Devoted to Art of Entertaining Etiquette of Entertaining, Home, School, Club and Church Entertainments. Inquiries for Advice and Suggestions Answered by Personal Letter. For the first time In the history of highway conferences in this country several women who are actively cn-. gaged in road work will have an im portant part in the meetings of the twelfth American .Good Koads Con g! ess in Chicago during January iT to "50. In extending its invitations to those prominently identified in the nation's read development, ihe Ameri can Road Builders' Association, under whose auspices the congress is being hold, ascertained that women are in vading, in a very substantial manner, the field of road construction, which h:;s hitherto- been exclusively confine.

Greeting and a Card Party. 1 As the end of the old year approach- es I am besieged with inquiries for the! celebration of the new year's advent. So close do events follow one another that in this age of hurry, one has scarce ly time to bid a departing friend fare well before preparations for the new and untried guest are well under way. In passing, just a word may this be the dawn of the very best year in all our history, and the most prosperous one for every reader of the department. Madame Merri is more than gratified by the many notes of thanks she has re ceived: and she hopes to be able to sup ply th ewants of every one, young and old, rich and poor, who may need her assistance in planning any kind of an entertainment. The good book says: "A merry heart doeth good like a medi cine." That is-surely what we all need, for "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. We can all at least try during this coming year to keep our hearts merry. It sounds easy, "but it will often prove hard when everything goes, wrong. So here it is to you all for a right merry Christmas and happy New Tear. The following is a suggestion for a card party to be given on the night of the 1st of January. To keep the score the guests -are to be given key rings on which tiny bells are to be strung as the games are won. The prizes are to be handsome calen dars. Partners are to be found by draw ing the ribbons from a Jack Horner pie, from which the favors will be matched. The decorations will be holly and mistletoe, with quantities of scarlet, white and green bells. The ices are to be frozen in bell-shaned molds and the small iced cakes are to be in the same shape. tin salads, hot rolls, olives, celery sticks stuffed with cheese, coffee, choco lates, salted nuts, bondons and a frozen eggnog or an ice make up a delicious menu. Serving Refreshments. I have read of your help to others and I am now asking for some for myself. I belong to a lodge that consists of men and women, young and old. would'like to plan some sort of a party for them that would be different, espe cially in serving Refreshments. There will be about forty present. I would like something all could do. E. M. A. "With so many I think refreshments served cafeteria style is always good fun and that gives the men a chance to be of service. I also think if you re quested1 everyone to come wearing something- to represent their favorite fad, hobby or ambition and tell its mer its in three minutes, I am sure you will find this makes an out of tne ordinary party. ACTIVITIES OF CLUB WOMEN By C. S. P. Which Color? The next important event to take' place at the Woman's club will be the New Year reception, which will be held from 4 p. m. to 10 p. m., Monday, Jan uary 2nd. Invitations will be sent this week to all club members and their husbands to attend. An invitation has been extended to the State President, Mrs. Sidney P. Cooper, and it is very probable she will be here. Those re ceiving will be the officers, department chairmen, standing committees, and the club house committees. The affair promises to eclipse all previous events in club life soclailv. GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT The club president, Mrs. Reilley has sent the following letter to the mem bership in the form of Christmas greet ings: "My dear Club Women: Merry Christmas to each and all of you! This should be a particularly joyous time fo rail of us, for we are just now looking once more toward the .sound building of world peace. All of these things for which we have been working so long, education, public wel fare, the progress of the fine arts are absolutely dependent on this issue. "The great peace conclave in Wash ington would never have been held, a good many people believe, if the women of America had not attained full citi zenship. Now that the congress is in session, American women are active members of our delegation and of the playing in the world's program of peace in which we are rejoicing today, but it also lays a great obligation upon us. which must permeate all our relations with one another and with the world. Our abilitv to help is the measure of our responsibility. Very sincerely yours, LAURA HOLMES REILLEY, Pres. Charlotte, Woman's Club.
