Not simply jazz music, but jazz ev-
erything. Education means to lead
out, to strive for achievement, to pre-
pare for usefulness, to advance the
interests of humankind, to do some
thing for Others. That is a work
in which is found real pleasure. Jazz
life is simply transitory and unsatis-
factory.
1t is necessary that human beings
of all animal creation be educated.
An animal scampers around soon
after it is born. A child is lost with
out help Therefore the child must
be trained, and after it is able to
think the fact must be impressed that
we are not living alone but for each
other. 1t is doing something for
others that makes the sum bonum
of life-giving something to the
world worth while. The more we
lose self the more useful we become
in life.
AS key to the present tendencies
indicated by Justice Brandies, Mr..
Fonville said that the nineteenth
century had given us the motor car,
the telephone and phonograph, the
movie pictures and the radio tele-
| phone, but where are such men as
Milton, Carlyle, Homer, Vergil,
Dante?
The richest heritage of child is
it's physical and mental birthright,
and with these things the greatest
| in the world is to be real man or
woman. 1t takes lifetime to be-
come Roosevelt, a Caruso, Sid
ney Lanier, but when we are making
an honest effort we are living for
others and filling our station in life.
Stand steadfastly by that which
is right.

The Agoga Glass Wants 100 New

You know most men love to go to
Sunday School and will go if asked
and an interest taken in them. The
AGOGA Glass of the Baptist Sunday
School is growing-all are working
and taking an interest-new mem
bers Join the class every Sunday. The
class is now preparing to move to a
larger room or make their own larger
at least, something has to be done,
and the Agogas are going to do it.
But what's the secret? 1t is Keep
Everlastingly at It"-you're not an
Agoga unless you do, because the
word means "get another man," and
it's up to every Agoga to get one. We
have a good, wide-awake, growing
class, and let's get the good work go
ing. If you know of anyone who
ought to be in the class tell him and
then give his name to any of the Of
ficers in the class and he'll be waited
on Immediately. To those who do
not belong to any Sunday school
class let me say the Agoga Glass ex-

were very late coming back to
town, largely on account of the
belated recess of Congress, and
it was freely prophesied that,
with Mrs. Harding ill, the
season would be dull. But, no,
within the last few weeks
things have picked up amazing,

whirl of gayety and there is
every prospect that with the
winters festivities a new and
brilliant chapter will be written
into the social history of Wash

four big state receptions. the
diplomatic reception being the
first function Of the sort held at
the White House since before the
war. Among them were sand

diplomatic dinner and the dinners

numerous "encores" in the shape
Of dinners or luncheons for visit

This year, of course, the White
House will play no part in the
seasons social activities. Mrs.
Harding's progress toward re-
covery is continuous. and in the
last few weeks she has made
such strides that her friends and
physicians are highly elated.
But the powers that be have alb.
solutely forbidden any participa-
ton in the winters activities
and have vetoed any entertaining
at the White House which might
conceivably fret a hostess and
homemaker unable to personally
supervise the running of her
household.

MRS. DUNLOP Is so jolly and
AVA such fun. But she chaperones
her young daughter. Katherine
Dunlop, notice with approval,
although Katherine is a charming
child. She and Delphine Heyl and
Stanley Hawkes. were having such
an amusing time together during
supper-such a good supper. too,
of sausages and scrambled eggs
telling jokes, apparently. Stanley
Hawkes. and Delphine Heyl are
having an amusing filtration lately,

looked very well that night in a
very straight, tight frock of gray
ish blue, soft silk crepe. The skirt
was so tight II had to be slit up
one side from the angle-length hem
to the knee and filled in with ac-
Gordon pleated white chiffon. The
bottom Of the skirt and the back
of the high neck line were edged
with wide bands of gray fox fur.
Peggy Mann. who buys all of her
clothes abroad, had on a striking
gown. too. 1t was of heavy cloth
of silver. very plain. The bodice
was cut low, but veiled with lovely
thin real black lace that was cut
with the bateau neck and sleeve
less. The skirt was draped tight
around the figure and tied into a
large bow over the left hip. Ce-
celia McCallum was there, but she
looked rather tired, thought; too
much wedding preparations. I i'm.

evening.
Frederica McKenney had on an
unusual gown, but then her gowns
are always striking and very
charming. This one was Of dark
blue velvet made with a darted

bodice. The skirt was of dia.

