REDUCTION OF GERMAN
INDEMNITY NOT FAVORED

BRUSSELS, July 19.-tBy The
Assoc iated Press.) The Belgian
delegate to the PREPARATIONS commits
sion is absolutely opposed to the
proposed reduction of the Germany
indemnity to 5O,000,000 gold marks,

April II, 1875 ard the Alpha Chi One
ga sorority installed the last chapter here
OF August 20, of this year. o..
For fourteen years after the installa-
ton of It's chapter here the Kappa Kappa
Cammas were the only sorority repre-
scnted on the campus. In 1899, Pi Beta
Phi installed its chapter, the second sor-
ority to make its appearance. Again
there was lapse of activity on the part
of the Greeks. for ten years this time.
On February u, 1909 the Kappa Alpha
Theta sorority founded a chapter fol-
lowed two months later by the installa-
tion of a chapter of Delta Gamma Al
most a year elapsed before the chapter
of Alpha Phi was installed on March

complexion OR bringing out the color Of
the eyes. These facings should be Sc
Iecied only after careful consideration Of
the hair, eyes and complexion.
As rule, hats that turn up all the
way around are hard to wear as also is
the hat which extends far beyond the
nose line. Perhaps the easiest type Of
hat is the soft sport hat which can be
pressed and bent into becoming shape
for almost any face. IL the face is mar
row, irregular lines widen it. A popu-
lar hat nowadays is the one made Of
two-toned materials. Height is given
when the shiny dark materials make up
the crown but height is decreased if the
lustreless tone is used for the crown.
There are decided advantages in be-
ing able to make hats. Then, one can
determine after careful study the colors
to use, the lines most becoming, the
materials most effective in obtaining the
result wanted. The home economics
department offers course in millinery
in which just such necessary things con-
cerning hats are taught and the girls re-
ceiye practical experience in making
their own hats. Miss Florence Cation,
instructor in clothing, who has charge
of the class says the class is one of the
few classes in the University which is
given every term and is always full.

Out of a total enrolment Of l,08l
girls in the University 399, or less than
one-fourth, are affiliated with one Of
these sororities.
A survey shows that it is somewhat
cheaper for a girl TO live in sorority
house than in the average boarding
house. The average board paid to the
commissary of the sorority house is $40,
the lowest board paid being $50 and the
most expensive $50.

Rosaries from Churches of All
Lands in Mitchell Collection
Hand-Carved Furniture, Quaint Embroideries Bas-
kets, Jewelry Add Charm to Columbias Home

The other room of the apartment, Miss
Mitchell's bedroom, contains a splendid
old mahogany four post bed, highboy and
candle table. Behind the bed is badly
worn Chinese shade with the blue back.
ground soiled and torn and the proud
gold peacocks tamished and ripped by
the hundred Of years Of wear.
Ii is in this room that Miss Micbell
keeps her real treasures, collections of
unique jewelry. There is a handsome
scarab ring, set in carved silver and pur-
chased by the owner in India and a
brooch with the scarab set in the sacred
wings of Isis. There are many other
lovely and unusual necklaces but prob
ably the most interesting is necklace
taken from the throat of a mummy.
Strung at intervals on slender cord are
little blue lotus flowers carved from the
turquoise bead with tiny yellow centers.
Miss Mitchell has a splendid collec-
tion of rosaries and has purchased one
from almost every prominent church oi
Europe besides others from Egypt an
Jerusalem.
A Russian Greek rosary purchased by
Miss Mitchell on the Mount of Olives
from Russian nun, has its beads carved
from the bones of the wild camels that
live nthe mountains of Palestine. The
Ave Maras" are put in with opalescent
stones. The Mohammedan rosary from
Egypt is of long, oval amber beads with
smaller beads put in for the 'Allahs.'
The Mohammedan at certain intervals
offers up praises to the greatness of Al
lah and to Mohammed. From the church
of The Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem
Miss Mitchell has brought back rosary
blessed by the Patriarch of the city on
the altar of the Holy Sepulchre. Later
this same rosary with beads composed Of
small shells was blessed by Pope Plus
at Rome.
There are other rosaries from other
prominent churches of Europe.
There is one from the church that
Christopher Columbus was buried in
and another carved from Olive seeds
brought from Athens and blessed by
Pope Leo. From Russia there is one that
bears a tiny lean Of the patron saint Of
the Russian soldier.
All of the valuable possessions of Miss
Mitchell are not here in town as many
are kept at Forest Home, her country
place. She is much interested in her
treasures and each one is of especial
value for the memory in conjures back
again.

