Everybody—grown-ups and youngsters eel differently while facing the Christ-nas season.College boys and girls are hastening lome from out-of-state; many teachers scattered over north and south Louisi-ine are looking forward to the day when heir train leaves headed for Ruston, vhere a warm welcome is being prepared.Downtown all is hurry and jam and ndecision over purchasing. Some willing the season was over and forgotten, some planning to run away from the vorry of it another year, and not a few diinking of it as a real burden.And what is hapehing here is happening in every city, town and village ■hroughout the Christian world.

The Occasion was the meeting of the Pierian Club with Mrs. G. W. Bond and Mrs. R. B.

D. Wilson, Mrs. W. R, Robinson and Miss Helen Graham in charge. This was sufficient to arouse interest and twenty-nine club members answered roll call, with the confident assurance that this was no ordinary ciub meeting, Nov was their confidence misplaced.Some important business was transacted and a lively discussion enjoyed as to the merits of the ten flowers which are candidates for the honorable position of National Flower. Preferences were expressed for the golden-rod, the American beauty rose and the dogwood. A greater number favored the golden-rod, as it is found in every state of the union and easiiy grown.When the time for the regular program came, the attention of all was arrested by the sound of sweet voices from an unseen choir, softly singing, Silent Night1'—that ever beautiful carol. ‘‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” followed. The ciub soon, learned that these sweet singers were Prof. Hasklh’s glee club of Tech girls.A reading from Myra Kelley, entitled, “A Christmas Present for a Lady, fuii of humor and pathos, was delightfully given by Mrs. V. C. Cupp, then a quartette from the Glee Club entered the room and sang, “On Christmas Night,” in a most charming manner.Miss Haskins favored the club with a beautifully rendered voilin solo, “E’logie by Gril Scott.

Isn’t it a wonderful thing to have this fine family of growing boys and girls? All too soon they will grow up and we shall not be able to do these things for them but we will get a great satisfaction out of knowing that our care has given them healthy bodies and minds.Personally, I think the care of children and a home is not nearly so monotonous as some of the business jogs. I really can't see anything terribly varied or exciting in getting out a hundred form letters for a firm. Could anything be more monotonous? And yet I have hoard some mothers greet their stenographer daughters as they return home from a hard day’s work with a recital of ail their household troubles and immediately turn the cleaning up over to daughter.There are many, many things we wives and mothers have to be thankful for. Not having the responsibility of making the living for the family is a greater blessing than most of us realize until we have Jt to do. Having a family is a greater joy than we appreciate just at present. Oh, I can think of numbers and numbers of things for the average housewife to be thankful.LOUISA.including projects to cember, will be unde first of the year, the I commission has mad completed and p:i Imrdsitrfiued roads £ following the inaugur road program in the six paving cm)tracts tract December 1, tinThe following pavii as wholly or partial!; travel:Between Hainmonc miles.
