CHAT WITH MRS. MORRIS MARX,
 CHAIRMAN OF TEMPLE EMANUEL CHAPTER
 Hospitality

The organ is a kimbaIl and will have every modern improvement to make it the most complete of it's kind ever seen here. It will have the Chimes and all the Reed and String effects, including the Rams Horn, which is so infrequently heard in an organ
 And are the women of the Temple pay ing for the organ entirely" I-asked.
 You know the men laugh and say that women can't get along without their help" Mrs Marx smiled and said, but in this instance we are showing them that such a thing CAN be done. We have done everything ourselves, and we are awfuIly proud of it, too Another thing there is a more widespread mean ing to Birmingham as far as our new or gan is concerned, than is inferred at once. It will mean that many great or ganists can be brought here and that they will have an instrument to play on that is worthy of their art. Heretofore when organsts like the famous English organ ist, MT Gatty-Sellars, MT. Henry E. Nn- cent, and others have given recitals, II has been difficult for them to present their best programmes. because of the lack of proper instrument. We mean to turn over the organ for such. things. and have in mind many Free Organ Recitals, such as are given in New York by MT. William C. Carl. MT. Homer Norris, and the other gerat organists there. So you see the object is two-fold, in providing the Temple with this handsome organ
 "The attractions at the Bazar, Mrs. Marx continued, enthusiastically are really wonderful. The Dolls, for instance, are very handsome and the Bride and Groom will be the center of attraction in their bridal finery. This couple will be voted to the most popular child. There will be every sort of Doll imaginable, from the old Negro Mammies to the Red Cross Nurses. Our Tea Room, with the Geisha girls to serve, will be another at traction, while the Moving Pictures and the Tableaux Nivants with Mrs. B. F. Wilkerson's Readings, which Birmingham m enjoys so much, will be another feature
 And l suppose besides these attractions that some specially will be arranged for the men" l suggested
 "A Night at Monte Carlo. said Mrs. Marx, will afford the men great deal of pleasure The very name suggests all sorts of interesting things, doesn't it? And if the old saying is true that the way to reach mans heart is through his stomach, then surely the 57 or more varieties of cakes, which will be another speciality will make appeal to the mascu- line patrons of the Bazaar.
 .eThere will be dancing and Children Cotillion," Mrs Marx said in conclusion; fin fact, can scarcely think of anything that we've left out that will aford any pleasure to those who attend

 We have had for months the great honor and pleasure of working with the institution here spoken of. There is now offered an opportunity to lend substantial aid to a worthy sufferer and at the same time to be of service to some other stll- dent who is emulous to take up the work the invalid must lay down.
 Our rule that nothing can be bought er sold through the Helping Hand corner is waived in the present instance for reasons our friends will comprehend and approve. I wish it had been practicable to insert the superintendent's letter sooner. l em- brace the earliest opportunity of getting it into the printers hands.

 At the head of the Bazar. Mrs. Marx ecutive officer, and with the cooperation of her fellow workers she has done wonderful work in the planning and ar rangement of the Bazaar
 1t is a foregone conclusion that pretty woman can always accomplish nearly anything anything that she wants to, and besides being one of Brmingham's hand somest women, Mrs Marx is always so gracious and charming and lovely that a visit to the Bazar just to have little chat with her like l had the other day would be worth the price of admission. Bright, clever and very much interested in the success Of the Bazar. Mrs. Marx chattcd most delightfully."- about the plans and arrangements which have now reached a state of perfection.
 "There's bit of history that might be interesting. said Mrs. Marx, reminis- gently. "eoncerning Temple Emanu- Fl Chapter, which dates back nearly 15 years. The Chapter was one of the first. which was ever established in connee- tion with the Hillman Hospital. and fer some time the work was done in connec- ton with the Hospital Later. when the Hospital was turned over to the County, the Chatper saw the possibility of splen- | did new Temple and we set to work to do our part in connection with it's construe- ton, and we have been working ever since"
 Your particular metier," l observed, has been in connection with the organ, | has it not?'
 That Is what we are holding the pres ent Bazar for said Mrs. Marx.
 We are going to have the handsomest and the largest organ in the South, in the new Temple, and you know it takes a lot of money to buy such an instrument.

