 The Walker'family held their Xmas celebration last Wednesday evening rn order that they might celebrate be- fore their son, Franklin, leaves for England. Mir. Walkers sister and son from Anahiem, Calif., are also here, so the affair was a most suc- cessful and happy one. In the evening number of friends were invited in to see the lovely tree and enjoy games, singing and plenty of appetizing refreshments.
 Franklin left Thursday morning for New York, where, in few days, he will sail for Oxford, England. School Programs.
 Emerson school closed yesterday with whoop and bang. My, but those youngsters seemed lively and in much need of quiet, restfal week at home! How pretty the trees looked. Each room had splendid program; the junior high school generously gave their donations to the downstairs grades, so this made a nice treat for the little kiddies.
 Miss Strange and Miss Anderson combined their forces and presented a play. The kindergarten had games and music; the first grade had recita- tions and songs, while the various grades of the junior high put on stunts and games.
 A great deal of hand work was made by the children for the season and was we'll worth showing to the many visitors that called. $++$
 New Teachers Entertain.
 We have heard of no more success ful entertainment during the holiday season than the party held last Satur- day night at the Roome home on Birch avenue. The new teachers, Miss Isa- belle Hougan, Miss Francis Strange, M,., n-l M.,, II nr nko bowman were hostesses, Miss Ellen Sanders being detained on account of illness. It was a children's party, pure and simple and if you could have seen those teachers, usually dignity personified, cavorting around like kid dies, am quite sure you would have been shocked beyond measure. Dear little boys with curls, sweet little maidens shy and reserved-all were represented. Then there was that beautiful Xmas tree! Oh, how they loved those presents-tops that could spin, hoops that could rool, whistles that could be heard blocks away. The loveliest part was the beautiful dining room, all in red and green, not even the Yule log omitted. The buffet supper was artistically arranged on the attractive table and each plate held a tiny Xmas candle. An old fashioned Virginia reel closed the ev- ening and the following report won- derful time: Mrs. Bertha Kennedy, Miss Emma Vandervort, Miss Lydia Akin, Miss Dessel Carson, Miss Flora Jensen, Miss Freda Johnson, Miss Rosemary Reinhold, Miss Lura Ken sey, Miss Katherine Kennedy, Miss Mable Milligan, Miss Mary Jane Lee dom, Miss Anna Roepke, Miss Flors ence Pancake, Miss Clara Davis and Mrs. Frank Noble.

 The Xmas Candle.
 "How far that little candle throws it's
 beam!
 So shines a good deed in naughty
 world"
 Will you have candle in your window Friday night? For many years cities have been trying to es- tablish this very pretty English GUS tim.
 We read an article recently which pertained to this Xmas candle and in it the statement was made that the whole town had responded and from each home shone out the little light. It is pretty conception and while we | | fz11 D,,N t< nv
