toy stkewn house.
Give me the house where the toys
are strewn,
Where the dolls are asleep in the
chairs,
Where the building* blocks and the
toy balloon,
And the soldiers guard the stairs;
Let me sleep in a house where the
tiny cart
With its horses rules the floor.
And rest comes into my weary heart,
For I am at home once more.
Give me the house with the toys
about,
With the battered old train of cars.
The box of paints and the books left
out,
And the ship with her broken spars;
Let me stop in a house at the close
of day
That is littered with children’s toys,
And dwell once more in the haunts
of play
*With the echoes of by-gone noise.
are seen,
The house where the children romp,
And I’ll happier be than man has
been
CHILDREN’S MASQUERADE
PARTY NEW YEAR’S DAY.
A happy party took place on Thurs
day afternoon from 3 to 5 o’clock at
the Y. W. C. A. new athletic build
ing, when about thirty-five happy chil
dren enjoyed a masquerade party.
All sorts of games were played, and
Miss Leith and Mrs. Carrol Proctor
helped to entertain the little folks.
There was a grand march in which
all the children took part, and then
ice cream was served in cones.
At the close of the entertainment the
prizes were awarded. Miss Helen
Capps went as "A Mad March Hare,”
and was given the prize for having
the pretti.st costume. Roth prizes
were boxes of candy. Masters Ste
phen Upson and Harry Erwin Tal-
madge were dressed to represent the
Gold Dust Twins, and the. prize for
the funniest costume was divided be
tween them.
Many very lovely costumes were
worn by the little tots, and some of
the gowns and suits of the older girls
and boys were quite elaborate. Among
the prettiest costumes was that of
Miss Louise Upson. She wore a
Spanish dress, the skirt of red with
many bands of colored ribbons on it.
Her blouse was white, and over it
was worn a bolero of gold embroid
ered cloth. The yellow paper dress of
the ‘‘March Hare” was beautiful. On
it were many little hares chasing each
Let me see the liter of bright-eyed
play
Strewn over the parlor floor,
And the joys I knew in a far-off day
Will gladden my heart once more.
Whoever has lived in a toy-strewn
home,
Though feoble he be and gray,
Will yearn, no matter how far he
roam,
For the glorious disarray
Of the little home with its littered
floor
That was his in the by-gone days
And his heart 'will throb as it
:hrobbed before
When he rests where a baby plays.

