FESTIVAL FOR THE YOUNG
Opportunity of Christmas of Bringing
Happiness to Children Should Not
Be Passed BY.

Christmas, the celebration Of the
birthday of the Divine Child, is pc
culiarly the children's festival. And
while it cannot, too, but be time of
special rejoicing among grown-ups, we
realize after all, that it has no other
charm to compare with the pleasure
we take in some kiddy's delight over
the doll or drum or picture book that
our special Santa Claus has brought
him.
This opportunity of making some
child's Christmas one of SURPRISING
joy, of which he will carry gracious
and ennobling memory into after life,
years. it may be, after our direct in
f1uence for good or evil will have
ceased forever-this opportunity Of
giving pleasure is one of the best
that life has to offer US. And per-
haps the greatest opportunity is his
who in place of home times, has the
wide, gray world of homeless, loveless,
unhappy childhood from which to
choose the most needy recipient of his
Christmas giving. The chances of
giving happiness in this way are so
many, the means so simple, and the
deed itself so worthy, that no one Of
us should let the season pass unim-
proved.

NEW WEDDING RING.
To Be Up to Date Your Ring Must Be
 Double.

Double.
 For the autumn bride there is a new sort of wedding ring. To the casual eye it appears to be just the ordinary gold circlet, heavy yet narrow, as fash. ionabLe wedding rings are now. An adroit twist of the fingers, however. and. behold, the ring becomes two rings. the rounded edges at the outer side and flat surface within. On this flat surface the bridegroom may have engraved secret inscription of senti- ment, which nobody but the bride-aIl himself. of course-will ever be able to read unless some one discovers the trick of opening the ring. The best wedding ring is of fourteen carat gold heavy and solid and not too wide Very wide wedding rings have gone out of fashion, and the modish band is narrow and we'll rounded at the outer side. A ring of eighteen carat gold has beautiful color. but will not wear as well as the fourteen carat ring. and, of course. ring that is never removed from the hand is apt to have hard usage. to come into contact with sur faces that would scratch or dent any metal not very hard in itself.

Fall Millinery.

The array of styles in all white hats, especially in satin. is astonishingly large. The present novelty. however. is the reappearance of medium and small shapes. Turbans are likewise represented. In these a new model with the brim arranged in five peaks is especially noteworthy. For early fall wear feather trimmings and ribbons share first honors. Pasted breast, bird. wing and quill effects are all represent ed. From present indications the ear ly fall hats are to be subdued in color. with emphasis chiefly on black, new chocolate shade of brown and the ever popular navy. Among the novelty shades are the new bordeaux red. n soft, dull gray and q deep purple.

 Mrs. Vanderbilt said she would sec that $10,000 is raised for the immediate needs of the families of guardsmen who have gone to the border or are living in armories.
 She was authorized by the committee to send out a call for a general confer. ence of two representatives from every relief organization carrying on a simi- lar work.
 Fifty cases have been handled so far by the new organization. The majority of cases are of young wives with smaii children in need of food. Out of the fifty applicants only five were mothers whose sons had left them without means of support.

Latest Topcoats,

Separate coats are still quite fuD, Belts begin on the inside of the coat and appear outside at unexpected places, usually fastening in the front. It wil1~be the usual rather than the un usual thing to find the strap buckle fastening instead of buttons. But when buttons arc employed there seems to be no limit to the numbers: CherUit is using alpaca for toppers, and when lined with an effective silk it makes a most attractive coat.
