Invitations Are Recalled.

Oh, well, almost every family knows
what it means when the mother is
down sick. especially family where
there are no servants There is ira
dition that when the British marched
out of Yorktown to surrender to the
ragged continentals their band played
a then-popular air entitled 'The World
Turned Upside Down." 1 think that
song must have been written by some
man of family whose wife got sick on
Christmas morning.
The first thing 1 did when I saw how
the land lay was to hustle over to Mr..
Browns, from where I could telephone
to the city and cancel the invitation to
the Turner's and the Robinsons. who
had been asked to have Christmas din
ner with US. They were very nice about
it, and said they'd get together and go
to restaurant for dinner. They pro-
fessed, of course, to be greatly disap-
pointed. and no doubt they were. But
they would have been a great deal
more disappointed had they Journeyed
out to Sunny Knoll to dine.
Gobbler Is Still at Large.
The turkey gobbler, which was to
have graced the festal board. is still

We had stayed up until long after
Christmas eve merged into Christmas
morn decorating the tree. so the chill

mother being able to help enjoy the

/ Berlin, Nov 16.-'War marriages

of marriages for Berlin this year

marry on the eve of their departure

August 2-S. 3,941 marriage contracts
were made, of which the largest
number was due to the outbreak OF
the war The first seven months OF
1914, showed ll,620 marriages as
against 11,62O in 1918.
1t is believed here that the number
of marriages in Berlin due to the war
is not far below 4,500. Some of them
had been planned for the autumn ana
winter seasons, and it is expected
that for this reason the average for
these months will fall below normal
This has already been demonstrated
by the records for September, in
which month $40 marriages took
place as against 1882 in September
1918. For 1914, up to and including
September, the number of marriages
IS 1886 as against 14,761 for the
same period of 1918.