BRIGHT TRINKETS AND
TINY LIGHTS GALORE
FOR CHRISTMAS TREE

Columbia does not need to go faI
afield for its Christmas trees. The most
Of those sold here are grown in Boone
County. They are cut by the farmers on
whose land they grow, brought to town
and sold by merchants on commission
All of the home trees are cedars. They
range from 8 to 8 feet in height, and
from 25 cents to $3.50 in price. Pine
trees. somewhat more expensive, are
shipped in by several firms.
Holly and mistletoe do not grow here.
Some Of il that will be for sale later in
the month will come from the swampy
land of Mississippi, some from Oklahoma
and Texas.
Electric decorations for the tree, if il
must be lighted, are the safest kind. A
string with eight lights, red blue, green,
orange, and white, is 81. Electric
clowns, flowers. apples, oranges, blue
birds, and owls are so cents apiece
Electric candles to be attached to a
string are IS cents each.
Down town stores are ablaze with dec
orations for the Christmas tree. There
are shining birds with silver wings for
10 cents; little silver tinsel hearts for )
cents; shining balls, as light as soap
bubbles and almost as fragile for 5 and
10 cents; silver and gold tinsel, 2 yards
for S cents; an iridescent spire for the
top Of the tree and fat electric Santa
Clauses, as red as holly berries, Tor III
cents.
There are velvet poinsettias and holly
wreaths and bright red festooning, none
of which costs more than 10 cents.
There is Christmas snow, all that the
base Of the tree would need, for cents
a package. Then there are candles, IRON
little ones to fasten on the tree, at "a
for Is cents, to larger ones in green,
pink, white, red, yellow, purple or white
at 10 cents each.

pinning the tail on the donkey. The
supplies for the latter come in a large
envelope, featuring lively-looking dom
key on its cover, for Is cents.
For industrious little girls there are
all sorts Of boxes that contain squares
of cardboard with perforated designs,
and bits of linen with printed pictures
just waiting TO be worked in the various
colored yarns which accompany them.
There is, too, the knitting spool outfit
which is easy to use and which makes
many different kinds of long knitted
strands.
One box is filled with especial de-
lights to the heart of one who loves tiny
things. In miniature form are models of
a complete and modern city house, a
country one as well, a roomy-looking
garage, a church, a school, and even
the small. servants bungalow.
Two tiny dolls are the possessors of
all these places. They are also furn-
ished with tall green fence with pretty
gates, while for their summer use, fhey
have a green table and set of chairs for
the back garden, for which four life
like trees are supplied.

MADONNA PRINTS AS GIFTS
Copies Of Old Masters Make Ae.
ceptable Holiday Offerings

There is something about a picture
as Christmas gift that makes it espe-
cially appropriate. 1t seems TO reflec:
little of the giver's artistic soul, and
to breathe a blessing on the receiver
throughout the year. Columbians have
an especially wide choice of pictures
from which to choose, as most Of the
real artists are represented in the col
lections found in Columbia stores.
More suggestive than all others for
the Christmas season are the Madonna
pictures and large number are pro-
curable in local shops. There is Fer
uzi's Madonna. Raphaels Sistine Ma
donna, Nathaniel Sichels Madonna, Bo-
denhauser's Madonna and the Child,
Czech's Madonna, and Hofman's Christ
in Cethsemane, all of which are good.
Then there are the older pictures, very
good prints Of which are procurable here.
Many persons like those that are better
known, such as Millet's Song Of the
Lark. The Angelus, and The Cleaners.
Maxfield Parrish's prints, too, are al
ways choice gifts. Whistler's Mother is
a favorite with all, whether mother is
with them or far away. Corot's prints.
Spring, Dance of the Nympths. May
Dance, and Castle Gondolfa are popu-
lar pictures.
The more recent pictures are also
choice gifts to those who love real art.
Wallace Nutting's pictures are pleasing
in any room in the house. Charles l..
Nutting's scenes are refreshing to every
weary eye. Equally nice are the Rus
kin prints, the English prints, and many
nonuIsr etchinps

$ SILVER SERVICES POPULAR
Platters, Trays, Candlesticks Tt
Match Knives and Forks.

Silver is again coming into its own as
dining table service, according to the
local jewelry merchants. They are dis
playing mere silver service in their win
dows now than has been shown for sew
eral years. The movement toward all
the styles of the Colonial days may be
the reason.
For the last few years purchasers have
wanted a complete dinner set of china
ware, including beside cups and saucers
large meat platters, bread containers and
the like. Now they are demanding only
few Of these pieces, the ones that it
is almost necessity to make from
china, and the rest are supplied from
silver Of the sterling quality or plated
ware. Platters, bread trays, cream and
sugar sets, knives and forks, and even
candlesticks are supplied from the same
patterns. 1t may be that silver will again
be used on the dining table as it was in
the Puritan days, when quality was al.
most a waich.word.
However silver, if it is Of the better
quality, is rather expensive, and it re-
quires great deal more care to keep it
looking nice than does china. So with
the high cost of living, and the scarce
ness Of dependable servants to be con-
sidered, it may be that silver dining serv-
ice today is more of fad than a fancy
and will soon be included with the passe
again.

