"A CARD.
Marietta, Ca, Jan. 6, 1918

MarletCa, Id.s Jan. oS 1910
Mr.. Editor:
The proposed carrying out of some
clause in the Telephone contract
never heretofore insisted on will work
untold inconvenience and much ad-
ded expense to those who are now
paying heavy toll to this very Tele-
phone Corporation. 1t is to be hoped
that the Railroad Commission will
refuse to grant the request, and that
citizens all over Georgia will protest
vigorously against it,
The idea of the Phone Company is
apparently to take advantage of this
stress time and increase their reven-
ue, unwarrantedly; by forcing all
subscribers of telephones to refuse
to allow any one else to use their
phones, with the idea of forcing such
requests to the pay booths, Now
very nearly every man and woman
everywhere is paying toll to this
company by having a phone in their
homes and in their places of business,
and when they happen to be up town
shopping, if lady wishes to call up
home and ask the nurse how the sick
baby is getting along, she will be re-
fused by the merchant at whose store
she was trading, possibly buying some
necessities and had only limited
time to be away from home.
If merchant from her was in At
lanta buying goods at wholesale
house and desired to call another
wholesale house for something he
would be refused and have to seek
a pay station. 1t would work untold
hardships on the present subscribers.
1t would be far better in order to
relieve the phone company, If they
cannot handle the business they have
now and are charging such high cost
for many people who do not specially
need phones to cut them out.
Such ruling as the phone company
desires should cause the government
to take over this public service utility
at once.

In spite of the appeal from Eu-
rope, demanding conservation at
home, American consumption of beef
is increasing at an alarming rate, ac-
cording to figures announced by the
United States Food Administration.
In the fiscal year of 1867 the per
capita consumption jumped 10 pounds
above the consumption for the pre-
ceeding IL months. The average
American, the figures show, is eat
ing 65.04 pounds of beef each year.
Europe needs beef more than at any
time in history, yet our 1867 ex-
ports dropped 33,0oo,00o pounds be-
low exports in 1856. Unless our
home consumption of beef is reduced,
it must mean that in order to supply
the absolute needs of Europe our
own herds will have to be depleted
at dangerous rate-and they are
already alarmingly small.

LET NATURE STRIKE
THE COLOR NOTE
Flowers in Livingroom Will Do it
a Change of Color Scheme
Every Day.

II is not, perhaps. new idea, but who
shall say 1t Is not n sensible ono where ITS
adoption is within the range Of one :
purse-reliance upon flowers To furnish
the color tone for living room.
4 woman was once heard to remark.
"No gaudy or figured wall paper can ind
a place in my house. | will have nothing
but plain papers, of neutral tints, than L
can obtain 4 color note for room through
the use of vases OF flowers, and this color
note may be changed as often as please,
by changing the flowers.
Such remark IS apt TO set one thinking
IL Is not hard to imagine. say, room wit
walls In plain grey, border or friese of
inoffensive pattern stronger IN color,
furnishings in harmony, with two vases
Of pink roses on the nnantel. and another
on center table Restfully simple, one
can believe After passing, the pink rose
could be replaced with yellow Chry-
santhemums, and another pleasing color
effect would be obtained. In Spring or
early Summer blue Iris might he used
for "a change, or one of the yellow and
mahogany varieties Later there are tn
glorious new Delphiniums, In variety
Of blue shades, the forests set closely to-
gether ThePeonies in shades OF pink would
be splendid; and later, a wealth of color
would be forthcoming from the Gladioli
Should stronger color notes be favored
vivid red and crimson flowers would be
quite In good taste.
When two colors are used at the same
time, care should, OF course, be exercised
in the selection, SO AS to avoid violent
contrasts. For instance, pale yellow and
pale blue harmonize, while deep yellow
and purple are strongly antagonistic, Us
is evidenced when We put the golden
calenduia with the purple aster, their
brlliancy making the association ag-
gressive. The American Beauty rose Is
properly dilute crimson. consequently
is better by itself Crimsons, magentas,
purples, and oranges are rather hard OF
association with other oolors, but are
rich combination with white, which Is
neutral
The use of foliage pla Is IS always ap-
proprIate III room such rs escribed, the
restful green having n mediatlng influence
calculated to reduce the chance of discord
when there Is tendency to cncroaoh ment

