A child in apparent good health will sometimes awaken from a sound sleep with a shriek or scream. On being reassured. he will usually go to sleep again. Fantastic dreams may startled an overima ginative child into frightened wakefulness. He sees animals and other objects in the room. If lurid tales are read to him at bed time. or he is entertained at this

Raggedy Andy and Betsy Bonnet String just laughed and laughed at the way they had bumped into the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker, who were standing right in under the invisible slippery slide in the deer deep woods. For you see, the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker were hunting Betsy Bonnet String so that they could make her shake her magic apron and give them a thou sand cream puffs and a thousand doughnuts.
 And when they were bumped, tho bottle imp and the Geewhiliker rar homo so fast the, forgot to look be hind them to SC, what it was tha bumped them.

NIGHTGOWN FROM TWO SQUARES
 SILK

It is SO easy that it will inspire anyone who loves to work with her needle. to sit right down and make one before the evening has passed into night.
 On the shoulders there are two square medallions of filet lace edged With simple little filet edging. To the points of two squares of silk. one for the front and one for the back. As the silk meets the medal lions 1t is held into little pleats until straight neckline Is left. Then, as the material falls away from the arms it is edged again wite she filet lace and under the arms the back and front are sewed together in !, seam until the hem is reached
 You can carry out this same plan in linen or muslin or in little blocked dimity patterns. each one becoming more inexpensive as you go down the list. And if you don't altogether like the idea of lace or if it is too much bother to, do, you can have the edges hemstitched by machine. If on the other hand, you want to go to lots of bother, you can do the hemstitcn- ing by hand and have something very handsome as the result.

"One Trick a Day"
Changing n Button Into a Coin

Changing n Button Into a Coin
 Place a button In the palm of the left hand and put a coin between the second and third fingers of the right hand. Keep the right hand faced down and the left faced up, so that the button is exposed and tho coin hidden.
 Now, with quick motion, bring the left hand under the right, stop quick, and the impetus will cause the button to keep on it's course and 1t will fly up the sleeve. This motion necessitates a little practice.
 Now press the hands together. all lowing the coin to drop into the left hand, and after rubbing the hands to- gether a trifle you may expose the coin. saying that you have rubbed a button into a coin.
 To repeat. practice carefully the movement of causing the button to go up the sleeve, for it would cause ex- treme embarrassment to have the button drop upon the floor in the middle of the trick.

OUR BOOSTER SUCCESS

The officers and members of the
Fraternal Organizations of the
First Annual Frate.nal Alexan-
dria Fair desires to take adj
vantage of this opportunity to
express their sincere apprecia-
ton of the business and profess
ional men and women of AleXan-
dria and Washington whose gen.
erous assistance has made this,
our first Booster not only pos
sible, but a real success.
Members of the Fraternal AL
exandria Fair and their thou
sands of friends and well-wishers
are earnestly requested to help
us show our appreciation in 4
practical way by patronizing the
firms and individuals whose names
appear in this Booster and, in
do ing so, mention the Elks' Fra
ternal Booster.
In this, the first attempt Of the
Elks of Alexandria to stage a
really big get-together fraternal
affair, we have been extremely
gratifed at the willingness OF
the majority, both in and out
of the Fraternal Fair, to extend
us their hearty cooperation and
support. 1t proves beyond any
doubt that a spirit of "inter-fra-
ternal good fellowship" is rapid
ly and surely finding its way TO
the hearts of the American peo-
pie.

HISTORY OF ELKS

The Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks is 4 cornwall, char
table and benevolent organiZa-
ton, formed by members of the
theatrical profession in New York
in 1868, but now admitting to
membership men Of other pro-
LESSONS and occupations.
The order has one grand lodge.
and over 400 subordinate lodges
throughout the country the men,
bership in 1922 was over $780,
600.
Alexandria Lodge Of Elks No.
1853 was organized February 9,
1902, with a charter membership
of fifty. The first meetings were
held on the third floor of the
building 112 So. Fairfax street.
Later the building at the South
east corner of Prince and Royal
streets was purchased, and Oc-
cupied until 1909, when the large
and commodiOus building at 3lS-
800 Prince street was erected,
and since that time has been
utilized for lodge purposes. The
progress of this lodge has been
very great as can easily be seen
in the increase Of membership
which has now reached 4S9.
The marked social activities OF
the Elks of this city may also
be mentioned as well as the many
charitable deeds done by their
loyal members.
