Tbomaa. bock Box M 2. Atlanta. Ga. CHAT. Julia was busy making a dresser scarf out of three handkerchiefs. You might make a Chriwtnias present the same way. She took some two-inch lace inserting and put them together with it, then put it all around them and finished with lace edging Mabie said: "After Thanksgiving J am going to start on my Christmas things, and 1 do hope to get them finished by tba 15th I shall never forget the mobs that were in some of the stores last year One little woman said she worked an hour and never did get to the counter she wanted. She finally got in the stream going out of the door, and go out she had to, whether she had bought or not. , "Well. I am going to wait until after the Ist," said Ruby; “then I will have a whole month to pay for them." All of the girls laughed, and Mabie said: "To tell the truth, that's what I meant.” “Tes, and have a nice long bill for a New Year present" said Eula. "Better a nice long bill tn January than no presents at Christmas." replied Ruby. "I resolve every year to put aside a certain amount every month for my Christmas money, but it never is on hand at Christmas. I put it aside, and glory in the fact that 1 have it, but as sure as I Uve something comes up and the money- goes. This summer it was spent for medicine, last 'year to help sister. I sometimes think it’s no use try ing, but then. I am thankful that when the emergencies came there was money for them, so I am going to try one more year.” “Girls." said Alice, "it's a terrtide life we lead. When I got <5 a week I paid U of it for board, and the dress I paid S for was as good as the one I now pay H 5 fqy. My Hi dollars a week now Is -no more to me than the $5 was. for expenses eat it up. I had saved S3O for Christmas, and. bless me, didn't a girl in the house go in my room and steal the money I had taken .home to pay my landlady? That's the v way $25 of my money went." "Didn't you have her arrested?" was asked by all the girls. 'Have her arrested? She was too smart for that. She had told Mrs. Robbins that she was ducking for some money from home, and Would pay her as soon as it came. I was away all of Sunday, and about noon she paid her bill and said her father had sent for her and before I got ‘.ome she was out and gone. Monday I < pened any pocketbook to get my money and not* even a postage stamp was left me. Mrs. Robbins said that she thought about it afterward, and wondered how she got the letter, for there is no Sunday delivery She says the people she gave as reference spluttered and said it was a sham, that the girl is innocent and that •hey were going to write to her father. Just the same we have all been in that house fou< years and 'never a thing has been missed until she came. "She simply had to steal or get to work. Miss Thomas got her a nice place and >he worked half a day, then told the man ager it fas too confusing, she would have to quit. Then another place was se cured and she didn’t even go. said that she overslept herself." "Well.** said Ruby, with a twinkle in her eye, "when I oversleep myself I do without breakfast and get there as soon as I can. It's not pleasant, but it's better than having to steal money to pay board'll. The clock struck S and they started for the gympasium. for it was an evening class and everyone of them belonged to ihe Business Woman's club. I wondered, as I pondered over their strggles. if the girls who .are in their own homes and have their evenings to make their Christ mas presents, know how fortunate they are.

My oldest and young est are boy*, and I would be so glad for some of the sisters to give me any information they can about raising children, for I feel such a great responsibility resting on me. I am so anxious for them to learn from their cradles to love the truth and hate a lie and to be use ful. I am trying to raise them in the right way so that when they get old they will not depart from it. I have but one sister living, and we are almost 100 miles apart. I have half brother* and slater* and am glad that they are near enough for uk to visit. The Household is al! good, but I enjoy beat the letters that tell u» about things that will be pleasant to think about and helpful to live by. Thanksgiving I* gone and almost before we know ft Christmas will be here. Let'* all of us tell our children the *tory of Jesus and let them think of Christmas as bls birthday, and how he chose to leave heaven and become a little child to save a sinful world. Let's point out the worst home we know- and ask our little children If they would like to leave father and mother and be a child In that home. Yet God gave Hi* Son. and Jesus came will ingly to even worse than any we know. Sincerely. MRS. ALVEY THOMAS. Burnt Fork.

Tbanks giving is over, but how thankful we all ought ‘ tn continue, especially the farmers. With cotton bringing 13 cents, six' a very' fair crop, why ichoujdn't we be thaukful?

Could not draw a deep breath or lie on left side, and little exertion would cause palpita tion. Under advice I took Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy and Nervine. I took about thirteen bottles, am in better health than I ever was, and have gained 14 pounds.” MRS. LILLIE THO'MAS, ' Upper Sandusky, Ohio. For many years Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy has been very successful in the treatment of heart troubles, because of its tonic effect upon the heart nerves and muscles. Even in severe cases of long standing it has frequently prolonged life for many years after doctors had given up all hope, as proven by thousands of letters we have re ceived from grateful people.

There will be many looking forward with pleasure and some with sadness; some poor mother will be dreading it, tor her own dear son. perhsp*. like* the taste of whisky and she know* or fear* he will get drunk or get into trouble. I hope many boys will take a solemn oath that they will not even look at any Intoxicant tld* year. How many of the Householder* are opposed to sere nading or fantastic riding? Do you really think there t« harm In celebrating Christ's birth day that way?