MISS CECILE RICH To Pose Peggy Tonight at the Phoenix Club

Just now the world is all interest in the approach of Christmas celebrations by so- clety and the world interested in chari- table enterprise are made known from time to time, and now comes a forecast of how New York society will notice the Yuletide.
 There is no special observance of Christ mas, says an exchange, at any of the clubs more than the putting up of Christ mas wreaths and the collections of the Christmas box for the employees and ser wants. the list of donors having been started directly after Thanksgiving At the best clubs, it is now rule that there is limit of from $5 to $10 for each mem Der, and the proceeds are divided after the holidays. At one time several of the clubs celebrated New Years Eve with an eggnogg and a set supper but the custom has generally fallen into disuse. but there is a luncheon al the Union and Metropolitan on New Years Day itself. As so many New Workers go out of town for the two holidays, even the many old fashioned Christmas family dinners have heen abandoned, although a few still cher ish the custom. Ii is now quite en regle to dine, if you are in town, at the Ritz or the Plaza, or the St. Regis or the Wal dorf or the Vanderbilt or other large ho- tels, where there are special holiday pro- grammes of music and features. In the Roman Catholic churches the midnight mass has been discontinued except at St. Andrews on Duane street and at St Francis of Assists, where there are ser vices for newspaper workers. All the va rlous charities have Christmas dinners and publications, and this year MT. Fred erick Townsend Martin, assisted by Mrs. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and others, will join the army of the santa Claus. Society will be divided in it's locale. Those owning large country and shooting estates in the Carolnas will have house parties there and others will go to Lenox and to Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa for tine winter sports.

ALCOHOL KILLS "BY INCHES"
There Is No Escape From Scientific
Fact That Moderate Drinking
is Slow Suicide.

Whenever alcohol is spoken of as

as "a slow poison" No doubt many
a boy has concluded it is not real
poison because it does not make the
beer drinker or the whisky drin1er
fall right down and die. But it kills
by inches" 1t takes thirty-one years
for moderate drinking to kill stout
young man of twenty, who is strong
enough to pass an insurance examina-
ton. 1t has by that time killed thir-
teen years out of his life. He had no
business to die till he was sixty-four

| FAvoRs oNE-PIECE DRESSES
School Principal Insists Garment
Is the Best Possible fvr the
Growing Young LAZY.

The head Of the biggest trade school
for girls in New York declares that
the present style of onepiece dresses
is the ideal costume for growing girls.
THE short-waisted style of dress,
with it's wider girth at the high waist
line and its general looseness, hang
ing straight from the shoulder, is the
ideal sort of frock for a young girl
to wear" the principal said. ut is
not only comfortable, neat, easy to
put on and simple and pretty in cut,
but it has another immense advan-
tage, bigger than all of these, al
though these should be sufficient to
recommend 1t to mothers.
TT is cut in such way that IL
girl is taught to carry herself upright,
walking with her body held properly,
and sitting erect and without SLOUGH
ing, she need wear no corset. For a
girl who must have room to grow
and to breathe right, plenty Of space
is necessity, and corset is not de-
sirable.
'The philosophy Of the dress Is
this: With a long-waisted dress, as
when girl wears skirt and a shirt
waist, the skirt is fastened tightly
around the smallest part of the body
This prevents free breathing and with
this style some kind of corset is a
necessity.
But with the waist line higher
and as large around as the largest
part of the body, as is shown in what
is called the empire style of gown,
the unpleasant small-waisted effect
the arms and looks well. If the girl
waist may be large, but it is not mo-
ticed. The skirt hangs in straight
lines from the larger line just below
the arms and looks well. II the girls
keeps her body erect and stands or
sits in a graceful, even position, the
effect is excellent without a corset
The plan would encourage girls to
take care how they stand or walk or
breathe, and this itself would be
good for them"
