It is here quoted in full: *“There are many words used in all hearts and in all languages at the very thought of Christmas—words which cluster spontaneously around the season like #o many sparkly jew- els: Love, jov, peace, fellowship, giv- ing, brotherhood. But there is one word for which we can find no place at this season and that is ‘isolation.’ For the individual whose loneliness implies no warm home with his kin or friends, to rhe nations which fear friendship with other nations, there can be no merry Christmas. “If we belong in the Christian fold our thoughts fly back from America, over the seas and mountains, through the varied countries from which our forefathers came, and finally rest in the little hill country of Judea, where, under the starlit skies, the Great Fore- father of us all was born on the first Christmas night. “On the other hand, if we belong to the great Jewish tradition or to one of the churches of the Orient, our hearts must still trace over the same way to homelands of the spirit in Asia. At Christmas there can be no such thing as national barriers. Above all, in a country which owes its very life to the courage of immigrants, we Ameri cans must think lovingly of the great humn,n family and the elder brother of us all. “At this season, when good will holds sway, have we any international ifts with which to celebrate? Yes, ermany is back in the family of na tions at Geneva. Old wrongs have been solemnly forgiven and forgotten. The Locarno treaties are a real Christ- mas gift. Every expedient for peace- ful settlement of disputes hetween the [all are sealed together as the effective pledge by which to prevent war, and all together have agreed to protect one another against the aggressor nation. “In_Uncle Sam's stocking there | should have heen a membership in she | great World Court at The Hague, but | there is still a reservation to a - vation which must be adjusted h | A nation’s hope can be realized | President the United States, in his | constitutio right and duty as Chief | Executive of the country, is hearing | the Christmas plea that he find a way | 1o bring the United < member- ship to pass. His present action per mits this, though it will only he done in answer to our wishes “l.ast Summer the wome of Eng land marched to London, asking f arhitration of all disputes instead of war, and the women of France re | ceived German tudents into their | homes that they might talk peace | together. | “As Americans let us remember that we being to the great human family. As we are rich and power ful let us be brave—brave alike to protect ourselves and to befriend others. Good fortune has made many cowards, but not at Christmas time. Let us take courage and re- joice together in the good of each Remember, with the old New FKng lander, to ‘look out and not in. to look up and not down. to look forward and not back and to lend a hand. | Ay | [LOOKING forward to the 1927 club | &4 programs, twe important meet ings appear on the local calendars in the near future.

C. U. gathering on Janu- ary 25, with headquarters at the May flower Hotel will be more in the nature of a conference than a board meeting. No program has been an- nounced vet, but it is understood that many prominent speakers, both from the organization itself and from the ranks of national executives, will ad dress the assembly. A general pro. gram of activity for 1927 will be mapped out by the temperance lead- ers in the course of the three-day session. * % ok ok "[HE field for the woman writer of the Middle West seems to he nations of central Europe Is listed and ek kkk ko ddok Aok dokok ok kok Freak Pitching The Old White Sox ************k**'k********************** A RRR AR A NN Some of the Subject Baseball Superstitions The $100,000 Infield Playing for the Championship Some Original Characters Freak Plays I Have Seen greatest along journalistic lines, ac. | ment may turn ou | sculptor 13 | | in another field than one’s own. 1734 N | 25 to 27, inclusive. | | Mrs ary 12, there will be an executive com- | mittee meeting and a meeting of the | sister | Terre cording to impressions gained hy Mre Grace Thompson Seton, national prei dent of the National League of Ameri- can Pen Women, who has just re turned from a trip to that section of [the country. “I was charmed with the many brilliant newspaper women I met in my brief staya in Indlana, Ilinois and Minnesota,” said Mrs, Seton on her return. “You know I was a newspaper woman myself once and 1 know all ahout the fascinations as well as the hardships connected | with the work. It still appeals to me the vital connection with the rushing of every day events, some tremend ously important, others just common place—hut ail taken together giving hat peculiar thrill that comes with the feeling of having one's finger on the pulse of the times.

I think it is because of the broad scape of the league,” said Mrs. Seton. “They dao not feel they are entering a duplicate organization.

In.Chicago, Mrs. Rocke- feller McCormick is honorary chair man-of the organizing committee, the appointment of which was the result of the enthusiasm aroused by the per- sonal visit of Mrs. Seton to the Chi cago membership.
