BUT ONCE A A

If you want to inspire your friends to extravaganza that
Is positively criminal, just murmur that old, christmas comes
but once a year." Along toward the end Of the Christmas
shopping season, when shoppers have reached that fevered
state where the sole object is to get something-anything-
for each member of that appalling list, this old saying gets
In its insidious work.
A great number of stores offer holiday goods at inflated
prices just because the loose, flabby generosity~of certain
thousands of good souls reacts at once to that vicious old
plea. christmas comes but once a year" To be sure it does.
So does Easter and Thanksgiving and st. Patrick's Day
and every other day in the calendar, without exception. Is
that any reason why an other wise wellbalanced woman
should buy a turkey for her family's dinner, when roast beef
is more than she can afford? Or is that any reason why she
should rush into stores with her list that seems to have grown
steadily longer. and pay $3.50 for a pair of wool gloves for her
son, when she should have found him an adequate pair for half
that amount9
the Christmas shoppers, especially the mothers who shop
There are the thousand wants Of the children, clamorously
insisted upon, and the money that is so inadequate to satisfy
half those wants. And stl further back of that haunted look
is the thought of Johns pay envelope, with all that it must
somehow cover, and with all that it means OF Johns never
ceasng struggle to provide. The heartache that belongs with
that haunted look, when poor dear old Johns pay envelope
can't stand the extra burden Of Christmas presents, doesn't
fit in with the Christmas idea, does It'll
"Peace on earth means peace in the human heart, first
Of all. What mother can have peace IN her heart II she knows
her Christmas dinner is a fearful extravaganza And who can
have peace in her heart if she has endless bills to pay In
January or February for Christmas gifts that the family
purse couldn't afford?
We mothers are the ones who must start the business
Of simplifying the wants of the family. Not a very pleasant
Job, is it? But neither is it pleasant to go to the dentist when
a bad tooth has gone too long. We can screw up courage
to the sticking point" however, when we know the tooth
has to come out sooner or later, and that the experience is more
painful the longer the evil day is postponed. We CAN walk
nm to our difficulty if we only WILL. And with courage we
are going to walk up and slay the demon OF temptauon tnat
Turks behind that easy going saying" Christmas comes pue
once a year" -

BERKELEY, CaL.-when Ellen
Cornish enters the University of
California next month at the age Of
IA, she will be the third member Of
her family to matriculate at that
precious age. One brother, Is, is
now q junior. The other. 10, grad
uated with honors last year. and is
a teaching fellow in chemistry at
the college.
None of the three attended gram
mar school. Each entered high
school at the age of 10, after recetv-
ing early schooling from the mother,
who during her teaching days, drew
her own conclusions regarding school
work.
"Any mother could do 1t II she
gave the time" says Mrs. Frank Y.
Cornish, the mother.
But too many mothers want to
60 to clubs and amusements.
Each child was given an individ-
ual method of training. In school.
they would all have had to read the
same things, whether interested or
not.
The age Of II is not too young
for university. The years to come
win see that age the rule. but teach
ing methods will have to change,
and there must be thorough training
in the fundamentals, with the con-
fusing nonessentials crowded out"

Refreshments consisting Of ice

dancing completed the evening
which everyone agreed was n OF
the best ever given by the club.
The last call for Christmas dona-
tons to the Woman's Clubs efforts
toward relieving distress and bring
ing Christmas cheer to several poor
families in town. is being made. Con-
trary to the general belief there are
some very needy and deserving fam
lilies in the town and this opportun-
ity to do good should not be missed
by anyone who can in any way re-
spond to it. The following things
will be especially a~cceptable: Food
of any kind, jellies, canned fruit,
clothing. toys or games, new or old,
or even money which will be used to
buy things to complete the baskets.
These will be distributed through a
well informed agency and all con-
tributors may be assured that their
gifts will be ~discretely placed. These
donations may be brought to the
next club meeting or to the home OF
Mrs. j. A. Apologize on John street.
The next meeting of the Woman's
Club will be held in City Hall, Thurs
day, Dec. FL, at $3.50 p. m. Miss
Woods, the local public health nurse.
Is to speak. The things she has to
say about her work in town, and
the conditions she finds, r well
worth hearing. 1t Is hoped that a
large number will find time, even in
this busy season to attend. An add
ed attraction to this meeting will be
the Christmas carols to be sung by
the very ambitious and capable
choral society. Let no club member
miss this rare treat.

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 16.-The
members and guests of the Woman's
Club were delightfully."- entertained
on Thursday night in the High
school auditorium, when the clubs
tenth birthday was fittingly cele-
trated.
The address of welcome was given
by the president, Mrs. j. A Apple
gate, who said, in part: That. as
row the club has attained its tenth
birthday, it Is time to cast off swad-
ding clothes and be-, and act, like a
grown-up, and to do big things"
She called on all members and
friends of the club for cooperation
and courage in trying, even in the
face of discouragemerts, to do what
needs doing. and to maintain n
high and unselfish ideals Of the club.
The recently formed Woman's
Club Choral Society made its initial
public appearance and amply justi-
fed its existence. Their opening
number, "Shubert's Serenade," was
beautifully rendered, and received
with much appreciation by the u
dience.
Following this number came a
charming sketch of two scenes from
Sheridan's school for Scandal"
given by Miss Louise Barr as Sir
Peter Teazle. aad Miss Claire Reed
as Lady Teazle.
The major part of the program
was filed in by the clever and YER
satile entertainers, Miss Ada Roach
and Miss Ruth Free of New York.
True to predictions, all remaining
care was banished by their songs,
stories, dances and performances on
musical instruments of various sorts,
and an otherwise dignifed audience
was literally abandoned to "howls
of mirth."
