LORTS LOSE IN FIRE. Stepping from their train at Toledo after spending Christmas with friends and relatives in Hammond.

Mr. and Mr. Albert B. Lort, boarded a taxicab Tuesday midnight and directed the driver to drove to the Del Mar apts. or that city. The taxi man laughed. "Why the Del Mar is burned to the ground," he said. it was a severe blow to the Lorts who lost everything in the fire that swept their apartment and transformed Toledo's half-million dollar apartment building to a ruins of blackened walls and twisted steel girders. Mr. Bertha Smalley. sister of Mrs. Lort, learned of the misfortune by telegram the next morning. A letter received by her today confirmed the wire and in spite of the pitiful loss of wedding presents, furniture and clothing, the picture painted by Mrs. Lort was characteristically optimistic of that splendid woman who will be remembered as one time editor of this department. Mr. and Mrs. Lort, in the process of readjustment, are

making their home with Mr. and

Mrs. Thomas Brennan of Toledo,

formerly of Hammond.

How important must a visitor be

to rank this department? "A vis-

itor? Oh, yes, I am entertaining an

out-of-town visitor. But I don't

think it's important enough to say anything about y'know."

Why doesn't some enterprising

matron create a real furore and stage a "Ku Klux" party? Have the guests come attired as national guardsman; in a darkened room lighted only by a flaming cross, seat the guests about the platform of a gibbet from which hangs a black effigy; as favors use cat-o'nine talls and minature bowie knives;

for refreshments serve sour grapes, pickles and ice cream and wind up the function by singing- "We Won't Be Home Until Morning" and "The

Vacant Chair."

Thomas Kirker is today fifteen

years and one day of age. Also

he's the proud possessor of an efficient and pretty pearl pocket-

knife. And he's still talking about

the birthday party given him yes-

Mr. and Mrs. John Kirker of Garfield avenue.

The same function in different parts of town, the "understudy observes, are termed a "blowout," or a "dinner party," or "doings," or a "spread" or just "refreshments were served and games were played."

After a six weeks' vacation the Rev. and Mrs. H. Mackensen and family have returned to Hammond. They will occupy their new residence at 15 Ruth street. Rev. Mackensen will return to the pulpit of "Trinity English Lutheran church next Sunday. Mrs. Edward Dahlkamp last evening entertained ten guests at dinner at her home in Lyons street in honor of her sister, Miss Armeida Bussert, here from Rockford college for the holidays. Music and an informal gathering followed the dinner. "How far is Rockford from Rock Island?" Miss Bussert was asked by the inquisite reporter of this col. "Ten million miles'' was the quick response.

Peter Schesser sat in his favorite chair smoking contently last evening in the parlor of his home in Elm street. His outstretched feet rested upon the comfortable bosom of a staunch little footstool. Mr. Schesser was admiring the handsome green and gold Christmas house slippers that encased his feet.

Mrs. Schesser sat close by reading the social column of her favorite paper. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. A moment later in trooped a joyful group of relatives. They announced they had come to give the Schesser's a little surprise party. There wasn't any need of the word "surprise" -that was written quite legibly upon the features of Mr. and Mrs. Schesser. To drop into the vernacular, cards were played and at a late hour a tasty luncheon was served. These were the conspirators of the surprise party: Mr. and Mrs. William Warfule. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Carrigan, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Ramus, Mrs. G. D. Ramus, Mrs. Mart Scheer, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Friedley.

been searching for a story in which he might employ their combined talents. At least ten thousand manuscripts passed through his hands before he finally picked Edward J. Montagne's "One Week of Love'" as the final choice. Mr. Selznick's choice will cause thousands of hearts to flutter with excitement from Portland, Maine, to the other Portland that fronts the Pacific. Here is a story that employs a kick in every foot, rising steadily to the champion climax of the last ten years. It is a glorious battle between a "Sheik of the Seirras" and a Society Queen, the Crude vs. the Effete, and in the end both are winners. You will love the "Sheik of the Sierras'' more than any Sheik you ever saw; for he is a white man through and through, who speaks with deeds and not with rolling eles. Who but Conway Tearle for this part? What other actor in the world could

bring the necessary brain and brawn to this he-man role?

AGED INVALID DIES IN FIRE

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE TILTON, New Hamp., Dec. 29. For many years Mrs. Sarah P. Comerford, 83, an invalid, has lived alone in a tiny farm house near here and to assure her friendly neighbors that she was safe through the watches of the night it has been her custom to keep a light burning in the front window. Last night the window was left open a trifle, blowing a curtain to the flaming lamp, setting the house afire, the helpless widow perishing in the flames.

AT THE PARTHENON "One Week of Love," which comes to the Parthenon theatre next Tuesday for four days will be a rare treat for all, but most of a treat to those who have been writing, begging, and cajoling the Selznick Pictures Corporation to play Conway Tearle and Elaine Hammerstein together in one picture. Ever since these two popular players achieved fame and fortune in the World of Cinema. Mr. Lewis J. Selznick has
