MISSIONERS HERE TO BEGIN SERVICES. Special Series of Meetings at St. Paul's Begin To-<lny. "The Mission,” which is to be con ducted at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church tor the next ten days, will begin with the services at the church to-day. Rev. Fathers Huntington and Hugh son, O. H. C., arrived in Savannah yesterday and the first of the series of services will be held this morning. The complete programme of the "Mis sion” has been heretofore published In the Morning News. Both of the ministers who will con duct the special services are skilled In their work and understand men thor oughly. Their work has brought them in contact with all classes. "Missions” have been held in the slums of New York, in the hay fields of the country, and in districts whore only the wealthy classes are found. Asa result, all classes of men and women have been met, and the men who will conduct the services have learned from experience just what is necessary to make the meetings interesting. The services are not for the mem bers of St. Paul’s Church alone, but for all who desire to attend. The rec tor of the church. Rev. Gilbert A. Ott mann, has publicly extended a most cordial welcome to all Savannahians, no matter with what denomination they are affiliated. To the members of St. Paul’s Church an urgent invita tion is extended. The "Mission” is not a "revival” in the sense in which that word is gener ally used. There will be no attempt to create excitement and to arouse the emotions of the congregation. Doc trines of the church will be discussed and its teaching expounded. Questions will be answered and the great lessons of the church taught in their full meaning. The object of the services is to create a deep, earnest, spiritual awakening and to give a better under standing of the church and its doc trines. Rev. Father Huntington is a son of the late Bishop Huntington of New York, and is the founder and presi dent of the Order of the Holy Cross. Rev. Father Hughson has devoted his life to the work in which he is now engaged, and the rector of St. Paul’s feels that the church has been unusu ally fortunate in securing the services of two such experienced teachers. THE CHOIR’S JOB. New York, Dec. 10.—Bishop Henry Codman Potter, whose dedication of a chapel in memory of the late Alfred Corning Clark, (sewing machine multi millionaire, and the Bishop’s wife first husband) is an unusual but perfectly proper thing for him to do, h‘as as keen perception of the humorous as the next one. One of his many interests is the choir school at the slowly progressing Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Ex tolling the school's work to a friend one day, the Bishop said it reminded him of an Incident years ago in famous Grace Church. "A countryman was in the audience ono Sunday morning,” said the Bishop, "and when the first hymn was to be sung, he prepared to join in. The sexton, who had taken notice of his intention, tiptoed up to him and in an agonized whisper begged him not to. ‘Don’t sing,’ he sibilated, ‘they hire the choir to do that.’ The choir sing ing in those days w’as bad enough.” said the Bishop, "but the Cathedral Choir School of to-day is improving the church music wonderfully.” —Sir Lowthian Bell, one of Great Britain’s famous metallurgists, who visited the country fourteen years ago at the age of 75. has Just been elected president of the British Institute of Mining Engineers.

Golden Pnrse Strings Loosen to Give the Children of the Poor in Nevr York n Happy Day—How Mrs. Has sell Rage Gladdens the Hea.rts ot ■Working Girls at Christmas—Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's Christmas Trees. New York, Dec. 10.—The rapidly growing millionaire class in New York is as extravagant in its charities as in its cotillions and its Jewels. All the year around almoners of the very rich distribute gratuities, but at Christmas time silken and golden purses open even wider than usual and there is a prodigality about these gifts which insures a Christmas dinner if not a merry Christmas to all the poor of a city whose poverty has unques tionably been over-estimated. AH of the Christmas givers do not belong to the same class. There are those who give because they love the Christmas season, and they really sym pathize with the poor who benefit by their charities, and there are women, notably those who are anxious for so cial recognition, who rack their brains for original ways to benefit the poor and the sick, and incidentally to get their names in the newspapers. Many Ways of Giving. Some of the most admirable women give so quietly that news of their bounty never finds its way Into public THF BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT For Wife, Mot Her, Daughter iSister or By this Sign | These Machines you may know \ gfyp■‘ffifr-'L are never sold and will find \> to dealers.