ing the ground in the back. The
skirt was covered with ruffles
about four inches wide. On her
arm hung a dark blue enameled
vanity case, rather large and
round.
Virginia McKenney was in white
but about her shoulders was a
magnificent Spanish shawl; huge
rose. yellow and green flowers on a
black background. Louisa Hoar
had on a similar shawl at the Chill
dren's Country Home ball the next
evening. 1t covered an unusual
red velvet costume-she always
dresses extremely we'll, too-made
with draped skirt that barely
escaped the ground on each side
but was extremely short back and
front. Katherine Sutherland has
a gown that sweeps the ground
on the sides but is knee length
back and front; Is full, gathered
and the hem cut in big scallops,
as 1t were, just the two big
scallops. Bertha Cantacuzene who
was at the Charity ball Tuesday
and later went to the dance which
Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Edwards
gave for Virginia. had on a black
lace gown and a wide red scarf
about her shoulders, she wore it
the scarf, l mean-all evening.
THE Edwards party was one of
the very jolliest of the winter:
! never saw Rauscher's prettier.
In addition to the usual Rauscher
Christmas decorations, there were
palms and ferns with red roses
and poinsettias all about. Then,
the music was so good; and after
supper-such an elaborate and
delicious supper too-the lie Par.

such pep! Such dancing! Such
applauding and even singing.

end Of the evening burst into song

And such dancing! III we
saw such abandoned dancing
on the vaudeville stage we'd
call it "tough" and think of
It as ridiculous and overdrawn.
No one in a ballroom would

And yet you should see them,
well-born and well-bred young
people, and not only at private
parties but at such big charity
balls as the Children's Coun-
try Home ball on Tuesday eve
ming. Why they actually draw
crowds who stand around to
watch them!
l wonder how they learn to
shiver and shake and hop about

the ones who are so very crude

parently don't know any better
indeed, they're the only ones lin

that when such very young girls
were going about to parties their
mothers would go along to keep an
eye on them. feel terribly Sc
riously about the matter. 1t seems
q crying shame that mothers don't
chaperone their daughters more
closely. Most of the girls don't
seem to be chaperoned at all. And
many of them certainly need it!
CAPT. AND MRS. LUKE Nc
NAMEE had delightful
.oung peoples party on Christmas
light at the Chevy Chase Club,
.hich, by the way, never looked so
city as in its Christmas decora-
,ns. The big tree was in one
G ,rner instead Of in the middle of
the floor, where 1t used always to
be placed, and this left more room
for the dancing.
There were scarcely a dozen Of
Capt. and Mrs. McNamee's friends
there, all children and debutantes,
as the party was given for their
nieces, the little Ainsa twins, who
are still in school. But the girls
were so pretty, and I've seldom
seen more lovely gowns.
Mrs. Wilfred DuPuy, one Of the
few grown.ups, had on an exquisite
gown-she has such pretty clothes
of white silk net over white
satin. The net was cut in a panel
tunic effect, edged with an inch
wide band Of sequins Of various
shades of rose and blue and other
tints blended together. The. same
trimming was used here and there
on the bodice. At another of the

berry colored net over peacock
blue or green-whichever you chose
to call it-with draperies OF black
lace. The bodice was cut low back
and front and held with two mar
row black velvet straps. I notice
more deep decolletes lately than
for some time. though the bateau
neck line is still fashionable and
popular. Enid Sims had on a black
velvet frock on Monday night that
was cut in a narrow point In the
back almost to the waIstline.
White velvet seems to be popu.
lar, too, and Mrs. McNamee and
Mrs. Emory Land both wore white
velvet that evening. I've seldom
seen Mrs. Land look prettier. An
other very strikingly pretty per.
son is Mrs. Emory Sands. She
had on black velvet and was lovely,
surrounded by men all evening.

OUTSIDERS BUY
HOOSLER FARMS
Records Show Indiana Folk

Indiana farms apparently are more at
tractive to people Of Illinois than they
are to the residents of Indiana. Judging
oy farm sales recorded last year.
Conversely, Indianians, seeking farms
IN other States, showed a decided prefer
once for the farms OF Michigan over
hose OF any other State
Nevertheless, the records show an in
cfeasing demand for Indiana farm homes
in 1921 as compared with the previous
year.
= These differences are drawn from a re-
port just issued by the f. A. Stout Farm
Agency, Inc, which sold forty eight In
diana farms last year and a total
throughout the country OF 5114 with a
total value of SO, 1000, 900.
Twenty-six of the buyers Of Indiana
farms reported by the agency last year
came from Illinois, while eleven Indi-
anians are recorded as having purchased
farms In Nheir home State. Michigan,
Minnesota and Ohio furnished two buyers

Fifty residents Of Indiana purchased
