For four years farmers OF this COM

die Last spring the community joined
in a common prayer for more sue
cessful season Sunday the people
gathered again, to give thanks to the
divinity who, they believe, heard and

Pastors OF the Catholic, Congrega-

The harvest of the last season has

acknowledgements clothes
for ladies and gentlemen. That's to
be the vogue this fall and winter, ac-
cording to clothiers in the Peachtree
arcade, fashion center OF Atlanta.
When happerism was the rage a short
time back the fapper and the cake
eater" both went to extremes in dress.
She wore short-snappy styles. He wore
clothes which buttoned semi-choking-
w about his collar, neck and corduroy
trousers whose bottoms foppety-fopp-
ed about his ankles. This type OF pat
ronage will be served, but the cloth

bv the fapper and cake eater is a dis
ease" explained one OF the arcade
fashion experts However, it is being
exterminated rapidly in my opinion.
Il firmly believe it had its inception
in the east recall wildly that young
sters attending college during 1918,
shortly after the war, were demanding
clothes whose tendency was toward
the English effect They wanted to
get away from the four-button coat
which was popular at that time. The
natural evolution in styles since that
period has produced the cake eater.
He had to have clothes that were dit
ferent and goodness knows he had
them.
1t would be impossible to predict
what the lads OF sixteen to eighteen
years OF age will wear this winter.
They are the unknown quantity. 1t
is Chinese puzzle to carry apparel in
stock which will prove to their liking.
Thank heaven, conservatism IN
dress finally arrived, in conjunction
with other forecasters OF normally, |
and perhaps parents will direct their
offsprings toward a more sane mode |
of dress than has been prevalent the |
last three years This Is to be hoped. |
1t will make for sounder Americanlsm,
am sure"

ever originated there. It's too conser-

island engage in their favorite hob

letters to folks back home about the

as if they were announcing an invest

Hallowe en- Party for the
Margaret Tweedy Class
House Warming at Home of Mrs. A.
E. Joiner Thoroughly Enjoyed.


The November meeting of the Mar
garet Tweedy Sunday school class
was in the nature OF house warm
ing, Mrs. Alva Joiner opening her
pretty new home in honor OF the MEM
bers. The Halloween idea prevailed
in the striking decorations and was
carried out effectively in every detail
of elaborate entertainment. After the
short business session the president in
troduced the class to an imposing
witch, who proceeded to take charge
To find out If the members had been
studying she gave out Bible names,
and all failing to spell them correctly
the witch in disgust brought her
broom into play and swept the crowd
into the back hall through a dark
winding passage, weird and Spooky,
with mysterious noises. Damp moss,
hanging low, trailed across the faces
and icy fingers clutched menaclngly as
the guests passed into another room,
where a ghost tall and gaunt, blind
folded each one and bound them hand
and foot to chairs.
They were finally released and put
through all kinds of impossible stunts.
Out of this dark cavern they were al
lowed to enter the gaily decorated
parlor, where their fortunes were told
at the witches tent in one corner. Al
ter their varied experiences the men,
bers were happy to arrive in the din
ing room where pumpkin shades over
the lights gave a Halloween glow,
and candles dressed as little girls in
Halloween costumes ornamented the
room. Streamers Of orange paper and
strings of red apples gave additional
touches of bright color. The central
decoration OF the table was large
basket piled high with apples and
corn with a pumpkin in the center
Cut glass baskets tied with yellow and
black held minis and marshmallows
A delicious salad course with hot COT
fee was served by Mrs. Joiner, Mrs.
Duke Marshall, Mrs Charles Deubler
and Miss Ruth Mathis.
Quantities of handsome yellow
chrysanthemums made a veritable
bower of bloom, where black cats and
witches were much in evidence. The
living room was especially attractive
in an arrangement OF chrysanthemums
in silver baskets and vases.

MINISTER LIFTS
CHURCH BAN ON
THEATER GOING
Brooklyn Pastor Tells Flock
Methodist Dictum Is Obsolete
and to Be Disregarded.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-After hearing
Harry Davenport, the actor, now ap,
pearing in Thank YOU" speak on
Clean Plays" from the pulpit Of the
Harrison Place Methodist Episcopal
Church, Brooklyn, last evening. the
Rev. Harry Dwight Miller, the pastor,
declared that the so-called ban Of the
church upon the theater had misrepre.
sented Methodism and had driven thou
sands of young people from its fold.
DR.. Miller, whose church is one OF
the best known OF that denomination
in Brooklyn. advised his congregation
that attendance at the theater was a
matter of individual conscience, and
added that he wished they could all see
a number of clean. wholesome plays
which he mentioned.
THE so-called ban Of the Methodist
Church is not a rule but q provision
In the judicial section Of the dis.
cipline," he said. "It Is disregarded
by most laymen and many preachers.
1t Ia obsolete and misrepresents the
spirit Of Methodism to the outside
world"
Mr.. Davenport said that, II the pub.
lie boycotted salacious plays as II
boycotted adulterated food products,
the situation in the theater would be
greatly improved. Managers produce
and playwrights write immoral plays
because the public demands them.
THE majority of actors and
actresses are a decent sort Of persons.
They prefer clean roles. Many Of
them do not like the roles the man.
ayers make them portray, but they
have to earn a living and have to
depict the characters the playwrights
write for them II the public demands
clean plays, It will get them" he said.
THE American drama runs in a
cycle" he continued. when my
father and sister were playing In the
early seventies, theatergoers went
most to the Shakespearean drama. A
little later the Don Boucicault type OF
comedy was most popular. Then
came the bloodthirsty drama OF the
Theodore Kramer variety, followed
by the musical comedy and the mu-
sical revue, another name for leg
