SOME CHRISTMAS CARDS

We return many thanks to Mrs.
Lou Ella Green, of Floral City, Fla,
for a Christmas box from the land
Of flowers 1t was just little box,
but everything in it was sweet and
dainty and dear. At the bottom was
little tangerine orange and above
it a cluster of the sweetest little
roses, deep red and sea-shell pink,
and among them various little ferns
and rainbow moss and cuttings Of
foliage plants. There was also a let
ter in an oiled paper envelope with
a check renewing her subscription.
Her letter closes with: You never
can know what comfort the dear Old
Journal is to a Cobb Countyite in a
strange land With Christmas greet
ings and compliments of the esason."
The petals Of the roses have been
placed in a handkerchief box, in
which will be kept the daintily en-
broidered handkerchiefs sent by 9th
er friends of the editor.
Mrs Georgiana K. Sullivan, who
is still in New York, remembered
me with a dainty little red card
adorned with sprays of holly and
this pretty sentiment and comfort
ing truth:
Thine and space cannot divide
Loving hearts at Christmas tide"
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Mortimer
Durant, of Atlanta, and also other
Atlantians, sent their Christmas
Greetings and good wishes on a big
white card elegantly engraved.

ments of the season in two boxes IF
Radium hose that exactly fit my
two grown sons, and a good Samac-
itan in New York, who hobnobs

I ietta, mother and daughter, sent
their good wishes together in a box
Of luscious fruit cake, redolent with
the aroma of good cheer and the
spicy fragrance of Christmas din
ners The memory will linger and a
fruit cake in tin box never grows
stale.
Another little lady in Atlanta sent
a box of the usual fruits and nuts
with lots of pound cake and turkey
sandwiches and jars of preserves AMI
jelly to be pigeon holed for future
reference.
One card, all golden stars and
holly, with a big white star in the
center did not need even the letters
C. B. to reveal the identity of the
modest little violet Of a woman who
is fair as star when only one IS
shining in the sky in the minds
eye Of countless friends. She is the
embodiment Of happiness, too, and
good to think about because she is
always so busy in doing some kind
deed or making something pretty
and useful for her friends. | would
be afraid to say how many children
regard Aunt Carrie" as their pa
tron saint as well as an ever sympa-
thetic helper out of troubles.
The most lasting Of all Christmas
membranes, however, is a little
volume of poetical quotations witn
the title "Pansy Blossoms" and many
clusters of those dear little flowers
illustrating it, The giver is poet
and emphasizes this sentiment:
Just as the pansy petals fold
Closely about their hearts Of gold,
So in these pages may there be
EMBODIED golden thoughts for theel"
She may rest assured that every
line in the little book will be like
the petal Of a flower that can never
fade in the eyes of this reader at
least.

MIR. sQUIREs' CHRISTMAS GIFT

Mr.. ]. N. Squires probably re-
ceived a number of gifts, but we
dare say nothing he appreciates
more than a certain pocket knife he
showed us few days ago. The
knife has only two blades and is not
therefore loaded with half a dozeI
little implements in one handle. 1t
is better than merely useful tool,
however, because on one side Of the
handle are the faces of Mr.. Squires
and his wife, with realistic loco
motive between them, and on the
other side ST inscribed his name and
the date Dec. rs, 1913.
Mr. Squres lives on Kennesaw ave-
nue. and will be II years old next
February. He has been an engineer
on the w. & A. railroad for forty
two years and has never had a seri-
GUS accident and not the least mis-
hap for which he could be blamed,
He does not look like man who
could manage a great machine pull
ing a train of cars until we reflect
upon the triumphs of mind over mat
ter. He is a small man, but full OF
life, interested in current events and
looks as if he intends to remain Ia
the wheel" for many years to come.
And here's hoping he may do so.

