ounder Of The Family Limitation Movement To
Make Her First Appearance In
Any Southern City

Mrs. Margaret Sanger, whose
crusade for voluntary parenthood
has made her internationally fa-,
nous, will lecture at the Alkra-
ma Theatre in Elizabeth City at
$50 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
Nov. 2. Her subject will be "Wo-
mans Place in the Twentieth Cen
tury.' In this lecture Mrs. San
get will tell her Elizabeth City
audience something of her exper-
ience in this country and abroad
in her fight for the repeal of laws
in conflict with the idea of fam
lily limitation or birth control.
This will be Mrs. Sanger's first
visit to the south and Elizabeth
City will be the first city in the
south to hear her. Several months
ago Mrs. Sanger met w. O. Saun-
ders in New York City. She man
ifested an interest in the south
and said she hoped some day to
make a tour of the southern
states.
. '.Come to Elizabeth City," said
Mr. Saunders, "and I will have an
audience for you" Mrs. Sanger
agreed then and there to come.
There will be no charge for
Sundays lecture. w. o. Saun-
ders has guaranteed Mrs. San
gers expenses and will accept any
free offering to help defray these
expenses but no one should stay
away from the lecture on that
account.
The women Of Elizabeth City
will have an opportunity Sunday
to see and hear one of their own
sex who has devoted her life to
the emancipation of women and
braved the jai1s of two continents
In carrying her message to the
world. Her wonderful personal
ity, her keen intellect, her abso-
lutte fearlessness and her person
al purity have won for her the ad-
1niration and esteem of all who
have come in contact with her.
After the lecture Sunday after
noon Mrs. Sanger will hold a re-
ception for women only ana
those desiring information as to
where to obtain books and liter
ature on the Voluntary Parent
hood movement can obtain such.

that time
Before announcing Mrs. San
gers appearance in Elizabeth
City w. O. Saunders personally
interviewed several physicians
and ministers and asked them if
they thought there would be any.
objection to Mrs. Sanger's ap-
pearance here There was none,
but the precaution was taken be-
cause there is always some one
to protest against any new idea
or any departure from the rut of
Ministers and
generally will hear
Mrs Sanger with peculiar inter-
est because she represents a
movement which they are trying
to understand.

is always a demand here for ball
plavers. Secretary Case persuad-
ed the War Department to let
Elizabeth City have that 81 Cross

Such a box usually has the proper
tions shown in Fig. 2. The first thing
to do is to remove one end, and enough
Of the top, bottom and sides, to make
the box square. The dotted line In
Fig. 2 shows where to cut. The Sec
ond step is to remove a side adjoin'
ing that just removed, cut away
the top to the shape Of the finished
front, and cut away one corner to
form the open bottom Of the rack. This
cutting is shown by dotted lines in
Fig. 3, and Fig. 4 shows the pieces
thus prepared. Sew together what re-

: Almost every church has its Christ

sorts of beautiful handmade gifts, such
as women love, for personal and house
hold use. Many people depend upon
these bazaars and do considerable
part of their gift buying in them.
Pretty gifts that sell for small sums
sell rapidly and it is worth while TO
have one booth at the bazaar Where
only things made of paper are shown.
This booth is sure to do lively Dusl-
mess and there is a long list of paper
things that will lure small change ana
more, from the pockets Of onlookers'
These include paper flowers, candle
and lamp shades, place cards, table or
naments, Christmas tree ornaments
ismall paper lanterns, perfume sach'
lets, laundry and telephone lists, desk
,blotters and sets, portfolios, paper gar
lands, crepe and tissue paper IN the
bolt, paper napkins and doilies, and
jpaper toys-as dolls, soldiers, animals,
'horses, etc.
Starting out with flowers, the poin-
Isettia, the chrysanthemum, carnations
iand red roses sell fast at Christmas
time, and they are all easy to MAKE

To make the children's party at
Christmas time a brilliant success is
not at all difficult. All they need is
room to play in, games and pastimes
planned ahead to fill up the time. some
one to supervise them aud Christmas
goodies to eat. This last item In the
program Of the Christmas party means
q great deal to them, but they are cas-
ily pleased.
The old fashioned games, blind
mans buff" "drop the handkerchief" ,"
sehide and seek" have unfailing charms
for the youngsters, but they will not
play at one game long. A fishing
pond pleases them and is; easy to
manage. A lot of toys and trinkets
are wrapped in paper and tied up, a
sufficient number to provide some
thing for every child. Before the par
ty these are piled up in some conven-
lent corner and curtain Of some kind
hung across the corner to hide them.
Fishing poles with lines having a
crooked pin at the END are made ready
and each child casts his line over the
TOP of the curtain. Someone in charge
Of this part of Il entertainment
fastens little parcel to the bent pin
for each child and income else sees
to it that each littl,' guest gets one
chance at the pond.

small means to procure gifts with. Be-

dlestick is made of a fringe Of white
tissue paper. Two red roses, on long
wire stems wound with green paper,
hold the fringe to the glass candle
stick, the stems of the roses being
wrapped about the fringe. Green leaves
of the holly, with clusters Of red ber-
ries, might be used instead Of the
roses. This is only one Of many ways
of dressing up candles for Christmas
time.
Five little dishes for salted almonds
and peanuts or little candies, suggest
any number Of these salable table gar
nishings. At the left Of the picture
the tiny paper dish is set in the heart
of q small poinsettia blossom. It is
mounted on a wire wound with
green crepe paper and this serves for
stem. and supports a few leaves.
Above it printed face Of Santa Claus
smiles from the side Of dish covered
| with red crepe paper, and at the right
basket is also covered with it.
Below the basket appears a little
Christmas tree place card, made OF
green paper fringed and wound about
wire. For the two little covered dishes
Of white paper use in one case poin-
settia petals and in the other holly
leaves, to show their fitness for the
Christmas table.
Nothing sells better at the bazaar
than perfume sachets. Small light
colored envelopes are used to make
them and each has a little hand-color-
ed picture painted on one corner Of
! it. It is filled with scented cotton and
tied with a narrow ribbon.

course, sitting behind, manipulates the
answers and finally thrusts one OF the
folded pieces Of paper forward on the
bench or table.
When it comes time for refresh

decorated table containing q Christ

of sweets or some little trinket to car
