Every conceivable thing in the way of fancy work is shown. Mrs. Ramsey, assisted by Mrs. Abercromby. is in charge of this feature. The aprons are for every use. Bungalow aprons, fancy work aprons, nurse aprons and those for tho cook, the maid, in fact for any purpose. Then comes the bags, and who doesn't love convenient bags Here are handkerchief bags, work bags, laundry bags, dress bags, in fact of all descriptions. The fancy painted articles are lovely, too. Beau tiful trays, work baskets, wall pockets.
 The dolls will make any childs heart glad. There are also complete wardrobes for these dolls.
 Last, but not least, are the de- licious turkey dinners. These are each day being served from 11:30 to 2.30.
 Saturday will be children's day. Everything is being planned for the pleasure of the child. Aside from the Christmas tree, at 2:30 there will be featured a regular old fashioned candy pulling. All children are es- pecially invited to this party Satur- day afternoon.
 Mrs. Chaplin Hodges is general chairman and Mrs. c. E. Lewis treas urer of the affair, and assisted by Mrs. P. F. Davidson, Mrs. Robinson. Mrs. S. R.

Truly Painted Dolls?' What An Artist Calls
 Our Women

Ernest Linnekamp, Viennese ar- lists, was hardly tactful in his use of the descriptive term painted dolls" with reference to majority or the women seen by him during tbe first few hours of his first visit to America. But every woman may wei ponder his statement of what, Tn his opinion, constitutes beautitul womanhood;
 "Women whose souls peep out Of their eyes, and whose faces are elo- quent of their temperament"
 Which, of course, is only another way of saying that beauty and per sonality are closely allied. And IL can not be denied that, not in America gonlv but in every land, multitudes of women are sadly lacking in personal jtv. with resultant i'll effects on their appearance.
 In earlier days there was ample reason for this. It was an almost m ievitable consequence of the unta- vorable position of women in the so- cial organism
 Women were then held in the strangely anomalous status of play thing and drudge. They were not ex- peeted to do any thinking for them l. selves outside the narrow range of household affairs.
 They were denied liberalizing, rersonality-e -enlargin education. Cur rent events and political develop ments, albeit perhaps affecting the welfare of women, were supposed to be of interest to the sterner sex alone.
 Women were handicapped and ham pered even in recreation. It was ac- counted highly improper for them to take part in vitalizing, energizing outdoor sports. Hence, they were to a large extent deprived of means to develop the vigor which is an impor- tant part in personality growth.
 But, as everybody knows, things are different nowadays.
 Women have equality of educational opportunity. If they choose to grasp if, They have equality of opportunity for recreation in the open. And, hav- ing been granted the franchise, 1t is as much their duty as their opportu- nifty to be interested in social and governmental happenings.
 If they persist in using rouge and powder to achieve pseudo beauty that Is distinctly inferior to the beau. ty born of ardent feeling, alert think ing, and hygienic living they beyond question are more blamew orthy than in the past. And they may rest as sured there will be an increasing number of Linnenkamps to stigmat ize their folly.
 Beauty, real beauty, always comes from within. never from without II is product and a sign of a soul in tine activity Fl. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
