Poinsettas were the decorations used. An eleven o'clock lunch waH served to one hundred KiieBtH. Beacon Journal (Akron, Ohio.) Mr. and Mr. Wood are well known here. Mrs. Wood is a former resident of thin city. They have been honored with a number of delightful events Kiven recently. The expect to leave December the twenty-seventh for their now home in Cleveland, Ohio. Last evening Miss Helen Brewster gave a dinner In their honor at the Portage Country club.

MEETING CHANGED. The Magazine club did not meet yesterday afternoon with Mrs. H. H. Huntington at her home in North Twelfth street. The meeting has been deferred until after the holidays.

IMPORTANT EVENT. What promises to be an Important social event for the week will be given Thursday afternoon at the home of Miss Florence McGuire in East Main Btreet. Miss Margaret Bdgwiek will also assist in entertaining. The affair Is complimentary to Miss Ruth Mashmeyer who is to be married soon.

8HOULD DO THEIR DUTY. Does the ordinary brother do his duty by his sister or sisters? Is it not often the case that while he is, perhaps, remarkably devoted to soma one else's sister he is considerably neglectful of his own? "It really seems rather a shame, you knew," remarked the newly-engaged girl to the sister of her fiance. "It really same almost a shame for me to take your brother from you. He takes me everywhere. Now, if he hadn't me he would be taking you." That girl had no brothers of her own, and the young man's sister was too loyal to hiin to enlighten her that that was hardly how brothers generally behaved to their sisters. "Sisters," wrote the schoolboy who had to write an essay on the subject, "are not much good. Clothes keep keep them from climbing and duing useful things. They can't hroe strate, and thare game are only fit for gurls. Not having pockets, they never have nives and things to swop. They screech at nothing, and cry if one happens to hit them." Matrimonially, does the brother help his sister? Does he introduce her to his friends as he might? He is generally supremely unconscious of the fact that his best chum may possibly, have fallen in love with her. It an enormous lot to awaken him to the fact when it happens, and until he has been awakened to it he is commonly an obstacle that almost drives the other man frantic to get one out of the way so that he may reveal his affection. When at last he awakes to the Btaggering fact, that his chum has actually proposed to his sister and been accepted in the five minutes he left them together it is doubtful whether he does not feel a little hurt that his chum should have the taste to prefer only Jane's society to his own. If brothers would only ask themselves oftener whether they are quite as helpful to their sisters as they might be, a good deal more happiness would be carried into many house

holds. And how much more help and j

encouragement, too, might they themselves receive! For what heart is so generous in gratitude as the heart of the girl?

SEASON OF PARTIES. Parties are In season the year round in November, in March, in June but to the heart of the child there is none that can compare with the Christmas, party. From the moment bright eyes light upon the small bit of pasteboard or the pictured sheet of note paper that makes known Bibbie Smith's or Aggie Brown's intention to be host and hostess till it is all over and the same bright eyes have opened in Dreamland, it is one succession of

thrills. Children are such queer little creatures. Everything delights no matter how trivial the thing may be. Of other parties one knows what to expect but of the Christmas party oh the delight of it -one can only wonder what is going to happen next. Who is there of us who does not remember even across more years than one cares to count, the joy of joys of receiving the invitation, and how one lived, oil, so slowly on, till the night of Christmas week when, as the card had informed one, "the revels were to begin." Something of the same spirit is true of the grown-ups entertaining at this particular season, too. The spirit of Christmas is all prevading, however modern times may decry the fact, and the tea and luncheon, bridge or dinner party that is set for the holiday week is sure to be anticipated with more than the customary zest. MEETINGS CHANGED All the clubs scheduled to meot Monday postponed their sessions on account of the Christmas rush. The meetings will probably be held alter the Christinas vacation.

twentyifth in the Pythian Temple by Mrs. Charles Kolp. Mrs. Kolp's parties are always delightful affairs and the young people as well as the older ones enjoy these events thoroughly. Dancing will begin at nine o'clock. It is expected that several out-of-town guests will be present.

DANCE SATURDAY. The Original Mutt, Jeff and Turk Saxophone Trio of Columbus, O., will give adance at the K. of P. Temple on Saturday evening. Dec. 23. Everybody is invited.

