PEOPLES CHURCH CLOSES
CELEBRATION
Golden Jubilee a Success


The Golden Jubilee Anniversary
Celebration at Peoples Church was
brought to a close on Sunday night.
when Rev. c. Guy Robbins DID,, pas
tor of the Universalist Church of Chel-
sea brought the final message. DR..
Robbins spoke on 'Vision", offering
encouragement and hope to the pastor
and parishioners for the days that are
to come.
This celebration began on November
18th and continued through December
10th, and during the entire celebration
the interest and enthusiasm was indeed
remarkable to say the least. Ministers
land lay workers from far and near con
tributed of their time and money to
make the celebration an assured sue
cess.
Noteworthy among the many
achievements of this mighty conclave
was that there has been born to the
good citizens of both races in and
around Greater Boston, a finer friend
ship, better understanding and firm
resolution to make the next fifty years
of service all that human ingenuity and
unselfsh sacrifice, together with single
ness of purpose that reasonably can be
expected of it.
As the church turns its face toward
the second half century, it is reassur-
ing to know that at its head is to be
found that intrepid chieftain, Luther
Marion Fuller, who through the years
has been unbending in his upward
surge toward victory, and fanked by
the good people of Peoples Church
the future seems bright.
The pastor, officers and members
feel a deep sense of gratitude to those
who from without helped in the cele-
bration. SO, fifty years of alternating
successes and failures, of CROPPING and
of joy and rejoicing were
placed in the archives, and the church
accepts the challenge to climb to higher
heights in the fifty years that lay
before it.
This church has established itself
firmly IN the hearts and affections of
the people of Chelsea through fifty
wears of continuous service in the in
terests of the public, and it does seem
inconceivable with the small group of
colored people living here, that the
church should be hampered or embaras-
sed by over-ambitious religionists, who
cannot claim residence here, are seek
ing to plant two Mission churches to
disturb the work that has taken fifty
years to foster. It is therefore hoped
that these irresponsible people will not
receive encouragement or help from
the friends of fair-plav and the loyal
people of all races in Chelsea who have
stood by the church through the last
fifty years.

abiding peace for when Christ is born,
all sin becomes conquered, all weak
nesses subdued, because through him
are all things possible.
The storms may rage, troubles may
multiply, the waves may beat hard, the
dark clouds may hang low, life may
seem almost gone, the mountains too
high to climb but when Christ is born
in you a new hope, new strength, new
courage arise and though there be no
sunshine there is strength to go

An Attractive
Girl Always
Is Dainty
Freshness Is Very
Important Part
OF Appearance
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

1t Is so easy to grow careless about
ones clothes during the winter
months. Somehow in summer we
delight in slipping into a freshly
laundered dress and wouldn't dream
OF wearing one which did not look
crisp from recent pressing. But
in winter there is a tendency to
get by with infrequent cleanings
and DRESSINGS.
This is good week to look over
your clothes. Take out all of YOUR
dresses from the closet and inspect
them carefully. Do they need dry
cleaning? How about fresh shields?
Are all the buttons intact, and the
hooks and eyes? Perhaps the hens
are ripped in places and require
stitch or two. And do not hang
them away until you have aired
them well, brushed them thoroughly
and pressed them or had them
cleaned.
Then get out your lingerie and
mend that. Seams may be parting
and straps, too. Your darker undies
must be dry cleaned if they are
not washable-just as your gowns.
There is absolutely no excuse for
any girl to wear soiled underthings.
Because we must wear heavier
clothing in winter than in summer.
our pores can become choked or
we may at times perspire too freely.
Either condition should be corrected
by a stimulating bath and the use
of a reliable deodorant. If we do
not take these precautions our
dresses soon have a telltale odor
which is easily detected by others and
may be missed by ourselves. Many
girls find that a brisk cologne rub,
after daily shower or bath, pre-
vents their clothes from absorbing
odors. You might try that.
OF course, I should not need to
caution any of you about wearing
soiled collars and cuffs or other
lingerie touches, on your dresses.
But alas. too frequently you see
girls trying to make them do" one
day more.
q Handbags and gloves also should
come under your inspection. And
inside bands of hats. Learn to clean
these at home with bit of cleaning
fluid If you cannot afford to send
them out.
You will be surprised how much
more dainty you will look, and how
much more self-satisfied you will
feel, If you see to all these little
groomings. Freshness, or dainti-
ness, Is very appealing. And if you
want to be convinced about 1t Just
discuss the subject with a candid
man! All men simply loathe care
lessness of dress. Most of them
truly do not mind what you wear
df they are fond of you as long
as it is Immediately clean and
mended. Just keep that in mind!

