Who Will Flay Tomorrow at the Music Study Club Morning Meeting
The dance at the Phoenix club last
•\er.1ng with Miss Ceoile Rich as hostess
was one of the most enjoyable affairs
of the winter for the younger people. Miss
Rich invited 100 of her friends, and the
personnel of her list included many of
the most prominent young people in the
dancing set. The presence of visiting
folk has added to the gayety of affairs
at the Phoenix club during the brief mid
winter season, and last evening much of
the enjoyment arose from the part that
a coterie of vivacious and lovely young
* women and a number of young men
from out of town had in the dance and
the dainty supper which followed.
Miss Ricii is one of the younger beau
ties of Birmingham. Always exquisitely
gowned, her lovely dark eyes and expres
sive face alight with animation, she is
one of the admired personages in any as
sembly. She was attired for her dance
in a French robe fashioned of w hite chif
fon embroidered in pink roses and stud
ded with rhinestones; a rhinestone buckle
confined the drapery of tlie skirt and
garlands of pink rosebuds completed the
iiin.'ming of the bodice. She curried a
. great cluster of American Beauty roses.
One of the interesting visitors was Miss
Myrtle Levy of Indianapolis, who is with
Miss Mena Holzer. She was in light blue
mcssaline veiled in white chiffon, in
v hich was introduced a touch of pink.
Miss Holzer wore a stunning pink bro
cade gown.
Miss Irma Levi was noted in a white
c);urnicuse dancing frock trimmed wdth
marabout and crystals. She carried Amer
ican Beauties. ^Miss Claire Mayer, w'ho is
lier guest, was there in white charmeu.se
draped with coral chiffon. Jler flowers
were white roses. Miss Alice Levi wore
pink embroidered chiffon embellished with
real lace. Miss Minna Adler, who is tlie
guest of Mrs. Rdgar Adler, wore a crystal
robe over flesh tinted charmeuse in which
*he was most attractive. Miss Gold, who
is with Mr. and Mrs. Morris Adler, was
another visitor wearing a lovely ball
gown, and during the evening many were
noted in the throng of dancers in the ball
room.
The club was tastefully decorated for
>1 isc Rich's dance. Smilax, palms and
ferns were placed in the several apart

Dallas, Tex.—"I cannot recommend Car.
8ui, the woman's tonic, too highly,'’
writes Mrs. Tt. J. Dickson, of 'J907 Eryan
. 8treet, this city. “It is the greatest
boon to those suffering from womanly
trouble, In existence.
For 15 years, I was a sufferer from
such severe pains, caused from womanly
trouble, I could not walk, or even stand
on my feet, long at a time. 1 also had
backaches and headaches. I commenced
taking Cardui, the woman's tonic, and
now I can walk anywhere I want to, do
my own work, and feel better than I
have for ten years.
• X am so thankful that I took your med
icine, as I feel like a new woman en
tirely.
My advice to all women is to try
Caruui, the woman's tonic, when they
foel they need a tonic, as it will certainly
do for them what It has don* for me.”
Cardul goes to the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It is for the
weak, tired, nervous, irritable women,
who feel as though everything were
wrong, and who need something to quiet
their restless nerves and strengthen
their wornout systems.
Thousands .of women now enjoy good
health as a result of taking Cardui.Why
not you? Try it. At all druggists.

Children’s Wearables Needed
"The thought comes to me to tell you of
my ease and perhaps you may help me.
Some five and a half years ago, having
a beautiful home and all its comforts and
m ' children having outgrown their baby
hood, I adopted two beautiful little chil
dren from an orphans’ home—a golden
haired boy of 2 years and a beautiful blue
eyed girl of 5 months. These little ones
know me as their own mother, but for the
last two years I have been the unfor
tui ate loser of many thousands of dol
lars. In addition to my financial losses
our home burned a few months ago and
we had no chance to save anything, not
oven our clothing. 1 am not able to buy
ray little children what they really need
in clothing. Perhaps some of your read
ers have clothing which their children
have outgrown and they would be willing
to give to my little ones. I will gladly
pay all express charges. My little boy
is 8 years old, a sturdy, well grown little
fellow; the little girl is G. Anything
will be acceptable—underclothing, shoes,
stockings—anything a c hild could wear, no
matter if worn. I can repair and make
them over. MARY M.’’
T transgress two notable rules in pub
lishing this letter. In the first place it is
altogether too long for our Corner. In
the second, it contains a request for
clothing. J assume the right to break
the second rule about once a quarter. The
render who will go thoroughly through
‘the story here set down will forgive me
and comprehend wliy 1 could not with
hold it. The writer is a resident of Bir
mingham. Ala. The fact may give her a
closer hold upon the sympathies of other
Alabamians. It does not include the pos
sibility of receiving gifts from Maine to
California. The tie of brotherhood makes
t?me and space of no account.

