at least it should begin early in December and should be concluded 8 week or two before the holiday. Packages should be got of at Lnus time by mail and express. Then the last week might well be l left to people who are hard up for money and can't anticipate their wants. If the strain could be distrfh-
 uted in this way. the occasion would l impose no great hardship on anyones and a great deal of happiness would | be given.

Young men seldom realize they are responsible to a great extent for the safety and freedom from cen sure of the girls in their charge. and they should never invite them to take part in any adventure that might cause anxiety to their parents or bring criticism to the girls.

Dance of the Serpentines.

The dance of the serpentines will be one of the features at the mid week dance at the Colonial ball room in Fairfield avenue, Thursday even ing, and the Ferdinando Bros Uke- lele orchestra, will furnish the music. This is a combination which is hard to beat, and, should appeal to the hundreds of young people of Bridge port who like dancing to good music and with novelties interspersed. The Ferdinandos have been here before and are quite popular. Their spec ialty is the use of a number of very unusual instruments, but the quality of the music is strictly high class. They will play for a short concert, and for long evening of dancing. At Ii o'clock the serpentines will be in troduced. You are cordially invited to be member of the large party to attend, assured of cordial well come and good time.

CAMP FIRE GIRLS
 AND CHRISTMAS

Christmas will be very different this year from Christmas a year ago, but the hundred thousand Camp Fire Girls throughout the Unite States have resolved that there is one Christmas custom that will not be omitted There will be fewer Christmas trees, and perhaps the presents at home will be simpler. Or perhaps there will be no presents at home, but in many in- stances all the home presents have been packed in a box already and di- rected to somewhere in France
 But many Camp Fires throughout the country will repeat their per- formances of year ago, and poor children and needy old men and wo- men will be glad that Give Service is ane of the most Fundamental rules of Camp Fire.
 Every year the Camp Fire Girls sew and make useful presents, knit, dress dolls, and make .scrap-books and save their money to gladden. the hearts of poor little children and hos pital patients. They are knitting es- pecially hard this year for the Red Cross as well as Christmas. Camp Fire Girls are saving sugar, so there will be less candy purchased with the savings, or made at home this year, but they will see to it just the same that Christmas is Christmas'' in many poor homes.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
WEST END.


 An item of special note in the Billie Burke Paramount picture, '"The Mys- terious Miss Terry" which is coming to the West End theatre today, is the fact that Billie will be supported by Thomas Meighan, in the principal male role. MT. Meighan recently ap- peared with Pauline Frederick in many of that stars best known pie lures, principal of which was 'Sapho." He has gained wide fol- lowing and is considered especially suited to the part to which he has been assigned in 'The Mysterious Miss Terry" Don't miss Billie Burke in this fascinating picture at the West End theatre on State street, near Clinton avenue, today and tomorrow, matinee and night.

 Written by Frank orth, and with the musical direction of Dom Trave1ino, there Is action, pep and a pot-pourri of comedy. style and dancing throughout. A cast of 25 people, seen last night on the Poli stage, add zest throughout fourteen of the latest musical hits from the comic and TO- mantle to the patriotic closing num- Der. The costumes as advertised ap- pear to be from the most eminent de- signers in America.
 From the opening curtain, through the four scenes taken from places of national repute, there is laughter forced by the comic antics and clev- CT sayings of Kellum, who scored a monster hit with audiences yester- day. Miss O'Dare a dimfnutive specimen of live-wire womanhooc, leads her cast in song and cuteness. A chorus of little girls harmonize without the orchestra. and in ensem,- ble and single number the singers score because of their versatile abii- fly and direction.

PLAZA

''The Uneeda Giris'' headed the Plaza's program yesterday and we have not seen prettier or more shapely group of choristers, as we show critics choose to term show girls, in many a moon. There were seven of them, each arrayed in cos tumes of silk and satin of every im- aginable hue and design and they certainly looked fascinating when they danced to the footlights to go through a new number. A very clever comedian and a good straight" worked out some admirably comedy situations and kept the laughs com ing at a lively clip. The idea was somewhat different from that used in the average musical eomedietta.
 Gilmore and Castle had 8 piano, singing and dancing diversion that scored heavily with the fun seekers in yesterdays crowds while Keane and Williams had little difficulty in registering a hit in their "rube" comedy slxit.
 Ad1on and company did a juggling act. Adlon,. may 1t be justly said, is one of the funniest jugglers we have ever seen and he has a great line of ''traps'' that he uses for laughs eff fectively. He ts assisted by a clever young fe1leN. The act was worthy of added feature position.
 The sixth and last episode of the ereat war series, ''The Germans Re- treat at the Battle of Arras," proved q most sxciting and educating attrac- 4fnH s1f rraa hh SfIv f1rn haaf ay1ianda d of the entire series.
