GREETINGS FROM CRIMSON RAM
 BIER.

Dear Corner Friends: After having a leave of absence I am again back on duty. First of all 1 wish to thank the Editor for the yellow paper that came duly to hand. It was indeed quite surprise.
 Dottie: You are very eXcusable, but missed your smiling face very much.
 Sunshine No. ?: Yes indeed, we had quite a laugh How did you enjoy the latest stunts. Some cute members in Club No. ?, don't you think? Call some time when you are out riding, and bring Scottie with you.
 Sis Wife Mandy: Don't you think you are too hard on poor Si? Just think never again. It will be nice for him the day he is twenty-one! I am thinking on that day he will take his weeks pay and don't be surprised if he stays out all night and paints the town red. He won't be run by you then, am thinking. It could not have been buffalo hair that was on his coat he must have joined some secret or der and those you took for buffalo hairs must have come from the goat he had to ride; but I don't blame him in the least if he don't tell you all the particulars.
 PolIyanna: How did you reach home with your auto full of plants. Hope you had no mishaps. How are they progressing?
 Merry Widow: You did not tell me just where you live. Are you on the line of the trolley?
 Plain Nancy: Your letter at hand; will answer it soon.
 Lucy Acorn: Yours, too, will be an swered shortly; thanks for pretty card.
 Rural Delivery: No thank you, am not on the sick list, only little lazy and negligent.
 Mayfayre! Mayfayre! What is the matter? The last time we met you seemed to be in the best of spirits. Hope you continue so: also your chum.

Some looked just ready to fly, while others were resting. All small packages of gifts were fastened to the branches with ribbons tied in butterfly bows, the whole making a very pretty tree.
 A Snow Tree is very dainty. No color is used, for the branches are thrown on to look like snow. Long strands of silver tinsel are caught from branch to branch. and a few pure white candles are used.
 If you can get glass drops to re- semble icicles the tree is more beau tiful. Presents should be hung on the tree by pure white ribbon Gold and white also make a good combination, and you can use gay ornaments with the snow-covered effect

In this way you get a tree decorated for almost nothing, and the children have the fun of making the ornaments.
 Another Tree was trimmed with nothing but tinsel and tinsel orna- ments. brilliant things that caught every bit of light so well that candles were dispensed with, the tree sparkled with ropes of tinsel. silver balls. and silver ornaments, and over the entire tree was scattered lavishly quantities of silver dust.
 I have in mind several more ideas but fear my letter is getting too long.
 l wish the Editor and Sisters all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

HUERTA MAY PACE
BROADWAY TONIGHT
Government Not to Modest Him.
as He Will larry but a
Few Hours.

General NictorIano Huerta, former
President Of Mexico, may see the lights
on Broadway tonight. He is u passen-
ger on the Antonio Lopez, of the Span
ish Line. due this afternoon. The ship
will stop here for two days before
heating for Havana.
The immigration authorities at Ellis
Island said last night that they had re-
ceiyed no adyices from Washington re-
garding the arrival of General Huerta,
despite reports that various agencies
of the government and the reprcs enta-
tives Of the Carranza regime IN the
United States were DESTROYS Of keeping
him out Inasmuch as he does not IN
tend TO remain here, but will sail again
when the Antonio Lopez leaves port,
il is likely that no restrictions will be
placed upon him. A Secret Service
man or two may keep an eye on him,
however.
First cabin passengers on the span
ish Line steamers are permitted 10
come ashore here while the vessel is
exchanging cargo.
Ii has been rumOred that an lmpor-.
tant conference between Huerta and
some of his countrymen who are plot
ting his return to power will be held
in this city. Francisco Madero would
not discuss the arrival of the general,
saying it was too delicate SUBJECT

d;sharment of Louis Werner, counsel
for William Guggenheim. member OF
the family of mine owners and smelt-
ors. in his divorce suit against has hrSI

decree was granted in Illinois IN leOl
and was subsequently denounced by
Mrs. Guggenheim as fraudulent.
The Werner charges are being heard
bv Allan McCulloh as referee, ana
when called TO testify Mr.. GuggenneHn
refused TO reply to certain questions
on the ground that they might lncrmi-
nate him. The referee took the mat
ter to the Appellate Division, whicn
yesterday directed Guggenhelm 20 an
sycr the questions. The court held ne
could not be made 20 suffer by throwing
light on the alleged conspiracy between
himself and Werner to fraudulently pro
cure the Illinois divorce, as that pro-
ceeding took place fourteen years ago.
and therefore he could have no fear OF
a criminal prosecution at this time.
Some of the questions which Gug-
cenheim refused TO answer were
whether any money was paid TO ms
former wife after he left her and went
10 Europe; whether the trip to Europe
was to force the former Mrs. Guggen-
helm TO take action, and whether he
communicated with her during her abb
sence. Guggenheim was also asked TO
produce all check books, cancelled
checks and stubs relating to the pay
ment Of money TO Mrs. Guggenheim or
to Samuel Untermyer, the latter's firm
or to Daniel Guggenheim. a brother OF
William Guggenheim. He failed to
produce these records.