‘‘1 notice that an offer lias been made
of reading matter. I am a Methodist
r.piscopal pastor, New York conference;

Something for Little Girls
T read the two requests for crutches. I
have a nearly new pair that I will gladly
send to any one in the Corner. I should
ako like the addresses of two little sick

me. May you long be spared to continue

DOLLY SAYS ONLY TRUE
LIFE IS ONE OF SERVICE
Real Religion Is a Garment That Must Be Worn Every Day In
the Week, Instead of a Cloak That Is Merely Donned For
Sabbath—A Niche In the Busy World—Its So Sim
ple and Easy to Be Honest
~v SOLLY DALRYMPLB
The secret of life, my friends, Is service!
This starts off like a sermon, but it
isn't—it's merely a fragment from the
diary of a busy woman's life, and I am
wondering in the beginning just how
many of us know the meaning of the word
“service.”
Do you know that “service" is doing
your share in making life move more
smoothly for the people about you?
That is doing your share to hasten the
day that shall be marked on the calendar
as "the millennium ’—that “red letter
day” of the world, when everybody shall
have attained the state of charity and far
reaching kindness, when he will be busy
doing for as he would be done by?
Of course, theoretically, you want that
day to come, and so do I, but it isn't com
ing right# for you or for me, unless we
get busy doing our little best to make
all the other people we know do their
best.
No—no—no!
It isn’t a question of church or even of
Sunday, so you needn't start retailing
your religious activities.
True religion is a garment that must
b? worn every day in the week, instead
of a cloak merely donned for the Sabbath.
Suppose while we are discussing things
we reduce the matter to a working bas.s.
I will assume that you are working for
your living, even as I am working ror
mine; that you have the satisfaction of
filling a niche in tlie business world, and
that you are contributing your share to
the world of business.

The saleswoman recalled that several
weeks before she had sold this lady a
pair of shoes, and reminded her in the
pleasantest way possible, that her feet,
if she remembered, were very much swol
len and distorted.
The saleswoman inquired very kindly
how they were now, and if the shoes had
given satisfaction.
She found that they had, and that tne
lady wanted some slippers and also an
other pair of shoes like those she had
bought.
Also—
From what the saleswoman was saying,
I could gauge that from the other end of
the ’phone there cume some very pleasant
and agreeable compliments for the little
saleswoman.
“Thank you so much,” I heard her say
gleefully. “Yes, 1 always feel an inter
est in my customers. You see, I like to
think that I’ve made them comfortable,
and I remembered that you were suffer
ing terribly that day, and I was afraid
the shoes didn’t fit properly. What’s
that? Oh, thank you. 1 am glad you
won’t have anybody but me to wait on
you, and I’ll always be glad vto serve
you in any way I can. Good-bye! Thank
you again.”
Do you understand from the way I’ve
told it what the girl in the shoe store
was doing?
It was her business to sell shoes, but
her Interests in the store she worked In
didn’t end, when she had fitted a pair of
shoes to a customer and turned her check
for the sale over to the Cashier.
No indeed f~
She w'anted to make a friend of her cus
tomer and keep her a satisfied patron of
the store, and i* it was humanly possible
she was going to retain that woman al
ways as a customer—for she was a good
one and a desirable one.
Then it was that I said to myself:
“Service!”
That little saleswoman is doing her
best to give service, that is worth her
salary on Saturday night.
She's not going to sell shoes all her life,
but it's a lucky shoe shop that can count
among its salespeople a girl who is truly
interested in shoes and making custo
mers stay as loyal patrons—at least while
she Is employed there.”
Service!
If you are selling shoes, my friend, don't
let your interest stop when the stock is
depleted by the sale of one pair of shoes.
‘‘My customers,” said the little woman
when fjhe was fitting me later,” arc all
to me that a physician’s patients are to
1dm. I think of a pair of shoes very dii
fernetly from most shoe clerks. A shoe,
you know, makes a well man ill if it
hurts him and a badly fitting shoe can
spoil a costume for a day, nay, even a
life! 1 try to'keep that always in mind.”
Another thing:
If you are working,^giving the best ser
vice that is in you to help along the
world, and to make a living for yourself,
don’t, my friends, give foolish pride a
place in your heart.
Don’t make “a bluff” about* your work.
If you have to work to increase your in
come in any way, what is there about any
form of honest endeavor of which ore
need be ashamed?
A maid recently applied to a housekeep
er of my acquaintance, asking for a posi
tion saying she had been living with Mrs.
So and So for a year.
“Doesn't she take boarders?” the house
keeper asked.
“Well, naw’m,’ said the maid, “she don’t
’zaetly keep boarders. She has er few
friends who jes’ comes ?n ther tek dcy
meals an’ a few others dat has rooms ai
her house, but naw'm—she don’t do as you
’low—tek boarders, prozactly.”
Now, will you- tell me WHY any one
would want to deny taking boarders or
be ashamed of doing it?
To my mind, keeping boarders is the
very hardest work that a woman can do.
She earns twice as much as the average
boarders pays—and she ought to be proud
of making a home for people who can't
afford a home; for giving them good food
and generally making them comfortable.
It's so much simpler to be honest witn
one’s self, and other people.
The only reason that a woman should*
be ashamed of taking boarders, or clerk
ing in a shoe store, or writing for a news
paper, or doing anything under the sun
to make an honest dollar, is when she
doesn’t give value received for what she
is given.
First Election of Its Kind in
United States Will Be
Held Today.
«
Meridian, Miss., January 14.—(Special.)—
Tomorrow the first primary election will
be held in this city to name a man for
Congressman Witherspeon to recommend
lor Wilson to appoint as postmaster at
this place. It will be the first election of
the kind to be held in the United States,
and considerable interest is being mani
fested. The election is not authorized by
law and is not safeguarded by legal re
strictions, and there is considerable op
position to this plan of selecting a post
master, many people holding that the
matter should have been left entirely to
Mr. Witherspoon, but some local poli
ticians decided that the primary was the
thing, and the result is that ten good men
are in the race.
The situation has been complicated by a
telegram from Mr. Witherspoon saying
that he thought white democratic patrons,
living outside of the corporation, should
be permitted to participate. The city ex
ecutive committee, which lias the election
in charge, has ignored this suggestion,
with the result that there is danger of
complications.
