And although the modern system of publicity Is often harassing and embarrassing, we find ourselves wish ing for it Just now in our industrious search of any scrap of Information of those former weddings at the White House. Old books, long out of print, are dragged from library shelves and returned with a sigh be cause they contain such meager statements of those unreported events. The most careful research will probably never disclose the particular kind of turban worn by Dolly Madi son when her sister. Lucy Payne Washington the first bride of the White House, married Judge Todd, of Kentucky, nor the dress she wore when her cousin a little later be came the wife of He presen tat ive John H. Jackson of Virginia, yet everyone would like to kuow then* things, nearly every woman Is hon est enough to say so. Only Two Rooms Used. Only two rooms In the White House have ever been used for these mar riage ceremonies and It is fairly cer tain that those in Dolly Madisons time did not take place In the spa cious Hast Room, which whs used by Mrs. John Adams for drying clothes and served as a playroom for the children during the two succeeding administrations. It was not until James Monroe be came President that the Hast Room received its handsome furnishings from Paris, and thereafter was used for most of the formfcl and state functions. Marla Monroe used the Blue Room as the scene of her marriage, and during the ceremony this third bride of the White House stood with her patriotic little feet .-n a figure of the American eagle, which was woven into the carpet Officialdom was not lepresented ut this wedding The guests were restricted to relatives and friends, hut details found in old letters show the occasion to have been a brilliant one The bride was gowned in white Georgian silk and long tulle veil. Washington a Small Town. Eight thousand persons composed the population of Washington at that period, and it is described by a vis itor as “possessing the Inconveniences of both a village and a city without the advantages of cither' The observer is exceedingly severe on Its life. • • • “There are elements here to form good society,*’ she is quoted as saying, but disposed on so large a space that people are seldom brought together, except in immense ly crowded assemblies, w here It mat ters little whether a man is a fool or not. provided he can fight his wav through." This sounds very like a criticism of modern conditions, but It dales back almost one hundred years! The marriage of John Adams, son of John Quincy Adams, and his cous in. Helen Jackson, the fourth White House wedding, took place in 1826. During the Jac kson administration three weddings were celebrated, the fifth, sixth and seventh. The partici pants were Delia Lewis, whose father was the President's friend, and M. Alphonse de Pagot. secretary of the French legation; Mary Easton, the President's niece, and Luclen B. Polk, and Emily Martin and Lewis Ran dolph Where Were These Held? Did these weddings take place in the East Room, where during this period the women of the President's household, oftentimes joined by the wives of Cabinet Ministers, sat by the open Hr** and sewed, while the President received important foreign dispatches at the hands of Ids Sec ro tary of State, and the Done Ison chil dren whooped and raced up and down its spacious length? Following this group conies Letitia Tyler’s msrriafe to William Walter, the eighth In the White House It was said that she looked “surpassingly lovely in her wedding gown and long, blonde, lace veil" (a delicate old lace completely out of fashion). Nearly 40 years later the ninth wedding took place, and Nellie Grant, in the East Room, was married to Mr. Algernon Sartoris. of England This brings us to the period of ac tive newspaper reporting, and noth ing was left undescribed that possi bly could interest an eager public. Then Cleveland's Wedding. The tenth bride. Emily Platt, niece of President Hayes, was married to General Russell Hastings In the Blue Room In this same charming room ten years later, amidst a wealth of flowers. Frances Folsom, the eleventh bride. married President Grover Cleveland. In February. 1906. the twelfth mar riage took place, when Alice Roose velt married Representative Nicholas Longworth In the East Room HERE'S THE CHRISTMAS SEAL AND THE RULES FOR USING II I T is important 1o observe the simple rules laid down , by the postoffiec department with reference to seals on matter son! through the mails. Only three countries J of the world—Austria, Nor- 1 way and Portugal—forbid ; the use of the seals on mail at all. They may he used on letters and packages sent to or re- eoived from all other countries of the world, if the rules are fol- ! lowed. i First the seal must not be placed on the front or address side of a letter or package; if placed on the hack it is all right. The next rule is that on all mail matter sont to foreign countries, if the seal is used on the back of the package, full postage must, be prepaid. This rule docs not apply in the ’ United States. Observance of these rules will safeguard any package upon j which the seals are placed. Downtown Pedestrians Will Find it Hard to Dodge Philanthropic Workers. They Have Families to Support, and Demand Right to Get Fat or Grow Beard. With the coming of December, the 1913 campaign for the. sale of Red Cross Christmas seals In Atlanta will open vigorously. Preliminary organ ization has been completed. Mrs. J. O. Bagwell has volunteered to organize and take charge of the young women's business committee whose work will be done during the next week or ten days. She will be assisted by Miss Genevieve Suunders, chairman of last year's committee. Mrs. Bagwell has called a meeting of the young business women of At lanta to be held at the rooms of the. Young Women's Christian Associa tion, Carnegie Way, near Peachtree, at 6; 15 o'clock p. m., Tuesday. Atlanta’s business women did splen did work last year in behalf of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and this season. Mrs. Bagwell will have this year are expected to do as well this season. Mrs. Bagwell will ahve a sufficient number of seals at this meeting to supply all who come. The business women will take Immediate charge of placing of seals in the va rious business offices of the city. General Campaign Follows. The general campaign, Including wiles of seals upon the streets and In the stores, will follow immediately upon the work of the business wo men. The ambition of the Atlanta committee Is the sale of 1,000,000 of 200,000 Pairs of Bad ‘Specs’ Sold in Year ST LOUIS, Nov. 29.