DID CHILD WAKE UP
CROSS OR FEVERISH?
Look Mother! If tongue is coated give
“California Syrup of Figs” to
clean the bowels.
'Neath the gilded dome of pomp, j other. A big, fluffy paper cap was
worn, it also being of yellow.
Miss Louise O’Callaghan went as
a squaw and Miss Mary Johnson made
a dear Red Riding Hood.
Misses Lois and Lucy Lampkin both
were dressed as Indian maidens, and
Elizabeth Curry went as a red rose.
Master Cobb Edwards, of Atlanta,
was ‘‘Mustache, the cowboy,” and
wore a cow puncher’s costume and
wide brimmed hat. He had a most
‘‘artistic” mustache, which gave him
quite a funny appearance.
Little Miss Marjorie Upson was
one of the tiniest tots present, but
she was as equal to her part as were
any of the older ones. She wore
long pink satin gown draped with
Spanish lace and a big pink rose was
worn on the skirt where the lace was
looped up. A bandeau of pearls con
fined her hair, and from it fell a
silver scarf of oriental design.
Miss Gertrude Parham made a
lovely doll and William Shelverton
was ‘•.lumpty Dumpty.” Miss Mar
jorie Hodgson was Red Riding Hood
and Miss Hazel Hodgson wore a pink
domino with pointed hood. Master
Reed Dobbs was a fine cowboy; Rey
nolds Dobbs was dressed as an Inr
dian brave, and Alex Beusse was a
train robber. Master August Kellar
a cowboy and wore a pair of
pucksk'r. ♦rnuRpra and flannel shirt,
and his hat was a broad brimmed one.
Miss Sarah Arnold was dressed
to represent “Priscilla,” and Miss
Dorothy Hodgson made a lovely debu
tante in her pink chiffon evening
dress with graceful train.
Master John Hodgson went as
Tom-o-chi-chi and wore his Indian
suit with chiefs head dress of feath
ers.
Miss Mary Sneed wore an old-time
dress and went as a colonial lady.
.Tames Sweeney was an Indian chief.'
Miss Mathilde Upson was dressed
as an old-fashioned lady.
Two of the most charmingly
gowned girls were Marjorie and Eliz
abeth Carroll. They wore crepe paper
dresses of green and white and thej
skjrts were made with wide *
over which fell white daisy petals. The
waists were of green leaves and white
petals, and each girl wore a fluffy
cap made of petals. They represent
ed two Shasta daisies.
Mother! Your child isn’t naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
'•oated; this is a sure sign its little
.stomach, liver and bowels need a
i leansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally, has
stomach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a
gentle liver and bowel cleansing
i-h mid always be the first treatment
given.
Nothing equals “California Syrup
jf Figs” for children’s ills; give a tea-
ip tonful, and in a few houra all the
foul waste, sour bile and fermenting
food vhich is dogged, in the bowels
passes out of the system, and you
nave a well and playfui child again.
All children love this harmless, de
licious “fruit laxative,” and it never
fails to effect a good “inside” clean
sing. Directions for babies, children
or all ages and grown-ups are plainly
on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A
little given today saves a sick child
tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of
‘'California Syrup of Figs,” then look
and see that it is made by the “Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company.” Counter
feits are being sold here. Don’t be
fooled! (Adv.)

BEAUTIFUL RECEPTION
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
Mrs! J. Y. Carithers and Miss Wit
cher entertained on Friday afternoon
with a large and beautiful reception
which was given in the handsome new
home of Mr. and Mrs, Carithers on
Milledge avenue.
The interior of the spacious home
is very handsomely finished and with
its elegant furnishings and beautiful
decorations it presented a scene of
rare and exquisite loveliness.
Many handsomely gowned women
called during the afternoon and the
scene which met them as they entered
the hall was one which will long be
remembered by them. Great vases
filled with stately Easter lilies stood
against the walls on tall flower stands
and on the mantle was a fragrant
bank of narcissus and feathery* ferns.
The strains of sweet music floated to
the guests from the rear of the 'ha!!
where was stationed ao nrehesetra,
and the vista which was seen of the
different rooms was one filled with
flowers and paims and ferns, over
which fell the soft rosy glow from
many pink silk shaded lights.
The library and den were decorated
much as was the reception hall, -Eas
ter lilies and narcissus being arranged
everywhere. In the punch room pale
pink carnations and narcissus were
banked on the mantle and stood in-sil
ver vases on cabinets and tables. A
tracery of bamboo half veiled the
painted walls in this lovely apartment
and the guests lingered here in admi
ration of the artistic arrangement of
the decorations. k
Mrs. Carithers greted her guests
the drawing room and receiving
with her was her mother, Mrs. Witch
er and her sister, Miss Lois Witcher.
Mrs. Carithers wore a charming
Worth gown of lavender colored cut
velvet, in the shade known as orchid.
The skirt was fashioned in » lovely
draped manner and fell in graceful
folds, forming a demi-train behind.
A satin American beauty rose gave a
novel touch to the corsage. Mrs. Ca
rithers held long stemmed American
beauty roses. Mrs. Witcher wore a
black chiffon dress trimmed with lace.
Miss Witcher wore « Parisian gown ol
crystal embroidered chiffon which
was fashioned over deep pink rose
satin. She carried a bouquet of pink
carnations. Miss Harfie Stockdell,
who also received, was becomingly
gowned in pale blue chifofn.
The drawing room was attractively
decorated with French baskets filled
with pink roses and valley lilies, and
formed a lovely back ground for the
receiving line.
The dining-room was done in pink
with quantities of pink carnations ar
ranged on mantle, buffets and china
cabinets.
The table was lovely in all its ap
pointments. A German lace tea cloth
with Madera cut work, was spread
over it, and the central ornament was
a tall silver vase filled with pink
carnations and delicate ferns. About
its base was a mound of carnations
and fragrant narcissus edged with
tulle and maiden hair ferns. The buf
fets were filled with these same love
ly blossoms and all the lights had rose
colored shades. Mrs. William B. Wil
kinson served coffee from a handsome
silver service at this charmingly-ap
pointed table.
Misses Miriam . Pope and Mozelle
Scudder served punch, and were as
sisted by* Miss Natilie Bocock, Susan
and Nina Scudd/r. Assisting in en
tertaining were Mrs. R. W. Lamkin,
Mrs. C. A. Scudder, Mrs. W. T. Bry-