ENTERTAINMENTS FOR MISS
JEAN WALLACE IN THE WEST

In looking over the Fort Smith
dailies we are pleased to note that
our own Miss Jean Wallace was
much petted belle during her recent
visit 10 the West.
Among many beautiful entertain
ments given in her honor was a CO..
tillion by Miss Lucille Harris. The
decorations as described give one
some idea of the beauty of the scene
| on this occasion. In the ballroom
where the receiving party stood the
decorations were in Southern smilax
| and pink wisteria, the other rooms
in the clubhouse being afame with
| huge chrysanthemums and pink
roses. Miss Wallace was dressed in
pink charmeuse with a crystal tunic.
and carried an armful of Killarney
roses.
Another description OF a very
beautiful party was at Jolly" the
| elegant country home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin. This account reads
like Fairyland, with live canaries
/ and butterflies flying to and fro to
make, if possible, the scene more
enchanting, Miss Wallace, receiv-
ing with Miss Martin, debutante
of this season, was dressed in a
white brocade crepe meteor with sill
yer trimmings and carried yellow
chrysanthemums.
Perhaps the happiest event of all
during her stay in Fort Smith was a
beautiful dinner party given to Miss
Wallace and her classmates, Miss
Nuzum, Miss Harris, Miss Wick and
Miss Harper, by Mr.. Wood Neither
land, at the Goldman Hotel. Mr..
Netherland, knowing of these girls
loyalty to Agnes Scott, made this an
A. S. c. dinner, carrying out the
colors of this college in all the deco
rations, the flowers being Parma VIC
let's and white carnations, and the
favors beautiful carved ivory fans,
NACu win pun PIE IIDDOuSt III LdCIt
nothing was overlooked in making
every detail suggestive of the girls
favorite college.
After leaving Fort Smith after a
perfect round of gaieties Miss Wal
lace stopped for a ten-days' visit to
Miss Nuzum. The Nuzum home is
beautiful Colonial mansion and is
one of the show places of Tuscaloosa,
and from the Tuscaloosa Times We
see the same attention lavished upon
her here.
Mrs. Beverly Head, who was Miss
Charlotte Barton, formerly of Mari
eta, entertained for Miss Wallace
at her attractive bungalow home on
Ninth street, and in the account of
this delightful entertainment Miss
Wallace, the guest of honor, is
spoken of as "a strikingly handsome
young girl who is being extrava-
gantly admired among the younS
society set, and on this occasion she
was regal in black charmeuse, the
smart brocade velvet coat opening
over a shadow lace blouse, and she
wore with this costume a picture
hat of black velvet with turquoise
blue plumes."

Hints About Sewing

Alcohol is a fine thing to take old
oil and dust out of sewing machine.
Hold small piece of absorbent cot
ton in a small pair of pinchers and
dip it in the alcohol and with it one
can easily reach in around the cogs
and wheels
When drawn work wears out, sew
a piece of insertion over il and cut
the goods away froc under.
A good way to find where to join
a waist and skirt is to put the waist
on, tie down with tape, then arrange
as you want it, then mark with a
piece of chalk at the top of the
string. Now trim of one-half inch
below mark and join to skirt. For
a high waist line trim off one or
two inches above chalk line, or as
high as You want skirt.
When working button holes in dark
material rub over with white chalk
after cutting; one can easily see
where to put the next stitch on the
white background. Use colored chalk
for white goods.
When it is necessary to patch any
thing that is double, such as a trou-
sers leg, turn the garment inside out
and put a piece of cardboard be-
tween the goods under the hole.
Spread it out smooth on table and
haste patch on; the cardboard will
prevent the other side of garment
from being stitched fast to hole and
the patch will be in proper place to
go on and sew down.--C1eveland Sum-
day Plain Dealer.

