From this little beginning there grew up a strong feeling in the various Sunday schools about the White Christmas celebration and very soon all the Sunday schools took 1t up. For six of seven years nothing was said in the newspapers about it, and so on one occasion in Cleveland, while I was there at Sunday school convention, the sub ject was suggested to me, and l was asked to write something about The White Christmas celebration, which I did, giving my ideas of how it could be conducted interestingly and what a splendidly unselfish, beautiful thing it was"
 'In the early part of November" Mrs. Curtiss said, my publishers are
 bringing out my book, White Gifts for the King This little volume will contain I20 appropriate stories for the occasion of the White Christmas celebration, as 1t is my idea that a story should al- the beautiful one, "Why the Chimes Ring Out There is an especial spiritu- |al significance to this form of cele-
 bration it seems to me-the Christ
 spirit is so wonderfully exemplified. and to my mind nothing could be more impressive or sacred"
 "You see in The White Christmas Mrs. Curtiss said, "the three primal things that are taught are substance, service and self; the gifts of substance need not necessarily be money; I once saw great crowd of young men walk ling down the aisle of a church, each carrying a great white sack; another |time a group of young men in g. cer- tain Sunday school gave a White sew ing machine to a little mission. This little touch of humor was not unap- l provided; little cards are printed with all sorts of sentences concerning this gift of service I promise to speak to strangers in the Sunday school after the service each Sabbath morning. or T promise to visit the sick one day out |of each week during the coming year.; and, oh! many, many other beautiful services which can be individually rem dered. And then the gift of self; I re- call such beautiful instance when the superintendent of the Sunday school at one of our White Christmas celebra- tions stammered and halted, his eyes filling with tears as he was unable to read further. and he handed the en- velope to his pastor standing near; when the minister read the lines, it was the words of his own daughter the superintendent's daughter-giving herself to Christ, the most beautiful of all gifts!
 T wish I had time to tell you," Mrs. Curtiss said, "of the many things that the celebration of The White Christ mas has led to; instances have come under my own observation-but it would take too long; one only will I recite, that of mechanic-just plain, ordinary hardworking man. After attending a White Christmas celebration, he gave himself to the work |of the Christ-child, and going out into the byways and hedges of the town in which he lived, gathered all sorts of boys into the fold and brought them by the magic of his words and the earn estness of his desire into Sunday school
 work and the last I heard of him he
 was teaching a class of 50. So you see
 the possibilities are limitless and it is such beautiful. unselfish form of worship, My White Gifts for the King!"

N NE of the loveliest weddings Of II the week was that of Miss Rose W Marie Menzel and MT. W. H. Bell which took place last evening at the West End Baptist church, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion in palms, ferns and many cut flowers.
 An elaborate musical programme was rendered preceding the ceremony by Mrs Lillian Warner, who sang Not Because Your Heart Is Mine" and Miss Louise Gholston, who sang "All for You" ac- companied by Miss Tate on the organ, and also played the wedding march. Mrs. G. F. Thompson was the matron of honor, and wore a stunning gown of pink taffeta with silver trimmings and carried pink rosebuds. The bride entered with the maid of honor, Miss Floye Eskridge of Atlanta, who wore a frock of blue crepe de chine over pink taffeta and carried pink rosebuds.
 The bride was lovely in her bridal robe of white satin with real lace overskirt The bodice was trimmed in pearls. The skirt was made short and full. The long tulle veil fell gracefully to the floor, forming train. The veil was caught on the head Russian coronet fashion with pearl ornaments. Her flowers were brides roses and valley lilies. They were met at the altar by the groom and his best man, MT. Frank Bell, his brother, where the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Blackwelder, using the ring ceremony.
 An informal reception was held follow ing the ceremony at the home of the brides parents, to which a number of friends were invited.
 A buffet supper was served at late hour. MT. Bell and his pretty bride left for wedding trip, going south Upon their return they will make their home on South Highlands.

