AROUND BY NANNIE WOMAN in search of the pirit of Christmas went up a wide flare of steps, through a circular portal that was all marble, sculpture and silence, ®nd along a corridor where the light of a star glided ber to the little town ©f_Bethlehem. Its homes were fighted and snow wwas drifted in its NAarrow streets.

Her lifelong and genuine interest in every joy or sorrow that comes to those she meets on the great road all of us are traveling, has given to her eyes and voice such steadfast friend- liness that even the Ben Adhem angel might write her down as one who loves her fellow man—and woman. The Sunday after Christmas, for one time, she had stepped from a car in Anacostia almost to collide with a young man waiting for a car that was not in sight. He was an attractive-looking young man, in well chosen clothes, and would have repre- sented every phase of prosperous life except that his feet were tangied into that old-time contortion—the grape vine twist. Miss Ben Adhem delayed her going to wherever she was bound to say to the young man, with friendliest eympathy—as if she had known him @il her life: “I am so sorry for you, son. 1 wish 1 could do something to help you.” Son touched his hat with conven- tlonal deference, and tried to express proper appreciation, It was a good intention that falled. The best he could do was to lurch forward, straighten up to sudden rigidity and take a reel to the left. While he 'was doing it the woman kept on, with & pallike intimacy: You are too fine a young fellow to be caught on the street like this. It isn't right for you to be like— it,” agreed the fallen one. “Can’t help it.” “Of course you can help it. Why, boy, you've got the making of a good and honored citizen in you. Buck up, and leave this booze stunt to poor chaps with no will power, It is your place to help them, not to be one of them—a nice boy, like you. The young man smiled sheepishly, and then sobered into a look of frown- ing inquiry, as if debating the valua- tion she was laying down. It must have had a steading effect, for aft & bit more of motherlike kindliness, he confessed in a voice that was lovably penitent—good men gone wrong are like that: “Took a fool way of celebrating Christmas. But I'm straightened out now, all right. Know why? You are 1he first good woman who ever said a kind word to me while I was drinking.

Mrs. Spengler further | stated that the Abigail Hartman Rice | Chapter had taken a box, the guests to be represented by the regent of the chapter, Mrs. Frank Morrison, mem- bers and friends. A vote of thanks was offered to Miss Theodore Adams for the courtesy extended the chapter in having the privilege of giving its annual tea dansant at her home last Thursday evening. This tea dansant is always given in honor of the many D. A. R. girls attending the univer- sities throughout the country, who are home during the Christmas holidays.

Mrs. Walker talked at length on the subject of national defense as related to the principles and ideals of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Abigail Hartman Rice Chapter, she stated, was made up of young girls, and that, youth being alert to everything that was going on, it was natural that her subject would not be entirely new to them and that she felt she could well | hold their attention. Her talk set| forth any number of facts relating to the many allied “isms” seeking to| tear down the Government with all its glorious ideals. Mrs. Frank Morrison rendered a vocal solo, “My Little 3y Sweetheart.” Mrs, Morrison was accompanied by Mrs. Spengler. Following, Mrs. Noble Newport Potts State chairman of the national de fense committee of the District, wa presented to the members. Mrs, Potts recited many stirring instances which she had experienced in connec- tion with her activities as State chair- man of the above-mentioned commit- tee.