SALE PROMISES TO BE LIGHT. For the first time in four years the sale of mistletoe in Richmond, promises to be light, Christmas day, as usual, comes on December twentyfifth. One week later will see the ushering in of the new year, which will be leap year. With the twentieth century woman exercising her privileges, mistletoe would be superfluous in 1UV1. A woman who hasn't enough eye to economy to wait from December the twenty-fifth to January the first probably wouldn't have enough initiative to make leap year count, anyway.

FIRST MEETING. Mr. Charles Knierim met with his cousing for the first, time in Richmond, Mr. John A. Knierim, an operator of Dodson, Ohio, and a brother ot F. C. Knierim, an operator aud agent of the same place. They had a splendid time at the home of Mr. Casper Knierim. Those present were Miss Lavina Clevenger, Miss Margaret Brokamp, Miss Mary Ross, Mr. John a Knierim, Mr. William Knierim and Charles Knierim.

TO COME SUNDAY. Mr. Bonner Wampler of Depue, Illinois, will come Sunday morning to wpend Christmas here with his parents. Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Wampler, of North Seventh street.

A CITY IN THE SEA. Ruins of an Ancient Town on tho Bad of tho Adriatic Near Rovigo. on the peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic sea. the ruins of a large town are said to exist at the bottom of the sea. It had been observed for some years that fishermen', nets were sometimes entangled in what appeared to be masses of masonry, of which fragments were brought up from tho sea bed. says the Pall Mall Gazette. A diver declared that he had seen walls and streets below the water. The city authorities decided to in vestigate. They sent down a diver, who. at the depth of Sol feet, found himself surrounded on the bottom o! tho sea by the ruined walls, undoubtedly the work of man. Continuing his explorations, he traced the line of walls and was able to distinguish how the streets were laid out. He did not see any doors or window openings, for they were hidden by masses of seaweed and incrustations. He traced the masonry for a distance of loo feet, where he had to stop, as his diving cord did not permit him to go farther. Some people think that they identify this lost town with the island mentioned by Pliny the elder under the name of CLssa, near Istria. This island cannot be found now, and it is thought the submerged town may have been a settlement on the island that so mysteriously disappeared.

(National News Association) ZUERICH, Dec. 19. The great canary show, the most interesting of its kind ever held in any country of Kurope or elsewhere, closed here today with an extremely interesting warbling contest for valuable prizes by the most famous and best trained of the feathered singers in the exhibition. The show, which durum the weeU of its progress attracted thousands of bird fanciers from parts of the continent, was not ihe first of its kind in this city, but by far the greatest in point of h- number "rd importance of entries. One of the most inn resting features of the exhibition wee the demonstrations of the most approved and n.odern methods of housing, feeuing, training and breeding canaries. The show included a large exhibit of wild canaries from the island of Ter.eriffa, which are used by canary breeders .r cross breeding purposes. So urcat has been the success of the exhibition that the holding of another exhibition next year is already assured, with a prospect of surpassing the show lust ended in the number of entries and in the scope of the exhibition in general.

LIGHT REFLECTION. Tho Roason Why Foam Alwayo Ap- j poars- Whito In Color. j When water or liquid of any color is j violently agitated small bubbles of; air are mixed up with if. aud thus j foam is formed, and its whiteness lsj due to the fact that when light passes i from one medium to another of a dif-1 ferent refractive index it is always j reflected, and this reflection may bej so often repeated as to reuder the mixture impervious to light. It is, then, this frequency of the re-1 flections of the limiting surfaces of; air and water that renders foam opaque, and us each particle reflects light in all directions so much light is reflected that the mixture appears white. j To a similar cause is due the white-! ness of transparent bodies when crush-' ed to powder. The separate particles1 transmit light freely, but the refleo- i tions at their surfaces are so numer-l ous that the resulting effect is white.' Thus glass when crushed is a white; powder and is opaque, but when it is' put uni'er water it once more becomes ; transparent, because the water fills up the interstices between the particles, and the reflections are destroyed. Salt and snow nre also common examples of this condition.

Divars Madness. An Australian pearl diver says that one of the strange effects of diving is the invariable bad temper felt while working at the bottom of the sea. As this usually passes away as soon as the surface is reached. It is probably due to the pressure of the air affecting the brain. The exhilaration and good temper of the mountain climber are contrary feelings from aa opposite cause. A diver becomes so angry at some imaginary wrongdoing on the part of those In the boat abOT that he gives the signal to be pulled up. "with the intention of knocking the heads off the entire crew." only to forget what he came up for wheu th surface is reached.