Other women send typewritten accounts of their donations to city edi tors. Many women, famed for their generosity, have pet charities and real ly weary their friends by asking for donations for "The Home for Tired Shop Girls” or “The Settlement for World Wearv Seamstresses.” The simplest solution of the problem is to contribute toward the public din ners. Scores of millionaires give glad ly to those Christmas dinners, and the East Side halls are always rented for this day. Admission is by ticket and a few days in advance the poor of the neighborhood are invited to make application. No questions are asked, and often a youth with a boundless ap petite collects three Christmas dinners in one day. These dinners are usually under private auspices and the names of the donors are never known. The Gould* Lender* In Charity. Of all the wives of millionaires, the women of the house of Gould do the greatest amount of charity, and Miss Helen Gould is known all over the land as a thoroughly philanthropic woman. Miss Gould has under her especial charge The Robin’s Nest Home in Tarrytown, where hundreds of crippled children are yearly nursed back to health. Christmas day is a gala event for these little sufferers, and in the cozy parlor a huge tree stands laden with toys and books and “goodies” for Miss Gould’s protegees. Mrs. Edwin Gould and Mrs. Frank Gould assist at these Christmas fes tivities. To mention all the protegees of Miss Gould would be impossible. She visits the Y. M. C. A. houses regularly, and always provides some sort of entertainment for the friend less members on Christmas. Christmas at Lakewood. Mrs. George Jay Gould believes “that charity begins at home,” and her regiment’ of servants at Georgian Court in Lakewood have the most delightful Christmas parties. The Goulds have a dozen or more house guests, and the friends and the ser vants mingle at a grand ball, which Mrs. Gould usually leads with the butler. Then come games of "snap dragon” and “hide and seek,” and for 1 one day absolute equality is main- MUFFLERS Of Soft Persian Silk ... .90c to $2.70. Silk Umbrellas What more useful or appro priate present than a good umbrella. tained. Mrs. Gould gives munificent ly to the poor of Lakewood, and at the little hospital there is usually an especial dinner for the patients. Hempstead, Westbury and Roslyn in Long Island, are blessed by a charitable group of millionaires, and Christmas is observed by dinners and entertainments for the poor. The fol lowing women always arrange a Christmas entertainment for the pa tients in the Nassau Hospital in Mineola: Mrs. Foxhall Keene, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Mrs. Van Rennselaer Kennedy, Mrs. A. Butler Duncan and Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay. Only recently Mrs. Mackay opened her splendid estate, “Harbor Hill,” for the benefit of this hospital and cleared up SIO,OOO. She and her friends waited on the rustic folk of Long Island and served them with tea and less temperate drinks at extraordinary prices. Mr*. Belmont’* Poor Children, Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont is espe cially interested in poor children, and on Christmas all the ragged boys and girls of Hempstead are invited to her great white country mansion where a wonderful dinner is served by a French chef and his assistants. In the afternoon there is a vaudeville show, and the children take away tarleton bags filled with nuts and fruit, and with a crisp $1 bill folded at the bot tom. Last winter Mrs. James. L. Ker nochan was in mourning and early on Christmas day she drove over to the poor house near the estate followed by a surry filled with packages. She gave the aged poor the most sensible and gratifying gifts. The old men re ceived pipes with enough tobacco to last a year, and the women had knitted shawls and mittens. Mrs. Kernoehan’s practical charity is in contrast to that of another wealthy woman, sometimes known as “the most exclusive weman in America." Last Christmas she sent to the poor of the village near which her country house stands, hot house mel ons and FYench artichokes. The story runs that several up-state housewives made the strange melons into pies, thinking they were anew sort of pumpkin. The Vanderbilt Pnre* Open. The Vanderbilt women are little known for their charities. Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt gives a vaudeville show for several orphanages in the Bronx and provides a genuinely good programme. Mrs. William K. Van derbilt, Jr., takes part in all the Long Island bazaars and entertainments. Mrs. Reginald and Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt are Identified with chari ties in Newport. The many members of the Dodge, Phelps and Stokes families are busy on Christmas day. They have built up several "settlements” in the East Side, and at the University Settlement a grand entertainment is given every Christmas, All the neighborhood at tends and the concert programme is provided by distinguished musicians. Miss Melissa Stokes has as many in terests in the East Side as any woman in the wealthy class. Another wom an who secs that Christmas Is a bright day for the East Side poor is Mrs. Isidor Wormser, the banker's wife who has a long list of worthy families on her list. Mrs. Fish’s Christmas Trees, The three churches in Garrison, N. Y., are practically supported by Mrs, Stuyvesant Fish, and the Bun day-sqhools are entertained on Christ mas with well-laden tree*. Mrs. Fish and her daughter. Miss Marion, often appear and empty their gold purses for the children. Mrs. F!*h believes that children should be amused, and she has vaudeville artists on hand (or this purpose. Mrs. Eld ridge T.

Christmas dinner for poor children in New York and in Rye. Mr*. Sage’s Charities. Mrs. Russell Sage has many charita ble irons in the fire, and working girls are her chief interest. On all holidays she has entertainments for them and few women pass as much time in per sonal visits as Mrs. Sage. tNo list of charitable women would be complete without the name of Miss Leary, the picturesque spinster, who devotes so much op her time to women who are ill. Miss Leary has persuad ed her smart friends to send flowers after every entertainment to the hos pitals, and on Christmas morning Miss Leary brightens many a charity pa tient in the city hospital by plants or boxes of flowers. Before her marriage to William R. \\ illcox, Miss Martha Havemeyer gave up much of her time to her protegees in the slums. Her father’s enormous fortune was at her command, and she herself gave children’s parties on East er, Thanksgiving and Christmas for the Italians. Miss Havemeyer became a sort of saint in the eyes of those chil dren. Another young matron who is noted in this work is Mrs. John Mc- Cullough, formerly Miss Anna Dodge. In the Italian Colonies. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton McKay Twombly and their daughters are the boon of the Italian colonies near Mor ristown, N. .T. The Christmas ar ties they give for the little aliens are arranged by Mr. TWombly’s agents, but the result is none the less grat ifying. Mrs. Adolf Ladenberg believes in brightening the lives of children, and besides giving money to organiza tions, she buys toys and donates them secretly to poor children who live near her country home at Westbury. Although the Astors give bountifully to the large charities, they do little personal work. Mrs. Astor, like Mrs. Clement C. Moore, gives the servants in her home the most amazingly cost ly Christmas gifts. —Young Professor (who has taken her down to dinner) —"By the way.
