 This next letter comes from one who received a Xmas box of the many the local chapter sent to fill a void made by some delinquents of the Pacific Division. We speak of it for the reason that half-heartedly we thought over the project of filling more but this letter compensates for that extra half day of strenuous ac- tivity:

 1. < :. !. Pleasant Dance at Normal.
 Nothing spurs us on to further ef- fort quite so much as success.
 The hosts of the delightful dance at the Normal, the Messrs Harold Blome, Joe Rickel and Clarence Pulliam, wished to prove that the former dance was but curtain raiser to the one of New Years Eve. And truly their guests on Tuesday were most royalty entertained.
 The decorations were in keeping with the New Year for at the witching hour of twelve the dancers paused and gave greetings to 1918, which was flashed by tiny electric lights and pro- claimed the New Year. About forty couple were entertained by these very good hosts and the patrons on this occasion were Dr. and Mrs. R. H. H. Blome.
