of many decades. The congress is
scattered in many directions in the
homes of the various members; on
plcasure-iuspection trips; at some of
the resorts, and also in- Washington.
Officials who are remaining here are
making merry with the endless round
of dinner parties, charity balls and
private dances and by means of these
manage to eke out a strenuous exist
ence. iThe annual Christmas night ball,
given always on this night for the
benefit of the Children's Country
heme, of whose board Mrs. Joseph
Leiter is president, had to be post
poned to January 2, as the December

Star of Bethlehem. ' The president's
wife caused it to be announced that
she would thus illuminate the White
House tonight, as she did every
year at her-home in Marion, a cus
tom which the citizens of Marion
happily followed, making Marion, O.,
the brightest little village . in the
country on Christmas eves.

thing about them which made them different. In some
way they carried to you the personality of the sender.
Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Levings (Mark and Mary Lev

which read:

has her cards in giftihops all over
the United States and Mark Cross
on Fifth avenue handles her work
exclusively. Mrs. Mumaugh is a
close friend of Mrs. Charles Jo
hannes. The Christmas cards of Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Wattles carry a minia
ture picture of their son. Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Barker have worked out
the same idea in an attractive way.
Bright. colors have caught the eye
of the young set. Miss . Gertrude

The little bird is his "lphigenia," which features in much
of Mr. Block's personal work. He and three of his
classmate in art school each adopted a tort of mascot
for artistic purposes. The Iphigcuia was Mr. Block'i
choice. The bird appears again on his more conven

modern girl liked it. Miss Peggy

of color. Miss Erna Reed preferred
gay colors, too, using a pink card
with a petite miss all dressed up for

contrasted colors.
Mrs. Yale Holland and Mrs. Miles

Wherever you slay, wherever you go,
Hay Ihs beautiful palms of Allah grow.
Through the days of labor and nishts of
rest,
May the love of sweet Allah malt you

So I touch my heart as the Eastern fi.
May the peace of Allah abide with you."
An exquisitely tinted hand drawing

the compliment Miss Alice Anderson
pays each of her friends to whom
she sends a card at Christmas-tide,
The verse varies for eveh individual,
being something appropriate in tach
case. .
The Chinese Lly .
The Chinese sacred lily is a very
ornamental flower for indoors and
easily taken care of. The bulbs can
be bought at any florist's at a
trifling cost. Place the bulbs in a
large glass dish filled with water,
surrounding the bulbs with pebbles
and shells to keep them in an up
right position.
In from three to five days the
little shoots begin to show and
grow very rapidly and in six weeks
the lily will bloom.
A few bits of charcoal hidden
among the pebbles will keep the
water pure. The water absorbed by
the plants should always be renewed
at least once a day. Have the dish
containing the lilies about four inches
deep. These lilies in their dainty set
ting are a joy forever in an invalid's
room.
