Beware of the popular, eong If you are sensatire about your, are. As a historical record of lode in recent American h*Story : nothing can compare with the eongs of the hour. You may hide your birthday spoon. I you may hush your sister's too re-1 vea'ing rem'niscences, but tempta tion will whisper In your ear when' ■ someone be tri ns to recall “Tn the Good Old Summertime." The time will come when the banana famine just now tamps nt in the song world will reveal just as certa'nly the age of i these fair flappers who today are ■ singing it at work and play, at dnwn and twilight. Contemporaneous memory will cheat them of the woman's heritage ' of prolonged youth just as “Sweet 1 Adeline'' has spo led many woman's ' plans. You alt around after dinner : in a party of friends. Some one ’ tel's how his father used to sing "My « Darling Ne'lie Gray." He p’-tures . poor Nellie on her way to Georgia. ' “there to wear her life away."

That pitiful figure and the « "restless throng" comes up vividly.' ’ Carpenters Union Enjoys Holiday Fete and Dance The Christmas holidays were us hered in with a whirlwind of merri ment by the local carpenters’ union last night when the members of the organization held a dance and gen eral entertainment tn the hall above the Wyoming bakery on West Yel lowstone avenue. Several Casper merchants were of assistance in fur nishing the elements for a fine buf fet supper which was served late in the evening. A peppy orchestra ren dered music that tanged from th old Letters to Santa Claus Reveal Juvenile Desires Kettle Fund Here Growing Many and varied are the presents requested by Casper's younger gen eration of Santa Caus who is mak ing his headquarters at the Salva tion Army hut on West Yellowstone avenue. Santa appears to have his hands pretty full if he is going to make ell the calls in Casper which he is planning on. and the Salvation Army Misses are helping him as far as possible. Four hundred fifty dollars have been received ro far through the medium of the Christ mas kettles placed on the streets. There are still further contributions t needed and the kettles will be kept l on the streets Monday in the hopes that Casper citizens will keep them I boiling. A -Christmas tree for the Mddiee ' will be held in the Army hut on Wednesday night, Santa having de cided to stay over for a day. Baskets will be given out from 2 until 4 o’clock Monday afternoon. Thooe who can possibly do so should call for these baskets, but where this cannot be done the workers have arranged to deliver them. THIS WEEK’S BOOK Bloodless to the extreme is "Ricey man Steps," the latest product of the Arnold Bennett mill. Mr. Ben net has taken a confirmed miser and a woman scarcely lees miserly and has added a touch of humanity with the introduction of Elsie, a serving woman who sheds practical ly all the light that is available at Rlceyman steps. It Is scarcely conceivable that the novel will be widely popular, in America. It is not human enough. Mr. Bennett's prestige will probably draw to it a mass of readers how ever. The length of its lease on life would also be rather a precarious 1 prediction. "Rlceyman Steps” is not a pleas- ' ant book to read. The murkiness of English fog arising from the settled ways of Englishmen hangs over It.' There Is a little love and no heroism ' with the exception of instinctive de votion to duty that Is embodied in VELOUR BEAUTY PARLOR Specializing In SOFT WATER SHAMPOOS AND YEAST FACE PACKS Suite 211, O-S Bldg—For Appointment —Phone 259-J | and you remember how it hurt you I to think of the poor thing, with all ' her Jewels and her be’.ledom, yet in ' , a cage, and how you resolved as a I i girl to forego the pleasures of this unhappy world. You will want to] tel] this. But remember! This will only lead you on to that one .about, , "Tessie. you make me feel sn badly, I why don't you turn around’ Songs that you Bang just at the time you entertained your first beau 1 are the most revealing, for the popular songs of the parlor piano are as surely a historical record as the hieroglyphics of Egypt. They, pass even ns the epochs of the cave man passed. The younger members of the party will recall "The I.ove Nest" as an old sang. Acquiesce. Do not dlaplny your memory with that one "For Tou a Rose." That was in the sentimental period of ihe popular song. If you do the party will make mental reservations of your age. Keep your eyes open when they begin to draw you out l-y ask'ng what was the first Jazx song. As soon m you mention one a young woman in the party will exclaim that she does not remember a time when there was no Jazz. Do not let the voice of the siren lure you. Steer the singing to the enduring melodies of all tlmn such as "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton" and “My Old Kentucky Home." For the person past 30 who is just bginning to be sensitive about h's age the only sure path of wisdom lies in learning the new songs. Sing eirly and late of the widespread scarcity of bnnanas and let who will be his ' torical. fashioned square dances to the latest fox trots and waltzes. Between 300 and 400 members of the carpenters' local and their famil ies gathered in the hall for the even ing's festivities, which lasted until 2 o'clock this morning. Some lively and entertaining vaudeville was obtained from taient furnished by the Columbia theater, practically all of Billie Ireland's Fol lies appearing for an interested audience after the show was closed at the theater. i Among the letters which Santa Claus has recejred through the post office betx of the Salvation Army are the following representative ■ messages! i * Dear Santa Claus. I want a train • and a teddy bear and some eam'y. i My little brother Loy wants a Buick and a black cat and old Spark Plug. i That is all." “Dear Santa Clans: I want a rag ■ dol! and cooking dishes and a trunk with close in It and a tub and wring er and a close line, close pins, a lit- i . t’e iron, and that will be all this i j time Santa Claus. I will be a real i. Sood girl.* i “Dear Santa. I been nretty good I bay and looking forward to Christ ijmas morning. I want you to bring > mo a wagon, moving picture ma chine story books, guns, new suit, shoes, tie, horn and any little thing ! you can think of. candy, nuts, or . anges." I "Dear Santa Claus: I want a tool s chest and wagon and shooting gal- J lery and n car and some candy. That is all." • the character Elsie. Even she has r been portrayed with more or less mechanical realism. Neither does "Rlceyman Steps" r answer any pressing need of the day. Its characters are too over- • drawn to contribute a moral and to 1 increase the sum of generosity in the ■ world. 1 When an author takes characters that are abnormal and constructs a - book about them it is to be expected i that the book shall hold considerable interest for the seeker of a story. I Mr. Bennett has chosen to make •j the reader despise the leading • , characters and to have no great 1 , amount of pity for one who comes I gradually to usurp the throne of in terest. Excellent characters all for a short story or for a part of a I, better book, but it seems an extrava gant waste of energy to consume nearly 400 pages relating the ®c ccntrlcitles of these remote examples i of humanltv Next Empress of Japan at Charity Work .... - |H|EL , J, ■ A '*" r fa blood, at Um* Red Cross maternity hospital.