—The trial of Rarny and Morris Goldman on a charge of using the malls to defraud began In the Federal Court here. It is charged that the Goldmans, managers of the Dr. Haux Spectacle Company, advertised In weekly news papers to semi a of $5 spectacles to any one who mailed them a coupon attached to each advertisement. Coun sel for the Government stated they would attempt to show that the Gold- mans never Intended to forward spec tacles in return for the coupon. The Government claims that the spec tacles were such as no reputable oculist would sell and that the Goldmans sold -00.000 pairs a year. RETURNS AFTER 42 YEARS. WTLKESBARRE, PA.. Nov. 29.— Forty-two years ago Dennis Shevlln mysteriously disappeared. He returned the other day and brought a w ife. the seals in Atlanta and vicinity. East Point, Hapevllle, College Park and Chattahoochee are Included In the Atlanta district this year, and It Is Interesting to note that last year, in proportion to population, (,’ollege Park took more seals that any other com munity in the State. The street sales will be in the hands of many of Atlanta's best known and most popular young ladles, who have volunteered for the work this year In larger numbers than ever before. They wiir 4*xke hold of the work two full weeks before Christmas, and they are going out with a determination to fulfill the expectations placed In them. The average citizen last year found It practically Impossible to get by these young ladles without making a purchase, and this year It is going to be more difficult than ever. Then there are the bov scouts. Un der Philip Weltner. The Scouts have voluntarily come forward and offered their services for the entire month of December. The boys do splendid work and there is no doubt their ef forts will materially assist the cause. Further effort will also be made to add to the open air school fund, w hich now has $1,000 In the bank, as the result of sales of seals last year by the children of the public schools. It is hoped this year to add even more than that and to get enough to estab lish and maintain for one year At lanta's fitst open air school. NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Chorus boys j have families to feed. Chorus girls ! (some of them) have grandchildren to j educate. They have tried to do i on nothing a week while rehearsi ig and on $16 a week while showing. / j But it has been a failure. That’s why ^[the International Alliance for Chorus People was produced for the first time in the rooms of the Women's Trade Union League, No. 43 ^ast Twenty- second street, last night. That only 40 chorus boys and a doz en chorus girls—most o? 'em out of a [ job—attended the meeting doesn’t da- tract from its seriousness. Most of the countries of the vorld were reo- resented, it wag r>ointed out. So "In ternational'' Is not a misnomer. One chorus girl, who indignantly denied that she weighed 300 pounds, drew sympathetic tears by describing how she was “fired" from a Broadway chorus because of her constantly In creasing plumpness. Ability Alone to Count. “And if we have a union," she said, "it won't make an difference how stout w'e get. We’ll hold our jobs because of our abillt”." This same girl didn’t pay her 50- cent initiation fee in the new organi zation. She asked if anyone had change for a $50 bill. Nobody had. A chorus hoy, who announced he had eight children and unappreciated genius, said: “If we come on stage without a shave, these young managers wax of ficious. Even If we should weir beards, what is wrong about that? A beard is an honorable possession. When our union is formed, thank heaven, a beard or two in the chorus won't matter." Miss Mary Dreyer, president of the Women’s Trade Union League, spoke first. She said it was wrong for cho rus people to be forced to rehears sixteen weeks without pay. She thought chorus people should organ ize. Miss Melinda Scott talked next. James A. Helbron. the temporary chairman, talked after that, and Or ganizer Duffy raid a few words. When the speaking was over, ini tiation dues of 50 cents were called for —and the rooms were emptied quick ly* Fifty Girls Use One Room. The chorus girl who said that 50 girls had to undress in ono room in a theater in Manhattan drew an inter ested crowd when she continued: “There is a window in the room." “Where is it?" asked the chor s men. “Oh. what I mean." she sniffed, “13 that there is a window in the roof that the management never opens, so that we never get enough ventilation.’ “And I’ve had to make my changes In a room with 6° Other girls With only a sheet between us and a lot of supers," a new voice Interrupted. “The modestv of chorus girls must and shall be protected," said a chor is boy. "Our union will see to that." GIRLS! BEAUTIFUL. Prizes Await Boys and Girls Who Take Orders for American and Georgian. Santa Claus sometimes impresses you as being a rather forgetful per son.

It is often difficult to tell just what Is the matter with a crying, peevish baby or child too young to express its feelings in words, but a? a general rule the mother will find that there is a tendency to constipation, which has brought on a headache or nervousness. The littl'e one has no pain, but feels "out of sorts.” The first thing to try is a family remedy containing good but mild laxative properties, and many mothers will pay that their choice would be Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep sin. Thousands of mothers keep it in the house for such emergencies, among whom may be mentioned Mrs. John Kirch, Jr.. 1527 Abstract Ave.. Pittsburg, Pa. She has been giving it successfully to little Wai ter. whose picture we present at three months, when he weighed 14 1-2 pounds. He is a healthy, laughing youngster to-day and Mrs. Kirch gladly gives Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin credit. It saves many an illness and many a large doctor bill, for by administering it prompt ly when the first symptoms of ill ness are noticed it prevents a se rious ailment. It Is so pleasant-tasting that no child will refuse it, and as it does not gripe, the child Is glad to take it again. A bottle can be obtained of any druggist for fifty cents or one dollar, the latter being the size WALTER J. KIRCH bought by families already famil iar with its merits. Results are al ways guaranteed or money w'ill be refunded. Syrup Pepsin is for all the family from infancy to old age, and be cause of its mildness families should prefer it over all other rem edies. It is absolutely safe and re liable. You will never again give cathartics, pills, salts or such harsh physics, for they are usually un necessary', and In the case of chil dren, women and elderly people are a great shock to the system, and hence should be avoided. Families wishing to try a free sample bottle can obtain It post paid by addressing Dr. W. B. Cald well, 419 Washington street, Mon* ticello. III.