''Chaste' is what the wife OF one of the
recters of the parish called Emmanuel
Ch11fh. alluding to its interior, ard it s
chaSte-altogether simple in its lines and
very d,gnified and ecclesiastical The
church has been fortunate in that at al
most every restoration" or repairing
or whatever may have been the designa-
ton for the fixing-up" that was done,
it has been directed and carried out by
those who know how. During the last
few. months this one of New Castle s
many fine old structures, has been under
going repairs again, and the improve
fn,ents are nightly named, and not the kind
that will make the heads of future genera
tions hang in shame, because their fore
bears had I'D taste instead Of good. Tie
leading men of New Castle have always
been men of good judgment. either pos
sessing the night ideas of the fitness of
things architectural, or the good sense
TO employ those who do know. That
explains Why New Castle is such gem of
an old town, and why the despoiing hand
of that awful period Of architecture and
furniture from the Civil War TO 1900
was not allowed to bring about the awful
changes that it did in almost every other
locality in this country
For some time the church has needed
painting. and this was postponed because
OF war and lack of labor and other reasons
until finally 1t came to the attention of
two members of old New Castle fam lies.
Reynolds D. Brown and Henry Booth of
Philadelphia, and they offered to give the
cost of the painting TO the old church,
where they had said their childish prayers.
and where many of their forbears had
worshipped Then it came TO the minds
Of the vestry that at the same time
there might be installed the stained glass
window over the altar, money for which
had been bequeathed by Miss Elizabeth
Booth There had been over the altar
quite q monstrosity, put there by some
misguided soul who thought II beautiful.
Its most noticeable detail was fat bird,
that always reminded the faithful that
capoD is, the favorite piece de resist; nee
for the Sunday dinner, and made mouths
water for if. Also there were details of
panellinr about the altar that were not
good, and the design of the woodwork
above the altar was not IN conformity
with the church interior. This was where
Laussat II. Rogers brought his archi-
tectural talent into play. He designed
. window after the fan windows and door
transoms Of the eighteenth century. for
he knows that the church was built in
1906 Of a rectangular plan, and that in
1922 the church IS We know IT today was

completed, the transept and the tower
having been added. At other times
there were slight alteratio but always
it was remembered that the church is of
Georgian or what we also call colonial
rchitcctrlre and that every innovation
must harmonize with the original design.
AMPLIrTED FAN DESIGN.
As there was no stained glass in the
seventeenth and eighteenth ccntur es.
transparent pancs were used by Sir Christo-
pher Wren and other architects Of those
tunes, and thus brilliantly stained glass,
such as was used to emhlazon the fat bird
and h,s attendant decorations, was en-
ti-clv out of harmony with the church.
Mr. Rogers selected for the medium,
OF his amplified fan design an opalescent
glass. very soft in tint, that is mellow in
the sunlight that falls ack of 1t, during
the hour for morning service. He made
the woodwork above the altar of harmo-
NOUS design. and be was equally happy
IN his drawing for the two pilasters that
flank the altar. On each plaster will be
hymn board, gwen by Richard Rodney
in memory of his father John Rodney,
and his aunt, Miss Emily Rodney. The
inscription on the window says: ITO the
glory ol God, and III memory oi Elizabeth
j Booth" The Booths. like :hc Rodneys
lived in New Castle for many generations
and always were communicants of In
manuel Church.
I he chancel has been improved too,
and all the woodwork of the church
painted or oiled The white woodwork
with facings Of walnut is quite in keeping
with the church interior, and the walls
of soft cream tint, are pleasant to the eye.
Sometime the altar furniture is going to
have attention gwen IT, and then every
thing within the church will be quite
right and as it should be The exterior APP
pearance of the church is almost austere
In its plaincss, but it is extremely inter
esting with its church yard and old tombs.
A SIMPLE DEDICATION.
The rector, Rev Addison 4 Ewing,
believing that it conforms with the times
and with the simplicity of the chsngss
made in the church. has planned a dedi-
cation Of the memorial window and the
memorial hymn boards There will be
the usual morning service at 100 oclcck
on Sunday next. and then = very brief
dedication of the gifts.
Former rcctors of the church have
been invited and all friends and former
communicates, as well as all Pensioners
OF the church are very cordially invited
TO the service Then at O'Clock there
will be luncheon IN the parish house served
by the ladies OF the church.
