Friendly Meets for
jolly Time
Last Saturday evening found rs
friendly spirits gathered in the Elks
hall to celebrate the conclusion Of the
fall work which has been so success
fully carried on. The associate mem
bers, including Mrs. Becker, Mrs. Pol
lock, Mrs. Lusk, Mrs. Isham and Mrs.
Brown, had well planned their enter
tainment.
The first hours were given over to
the little tots and their friends who
played a number of delicious games
under the leadership of Mrs. Brown
and Miss Ardelle Switzer. The later
part of the evening was given over
to the entertainment committee of the
society with Miss Mabel Hall as chair
man. Her ukelele selections were
poppy and found warm welcome to
the audiences heart. Miss Dorothy
Griffith's stories were more charming
than usual while no program is COM
plete in these busy days without some
time given over to the Christmas
carols.
A delicious little repast was served
the seventy-five guests and the Girls
Friendly have even a more friendly
feeling towards their sponsors, the as

mas spirit was in evidence in the
"glad to be here" feeling that every
one possessed. The hostess, Mrs. ].
c. Kelly had made the house festive
with Christmas greens and the shaded
lights together with the pretty Christ
mas tree left nothing to be desired.
Business was first disposed of by
the chairman. Roll call by the secre-
tary brought forth many newsy items
Of the musical world; the minutes re-
vealed all bills paid and a small
amount in the treasury. Mrs. ]. C.
Clarke made a most entertaining re-
port about the recent musical pro-
gram given by the department at the
Orpheum.
Over eighty dollars had been cleared
and this on a motion by Mrs. Charlie
bois was donated to the building fund.
Mrs. Jackson, as member of the
music department, felt quite gratified
that the section had made such SUBJ
stantial gift to the fund for the new
club house which is now an assured
fact since the purchase of the lots.
Mrs. Miller had the program for the
afternoon in charge and everyone
voted it one of the very best programs
of the year. The topic, christmas
Music" was taken up. Mrs. Ives read
a most interesting paper on the Com
,munity Christmas and its inception.
Mrs. Mitchell told of various Christ
mas carols and later Mrs. Miller and
Mrs. Mitchell sang charmingly not
only some old favorites, but gave in
terpretations of them from the stand
point Of the various nations. Mrs.
Miller then told of the Messiah" and
its wonderful composer, Handel. Mrs.
U. j. Lewis sang wonderful con-
tralto solo from it which was unu-
sually well suited to her voice. Mrs.
Pierson and Mrs. Miller sang a clos
ing number and the social hour was
given over to Mrs. Kelly, the hostess,
who in true Santa Claus style dis
tributed gifts to each present. My,
how proud the little folks were with
their guns, dolls, mechanical toys and
musical instruments.
Little bags of candy made it seem
a real Christmas affair and when the
carols sounded forth the afternoon
was complete.
The practice for the big community
tree celebration concluded the after
noon.

The Ever Blessed Season
Once each year we stop long enough
to remember that years ago the peace
that heralded the Savior's birth lay
over the earth.
Sometimes in the hurry Of our ma
terialistic life we forget the message
such an event brought, but the COM
munity spirit fostered by Flagstaff's
first big gathering will perhaps help
US more than ever this year to bring
about the spirit and the letter such a
season should cultivate in each and
every one.
Come out Sunday night at six
o'clock and help with your voice to
swell the mighty chorus that will be
sung. Everyone will be there and
the carols should go with a vim.
Don't forget your Christmas candle
on Saturday evening. Put it in the
window for the Camp Fire Girls will
see it and they will carol for you on
that night.
The churches are all planning to
celebrate the Christmas season.
Social Service
The circle of social service workers
met on Tuesday at the home Of Mrs.
Ed Rabbit and completed their busy
for the work which has
so occupied their minds for the last
few months since deciding to help all
those so in need of it.
A goodly number of things now
await distribution, thanks to the eff
forts of those interested and the final
will shortly be made.
Food, clothing and toys were gladly
and generously donated and all will
have pleasanter feeling when the
Christmas morn is ushered in.