Maybe so. Nevertheless, am still
convinced that the home remedy
OF just plain. ordinary, common
politeness would do more to cure
the heart trouble, from which so
many people suffer, than anthing
else. If husbands and wives would
try as hard to sell themselves to
each other as they do to outsiders
there would be no more married
philanderers, no more discordant
households, no more divorces. This
Is no sentimental pipe dream. i'm
possible of realization. 1t is a
plain, workable business proposition.
1t is common knowledge with all
men and women that If they want
friends. If they want to gain the
affection of others and keep it, if
they want to make a success in any
line of human endeavor, they must
show courtesy and consideration
to those with whom they come in
contact. That is what makes the
merchant treat his customers with
suavity. That is what makes the
doctor listen patiently and sympa-
thetically to old Mrs. Smiths
maundering account of her imagi-
nary ills. That is what makes the
lawyer defer to Mr. Jones' opinion
instead of telling him to his teeth
what an idiot he is. Politeness and
consideration pay heavy dividends.
And, If politeness and considera-
ton pay in business, how much more
they pay in the domestic relation
ship, and yet how rarely are they
used! The most cynical thing on
earth is that we use the phrase
home truths" to describe the cruel
est, the most insulting things that
are ever said to us. It Is only those
OF our own families who tell us
the things that we would rather die
than hear-how old we are getting,
how salloW we look, how unbecoming
our new clothes are. how dull and
stupid and tiresome we are.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

CHAPTER ELEVEN.
Perhaps you never thought of 1t,
but your arms and hands as we'll as
your ankles and feet will give away
your age as quickly as crows feet
about the eyes or sagging lines at
the throat.
If your arms or hands are your
poor points there are ways of i'm
proving them-or making them look
graceful and lovely.
The same Is true of ankles and
feet. The proper shoes and hose
can transform thick ankles into
slender ones and vice versa!
Thin Arms
l. Never wear tight fitting
sleeves.
Wear draped sleeves, medieval
sleeves, page-boy sleeves or slit
sleeves.
z. Never wear sleeveless dresses.
Even your tennis dresses must
nave cap sleeve or butterfly
sleeve flaring from inverted pleats.
3. Never wear elbow sleeves
hanging Imply.
Your arms are smaller than
standard size.
So standard sleeves will never fit
properly
You can adjust short sleeves in
flve minutes by sewing on snaps
that will take a reef in them at
the cuff and make them fit tightly
halfway from shoulder to elbow.
thus achieving a most flattering
puff.
4. Wear covered shoulder de-
cOlletages.
Hide your upper arms beneath a
circular flounce of lace.
Or tossed-back winged victory
drapery.
Or a Flemish Golf effect.
Large Arms
l. Never wear tight-fitting
sleeves.
But don't wear bouffant ones.
Rather wear raglans or kimono
sleeves or medieval sleeves.
2. Never wear sleeveless dresses.
They will make you look even
more undressed, if that's possible
than they do the thin woman.
But your evening sleeves should
never be unattached drapery.
Dropped sleeves for evening are
good.
And your sports sleeves should
hang free in cape fashion from the
shoulders.
