YOUR FRIENDS and mine apparently feel great concern about relatives living in California, Long Island and such places? We know of nu merous people who are trying to persuade their relatives to come to roost in Louisville for the du mum pleasure to many people is that at 7 p.m. December 23 at the Cabbage Patch Settlement House.

For weeks the good ladies who are ration. Strangely enough, however, the replies '4 i V' 'i i'5" y- interested yin the work being done there, have been busy selecting and wrapping up Christmas gifts for the children. Last year the Optimist Club told the Cabbage Patch children to ask for the gift each one desired most. Miss Louise Marshall warned the members of the club that they might be getting in deep water, since there are 500 children who frequent the Settlement House. But the committee said it was resolved to give the children what they most wanted.

BECAUSE the members of the Woman's Club feel that they should devote every facility to defense, they have(canceled the New Year's reception which they had planned. A tea following the regular meeting on January 7 will be their only socral gayety.

ONE OF THE BOYS from Yale told us that about 300 of the collegians in New Haven have already enlisted in Uncle Sam's army, navy and whatnot. MUCH TO THE disappointment of their many friends, Mary and Bob McElwain will not be able to get home Jor Christmas. Lieutenant Bob has finished a training course and has now returned to camp, where Mary and Bob will probably spend the holidays. (ANYTHING can happen at the telephone company. Just the other day a man came in to pay his telephone bill.

After presenting the bill (we blush to tell you), he proceeded to remove his trousers. Underneath he had on another pair and his explanation was, "Huh, I'm not going to let these Christmas pickpockets get hold of my money." He was carrying his cash in the pocket of the nether-more pair of pants. And recently the staff at the telephone company was told to be on good behavior because a vice president was expected to inspect. Everyone was quiet and dignified all morning long but the vice president did not appear. Suddenly there was a terrific crash as Jennie Martin Lee fell over backward in her desk chair.

Just then in walked the vice president with poor Jennie Martin on the floor, her legs waving in the air. Jack Ward, Dr. Charlton Mac. pherson and Mrs. Macpherson, who live in St.

A Christmas Ball followed at 10 p.m. During intermission, there was a Kentucky Old Fiddlers' contest, with all the old airs played in the Kentucky manner. The Junior Kentuckians' Cotillion followed, with the arrival of Santa Claus at midnight. Young men and girls home from colleges and schools were special guests, and selectees away from home were admitted free. Each guest brought a gift of food or warm clothing, new and old, books and toys as gifts to be sent to the Glen Eden Community Center in Lee County, Kentucky.

Friends of Mrs. Allen R. Hite will be interested to know, that an art firm in New York which makes a specialty of Christmas cards was permitted by MrsHite to reproduce her painting of the Madonna and Child to be used as Christmas cards this season. They were interested to find that nearly the entire 500 wanted roller skates. Inasmuch as there come thick and fast that coast residents prefer to sit tight.

WHILE IN NEW YORK recently, Mrs. D. Porter Bibb telephoned a friend whom she hasn't seen in ages. She learned to her surprise that her friend's husband was a pilot on an Atlantic clipper. Mrs.

Bibb suggested that she call on her friend on Tuesday. The friend had a better idea. "Come on Friday, Mary. My husband flies to Lisbon Tuesday but he'll be back in" time for lunch Friday." This modern age! A BEAU GESTE on the part of Mrs. F.

H. Linkenberg was the presentation of twelve large and expensive musical instruments and two huge boxes of orchestrations to soldiers at Fort Knox. A relative of Mrs. Linkenberg, Thomas Lincoln, was a music instructor and on his death bequeathed all his instruments to Mrs. Linkenberg.

When the war came along, Mrs. Linkenberg decided that the gift of the musical instruments would be a nice memorial to her brother. She still has seven instruments. Last Saturday night the Linkenbergs brought home with them from the Service Club two sorrowful and homesick soldiers. Both were young lads, downhearted because they couldn't get home to see their wives on Christmas.

When they reached the Linkenberg house, Mrs. Linkenberg dragged out her musical instruments. One of the boys took a banjo, the other a guitar and they all sat up until nearly 3 a.m. singing themselves into better were not 500 pairs of roller skates in the city, the committee telegraphed a wholesale manufacturer of skates and, in short or Orrell Funk Mrs. James Caldwell Orrell, Kuttawa, announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Nancy Orrell, to Mr.

ITT 1 Harris Hoge der, 500 pairs of assorted sizes were delivered in time for every child to have his or her cherished wish. The Hardin Wards are looking forward eagerly to Christmas this year, for their only child, Jack, and his wife, will arrive this week from St. Paul, to spend Christmas. Jack has notified his mother that he wants a tree, not a little one but a very grand big one, and that he wants to trim it and wants everybody there to watch him do it. Mr.

and Mrs. Ward have moved from their big house to a somewhat smaller apartment, and have thrown away the accumulations of years, including all the Christmas tree ornaments which they used in former days when Jack was young.
