A lovely Christmas tree with

formative talk by Ralph w Alvis,
Warden of Ohio State Penitent-
iary, who was introduced by Mrs.
Merrill Howard, program chair
man.
Warden Alvis traced the begin

1t has grown, until it is now the
second largest in the world, the
larger one being in the state of
Michigan.
He also spoke briefly on the
Boys and Girls Industrial Schools
and OF the MarysVille and Mans
field Reformatories
The Warden ended his talk with
the observation that at least so
percent of the inmates of these in
stitutionS come from broken
homes, and that if help had been
extended to these people at an ear
ly age, either from the home,
church or school, the Ohio State
Penitentiary would not now house
upwards of 1900 prisoners.
Gifts were distributed to the
members and each was asked to
guess their secret sisters. Very
few were guessed and each made
herself known. New names were
drawn for the ensuing year.

Harmony Club Has
Thursday Meeting
At Wilcox Home

The Harmony Club was enter
tanned Thursday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Frank Wilcox, which
had lovely decorations for the
Yuletide Season.
Mrs. Asa Bradley, president,
opened the meeting with a quota
ton from a Christmas poem. The
salute to the Flag was given.
Members responded to roll call
by naming an old Christmas Gus
tom. Some that were mentioned
were: placing candles in windows,
caroling, hanging of mistletoe in
doorways, displaying of the creche,
wreaths on doors, hanging of stock
ings, plum puddings, Christmas
trees and Yule-logs. These numer-
Gus Yuletide traditions have been
brought to this country by people
of various nationalities and reli-
gious backgrounds, but now have
become decidedly American.
A short business meeting was
held. A letter was read from Mrs.
Taylor, school librarian, thanking
the members of the Club for the
gift of a large new dictionary to
the school.
1t was announced that the next
meeting would be the annual pot
luck luncheon at 1890 o'clock,
January 10, at the home of Mrs.
Herbert Kell, which will be fol-
lowed by the election of officers.
For the program, Mrs. Fern
Thomas gave a book review of
God So Loved The World" by
Elizabeth Goudge. It is considered
the most important book of the
author, who is one of the best
story-tellers of the present time.
The book tells first of the man.
ner and customs of the people of
Palestine. then of the family and
home life of Mary, the mother of
Jesus. She was the only daughter
of A ma and Joachim, a young
girl of lovely nature, upon whom
the greatest honor was bestowed.
Mary was only fourteen years
of age, and was betrothed to Jo-
seph a descendant of the House of
David, when the angel, Gabriel ap-
peared to her telling her that she
was to be the mother Of Jesus,
the son of God.
An angel also appeared to Jo-
seph telling him the great mess
age, before he and Mary were
married.
After a time they journeyed from
their home in Nazareth to Beth
lem the city of David, a distance
of over eighty miles, to pay their
taxes. 1t was while there that
Mary's son, the baby Jesus was
born. There being no room in the
inn, they were lodged in a cave
in which beasts were kept. The
cave was glorified into the scene
of the nativity.
Shepherds and kings came to
see the babe in the manger, who
later became the Saviour of the
world.

Select WooIens
For Home Needs
In Ideal BUYING

Say the word wool and most
people think of winter clothing.
For the seamstress who is turning
her attention to woolen garments,
Edith Berry, Ohio State University
extension clothing specialist, has
the following practical and help
full information on selecting the
right fabric.
Think of your own sewing
skills when buying your fabric" ="
said Miss Berry. Although wool
is easy to mold and you can easily
shrink in unwanted fullness or
shape a collar with it, it is still a
material easy to spoil with tight
ness in stitching, too hard pressing,
or by any look of tension and
stiffness.
Some fabrics are easier to han
die than others" continued the
specialist. For instance, a light
weight, firmly-woven tweed or
flannel is easier to handle than a
loosely-woven tweed or a crisp
worsted, like gabardine. A heavily
mapped woolen fabric should be
tackled only by the person who is
we'll skilled with her sewing ma
chimes"
Miss Berry says that it does not
matter if you buy your pattern or
your fabric first, just as long as
you end up with fabric and a
pattern that belong to each other.
Soft, lightweight wool crepe or
jersey are nice for gathers, draped
lines or impressed pleats. Heavier,
smoother fabrics call for a pattern
with smooth, tailored lines.
For dressy wool garment, the
specialist recommends a pattern,
fabric and color to suggest rich
ness and softness. A tailored gar
ment has a more business-line look
while the sports garment suggests
a certain rugged or sturdy look.
