 Georgia, a dark-oyed, flaXen-haired beauty of years. wants to visit some nlce people for that length of time. Georgia is said to be as gentle and sweet as she is pretty, and Miss Kosalie Philpot, assistant secretary os the Associated Charities, is cer- tain that Georgia's presence would make any home brighter at this holiday season.
 The child's predicament is due to the illness of her mother, who is in 9 sanitarium. The lady with whom she has been stopping was called away by the illness of her own mother, and could not take Georgia with her. However, she thinks so r1uch of the little girl she wants her Lack upon returning to the city
 That's how it happens that you may have little fairty in your home f': a fortnight, if you communicate quickly with the Charities.

 New York, Dec. At is entirely the rich mans fault if his wife spends large sums of money each year. My husband always insisted on giving unique entertainments which cost thousands of dollars. The rich men of this city spend far more than their wives, although they spend the money in ways that are not so apparent. If it were not for the men society wo- men would not spend quarter of what they do. Spending money is just a habit" This is the opinion of Mrs. Blanche A. w. Heye. who was award- cd $2O,O0O year alimony year ago when she divorced George G. Heye, the millionaire banker. At the time she asked for $50,O0O a year alimony for herself and her two children, say ing that it was utterly impossible to exist on $2O,000 a year without piling up debts. One years experience has convinced Mrs. Heye that she was wrong. She has not only lived in the style to which she was accustomed but actually saved goodly part of her alimonty during the last twelve months.
