BY SISTER MARY

The, party part" OF a nah jo,.Gg
party might we'll be of Chinese Dish
es. Whether the affais be elaborate
or simple in its appointments the
oriental delicacies will be novel and
delicious.
While much local color might be
gained by the use of chop sticks
these are perhaps too much of a
good thing and detract rather than
add to the repast.
Most of the ingredients used can
be obtained from a large fancy gro
GER. Others can be found in the
Chinese quarter of fair-sizcd city
or a Chinese restaurant.
A few dried mushrooms will go
long way, for they swell to twice
their size as purchased. They
should be soaked in cold water.
A Chinese meal begins with the
sweets and finishes with the soup
This offers q suggestion for the hos
tess who would have her party out
of the ordinary.
The true Chinese table is loaded
with the food and each guest helps
himself. For the madlcss woman
this is aVothcr igca worth consid-
cring.

Relief Work. Simple Gifts Make Little Folks Happy

A letter to Mrs. Alfred ZuGcr of
this city from Mrs. Alma Kerr, form
er Burleigh County teacher, who
is now at Beirut, Syria, doing relief
work there describes the manner in
which Christmas was observed at
that place.
Friends of Mrs. Kerr will be sorry
to learn that she has contracted
trachoma and has had difficult
time in getting rid of it during the
past summer and winter. Quoting
from her letter she says: 81 am
finally cured or practically so al
though its safe to continue the mild
cr treatment for some time. The
treatment is very painful. Eighty
per cent Of our children have it, so
we have to be so careful. We have
recently had % children operated on
the lids for it and found that all
but one is successful. 1t is an inter
esting operation. The tissue Of the
lid is cut loose and underneath it
the growth Of trachoma is cut off,
which is something like long
sponge. The tissue is sewed on
again and in a few days the band
age is removed, the wound healed.
Our Christmas was wonderful. 1t
did not seem to cost US Il great deal.
Some Of the things for the older
children had been purchased but the
majority of things came from home.
On Christmas Eve we had Morse
supper of rice and milk, and then
we brought all the children, to the
largest room and gave sort of Can
tata or musical thing with beautiful
tableaux Of scenes depicting the
birth Of Christ The dressings or
gowns of each were real, for the
garments have changed little in Beth
lehem and we copied those, and also
the one Of the Shepherds as they
wander about here. I think it was
one Of the most beautiful things l
have ever seen. Our baby orphan
was the Christ Child and since he is
fair and beautiful now, he did look
divine.
I'VE had our large hall filled with
posters and cypress twigs, with red
bells as borders. 1t all looked so
gay. We had an audience of over
thousand and had to turn away all
of our workers and villagers who
came to see it, because we hao no
room. On Christmas morning we
had our Christmas tree at the house;
we gave and received a lot of pre-
sents from the other personnel.
"At ten, Christmas morning, we
had the tree for the shut-ins at the
hospital. 1t was wonderful to see
their happiness. They had helped
decorate it themselves. We had it
in the hall and brought out all the
patients, some on their beds, others
on benches and few on the floor
on blankets. We gave each one a
bright colored candle and you could
just see their faces heaming with
Joy, as they lit them. We brought