Harpswell they were hardly suitable
for a great city like Portland. He
had already passed many little shops
where clothing was displayed for sale
on Commercial street; but had not
been impressed with the class of
goods offered.

gued
So, leaving Commercial street. he
began to reconnoitre other thorough
fares, until he finally found a tailor
ing establishment that carried q
stock of fairly good grade Here
he secured a neat and lresentabl
suit for Ave dollars. With the re-
naming three dollars he purchased a
hat, shirt and necktie; and. having
arrayed himself in this finery. walked
out of the store proud and penniless.
And now he experienced for the
first time the influence stylish Clothes

dressed as a country lad he had not

to walk TO his destination.
He was now in the business section
of the city and was amazed at the
number and size of the buildings.

Nor could he understand why each
store he passed offered a special line
of goods to the consumer. In the
general store, at CuIdy's Harbor,
one could buy hardware. groceries,
drygoods. paints and oils. patent me-
dicines-in short, everything that 4
purchaser might ask for. Here the
needs of the people were catered to
by different purveyors. One could
not purchase groceries from the dry
goods merchant. nor hardware al
the paint shop. and every shopkeeper
advertised the particular line Of mer-
chandise he dealt in by means Of
large, painted signDoards.

The Belmont hurriedly got the
American cutter, who hastily started,
while the Belmont signaled to New

help the two other ships. The Bel
mont had a crew of fifteen strong
men whom Mr.. Belmont armed with

Half the crew were detailed TO one

When the ship was reached the
American cutter had been there be-
fore the Belmont and was helping,
but still against odds.
When the Chinese saw the turn OF

preparing to give themselves up. but
on seeing the Belmont was only a
small addition, they continued the
fight.
Some Chinese boarded the Belmont
and promptly visited the happy hunt

Toward shutdown two British fishing
sloops armed with English soldiers
appeared, and on seeing the turn OF
affairs the Chinese surrendered. in
reality this time. The leaders, who
were white men, were put in jail for
long terms, and the Belmont was
handsomely rewarded. The English
and Americans had lost a man apiece
and many wounded, but they were
happy. On the l4th of May the Bel
mont touched New York harbor and
landed. Then excitement reached its
height. War with Spain had started
and the Belmont because OF her val
liant service was called on as q boat
to carry messages for the American
fleet. More exciting adventures were
due for her and her owner and cap
tain before another year. At New
York the Belmont was armed with
guns. pistols, swordss cannon, etc.
for defense in the Philippines and
West Indies.

Continued from saturday,

As the schooner drew nearer to the
city he could see the workmen mov-
ing about the wharves and on the
decks of vessels, unloading and TAX
ing on cargo, and citizens hurrying
along the streets intent upon their
various occupations. There were
carts and drays innumerable; while
now and then curiously con-
structed car rushed by without any
visible means of propulsion. 1t was
all very amazing and confusing.
At last the Osprey effected land
ing beside a long wharf and the coun-
try boy realized that the time had ar
rived for him to sell his clans and
pay for his passage from Harpswell.
But. when he preached the subject TO
Wat Smith, he seemed indignant. as
suring Tommy that he was not the
sort of skipper to rob an unfortunate
boy who was on his way to join his
mother, and that whatever money he
got for his CLAIMS he could consider
his own.
"Ye'n find a market for EN- at

having directed the boy to the place,
babe him goodbye.
In order to reach Boothby's Tommy
was obliged 10 pass along CONNER
cial street. the busy thoroughfare that
skirts the water front of Portland.
He made the journey with eyes and
mouth wide open; for never before
had he encountered such strange
looking people and marvellous shops.
He passed ship chambers shops. STOP
shops, cheap eating houses. tobacco
stores, sailmakers' lofts, pawn shops
and sailors boarding houses, in front
of which loitered seafaring men OF
every nationality under the sun
negroes, Cinnamon. Japanese. Las
cars, together with Portuguese and
men OF other European countries.
He was so bewildered by the nov
city of 1t all that. when he arrived
at Boothby's factory and told the su-
perintendent that he had a shipment

condition to barter for a price, but
accepted the first offer made. The

to the Osprey to look over the ship
ment and. finding 1t as represented
paid him eight dollars for his entire
stock.
It was the first money Tommy had
earned in his life and he felt exultant
