Twentieth Century Entertains
The Twentieth Century club en-
tertained delightfully."- their husbands
and other guests ut their annual din
ner party at the Tip Top Inn last
evening. Covers We're laid for 81
guests and the tables We're very at
tractive with their decorations of
Callendulas and ferns. The new Tip
Top Inn had most pleasing appear
ance and the dinner hour was thor
oughly enjoyed by all. At its close
the party retired to the library where
the president, Mrs. +. NJ. Northcraft,
gave brief address Of welcome,
after which the following interesting
program on Characterization" was
given interspersed with appropriate
selections on the VictrOla: "Ameri-
canization," Mrs. Arnold, Fifth dis
trict president; Leberman's II Am an
American" Mrs. McAdams; 1.-THE
Immigrant the American Of TOmOr-
row," Mrs. Muench.
The special feature of the even
ing's entertainment was a review of
the Passion Play" given in each de-
cade by the peasants of the village
Of Oberamergan in Bavaria. This
review was given in a most interest
ing manner by Mr.. Nicholus of Clay
Center. Mr.. Nicholus has Travelled
very extensively in many. lands and
1t was his good fortune to be pres
ent at the last presentation Of the
play in 1910. This play had its be-
I'm the 18th century and has
been carried on through each sue
cessive generation in obedience to the
VOW to depict the life Of Christ once
in every ten years. This was made
impossible during 1920 by the war
but plans are now being made to
give the production in 1922. Some
Of the. most impressive scenes were
''The last visit to Bethany, "The
and the "scension."
Mr.. NichOlus' description made the
portrayal Of these scenes most vivid
and impressive.
The dinner Tuesday was also the
Of the twentieth anniver-
sary Of the club. The organiza ton
IS fortunate in still having in 1t three
charter members, Mrs. s. 8. Smith,
Mrs. II. p. Ackers and Mrs. p. II.
The committee in charge of
he entertainment was Mrs. A. r.
pautz, Mrs. G. w. Wheeler, Mrs. l.. o.
Verckler, Mrs. Ida Roney and Mrs.
Fred Muench. They proved them
elves charming hostesses and the
quests will remember the occasion
IS one of the most pleasant social
ffairs in the history of the club. The
nut Of town guests were Mr. and Mrs.
Sicholus Of Clay Center, Mr.. and
Irs. Arnold Of Chapman and Mrs.
'trother Of Chicago.

Pity the poor motor truck! 1t is
being un5ustly accused on every
hand. As destroyer Of roads 1t
doesn't rank "one, two, three" with
Incompetent engineers. Inadequate
drainage. Or total lack Of drainage,
causes the failure of more roads
than any other cause. If the same
care and attention were given to the
subsoil and its drainage as to the
visible parts Of the road, most Of the
annual spring road failtttes would
be avoided.

To secure clear view ahead
through the windshield glass in
rainy weather is vitality important
to safety. Many schemes are used
to keep the gass clear i'm west wealth
er, but perhaps the Old-fashioned al
cohol and glycerine mixture which
is carried in a small bottle and
rubbed on the glass as needed is
best. A bottle wrapped in cloth and
slowed in the side pocket is always
ready and the contents may be ap-
pied with the cloth.
Over half the trouble to which the
car owner is subjected is due to lack
of proper fabrication. OF course,
most owners have learned to use oil
in generous quantities in the engine
and the differential but are inclined
to sight other important parts such
as the steering gear and brake con-
nections.

| The Christmas
By MARY
I: TsF% GRAHAM
OO4 ~ BONNER,

~ AM a Christmas Card. l was
III born shortly before Christmas Of
1913. l was put away in a box
after Christmas and the ext year l
came forth again, and the price put
upon me had risen from two cents to
five.
The next year l cost ten cents. Still
l did not sell.
"Well have to charge a quarter for
that card" my owner said, "and get
UP the prices of some Of these others,
or they won't be bought"
So 1 was a quarter. And then /
cost 80 cents and was purchased.
The price mark has been left on me.
I've been travelling with 1t written on
my back ever since. Sometimes, too, ]
get around to a number of places
around Christmas time, especially If
I'm started off early in the first place.
SO far, too, I've been greeted with
Joy, and an exclamation 1 do not quite
understand.
"Oh, goodl Here's a card which is
marked fifty cents. Who would believe
it possible, but no matter, it did! And
it's not written on, either!"
1 do not understand their joy over
me, but they never keep me with
them!

A Good ModeIino Material.

1t is often very difficult to keep a
child confined to the house amused.
But with a modelling material with
which they can make animals, beads
etc, they can be kept amused for hours.
Take four tablespoonful cornstarch,
eight tablespoonfuls salt and eight
tablespoonfuls boiling water, Mix the
dry ingredients and pour on the boiling
water, stirring until the mixture is soft
Put on the fire and stir until it forms
a soft ball, then remove from the stove
and stir for ten minutes. A little color
may be added. Wrap in oiled paper
when not in use to keep from harden

MGHTGOWNS FOR The BRIDE
Exquisite Creations Have Not Sugges-
ton Of Lace or Hand Embroidery;
Drawn Thread Used.

Exquisite nightgowns for the fall
or hand embroidery but are orna-
mented with drawn thread patterns.
These beautiful gowns are made Of
finest handkerchief linen, than which
there is nothing more exclusive and
distinguished for undergarments just
now. And If you have ever slept in a
real linen nightie you know the
luxurious feel of it. Such nightgowns
for trousseaux have every stitch put
in by hand the hem is hand hem
stitched and at the top beautifully
done drawn-thread patterns define a
small yoke or make charming trim
ming motifs on front and sleeves. The
square neck opening and straight
sleeve edge are finished with hem
stitched hens through which ribbon
is drawn; or have drawn-thread bead
ings for ribbon. Sometimes a drawn
thread beading is run straight around
the gown, below the armhole line, and
is threaded with an inch wide ribbon,
giving a graceful Empire yoke effect.
Ribbons for lingerie must now be
of the handsomest quality, thick and
soft and satiny, whatever the width.
D%ouble-faced satin ribbons are pre-
ferred, and If wash-ribbon is used it
must he of beautiful quality. Law
ender ribbons are preferred just now
to pale pink or blue ones, and the rib
bons on most exclusive garments are
pure white.

Bell Ringing,
One of the Oldest
Christmas Customs
NpNT HAT would Christmas be with
VN1 out the melody of the bells

001 HAT would christmas De WITH
WN out the melody of the bells
ringing good will toward men?
Bell ringing is one of the oldest OF
Christmas customs. At m time, in
England, the ringers gave their serv-
ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as a matter of course, and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music of the bells in
Great Britain and. wherever churches
have peals of bells, is today as much
a feature of Christmas as the decora-
ton of church and home with ever
greens, or the provision of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an outcry there would be If
an edict were issued f%orbidding the
ringing of the bells during the coming
festive season! Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
in 1852 the wise men of parliament
gave orders that mo observation shall
be had Of the fve-and-twentieth day
OF DeceIuDeT, COluLlOuiy CdiiCu
mas day."
1t is quite certain that this edict
was disregarded in many places, while
in others it led to open rioting. At
Canterbury the mayor of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived of their
pleasures so easily, SO they took the
law into their own hands, broke the
mayors windows-and some of his
bones as well-and affirmed their in
tention of keeping their Christmas in
their own fashion, just as their fathers
had done before Them
