upon which many tiny skaters were
enjoying themselves.
The favors consisted of white
bells filled with bon-bons while the
place cards inclnuded a verse of
Christmas cheer.
After the dinner several neigh-
bors gathered and enjoyed the after-
noon listening to the victrola.
The guests for the dinner were
Misses Nina Stratton, Grace Mc-
Gregor, Beatrice Markham and Mr.

AN' UNFAILING RECIPE FOR
BEA UTY.
No longer is there any need of I
beauty doctors, nor of specialists to
give in the pages of the big dailies
recipes warranted to make clear and |
beautiful the most homely face. Lil-
lian Russell is no longer needed for
the most entrancing beauty and the
most delicate of complexions may be
obtained by any and everyone who |
partakes liberally of peas.
Such is the disinterested state-1
ment of a large pea grgower and
canner. made at a recent state con-
vention of men whose lives are de-
voted to the raising of that delicious,
wholesome and health and beauty I
giving vegetable. Apparently the
result is the same no matter in what |
form the peas are eaten. You may
eat them raw off the vine (which I
would be getting back to nature) or
boiled fresh or canned or when con-
verted into tasty and sustaining pea |
soup.
Of course some sceptics will scoff I
and say that the man who gave the
advice, being a pea grower, was sim-
ply trying to boost his trade. Perish
the thought. Anyway, peas are a
simple diet and many, very many |
folks would be all the better if they
got back to the simple life in food |
and in other things.
By the way, the pea grower has I
biblical authority for his recipe, for
didn't Daniel confine himself to peas,
beans and other simple food, and Is
it not recorded of him and of his
conipanions that "their countenances!
appeared fairer and fatter in flesh
than all the children which did eat
the portion of the king's meat?"|
The moral of It all is as clear as
hearts of the pupils swell with joy
and the distribution closed the aft
| ernoon's program.
Everyone present reports a splen-
| did time.
Fine, clean and fat corn-fed chick-
ens for sale. Hens 9 cents, broilers

A perfect telephoue s\
is the goal of the PioueeiX
and Telegraph company, aniV
end the company is now engaV
an advertising campaign whiehN
interest to every person using a tele-
phone.
These advertisements deal mostly
up to this time, with the girls at the
switchboard, for it is with them'that
the public comes into conversational
contact. The success ol the service
depends upon the ability of the
girls at the central office only to a
certain extent. The person using a
telephone in Just as much a factor.
The girls will do their part. They
are selected on account of their
clearness of voice, their courtesy and
intelligence, anl trained to do the
work/. The telephone company lis
now trying to educate the public to
do it« part. Consult the director
first, talk distinctly into the trans-
mitter, acknowledge the repetition
ol tlie number these are some of
the requisites of success.
There is education iii aihwtl

Sixteen persons will receive the
Democrat and Arrow this year at.
Christmas presents from ftfiends.
Most of them live at a distance and
the papers are mailed to them at
the orders of relatives and friends in
ind near Tahlequah. When you
come to think of it, a newspaper
makes a very appropriate Christmas
gift and one that will be remembered
twice each week throughout the en-
tire year. It's Just like a letter and
certainnly appreciated.
You may seek to realize the Ideal,
"nd you may seek to Idealize the real.
This Is not a mere change in word-
ing but expresses two very different
ways of using life. Both are good
