Mrs. Wilson WOOdrOW'S Article
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW,
The world famous writer on vital subjects.

Many people who have held that hos
pitality Is one OF the kindly, genial
virtues to be practiced In season and
out OF season have discovered to their
diHmay that It is one of the most ex-
pensive Injuries in the whole category,
There are many famous instances to
attest this fact,
There was Thomas jefferson, who
was rich and lived lavishly in his early
days. But his house was constantly
fun of guests, and his stables SO full
OF horses-both guests and horses eat
Ing their heads off-that he nearly went
hungry himself,
Dumas, in spite OF the vast sums he
earned by his wonderful romances, was
able to lay by nothing, He rarely sat
down to a lonely meah his breakfasts,
luncheons and dinners were usually en-
llvened by the presence Of at least a
hundred guests, and he also had a 1T
tie habit OF tossing his gold into a table
need of temporary reimbursement might
dip their fingers, Is It necessary to add
that he died In poverty2
The great prince OF Orange, whose
military genius and statecratt saved
Holland In the sixteenth century, was
practically ruined by his magnificent
hospitality.

few Of those vegetables which are still
comparatively reasonable in price, and
they are embedded, surrounded and
overlaid with parsley. There is always
enough parsley, he complains, to sup
ply the whole block on which he lives.
Never under any circumstances, he In
sists, has the "~camouflage bag" been
known to contain a chicken, or a pat OF
butter, or a dozen eggs. And even the
beets and carrots are in exceedingly
small punches.
Yet these offerings are supposed to
cancel any obligations the guests may
incur; and they are far from expect

feel that their appetites, naturally
good and now whetted by change of
air, should be tempted by all those
hearty staples which were once regard
ed as the necessities of life and are
now its soaring luxuries.

constant unnecessary expense which

thing, the thought. of giving up his
happy home, still, the only way out of

There are only three courses open to

A JOURNAL

The Atlanta Journal is the leading paper in Georgia, and a
reliable and ~high-class publication.
Il subscribes to the United Press to supplement its Asso-
Eciated Press news service.
On the day the United Press carried the report that peace
had been declared the Atlanta Journal was one of the several
raners that were deceived. But the Atlanta Journal did not
stay deceived.
Almost as soon as the first extra was off the press the
official denial came from Washington, and the first edition was
followed by a second giving the widest publicity to the state
nent made by Secretary Lansing on the authority OF President
Wilson.
Newspapers are sometimes caught by unreliable news
gatherers, but they don't stay caught unless it is their wish.
No news service is infalEble, nor is any newspaper man. The
Atlanta Journal is to be commended for making a prompt effort
to correct an unfortunate mistake, and its conduct vindicates it
in the minds of the newspaper reading public,

Methodists Plan Centenary
Foreign Missions Board Ap-
proves $8O,O00,OOO
Expenditure

The Methodist Episcopal Board of
Foreign Missions closed its annual ses-
sion at Yonkers yesterday by indors-
ing unanimously the worldwide cen
tenary movement, which calls for an
expenditure of $So,000,Oo0 within the
next five years for domestic and for
eign missions.
The organization intends to enlarge
its work by building more hospitals
schools and churches. Most of the
session just closed has been devoted
to the forming of plans for missionary
and reconstruction work in the devas-
tated lands of Americas allies. For
the first time arrangements were made
for extending the work in Belgium and
Spain.
BY spreading the idea of Christian
democracy through Asia and Africa,
it was stated yesterday, the board
hopes to lessen the possibility of a
race war in the future. Appropriations
for 1919 world missionary work
amounted to s1,52S,811. There was no
appropriation for work in Germany.
