SUNDAY, DECEWScr? 27. Society THE LION’S WHELPS. When she whelped them forth to the ends of the .earth And licked their eyes to light. Did she know that the cubs she was giving birth • Would learn the law of the fight? Was she given to know that the day would come When the foe would seek her life, And she could with a syllable bring them home To share her mortal strife. They have answered, each British lion’s whelp, They have gone to their mother's side. They were grown and ready and strong to help , When the word came over the tide. To heaven's four winds she flung her call For all they had to give: “Not one of you lives if England fall, Nor dies if England live.” When the foe had struck and her need was sore, She called to them to come. And the air was shattered with roar on roar As the lion’s whelps went home. —S. S. Rittenberg in Charlotte Ob server. FRUIT CAKE GIFT FOR 52 YEARS. Following a custom that has ob tained for fifty-two years, the family of Dr, Charles Crouch, of Petersburg, Va„ has sent to the family of A. T. Holt, of Macon, a big Christmas fruit cake. The cake arrived Wednesday | afternoon and was cut for the Christ inas dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Holt. During the war between the states, A. T. Holt was stricken ill and was taken to the home of Dr. Crouch. A bond of friendship drew them close together and on the Christmas follow ing Mr. Holt's sojourn at the Crouch home, Mrs. Crouch sent him a big fruit cake as a token of friendship the fam ily held for him. For fifty-two consecutive years a fruit cake has been sent to the Holts. Several years ago whon Dr. Crourh died, Mrs. Crouch continued the cus tom and at her death her daughter took up the custom, so the cake now' comes from Mrs. J. W. Crouch. Mr. Holt died a few years ago and his son. Charles C. Holt, of Culver street, who was named for Dr. Crouch, receives the cake The same recipe used 52 years ago is still used in making the cake and the Holts say it is the finest they have ever tasted.—Macon Telegraph.

The weekly style bulletin of the Fash ion Art League sent to its members yesterday through its president, Mine. Alla Ripley, describes the new' style as follows: “Women of fashion are showing their preference for the ‘Robe Tail leur’ or one piece coat-dress and it it seems destined to great popularity as the season advances. The smartest style is in white although dark shades may be worn. The dress coat will prove especially popular for Califor nia. and Florida w'ear and it is likely that the garment will be in great de mand for those attending the Califor nia fair because of its adaptability to traveling conditions. With the coming of this garment conies the extinction of the shirt waist. It has outlived its days of popularity. "The vogue of the coat-dress marks the recognition by exclusive dressers of a garment that has been wmrn to some extent in one form or another for several years. Fine serge, gabar dine, silk cashmere, satin cloth, faille, taffeta and poplin are all suitable materials and will meet every individ ual requirement. The colors include black, navy blue, bottle green, seal brown, sand, putty and grey. For Cal ifornia and southern wear and among the smartest dressers white will pre dominate. “The style of this garment may in ’ elude any adaptation of a flaring skirt and a long fitting sleeve with a short jacket-effect bodice to be w'orn with an adjustable guimpe with or without a high collar. The high stock collar will be in decided evidence again this spring but that is only another fashion caprice that demands a low neck for fall and winter and a high neck for spring and summer.” MR. RAWORTH’S CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. Many little hearts w'ere made glad this morning w’hen the children at the Sibley Day Nursery W'ere ushered Into the assembly room where the big Christmas tree stood ablaze with lights and laden with gifts for everyone. Santa Claus came bustling in and af ter the children had sung a son, each little girl rereived a doll and every little boy a drum, or gun, or a base ball and bat. or other toy, together with a big bag of fruit, candy and nuts. Happiness reigned supreme. Every little face, from the tiny baby in his cradle to the big boys and giris was bright and shining with Christmas joy. This tree, the toys, eto H were a per sonal gift from Mr. T. S. Raworth, the genial president of the Sibley Mill, whose largeness of heart finds an out let in this direction each Christmas time. To Mr. Raworth also are the hundreds of employes of the Sibley Mill indebted for a gift of fruit and sweets. This donation is usually mads by the mill hut on account of the ex isting conditions this year the direc tors did not think it advisable to make this outlay, so Mr. Raworth generously came forward with the offer to person ally provide each employe of the mill with the usual bag of fruit, candy and nuts with his best wishes for their happiness and well being. WAR MAKES WOMEN DIVINE. Will Irwin, special war correspond ent of The American Magazine, con tributes to the January number of that publication an article entitled "Ha's < >ff to France” in which he devotes a large part to showing what the wo men are doing for their country—how the; have taken hold and are doing pretty nearly everything that their able bodied husbands and sons used to do. Following is a little extract from the article: "In the intervals between their other cares, the women knit—knit eternall; and to better purpose than those Pa risian women who knitted about the guillotine when heads were falling. Winter is coming on. It will be cold campaigning along the great line. The boys will need warm stockings and mufflers. The great spinning dlstric's of the north being in German hands, the supply of yarn Is falling short. Madame is raveling her knitted arti cles of household adornment for yarn. "It was one of these knitting women who summed up for me all the wom anhood of France in this period of tragic stress. I had stopped at an inn on the road between Havre and Cau debec. The waitress laid down her knitting as she rose to serve me. When she had attended to my wants, she took it up again. She was of the blond, Norman type, a comely girl enough. She was dressed in black, and the out lines of her eyes were blurred. In her pose over the knitting. In every move of her, appeared a divinity of grief—a Madonna quality. "I watched her a long time surrep titiously before she called up a mem ory. Two years before I had put Into this inn with a gay automobile party. This very maid had served us—and slanged us. She wis the French ver sion of the lively, impudent American waitress who keeps her wits sharp by bandying repartee with traveling men. the type which our playwrights love. Now. she was doing a man's work ns the hotel porter as well as her woman's work. I suppose that war such as this, with Its wholesale machine-made murder, renders most men brutes, at least for the time. But it renders wo men divine." PUBLIC HEALTH POSTPONED.