An unusual feature of a wedding
ceremony took place here on the nijrht
While Miss Mary Virginia Saxon was
being married to John D. Hashagen,
at the home of her parents in Au
gusta, Dr. Willias G. Carl, organint
of the First Presbyterian church, on
Fifth avenue, played the wedding mu
sic 700 miles away. A sister and
friend cf the bride were hU audience.
Miss Saxon had asked Dr. Carl,
J wfto had been her wuaic it.other, to
go to Augusta to play at her wedding.
As the organist had to play for the
special New* Year’s service at his
church, this could not be done. The
partition of the ceremony was the re-
Just before the hour of the cere
mony Mr. Carl played first the
“Chinpes of Dunkerque” and then the
“Andante Cantabile,” by Widor, this
being the favorite symphony studied
by Miss Saxon while instructed by Mr.
Carl. At the time agreed upon for
the beginning of the actual ceremony.
Mr. Carl played• his newly created
“Chanson Nuptiale,” composed in hon-

of this exquisite composition was sent

Mr. George Reab’s Augusta ad
mirer. wilt he interested in learning
that an original poem of his appeared
in an after ChVistmas number of The
Athens H.rald. The poem is called
"The Bills” and i» printed with apolo
gies to Edgar Allen Po«, author of
“Thi Bell*.”—Auguita Herald.
Out of nearly $20,000,000 spent last
year in the treatment and prevention
of tuberculosis in the United States,
G9.3 per cent of the money was de
rived from public funds, either fed
eral. state, county or municipal. These
are some of the interesting figures
given in the annual statistical state
ment of the National Association for
^he Study and Prevention of Tuber
culosis, made public today. The
statement is based largely on actual
reports received from anti-tubercu-
losis agencies throughout the coun
try, but where reports were not avail
able, the figures have been estimated.
Treatment of tuberculosis patients
in the more thah 500 sanatoria and
hospitals of the country and the con.
struction of such institutions cost over
118,000,000 of the total expenditure.
Care of patients in dispensaries and
open-air schools cost about $825,000.
Anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees spent nearly $075,000 in
furthering their work of organiza
tion and education, while state and
local boards of health and special tu
berculosis commissions spent over
$250,000.
More than $13,800,000 60.3 per
cent of the total expenditures came
from public funds. The National As
sociation paints to this growing in
crease in the spending of public
money for tuberculosis as one of the
most significant facta in the report,
as it indicates the shifting of the
burden of institutional care of con
sumptives from the private purse to
the general public purse, where it
rightly belongs. Since 1909 the per
centage of public money snert in tu
berculosis work has increased from
53.5 to nearly 70 per cent.
New York state spent more money
in tuberculosis work than any two
other states, due largely to the In
creased and growing activities of city
and county governments in building
adequate hospitals for consumptives.
The following table shuws the esti
mated public and private expeikdituitod-^
in each of the five leading states:
Expenditures in 1913.