In all It hinder* the cause. Don't mistake. I think it right we should show re gard for our neighbor* wherever they be. but one must try to rise above the )>etty things to do the most good.

Oh, Kids! Listen'. Old Santa Is Up to Fine Nezv Tricks Now every little boy and girl who is expecting to find some pretty things or dandy toys in their stockings on next Christmas morning—and ’twill only be a few weeks until that glorious day will be here—can open wide their eyes and listen! Dr. Cook and Commander Peary, who. as you khow, have just returned from the north pole, of course saw old St. Nicholas ’way up there and got well acquainted with him. They both say that he was looking well, but he was dreadfully (busy and couldn’t talk very long. He gave them both a little peep into his big toy workshop. And what do you think they saw? Well, they saw just tons and bushels of lovely dolls and wagons and fire engines and patrol wagons and lit tle houses and fuzzy cats and old toy cows with bells on and sets’of dishes and tops and all sorts of other jimcracking things. Dr. Cook says that Santa told him he was going to give away every blessed top to good boys and girls. Peary says that when he called on Satfta the old fel low said he was thinking of using an air shjp to get his toys onto, the roofs ot houses this year, because his reindeer had such a big load that ha was afraid they couldn't pull it. ’ * The explorers won't tell of all the things they saw in the shop, but Dr. Cook says ho did see a lot of little air ships like this: They are made of silk and wire, and they really fly through the air. Ths pro-pell-er wheel is made to go around like lightning by a piecq of twisted rub ber or a spring. »’ . Peary says he saw a little steamboat that really floats, and is also driven by a pro-pell-er which is made to go around by a spring. Just like this: & |DDOfIJDDDjODj z Dr. Cook says that because Teddy Roosevelt is hunting big game in Africa, Santa thought it would be nice to give some of the children lions and tigers and other wild animals. And because Dr. Cook and Peary both got to the pole, Santa lias fixed up quite a lot of polar bears. Here's the pictures of a bear and lion: Peary said he saw a lot’ of dainty, dimply, darling dolls, but he remembered only ohe well eirpugh to make a picture of it. It was a funny little Dutch boy with a checkered pap.. P4ary also saw a fine elephant, very big, and made of leather, with IWa'ck beads for eygs. He says it didn't have any tusks. ifni 'Bt dw But these are only a few of the thin gs old Santa has for his good children.

Atlanta. Ga. H Cythia Grey s Correspondence There seemg to be a growing desire for highly spiced food, such as Hunga rian goulash and dishes of that ilk. Mex ican dishes are peppery and appetizing, and many northerners who have visited In Mexlca and partaken of their food cotne back with a new and acquired taste. Some of these recipes make splendid one dish suppers, which a busy mother may serve and feel assured that she is not neglectful of her little flock. "Anxious.” "Mrs. A. J.,” "Young Housekeeper” and **R. F. D.” wish a recipe for chile con came, or Mexican chile, and I axn very glad to give the one I use- Possibly It is not the real Mexi can recipe, but It is very good. I make it with beefsteak. The meat is browned In olive oil, then covered closely and cooked until tender with a little water. Six red chiles which have been stewed and run through a sieve are added with a little garlic and thyme and two cups of boiled rice. When ready to serve the gravy must be thickened with flour or corn meal. - “Anxious Mother”, asks for a tamaJe recipe. Boil one large chicken with suf ficient salt, five chopped onions, one clove of garlic, five cloves, five allspice, two chile red peppers and a stick of cin namon. When the chicken is tender take all the meat from the bones and cut Into small pieces. Strain the broth and re turn to the fire with and enough corn meal to make a mush. After boil ing 10 minutes add one can of corn and 1 1-2 pounds seeded raisins, one cup of peas and a cup of string beans cut up. Add cayenne pepper to taste, and If mush is not thick enough add a little nipre meal. Fill corn husks with the mush, tying them up carefully. Roll or steam a half hour and serve. • • • Dear Miss Grey: How can I clean a baby’s white curly bearskin cloth coat? Washing takes the curl out. Please give me a recipe for a good marble cake. i ~ f MRS. A. Y. Answer —Lay the coat on a table and it thoroughly with corn meal. Take the palm of the hand and rub it through the eloth, then scrub it dry with a clean, stiff bristled brush. Then shake out. If not clean, repeat the process, and you will be satisfied with results. To make the white part of marble cake, sift two and one-half cups of flour. Cream one-half cup of butter with one cup of granulated sugar. Add onehalf cup of sweet milk and the sifted flour. Then fold In the whites of four eggs, beaten stiff, and a teaspoon of vanilla. • For the dark part stir until smooth one-half cup butter and -one cup brown sugar. • Add the beaten yolks of four eggs, one-half oup of molasses and one-half cup of sour mjik. Add to one and one-half cups flour a teaspoon each of soda,' cloves, cinna mon, mace and grated nutmeg, and sift together. Stir Into the mixture.
