'Hie social calender for the week
past has been extremely dull as far as
social activities are concerned. Dec
ember being the Holiday month is
looked upon by house wives as the
hardest month of the year. The mak
ing the selecting the buying of pres
ents and a thousand and one things
that must be looked after keeps her
extremely busy..Nor is the coming
week any more promising. There were
a few parties planned by the younger
set but the excitement of the Christ
mas Holidays have some what upset
their plans and the only thing that
looks op in the immediate future is
the Community Xmas Tree and the
Firemen's Masquerade Ball, but as
Pollyanna says ‘We’re glad we've got
that to look forward to.’

The eternal question that has con
fronted a woman ever since she has
had two colors to choose from has
been what shall I wear ? Although she
will have ample time to prepare, plan
ind make a costume for the forthcom
ing Masquerade Ball she will do as
she has always done in the past, wait
until the last minute and arrive at the
Hall the night of the dance in some
fluffy ruffle stuff and her eyes shin
•ng with excitement with a determin
ation to enjoy herself as long as th -
music lasts and do her part in makir.;
this annual Masquerade Ball a bi:;
success, as it deserves to be.
The dance to be given in the Odd
Fellows Hall this evening is advertis
ed as a Malamute and also a Leap
Year Dance. We are not very mucli in

anyway.’ Of course this being a Leap
Year Dance it will give the ladies a
chance which will help some .

PERT PARAGRAPTHS OF SENSE
AND NONSENSE FOREIGN AND
. LOCAL, CAUGHT ON THE
FLV BY “THE HUMAN
I TOOTHPICK *'
I Say fellers:— Listen to me just one
minute. There ain't a darn one among
! you who is so all fired sour andpessi
mestic that he can't enjoy seeing a
kid have a good time and furthernfore
there ain't one of you that can't get
along without skimping if you were to
seperate yourself from one big iron
man or the half of one. Now don't pre
tend that you can't understand what
I’m driving at, you can all read and
write and you all know perfectly well
there is going to be a Community Tree
in this little old burg on Christmas
Eve and furthermore you know that to
make it a grand success it is neces
sary to have the amount of $U00.00.
Now listen. Don't get it into your head
that some millionaire in Seward is j
iroimr to donate this entire amount.!
He ain’t , cause there’s no such ani
mal livin’ here and besides if there
was we wouldn’t let him kick in with
t he whole amount cause this is a Com
munity affair not arf individual affair.
Xow let this seep into your mind and
after it seeps in put your hand down
n jour pocket and grab a piece of
.hunge and slip it into one of the Com
munity Tree donation boxes. Don’t
mattei if its only a dime or two bits,
let it jingle.
You simply gotta help make this
Community tiee the biggest success of
Jte year and you can’t help by sitting
hack and waiting for George to do it.
There; ain’t one of you old timers, or
you youmr timers who can honestly
ay ym don’t like children. If there is,
umething is radically wrong with j’ou.^
• f you *au sincerely say that you
den’t give a damn whether the kids
have a Community Tree or not you
:re al*. oluMy worthless. You should
l»>e ii< r me in jumping^ off the dock
,vi?h a rope around your neck, a ivpt.;
.hat has a two hundred pound we ght
on the cnhei end.
Ao\v#ji'trn We don’t ever want to
chink that wc have in our community
a gink who has no use for children
and even if we have to think that
there are some we never want to know
vvho they are cause we would feel duty
bound to see that they were removed.
We have the finest bunch of Kiddies j
in Seward that can be found in any!
town in Alaska and we're going to j
give.’em a Community Tree that will i
make them all happy. This is Saturday j
night and tomorrow is Sunday. There j
are four big donation boxes waiting
Tor you to drop your mite into them.
One is at the Key, one at the Northern
one at Sylvia’s and one at the Seward
Drug Store. No chance for you to say
that you couldn’t find one. No chance
for you to say the place was closed.
No chance for you to sidestep unless
you are a real down right ornery cuss.
I v250.00 more are needed. Tonight and
tomorrow you can contribute to this
amount through the medium of the
Donation boxes. You’ll pass one of 'em
| when you go in to play that game of
! pool or cards, when you drop in to
quench your thirst or buy a cigar or a
Christinas present A nickel, a dime,
, a quarter. Any amoun} up to one dol
lar. Move if you feel like giving it.
Tisn’t necessary^ to give more than a
dollar if every one of you will do your
part What do you say? Let's make
the boxes jingle tonight and tomor
row. It can be did if you’ll help. Don't
be a piker. Don't be a grouch. Start
ing Monday the different committees
^ill start a personal convass. Blake
their task easy by contributing tonight
and tomorrow. For the Kiddies of
Seward. The Community Tree. Every
body do it Let's go. #

BREEZES
It has been estimated that only
forty percent of the expressions of the
average individual comes through the
voice while sixty per cent can be found „
in the walk, the toss of the head, the
twinkle of the eye or the various
movements of the body; and methinks
a very large part of the sixty comes
through the eye.
Tonight will be a good night to give
the town the once over. Drop into the
Seward News Co., and look at the
books. Books for the young and old.
Nothing so apropriate as a good book
for a Christmas gift. George has 'em.
Wander over to the Alaska Shop and
inspect the variety of suitable gifts
they have for Christmas. If you can't
find what you want among the stock
there, meander into the Seward Drug
C* Hrlf * ay back in the store you
will see a glass case. On the left hand
side. T.ook at the articles in this case.
Some gifts. The wives and sisters and
sweethearts of the men and boys will
bo particularly interested in this dis
play. Visit the Broadway Shop and
Sylvia's on your way home.
