An All-Star Broadway Variety Show started the festivities. This show was fast, well-timed and was ably introduced by Chuck Wilson, the Master of Ceremonies.
 A short period of dancing fol- lowed and Santa Claus appeared in person to distribute the gifts. Ev- eryone present was given a Christ mas package.
 A table which literally groaned with the weight of cider, cookies, doughnuts and cake was set at one end of the gym and the chow line formed with the usual G.I. alacrity.
 More dancing followed and then the inevitable. The Christmas party came to a close. All present were of the same mind. An enjoy able evening had come to a close all too soon.

Frills and dainty touches are
not restricted to Valentines Day,
it would seem. The whole spirit
of fashion this season is senti-
mental, appealing and feminine.
With spring just around the pro-
verbal corner, smart Washing
tonians are turning more and
more to the fresh touches" in
their wardrobes, replacing
quantity of clothes with a few
changeable ones. The combina-
ton of wartime and restricted
buying has done the trick. The
result: Women better and more
sensibly groomed than ever.
Mrs. Ormsby McCammon
brought breath of spring to a
tea the other afternoon, when
she appeared in a smart frock of
navy blue, with touches of pale
blue at throat and wrists, and the

with a fiaring, pale blue bow.

in five shades and dries over

and evening, depending upon the
color chosen.

We shall have less time to work
in our flower beds for the vege-
table garden will need most OF
that which Is available. Hence a
mulch is Of value in reducing the
demands for cultivation, water
ing and wedding. With this in
mind, let's plan to mulch our
flower beds as heavily as our sup
ply of compost will permit.
Our lawns must get along with
out the usual spring application
OF fertilizer but we can meet the
problem through the addition of
some seed and top dressing of
compost. top soil and bone meal,
or, better still, mix the rich top
soil with some well-rotted ma
nure If obtainable. In most cases
the top dressing should prove
fully as effective as an applica-
ton of commercial fertilizer.
Insect and disease control will
be more difficult this year. Sup
plies of bordeaux and other cop
per compounds are greatly re-
duced. Lead, rotenone, pyre-
thrum and arsenate are in short
supply and should be reserved
for the commercial producer.
However. there are ample sup
plies of nicotine sulphate and
sulphur. The nicotine sulphate
is effective only on the aphids
and soft-bodied insects, but they

sulphur mixed with lime Is an
excellent fungicide If properly
used. ut is not safe to use it

Flower seeds and bulbs are in
a relatively plentiful supply, al
though the labor for harvesting
and marketing them is none too
plentiful. Nurseries have suffered
severely from the shortage of
labor and many have had to close
their businesses.
Steel and rubber garden equip
ment are not being manufactured
today. Their makers are busy
with munitions. Hence the home
gardener must repair and make
his existing equipment do. Instead
of throwing away a tool because
the handle is broken it should
have a new handle. The broken
parts should be repaired in a
nearby blacksmith shop.
All things point to a busy and
important season for the home
gardener. Let's prepare to do
the best job that can be done,
We should complete our plans as
soon as possible, arrange to have
the tools repaired, and order seed
and fertilizer, together with
spray materials.

A little note came to my desk
which surprised me. 1t read:
We are Juniors and seniors in
high school and we need your
help. You see, we must take the
bus to and from school, as 1t is
far out, and We no longer can
walk to and from school as
we used to do, So that waist
and hip problem" is weighing us
down. Please print in your COL
umn some exercises which will
keep our figures slender-We do
not want to get hip spread!
Dear Girls: You are foresighted
indeed, for girls of your age do
need constant exercise to keep
slender, healthy and to keep
compilations clear and beautiful.
l hope you all enthuse over an
outdoor sport--both winter and
summer. That helps a great
deal. But here are some exer-
cises which you can 90 daily
either in the school gymnasium
or at home on a folded blanket
on the floor:
Exercise Sit on a chair and
pull your abdomen in and up.
Place fingers on shoulders, raise
elbows to shoulder level. Keep
ing head nicely poised, rotate
your elbows, going backward 10
times and then going forward 10
times. You should feel your
shoulder blades getting a good
stretching! This prevents hump
ed shoulders and helps to
strengthen the midriff.
