HOME EDITION VOLUME XIX, No. 354. 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 Vide fair to be one of the prettiest —— =rTHE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES ====== THE AUGUSTA HERALD SOCIETY NEWS ment has been an open secret it was not very generally known that the marriage was lo occur just now. Cor dial congratulations wait them on their return to Augusta and many are the good wishes expressed for their hap piness and prosperity. 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. TANGO CLUB MEETS MONDAY.
