 Almost everyone who attended the gathering in the parsonage of the Northern Light Presbyterian church wore kid" costume, The few who didn't had to wash dishes as a pen alty. A potluck dinner was served at 6:30 o'clock, the table decorated with red and green candles and Christmas candies. In a corner of the parsonage stood the tinselled tree. under which the gifts were stoyed for later disbursement. Games were played, and, after the party finishing touches were given the re- hahilitated toys which the Club is contributing to the Christmas of needy children of Gastineau chan- nel.

 of Tangled Loves

"Vagabond Lady comedy now playing at the Coliseum, stars Rob ert Young and Evelyn venable in the story of a gum drop-chewing janitor's daughter who can't make up her mind which millionaire she should marry
 With this convincing plot as a skeleton on which to build, the pro- ducers have added further intrigu- ng bits of realism in the characters If the two men and the antics shFcugh which they. proceed to de- incate ehese characters.
 John played by Reginald Denny is man of dignity. culture and eoise," who has a legitimate inter est in the department store on which she family millions are dependent. Icny played by Robert Young is rowdy but oh-so- charming play ooy who convinces Josephine Spig- gins (Evelyn Venable) to gather her roses while she may, and manages therefore to talk her out of her in- tended marriage to John.
 This delights the girls father, who never did like John, anyway and also delights John, since he has grown weary of the flavor of gum drops, and the picture ends happily.

LUCAS RETURNS
 FROM INTERIOR,
 FILA INSPECTION
Says Fairbanks Has Build ing Boom-N No Vacant
 Houses in City

TWenty-six houses were built ln Fairbanks last summer, many im- prcvements were made on commer- cial and residential property, and plans are being made for increased huilding activity next year, according to H. I. Lucas, Executive Assistant, Federal Housing Administration, who returned to Juneau aboard the Vic toria from a three-weeks' trip to the interior. The Fairbanks lumber yard reported unusual volume of building material sales, he said, and log con- struction, once the prevailing mode of architecture in the interior city, is giving way to modern frame con- struction.
 The Fairbanks Elks Lodge is plan- ming a $50,00O lodge hall next year, MT. Lucas said, and Fairbanks is looking forward to a big general building program next spring. There are no vacant houses in the town, and all of the hotels are filled and apartments occupied
 Building construction has been greatly stimulated in Anchorage al- so. MT. Lucas said, and in that city as in Fairbanks, there are no vacant living quarters.
 While in Fairbanks, MT. Lucas, who is a former secretary of the Juneau Elks lodge. was entertained at din- ner given by the officers and Past Exalted Rulers of the Fairbanks lodge No 1851.
