Tomorrow is the day of all days
of the year, for which we have
worked and planned and hoped, and
the one wherein we expect to see our
dreams of reunion with our families
and our friends rtallzed. For most
of us there will be happy realization,
but, for some of us there will be only
silence, lonllness and &/vacant chair.
How the memories of absent dear
ones come trooping in at thla season
of the year! Whether they be far re
moved from us by distance, or, wheth
er they have passed out, and on, to
the brighter land, the perfumo of
memory is wafted around us and oop*
again we see their dear faces In an-
niversaries gone by as we ail shared
the pleasures of this glorious day
around pur own fireside and our own
Christmas table. Tomorrow is a day
of memories—of friendships renewed
and cemented, of hearts made glad
and of hearts made sad—memories
whose fragrance grows sweeter and
more lasting with each passing year,

Edwards' New Book.
J. Clarence Edwards, formerly of
this city, has written a new book of
vers*, now on sale at the local book
stores and. Of which the Dallas Sat-
urday Night speaks In complimentary
terms as follows:
"The Wobbly, Wink-Eyed Little
Wop.'4 Such Is the title of a charming
little book of verse by J. Clarence Ed-
wards, late of the 315th Engineers,
U. 8. A., now a resident of Dallas.
In the foreword the author says. This
bit of human nature verse Is offered
you who love the humane in nature.
Though written under military sur-
roundings the audience It found
among the civilian populace was
equally gratifying as the reception
given it by fellow soldiers.
The "hero" all through the booklet
is a dog, a nondescript, lively, alert,
loveabie mongrel. Here are the open-
ing lines:"
"You lanky, lonesome little shrimp
Tour tailors cut you kind o' skimp!
Wye, every slat's a-showln' through
The bloomln' fuzsy hide o' you.
What makes you shiver? you ain't
cold!
You'd better calm yourself and hold
That group" ot trembly little stilts
Of yours at military tilts!
I wonder what's you're doln' here.
You don't look like a volunteerl
There ain't a uniform in camp
'Ould fit you, you little scamp!
Farther along in another song to
the dog, Wop, Edwards writes:
You never seemed to lose your grip
On courtesy. You'd come and slip
Your icy little nose into
My hand when I wasn't treated fair.
And then the gloom, It wasn't there!
*****
Elks' Christmas Dance.
The Elks will have one of the most
beautiful, formal affairs of the season
in their Christmas dance to be given
at their club rooms tomorrow even-
ing, beginning at 9 o'clock. A num-
ber of out of town guests have been
Invited; there will be excellent music,
and the affair promises to be one of
the most brilliant of the season.

Mrs. McDonald Entertains.
Mrs. Edna McDonald complimented
the members of the' First Methodist
church choir with a pretty Christmas
tree loaded with inexpensive little
night, after practice for the Christ-
mas cantata. A beautifully decorated
tree loaded with Inexpensive little
gifts, all for the fun there was in
them, hung there for each guest, and,
after all had been distributed, each
member was asked to do some kind
of stunt for the amusement and enter
tainment of the others. A happy
social hour was passed in this pleas-
ing manner and the faithful, efficient
choir, which has done such excellent
■work under her supervision and in-
struction, enjoyed the relaxation af-
forded them on this happy occasion.
