This may seem true for some, but to others the social whirl of the winter season still goes on. For instance, the Kiwanis Inaugural Ball takes place this coming Wednesday, the evening, wedding and of then, Jane and Clyde Gordon takes Bazley, week from tonight, and there will be a number of prewedding parties for the bridal party.

In the rush of activities during the past week or so, we neglected to tell you of outstanding decorations and cards, in which we feel you will be interested. The Christmas decorations this year were prettier than ever. Persons also went to a great deal of trouble in decorating the interior of their homes. One house that looked particularly lovely was the Roert Gable home. Upon entering, one was greeted by a large spray of silver leaves red bells, gayly lighted, and they had an ever so attractive manner of displaying their Christmas cards, for over the bookcase, with a silver standard, reading "Merry Christmas," was a large spray of silver leaves, and about, were arranged their cards.

Speaking of cards, weren't they attractive this year? One of the cunningest ones we received was from the Dick Macks. They chose a colored picture of their small daughter, Shirley, asleep and leaning against her collie. Painted on the card was a chimney and Santa arriving with his reindeer. The inscription was A Merry Christmas from Florence, Dick and Shirley Mack. The George R.

Brights also sent an unusual one. The inscription read, George, Loretto and Lorette wish you a Merry Christmas. the front flap was an etching of a man and a woman, both looking at a baby who was celebrating her first Christmas, looking at a tree with one lighted candle on it. On the inside page was a fireplace, on which hung three stockings, of various sizes, each with a note in it saying, A Happy New Year. Mollie Cullum, of Greenfields, near Reading, sent a photograph of Riveredge Farms, her home, and a gay Santa Claus dressed in red felt, and with a Program Planned For Pt.
