A Respite on the Firing Line
Herald Carriers Give s2l to the
Goodfellows Fund in Augusta
The spirit of Goodffellowship is truly
abroad in the land, and there is no or
ganization or set of people that have
contributed more to this good feeling
eornrudship and good will than the
Herald Carriers who have donated
over twenty dollars to the Goodfeliow
Fund. This is a gratuitous contri
bution given with the slncerest of
good wishes to the children who
had expected ho little, if anything,
this Christmas.
Mr. VV. T. MacKendree, who is in
charge of tin* Circulation Department
of the Herald, made the suggestion to
the carriers that they would make a
donation. It was at once grasped at
eagerly, for even boys the age of a
carrier have the Christinas spirit ill
them and want to help make other*
happy. They contributed of their
means anywhere from ten to fifty
How to Cultivate Expression
Any Girl Can Do Wonders It She Really Tries To
By JANE McLEAN.
Some people do not believe that re
pose of feature can ever be as attrac
tive as vivacity, but in some cases it
is even more beautiful. Expression is
a gift of the gods; repose of feature
or gravity is what we make it. We
may make our faces express a great j
deal or we ma> wear a musk when we
are not smiling, it is all voluntary.
These pictures illustrate expression
In repose. The features are appar
ently without a smile, which ordinar
ily relieves the general droop of the
features which is almost sure to set
in as a reaction after one has been
talking and using plenty of facial
movements. Rut the features have
not drooped, there is a life about each
separate feature* which shows that j
although the face Is in repose admir- j
able control is being exerted not to al- i
low the features to droop and become j
Insignificant.
Many people when seeing the pic
ture of a girl considered pretty will I
g»uqi .vtth incredulity when they see
her minus her expression. Many girls I

REVIEWING THE TROOPS.
For the first t!' ein tTO year aan Kngltah monarch has gone to the fighting front in a war. Both Kin*

rents with thr result that the ftratify
inu sum of twenty-one dollars was to
day added to the Goodfeliow Fund.
And these donations were made by
hoys who are in no ways well off, yet
they did it uladly and with a beautiful
Christmas spirit.
Surely if small boys can help out a
Goodfeliow Fund, those older should
be willing to do their part, or should
if they have not contributed to such a
worthy cause. These little carriers
will come to you with their greetings
tomorrow. If you have not given to
the Goodfellows give them a larger
coin than you had at first thought to
give them, and in this way they can
in a measure not feel the strain
which they have voluntarily put on
their slender purses, and their Christ
mas will not be made less enjoyable

ers.
exclaim with tears in their eyes, ‘T
take a miserable picture, because all
my looks lie in my facial expression.”
Yet girls can make their pictures at
tractive If they will. They can force
expression out if they will exert
enough will power, and think hard
enough about the thing in mind. No
tice in these pictures that the mouth
is not allowed to droop at the corners.
That is the chief essential when tlie
features are quiet. A famous moving
picture star said once, "When 1 first
went into moving pictures I had my
greatest difficulty making my features
look attractive In repose. But I work
ed over It and finally won out."
Be careful to always force a smile
to the eyes. The easiest way to do
this is to think hard of some pleasant
I thing To have yourself in mind con
stantly foster t self consciousness, but
[ It will soon become second nature and

I all. The eyes anil lips are the most
important features to remember and
all details such as the arrangement of
I the hair should be carefully thought

out so as to gain the most becoming
effect.
Unless one has perfect features, to
be attractive in repose sounds diffi
cult, but it is quite within the power
of anyone who will try hard enough
and it is distinctly worth whole.

ELABORATE CHRISTMAS
EVE PROGRAM AT THE
MODJESKA THEATRE
“The Panther, a Broncho feature in
two ports; “Broncho Billy’s Double
Escape,” an Essanay production; “But
terfly Ring,” a Selig play, and a "Cor
ner tn Hats,” a Komic Komedy, are
the titles of the interesting plays on
the program at the Modjeska theatre
for today and evening. ‘The Panther”
in story form, follows:
Andrew McLeod, called the ‘‘Pan
ther” by the Indians because of his
cruelty, intends to marry Julie, daugh
ter of Francois Ledru, a French
trapper. In fear of McLeod, Julie runs
away, and the “Panther” wreaks his
rage upon the father, whom he beats
and kills. Julie, meanwhile, has fal
len in with two travelers, David
Brandt and a priest. Upon Brandt’s
offering to do anything whatsoever to
help Julie, she begs him to marry her.
The ceremony is performed by the
priest. Not long after, all three are
captured by McLeod’s Indians, whom
he has put on the girl’s trail. They
are taken to McLeod’s house where
Brandt is tortured, and Julie held a
prisoner. About this time, John CaT
ibou, learning of the death of his
friend Ledru, determines to avenge it.
He pretends friendship for McLeod,
who tells him to give Brandt a chance
to escape with Julie, then to kill
Brandt and bring Julie back to him.
Caribou really helps the young pa r
to make their getaway. Returning to
McLeod, he tells him David Drandt
is dead. On being told to produce
the body, he leads the murderer to
Ledru's grave, and there the Indian
shoots and kills the Panther.

Public Mind
WHY 10 CENTS FARE ON THE
LAST CAR?
To The Herald:
I would like to know by what right
the street railway company charges
10 cents to ride on the last car to the
Hill, which leaves about midnight?
Who regulates such matters, is it city
council or the railroad commission of
Georgia? Does the railway company
have to pay the motorman and con
ductor on that last car any more than
they do the other motormen and con
ductors? Is It any more expensive to
use power at that time of night than
other times? Is the wear and tear on
the cars greater after midnight than
before? The Georgia railroad might
as well charge more fare to Atlanta
on tlie train that leaves here at 2
o’clock each morning than the other
trains. It strikes me as being the
most utterly absurd proposition I have
ever heard of, and I wonder why the
people will continue to stand for it.