Many a confirmed globe trater returns
home with trunks overflowing with ut
terly useless souvenirs Of the trip bui
Miss Pearle Mitchell of Columbia ha:
succeeded in accumulating during the
course Of her travels, articles that com
bine the useful with the ornamental. HeI
apartment at 800 Rollins is a treasure
chest Of highly priced memoirs that fiji
in exceedingly well with the other furn-
ishings.
On a handcarved table of cherry
wood, covered with an old Chinese scarf
of silk, is her bookstand inlaid with
mother-of-pearl that once held in place
the leaves Of a Koran. There is also on
this table cardbox Of red Russian lac
quer with a gayly colored trika painted
on IFS lid and brass lamp purchased
from gypsies living in the mountains
near Granada Above the table hangs
small PLAGUE with the representation
Of the Nativity carved on its smooth
surface. The PLAGUE is carved out OF
mud from the Dead Sea that becomes as
hard and brittle as stone when dried.
Just a few inches from this there is an
exact replica of an old Pompeian fresco
unearthed from one of the homes of a
former patrician of the ruined city.
In another corner of the room is an
old fashioned what-not that has been in
Miss Mitchell's family for many years.
The narrow shelves contain clay water
bottle from the Red Sea, water basket
from India, and brass water jug used
in carrying the sacred waters of the Riv-
er Canges. The retainer for the water
is placed inside several layers of brass
and the top inverted, furnishes cup,
much as our modern thermos bottles do.
A rare walnut secretary, also a priced
possession of the family has for its COW
er a rug from Norway and for ornamen-
tation a pair of magnificent old brass
candlesticks.
Her chandelier is the most impressive
thing in the whole room, room into
which things seem fitted, not merely
placed. This chandelier was once an
altar lamp kept perpetually burning be-
fore the shrine of the Virgin Mary in an
old German church. Along one side Of
the wan is a long altar mirror with a
candIelabra on either side taken from
the same church and made Of the same
silver composition.
A doorway of the apartment is cover
ed with a Swedish worked curtain with
fine old pewter plates along the ledge
above and Chinese windbells swinging
between the drapes.

GAMES, OLD AND NEW,
READY TO BE HEAPED
IN SANTA CLAUS SACK

Pleasant pastime may be afforded the
kiddies on a cold afternoon with box
of picture blocks. About six blocks, on
each side Of which is part of Mother
Goose verse, come in box. Two en-
velopes contain pictures illustrating the
rhymes. Each picture is provided with
gum on one side so that it may be easily
pasted onto the block which has its cor.
responding verse. When finished, the
thirty-six pictures and verses make a
complete set of Mother Goose.
The old game Of throwing horseshoes
has a number of indoor limitations for
children. ''Bingo," for one, is fun. A
huge red face painted on cardboard,
with large hole cut out for the wide
open mouth back of which is a red
tongue of cloth, stands upright by means
of its paper back. Three discs, red,
blue, and yellow, are thrown from a
distance of five feet into Bingo's mouth.
Each time he swallows a disc the throw
er gets five points, and the one who is
the first to get fifty points, wins
the game. @Bingo" may be purchased
downtown for 80 cents.
A similar game is played with the
Indian target" which is the pasteboard
picture of an Indian, having two tall
pasteboard feathers adorning her head.
Two small rings made Of rope are thrown
by the players the attempt to lassoe
the feathers. Every time a feather is
caught by a ring the player gets five
points, and the first to gain thirty points
wins. This game may also be bought
for 80 cents.
Indoor fishing is a game that holds a
real appeal for the little boy. Five small
fish, along with pole, line, and a
hook, meet the requirements of this
indoor sport. The fish put into a deep
basin fwater should be 6shed for for
three minutes by each person according
to the rules of the game. Every time a
fish is hooked and landed, he is thrown
back Immediately. Whoever has caught
the largest number Of fish after each
fisherman has had three chances is the
winner of the game. All the necessitie:
for indoor fishing may be bought fol
Is cents.
There is a game Of chance, called
lotto" which sells for IS cents; an at
tractive checker-board. which conven
iently folds up in the middle, for 8;
cents, a pretty little box of dominoe'
which may be gotten for Is cents, and
Of course the ever-fascinating game Of
