Family Reunions for Xmas.
From far and near the grownup
(!iii(!rcn and th'e grandchildren come
hack to the parental roof for Christ
inas. Christinas is a real family day
and as Omaha is typically a home
city this season is always the happiest
of the year.
The Congdon home is always the
schene of a family gathering at Christ-
i mas time. This year Mr. and Mrs.
i Herbert French and small daughter,
Jo Anne, arc coming all the way from
laton Rouge. La., to spend the
i nnstmas witn .Mrs. l-renchs par
ents and .Mr. and Mrs. Robert For
gan will be here from Chicago.
The spacious home of Miss Kate
Mcllugh has entertained many a fam
ily party under its hospitable roof in
year past, but this year, as Mr. and
hdwui rlatt, who was formerly Miss
Florence McHtigh, have serious ill
ness in the family, Miss McHugh
fears that they will not be together.
The 1'latts live in Denver.
Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Allison -will be
hosts at a family dinner Christmas
day at their beautiful home. I he Alli
sons are famed for their hospitality
and the members or the younger set,
especially, welcome an invitation to
"Koscmcre."
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Russell and
Miss Anne Russell, who have been
spcndnift some time in the east, have
curtailed their visit that they might
all he together Christmas. Miss Flor
ence j usscli. who is a student at
Smith, will also be at home and the
Russell family will enjoy the day to
gether with Mr. and Airs. Frederic
btott.
The gathering of the families
around the board on Christmas dav
will no doubt dispel, for a time at
least, the shadow the war has cast
i over ns all.

OW to stretch $200" is
the substance of a letter
which reached me thrs
morning. It reads in
part: "I have $200 to
spend on my house, and I realize that
it is a very small amount during these
days of high prices. Every room in
my house needs something."
fin Warren & 3ldckwell
Mrs. Warren Blackwell, working
under Mrs. F.. M. byfert, wi conduct
the Red Cross Christmas week mem
bership drive through all the women's
organizations of the city a gigantic
task lor any one less competent than
Mrs. Blackwell.
Mrs. Blackwell organized this work
for the Liberty loan campaign. She
is a Vassar alumna and active in the
Fine Arts and Drama league.
Very well! Let's talk it over.
If every room in your house needs
something. $200 will not reach very
far if your selections are made care
lessly. In most every home there is a lack
of taste. Not because women are in
tentionally careless, but because there
are a thousand and one other duties
consuming their time so there is no
leisure in which to study decorations,
effects, harmonies, etc.
Most every reputable retail estab
lishment where house furnishings are
sold a high salaried interior decorator
is employed to assist housekeepers in
refurnishing their homes. This man
is sent to you free of charge, and
J these are some of the things iie is able
to do:
Twist and turn furniture to suit
the size and style of eacli room. It
may he necessary to take a piece from
the music room to tit the reception
hall; it is quite possible that he may
switch your bedroom furniture; oft
times he brings up a discarded chair
or odd piece from the basement to
be recovered and stained to match or
liarmonize with other bits of scenery,
but when he finishes one realizes that
it isn't dollars that make beautiful
homes, but brain a brain trained to
plan interior decorations.
But, first of all, be perfectly frank
with Mr. Decorator, and tell him ex
actly how., much you have to spend.
With this in mind, he does his work
more intelligently, more efficiently,
and certainly more satisfactorily to
the housekeeper.
The woman with $200 to spend has
the same right to harmonies and artis
tic decorations as the woman with
$20,000, and she has the same service
from the interior decorators if she
will but ask for him and be perfectly
frank in her dealings.

An appeal for the Halifax relief
fund was sent out from state Red
Cross headquarters today by Frank
W. Judson, director. Mr. Judson is
acting under instructions from Eliot
Wadsworth, acting chairman of the
central committee.
Ked Cross offices throughout the
country are requested to receive all
money contributions offered for this
fund. The Red Cross chapters will
not make special aooeals for this r.
lief fund but accept such funds as
people donate to this relief. Money
so accepted should be designated for
the permanent Halifax relief.
The Red Cross relief committee has
been in Halifax since Saturday morn
ing after the catastrophe and is co
operating with government officials
and the citizens' committee in giving
relief. The society made abundant
contributions of blankets, hospital
equipment, new clothing, medical sup
plies, surgical dressings, glass and
other material emergently needed and
will pay for these supplies out of its
own funds. The Red Cross has also
sent a staff of 100 doctors, ISO nurses
and 50 social workers, all carefully
selected and organized into a work
ing unit. All those in responsible po
sitions in Halifax advise that the per
sonnel and material now there or on
the way will fully meet the present
temporary needs. The Red Cross
offices should not accept supplies of
any kind at the present time the
helpful gift now is money to be ex
pended by responsible committees in
charge.
A number of attractive young soci
ety girls will se!' Red Cross hand
lotion in Brandeis and Burgess-Nash
stores Saturday. The funds from th
sale will be used to bay Christmas
packets for the soldiers at Fort Crook
and Fort Omaha.