eve stage women are supposed to be such vampires off the stage as well as on.) Well, dear, I want to be frank with you, too. have loved, too. and been loved, and have learned something about men. And, above all, this one piece of wisdom which l pass on to you for immediate use:
 If you want to shoo another woman off the man that belongs to you, in tko name of Mother Eve and all Ter daughters, don't try to shoo her Of You'll only make her dig her claws the deeper into him. And it's even worse in its effect on the man.
 But what you must do is fight the beast with her own weapon. But not over the same man!
 Look about a bit and notice whether she seems to have any other prey past, present or prosrective-in her eye. Best of all. If past, present and prospective are all one man, as a hus- band. Has Mrs. Brett husband? If such there be, go for that man! You won't find it pleasant at first. But it gets easier when you see the woman taking her eyes off your property and send them wandering in your direction with wicked gleams il, them and tail beginning to lash. Then you have only to hold on tight bit longer and pre- pare to win.
 l know, dearest, how hard a game like that will go against your grain. Even I detest 1t. But, Cora, 1t is in- finitely harder to live life on the de- fensive than on the offensive. And love and marriage are life with a capi- tai ''L" in this respect.
 Go to it, dear child! Tog up, powder your nose, practice up old tricks and some new ones Think good times until you look it. Fake, sparkle if you haven't it-and go for the other man! Then, if you can't get your Davey back that way and want me for any thing, yelpi And I'll come bounding like she-bear to her cub Luck and love, my dear. WANDA.

HER SIDE--AND HIS WOMAN TO WOMAN-WANDA TO CORA
By ZOE BECKLEY

Dear Cora, Child: Between you and me, I blubbered on your letter. Oh, not only over your sad little mess, although, honey, my heart goes out to you and my advice follows. But I felt touched to the depths of my heart by your turning In trust to me! Indeed and indeed, darling girl, l am with you through thick and thin against any Queen of Sheba that tries to come between Davey and you. If you and l haven't brains enough in our noo- dies, woman enough under our skins and claws enough between the two of us to make that woman look for other prey than Davey and you, we deserve to lose him. This is only to tell you that I'm yours, dear friend, to the last ditch, not to announce that I intend to interfere-unless you ask me.
 But from what you and good little old Feminine Instinct tell me of the situation, you, or you and I, will have to use every little bit of what we've got against that Greek of a woman.
 You ask my opinion as of one ~ho knows David. My dear, I don't. l am supposed to be his first love, believe. Well, a mans first love knows less about him than any of his succeeding loves. It's his first reading or mis- reading of a new part that's been thrust on him without a rehearsal But this much I know of Davey: He's as true blue as it is given for a man to be.
 Which means that you, the woman he promised his innermost self to be true to, have the advantage of any race you may run with any other woman on earth with David as stake. But race it will have to be, my dear, and you'd better not count on winning by default.
 You have been frank with me, Cora, and how I hug you to my heart for it!

Assortment Is the Greatest That

for Many Seasons.
TOP COAT NOW A NECESSITY
Unless a Woman Is Willing to BE Con-
tent With a Coat Blouse and Sep
arate skirt She Must include
That Article Of Apparel in
Wardrobe This Winter.

New York.-The woman who goes
hunting winter clothes cannot fail to
be surprised, even though she thinks
herself prepared for it, at the amazing
assortment of indoor gowns offered.
II is not possible to carry through
the cold weather with any of the new
clothes unless ore adds a top coat to
the wardrobe, and n smartly-turned-out
one at that. So, unless one is willing
and able to buy a new cOat-for it is
improbable that an old one will do
then 1t is safer and wiser to stick to
the American unifOrm-a coat suit
with u separate blouse.
What appeals to the economy and
satisfies the pride of being well dressed
In a thin One-piece frOck of satin or
cloth is the fact that it serves for
every occasion when one must enter
into some form of gayety during the
day. One would be exaggerating the
truth to say that the coat and skirt,
no matter how handsome, are entirely
unsuitable this season for indoor af-
fairs, but one must be reasonably eau
tious about using them for any hour
but those spent in routine work.
Reason for Cloth Suits.
1t may be that, with this end in
view, the tailors are turning out more
cloth than velvet suits, using up that
expensive material for top coats and
evening frOcks with trains.
Velour is evidently the first choice
of those who cater to the women who
are willing to put a goodly sum of
money INTO the coat and skirt that,
after all, dresses them most of the
time for seven months of their year.

an makes when this material is adj
