Pierce-Kalbfieisch
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Kalbflei sch announce tlie marriage of their
daughter Ethel to Mr. John Pierce, of Augusta, Ga., which occurred yes
terday morning at the parsonage of the Kaptist church, Statesboro, Ga, No
cards.
Mrs. Pierce Is a very charming
young woman, bright, pretty and tal
ented. She has been associated with
the Statesboro high school for some
time where she has been teaching mu
sic. Mr. Pierce is a well known young
Augustan and although their engage
SOCIAL GOSSIP
The Christmas season is to be
a bright, happy and glad one. Al
most every body has responded to
the call for aid for a less fortun
ate sister or brother, the general
community has responded gener
ously to the call for aid and
everybody is doing their part to
wards helping others.
There are quite a number of
informal little affairs planned for
Christmas week and several large
ones. The Epsilom Phi will be
hosts at a Christmas night dance
at which about 250 are expected.
The Sans Souci will be opened on
Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday
and Friday nights, and on Christ
mas night the young women will
give a fancy dress ball at the Sans
Souci, which will be one of the
prettiest and most brilliant affairs
of the winter. Monday night the
younger set will entertain for the
visiting college girls and boys with
a dance at the Sans Souci, Bear
den’s Orchestra in attendance.
The young women of the Tele
phone Exchange will practice the
glad spirit of the Christmas sea
son today when they will give a
Christmas tree to a goodly num
ber of the poor children of the
city. The tree will be at the
Telephone Exchange and a few
friends of the young women have
been invited to witness the joy of
Ihe children.
The marriage of Miss Pearl
Bussey and Mr. E. G. Phinney
will take place Wednesday after
noon in New York, a quiet affair
without cards. The ceremony will
be performed at the Waldorf by
the Rev. Dr. Eaton, of Madison
Avenue Baptist Church. Almost
Immediately afetr the ceremony,
Mr. Phinney and his bride will
leave, for Quebec, where they will
spend several weeks at Chateau
Fontelac. Mrs. W. W. Bussey left
yesterday to be present at the
marriage.
The night after Christmas will
be a gala one at the Country Club,
as any number of supper parties
are being arranged for that night.
In the December number of the
American Homes and Gardens
there is a full page picture of an
old Salem, Mass., doorway in
Christmas trim. Garlands of
evergreens entwine the slender
columns of the portico; the door
way and balusters are outlined
with Christmas greens. Who could
help feeling the Christmas spirit
if he passed into a home through
such an entrance? Why can’t this
beautiful old custom be trans
planted right here in Augusta?
Of course it need not be elabor
ate, few houses are architecturally
suited to the scheme above. But
if you have a fan light above
your door think how beautiful a
holly wreath with a red bow on it
would look hanging there—on the
outside. Or a sheaf of holly or
mistletoe hanging to one side of
the door. It is so little to do,
yet it means so much. It is a
silent greeting, a sort of "Merry
Christmas" to the passer-by, and
to those who come nearer it is a
hand outstretched in hospitality to
he who enters in.
The Savannah Press and the Sa
vannah Associated Charities com
bined forces this year and have
for their Xmas fund for the poor,
almost SI,OOO. They are in hopes
of making up the other hundred in
the next few days. This is to be
a brighter Xmas for the poor of
Savannah than it has been in
many years, and happier also for
those who have contributed to
their cheer.
Owing to the recent bereave
ment In the family of Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Cranston, the debut dance,
which they were to have given on
the 29th at the Country Club for
Miss Gladys Teague has been call
ed off.
From far away Soochow, China,
comes the sad news that Miss Liz
zie Fleming is suffering from a
fall. Miss Fleming had occasion
to get up in the night and feeling
a slight dizziness fell. No bones
were broken, but the general
shake-up was pretty severe and
she has since been suffering with
her back. There is no woman in
the missionary field who is more
dearly loved than is Miss Flem
ing, who has devoted so many
years to the work, and friends
throughout the world who know
her only by name and reputation
join with others closer to her in
the prayer that she may be spar
ed for many more years of use
fulness.
Christmas night the Carol Sing
ers will flood the air with their
Christmas carols, each Sunday
school and all the church choirs
being invited to join in. As has
been previously stated the Sun
'day school children will sing
while marching to Barrett Plaza
to the tree, the carols they have
been practicing for Christmas
celebration. At the tree four
carols, which can be found else
where in these columns, will be
sung. Altogether ’he occasion

good wishes expressed for their hap

Nation No Greater Than Its
Women’s Heart Throbs
MISS KATE BARNARD.
New York.—“A nation Is no greater
than its women’s heart throbs.” This
assertion was made by Miss Kata
Barnard, who as Oklahoma’s State
Commissioner of Charities, is respon
sible for the child labor and prison re
forms and other humane planks in tha
Oklahoma constitution. "So long as
there are others without food and shel
ter women should refuse to allow their
husbands to house them In palatial
homes. Let them urge their husbands
to utilize the money they would oth
erwise waste In lavish expenditures by
helping to relieve star ving women and
children. Women's energy should be
used in expressing mother love to all
children of all nations.
and happiest that Augusta has
ever known.
Miss Pleasant Stovall is having
a delightful time. She is spend
ing the winter with her grand
mother, Mrs. Ganahl. Miss Sto
vall is not only a very pretty girl
but has that bright and sparkling
charm of manner that makes her
very welcome wherever she is and
missed wherever she Is not. She
is Just back a few weeks ago from
Switzerland, having been run
home by the war. Although
quite young she was a distinct
European social success and was
recognized as the most popular
girl in Berne. She is deliciously
pretty, with big dark eyes and a
head shimmering with hair that
shows the glint of sunlight with
every moment; a graceful dancer
she is always in demand as a
partner, and a bright, entertain
ing and clever talker, why should
she not be the success she Is and
a most attractive girl wherever
she is thrown. Oue wonders If
after all there Is not something in
a name.
Personality is a wonderful thing.
A few weeks ago Augustans had
the pleasure of hearing Dr. Caro
lyn Getsel give a splendid lecture.
One of the women in speaking of
Dr. Geisel remarked that she was
so impressed with her remarkable
personality that she at first ap
peared to her to he a woman of
large proportions, tall and very
commanding. When she went up
to meet her after the meeting one
may imagine her surprise when
she saw a small woman decidedly
under the average.
