t. TWO. THE SALEM CAPITAL JOUHNAL, SALEM, OREGON, SATUSDAY, DECEMBER 2(5. 1011. SOCIAL, CLUB AND MUSSCAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK 1 CHRISTMAS day for 1934, alas, is a matter of history, and what a beautiful day it was! .Everybody celebrated the festival appropriately, which means that, while the plans of some were necessarily moro elaborate than those of others, there was not one home in the city where an observance of some kind was not possible. Who has not read with delight tho stories of English country house parties nd dreamed of some day enjoying such a bit of merry-making as is so fascinat ingly set forth with the surroundings of fine old mates and the hospitality that always seems the most perfect hospitality in tho world! With plenty of spac and plenty of the good things of earth, and plenty of the spirit that is moro than houses or lands or anything purchasable, what more delightful way of entertain ing could there be than assembling congenial friends for a few days and spend ing the time in merriment and holiday fun! Hundreds of Halcm homos were opened in this way, relatives and friends com ing from near and far to form happy house parties for the holidays. And while those who are moro fortunate are celebrating in this moro festive way, we arc forced to admit the want and in some instances actual poverty exists in our own city, but the knowledge of our charitably inclined people and organiza tions assures us that these will all be properly cared for during the time of their necessity. However, at its worst our distress is so trivial to that of hundreds and thousands in Kurope, and when yesterday wo read the dispatches from the war zone, relating the pathetic attempt at celebruting the day in the countries Vhere the Star was obscured by the smoko of battle and the angelic.nithem could not be heard for the noise and din of conflict, we were filled with a feeling of profound gratitude, and any complaint which we might be inclined to nyike was changed instead to a song of thanksgiving. THE past week was given over al most entirely tu the little folk and iho boys and girls home from col lege. Society, joined with tho various charitable organizations in doing deeds of philanthropy, and many homes were made happy by needed gilts, whose don ors will never bo' inndo known. The younger set, joined by dozens of college and out-of-town friends, always has a good tbno, ami with the ice on the Willamette slough several inches thick this diversion offered n foremurt at traction, and also to inuny of the older folks as well. Tho "Christmassy" weather of the past woek has been ideal for gather ing Christmas trees, decorative green ery and spleitdid clusters of tlio berry laden mistletoo. Li roups uf merry young folk could be seen daily on uny uf the roads lending from Sulcm, in walking and auto parties, in quest of tho beautiful evergreens, .colorful foli Hgo anil rose tips which assisted so largely in bearing out the spirit of the day. A number of Salem homes displayed sturdy little trees and appropriate dec orations, as the result uf an expedition into tho country by a .group of high snhool teachers, pupils and university students Thursday, Composing this party were Miss Kinily Calmer, Miss Ilegina Long, Miss Enid Elliott, Miss Ruby Kuinadcll, Miss Marie Kumsdcll, . I). Heck, Willelt Rnmsdoll, Harold Kakin and Dunn Elliott of the t.'ni vorsity of California.

Yttlettile greens mnile the rooms n most attractive setting for the puests, who have devoted their prc-liol-itlay sessions to fashioning gifts. Ow ing to tho festival of Christmas and New Years claiming general attention, tho next date for club meeting has been postponed until the Saturday fol lowing January first, when Miss .hi Htooklon will be at home to the mom bers.
