Christmas Party

Little babies have acquired no
immunity to germs, and a cold,
If contracted, might have serious
and even fatal results.
With the idea of promoting
happy relations between. the
quintuplets and the other mem
bers of their family, all these
were entertained on Christmas
Day at the babies hospital.
It was their party to their re-
lations. Everyone sat down to a
turkey dinner, and, in the wait.
ing reception room, the elder
Dionne children, Rose. Therese,
Daniel, Ernest and Pauline, had
their own Christmas tree with
gifts and candy for all.
In the nursery the nurses
placed a specially decorated tree
for the quintuplets. Their favor
ite playing is a tiny red tree
ornament which Is shaped like a
Christmas bell and tinkles faint
ly. Five pairs Of big blue eyes
follow it with keen attention
when the nurse shakes it lightly
above the round heads,

Parents Visit

The parents may come every
morning, and usually do. The
entire family were interested
spectators of the christening OF
the babies at the hospital q few
weeks ago.
When the babies are older,
their brothers and sisters will
be close at hand to join them
in their daily play.
Just now the elder D1onne
children-three girls and two
boys, ranging in age from z to
2-must look at their famous
juniors through the observation
window.
There is a good reason for
this precaution. We cannot
allow children TO enter the nurs'
cry, because they are such germ
carriers. The young DionneS
often suffer from colds, and, be-
fore the babies were moved,
their brothers and sisters had to
be sent away from the family
home.

For example, even in the
shadow of elevated railroads or
in the CRIME and smoke of fac
tory and mining towns, it is still
possible to grow ailanthus,
privet, iris, daisies, kochia, four
O'Clock, and japanese hop.
For garden space that is par.
ticularly hot and dry, it is best
to specialize in such plants as
yucca, iris, and cacti. In a
garden that is damp and shady
ferns, astilbe, and woodland
flowers are the best ventures.
These may be grouped so as to
afford considerable garden

Cooperate With Parents
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am at present keeping COM
pany with a young man whom
I dearly love and I have all rea-
son to believe he loves me, too.
My parents also think a great
deal Of him. Since I am nine
teen years Of age, can promise
to marry him without my pa
rents consent.
Should I ask their ideas be-
fore I promise him, or Is it all
right for me to promise him
and then make it known? If
the latter is correct, how soon
after the engagement should I
make 1t known to them?

pOrtant decision, and before
you make plans to do your own
announcing, you would be a
thoughtful and gracious and ap-
preciative daughter if you talk
over this step with your pa
rents.
Since, as you say, your pa
rents are favorably inclined to-
ward the young man, this won't
be a difficult thing to do. I'd
prefer to have you take the
point of view Of cooperation
with your parents, instead Of
thinking in terms of what you
may or may not do without
their consent"
The manly thing for your fl
ance to do is to see your father
and have a fine. honest talk
with him, as to his plans, his
prospects, and all of those i'm
portant questions so vital in this
decision.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I miss out on so many good
times just because 1 don't have
a boy friend. All the girls I
know talk about the splendid
times they are having and poor
little me just sits here and
listens to them.
It seems that boys are very
unfriendly, and the girls have
to make all the advances. I
always thought, until I heard
these girls talk, that the boys
were supposed to go after the
girls, but that's not the case,
Miss Fairfax. At the school
where I go, all the boys are too
short for me, except one or
two real old boys, and they are
too stuck up. 1 am IS years
old. A READER.
Well, my dear, you've got
plenty of time to become popu-
lar and to show those real old
boys who must be all of 16 or
IT, that you don't care whether
they're stuck up or not. Don't
worry about dates yet awhile,
and your indulgence is asked
for what ] am about to say.
At Is, you must really try
to get some equipment for life
in the way of education. Do
you go to dancing school? If
not, ask your mother to let you
join a dancing class.

Tender Care

She often amuses the babies
In this fashion. There are
three most excellent and de-
voted nurses, two on duty con-
tinually and one used as a re-
lief. All three feel warm af-
fection for their little charges,
and show it in many ways.
They play with the babies
when the latter are having
their baths, or are sprawled out
in the rats nest" as the big
sun bunk is always called in
the nursery. The nurses pat
the little tummieS affection
ately, to expel wind, and are
very gentle in lifting the babies
and supporting their still wob-
bly, heads.
ALI the nurses frankly declare
that they can't sing; neverthe.
less, they give an imitation be.

charmed with it.

Looked Romantic
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I did not have to sweep off
the pavement in front of our
house, but I saw a movie in
which a girl did that and met
her fate. So I began to sweep.
HE drove by four or five times
each morning and then we be-
gan to talk.
He took me out in his car,
but behaved very badly, and I
threatened to box his ears,
but did not do it.
I hate to go out with him
because he acts so rough and
common. Yet if I did not go
with him I should have to stay
home. What can I do to make
him treat me with more re-
spect? MAMIE.
The answer to your letter is
so simple, my dear, that I have
really very little hope you will
follow it.
Just refuse to go out with
the young man whose behavior
is 80 rough and common"
That is the only way to escape
him that I know Of.

Q-What is the Sin against tht
Holy Ghost" mentioned in the New
TESTAMENT
A-There is no definite agree
ment in Protestant teaching as TO
what is the sin against the Holy
Ghost. but the best opinion would
be that it is the persistent refusal
to follow the highest ore knows
whatever that highest may be. In
other words, the point is that the
sin against the Holy Ghost is con-
cerned not with specific beliefs or
with specific actions, but with
certain quality Of life-a persistent
preference for the nearer rather
than the remoter good: for one
own interest rather than the in
terests of others-in word the
persistent choice of the self Of the
moment rather than that better
and more permanent self whom
the Spirit of God is continually
seeking to bring to birth in the
spirit Of man.
Insofar as the Catholic meaning
is concerned, the sin against the
Holy Ghost has been interpreted
