Church Fairs Forerunners of Christmastide BAZAAR SEASON OPENS y Miss Rosetta Wrigley at the doll Women Begin Annual Culinary Campaign For Funds For Holiday Festivities. B v Evelyn Wren rite Christmas spirit is in town and the bazaar season is open. That's yrhy the stores along Peach tree street left temporarily vacant are being filled with women as bu«y as bees, draping counters with linen cov ers and spreading out cakes and dough nuts and fudge. The vvomen are pre paring to earn money for theii churches, the Sunday school Christmas trees and the stockings for the little folk wiio might otherwise find no gifts on Christmas morning. The men have a thousand ways of making money. Ask a mere man to give io a Christmas fund and lie either says he hasn’t the money or dig.s down in his pocket and pays it over. But the women must earn theirs. Find Fun in Running Bazaars. No, it's not because they haven't tin allowance or because their husbands are stingy. But every woman likes to feel that she is giving something of her own. something actually earned, not merely distributing a part of the money her husband gives her. That is the reason for church festivals and bazaars. And they're fun. too. They give Mrs. Adams a chance to see Mrs. Brown and meet Mrs. Copp and observe what Mrs. Dobbs and Mrs. Evans are wearing. They give Mrs. French an opportunity to talk over Mrs. Grant’s party with Mrs. Higgs. They furnish a chance to learn th' recipe of Mrs. Ingle's famous sponge cake, and Mrs. Jackson's raisin pudding, and so on through the whole alphabet and back. And what if the materials and the gas and the cooking do cost as much as the price the cake brings, what differ ence does that '« make? They are chatged in the t egular grocery bill any way and nobody feels the difference. Several Bazaars Opened. Several of the Christmas bazaars opened today. The Ladies Aid society of the West End Presbyterian church is bolding its sale at 64 Peachtree street. I'he Sacred Heart church is holding its bazaa and restaurant at 168 Peachtree street, and the women of St. Philips opened theirs at the cathedral, with a midday luncheon as a drawing card for busy business men. The Pome DeLeon Baptist commit tee opened its bazaar at the home of Mrs. Rutherford Lipscomb. Park Street church will have its sale today and to morrow, and Westminster Presbyterian will begin its annual bazaar next Fri day. Others are being announced every day and they will continue until a day or two before Christmas. The girl you danced with last night is wearing a white apron today and icady to sell you a pound cake, a Dutch collar, a jabot or a rag doll with a face made of a much-abused golf ball.

Quietly and slyly be slipped into Dan Carey's office in the city hall, his eyes downcast. Then, at a familiar greeting from Mr. Carey, be raised his beat! and his black face brightened xvith a broad smile. “Ise out. Mr. Carey," he said. ‘Have they had you all this time?’’ Mr. Carey asked. “Yes. sah,” said Will. "I wusn't guilty, but <ley underminded me an’ sent me out. Dam detectives said I knowed a whole lots. I tole dem if dey knotted I knowed . it dey coyl' jes’ go ahead and fin' it out.” ' Then Will continued a rambling, inco herent discourse of how he was convicted i and .-ent to the stockade, xvhere he only had to do such light work as cooking and pressing clothes. It seemed that he would never reach the end of his story until Mr. I’arey asked him if he had any money. “Not a cent." lie replied, cutting short his narrative, well satisfied with the cli- ; max. Mr. Caiey liainled him a dollar. The smile of gratitude be received was full ' value. “That's a good negro,” said Mr. Carey, when Will had gone. “We caught him acting as the agent of a ‘blind tiger' out ■ at Grant park, xvhere he worked as a janitor, lie got none of the profits from the sale of the liquor, but he went to the stockade before he would tell who xxas the real ‘blind tiger.' “When a negro is faithful, he is the most faithful creature on earth.” Atlanta Theater TONIGHT and THURSDAY Matinee Today 2:30 MAURICE CAMPBELL Present* C HENRIETTA ROSMAII IN The Real Thing -BY- CATHERINE CHISHOLM CUSHING.

Declaring that the success of the present stockholders' suit against the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Company means hopeless insolvency for the or ganization, endangering the position of the policyholders, state insurance au thorities, through Attorney General Felder, xvent into superior court today xvlth a petition substantiating the al legations made in the Sudderth suit. Charges of mismanagement, extrava gance and fraudulent organization made by the stockholders were reiterated by the state. The insurance department brought charges against the company of specific violations of the new insur ance law. It was recited that since August 24 stock salesmen for the Cosmopolitan Company, acting through Joel F. Armi stead, its general agent, sold IG6 shares of stock at S2OO a share and xvere paid 37 1-2 per cent, or $75 a share, commis sion. The new insurance law prohibits the payment of more than 10 per cent on the sale of stock. Call* Organization Illegal. In demanding that the charter of the Cosmopolitan be revoked and the com pany’s affairs be turned over to the in surance department, Attorney General Felder maintains that the company’s organization was illega’. inasmuch as the minimum capital required by law has never been subscribed. Out of 10,000 shares authorized by the charter it is alleged but 4,666 1-2 shares have been subscribed. It is asserted that stockholders of the company met and elected officers and directors before the stock was-le gally subscribed, in violation of the state law. The state contends that tlie manage ment of the Cosmopolitan has been un businesslike and extravagant, salaries have been too high; too expensive quarters have been maintained, and the company’s surplus dissipated and its capital impaired. Officers of the com pany are accused of borrowing large sums of money to loan on real estate and letting it out at the same rate of interest at which it was borrowed. Insolvency Threatened. According to the state, the stock holders now suing in the case on trial before Judge George L. Bell represent $221,600 of the company’s capital. Should they win their suit, the com pany will be hopelessly insolvent. Judge Arthur Powell, acting for the stockholders, closed the argument in the suit at 2 o’clock this afternoon and Judge Beil announced that he would take up the state’s case tomorrow. it is expected that the state’s suit will hold the boards in Judge Bell’s court for the remainder of the week, as attorneys for the company will make a xvarm fight on the state's witnesses.
