A CHRISTMAS PHONE MESSAGE
Hello! Hello! What's the matter?
x This old phone makes such a clatter!
Hurry, Central, please be quick,
I want to speak to good Saint Nick,
la this old Santa at the 'phone?
Now, listen—are you all alone?
I want to whisper in your ear
So low that no one else can hear. “
Did you ever get my letter?
(’Phoning tho' is so milch better.)
Dear Santa, there’s the sweetest gift
I want sent down the twenty-fifth.
Among your presents have you got /
A teeny, weeny little tot ,
With golden hair and eyes of blue,
Who laughs and'crows end says "coo

I’m so lonesome, dear old Santy,
Living, with my old maid aunty
Who only has a cat to purr,

What color have you got in eyes ?
They ought to match the bluest skies.
Is money ever scarce with you?
If not, then Santy please send two.
I’m almost sure that Aunt Van Aby
Will not let me hold her baby.
Come closer to the telephone—
Bring-one-for-me—my-very-own!
Now, Santa Claus, what makes you
laugh ?
How old am I? Six and a half.
I’m plenty big enough, all right
To hold a little baby tight.
You’ll not forget to send me two—
The smallest kind, all pink and new ?
Then I will love you till I die,
Dear Santa Claus—by-by, by-by.

Edmund is then supposed to have

negro, Foxworth, to establish alibi No.

about hauling wood he rushed back
by the Bigham place on his way to
Pamplico to .establish alibi No. Two. -
Here is where the plans began to

ETIQUETTE
By MISS FLO
Dear Miss Flo: Recently I gave a
dinner party, and the day before the
date set one of my guests infonned
me that she would be unable to at
tend. I immediately wrote a note to
another friend, asking her, as a spe
cial ^ourtesy, to come. She declined,
and, as F found later, was very angry
that 1 had invited her as she said,
merely as a “filler-n.” I thnk she
was rather rude about it, and would
like very much to know whether or
not I broke the rules of etiquette in
asking her. Thank you. L. B.
When it is necessary to invite
another guest‘ as a “filler-in” the
hostess must use great tact and dis
cretion, as many people take offense
at being invited at the last moment.
When the hostess finds that there will
be a vacancy in her dinner party she
may call upon a friend to fill the
place. It is not, of course, the most
agreeable thing for a hostess to do,
but it is a better plan than to leave
the place vacant and to have an odd
number of guests. The invitation
should be a hand-written note, ex
plaining very frankly the reason for
the last-minute invitation. The friend
invited in this manner should not feel
offended that she was not invited
first. She should, on the contrary, ac
cept the invitation, if she possibly
can, and do her best to refuse her
presence pleasant. To refuse the in
vitation, without any reason, is very
rude.

MRS. MARTIN HOSTESS
TO MOTHERS CLUB
A very delightful meeting of the
Mothers Club was held with Mrs. A.
V. Martin as hostess on last Thurs
day. A Christmas program was en
joyed and roll call whs answered with
a*farnous painting of the Madonna.
The Bible reading was from Luke 2:
8-14, and was read by Mrs. J. W.
Finney. A very interesting paper,
“Christmas in Other Lands” was read
by Mrs. T. L. W. Bailey. Mrs. John
Spratt entertained her hearers jvith a
Christmas story. Mrs. Martin, as

The acknowledgement, whether ac
ceptance or regrets, should be sent
to the daughter, as it is very dis
courteous to receive an invtation from
one person and send the acknowledge
ment to another.
