THE MISSION OF CHRISTMAS
Back of the green and the holly
glow,
Back of the greetings the loved
ones sow
Across our path as we come and
*0,
And the tides of the season run—
Back of the cheer and the joy
that brim,
IiO. them’s a vision of 'Tiny Tim,
With a prayer on the sad, sweet
lips of him;
“God bless us every one. II
Child, it isn’t the gift we bear,
Selfish love nor joy we share—
It isn’t the spirit that’s every
where
Of giving, and cheer and fun;
God in Heaven, I fancy, smiled,
To hear its mission so truly
* styled,
And sweet on the lips of a crip
pled child
"God Mess us every one. 9 »

PIN SCRATCH CAUSES
DEATH OF YOUNG
WOMAN IN ATHENS
Athens, Dec. 16.—A pin scratch
caused the death here yesterday
of Miss Nannie Lou Calloway,
young school teacher of Wilkes
county. Miss Calloway died in a
local hospital of blood poisoning
which set in as a result of the
scratch.
Several flays ago she was play
ing with some of the girls of her
school and in some manner stuck
a pin in her chest, from which
blood poisoning resulted.
The shirred border of moleskin
achieves a new note and relieves
the wrap' Touches of a too severe sim
plicity. of this sort lift
fur models far above- the ordinary
leveL
Miss Love’s wrap la entirely of
moleskin and relies upon Its beau
ty of line rather than a combine
tion of 1 other furs for its effective
ness. Consequently the Paisley
silk lining discreetly displayed is
most important In adding a color
ful note. While Miss Love has
sponsored the fnlj modeled wrap,
Paris has decreed the wrap around
design equally fashionable.
Many wraps of favored furs pos
sess unusual features In design
and fur combinations, for this is a
season when Individual taste may
be satisfied.
