Before it disported 165 negroes, whose antics and musical efforts kept ; the President and everybody else almost convulsed with laughter. When President Wilson and his bride appeare! they found a crowd of merry celebrators, including many other hon- eymoon couples, standing, waiting for them to take reserved places.

She was not kept to her bed as were all the other feeble looking inmates of this ward. Youth and strength and purposefulness marked the outlines of her erect body and a mere than usually indépendent chin, more than ordinarily flashing eyes and—did I say—red hair distinguished her really pretty head. Ordinarily what fun it ‘euld have been just to dash out into the dancing flakes or to board a car jammed witb humanity on the common errand of gift giving, or to mingle with the gay throng in the wonder stores downtown. But seven weeks ago today, all in an instant, just the ordinary indulgence of an ordi- nary girl ——— had been torn ruthlessly and forever out of reach of thie girl.

It was, however, @ most human atti- tude of unutterable dejection that I surprised her in. Somehow it all seemed harder than if she had been a saint.

That Girl Who Lost — -to Her Fate er ree ei Ry aa or Rate Mm " ture Singer Christmas gifts helpeg to ¢istract | one’s attention from the calamity. | The homelies, handmade little gifts from mere strangers were rather dangerous ground for discussion, but gay bouquets of flowers, a frivolous boudoir cap and a ise valliere, which beautiful enough apparently to make any girl forget her troubles, were diverting just when we needed diver- sion. A. woman who seemed to be in suthority came in and with an ef- fort to appear casual, so as not to excite overwrought nerves, announced that, after all, Marie would not be able to attend her benefit matinee | at the New Grand Central Theater. The woman who had promised to take her in her limousine had de- cided the streets were too skiddy for high-powered machines. What a treat such an outing would have been to a little factory girl sev- en weeks ago. And Marie had just been telling me that picture shows were her highest conception of real enjoyment and movie magazines her favorite form of reading. She looked out of the window a second or two, then turned to us and said, with first &@ pout then a smile, “Oh, well. Next time I won't make any plans.” A tray of luncheon had been brought in and was getting cold near an open window. The rest of the invalids noisily engaged at theirs. Waited for Food W: doesn’t somebody come and were help you? Mayn’t I— er feed you?” I asked. She looked the least bit scornful and resentful again. “Margaret will come when she has finished eating. I am not hungry, anyway.” Finally Miss Meyer, from another department, chanced by and said, “As I have noth- ing in particular to do, Marie, I will feed you.” A tooth brush and other toilet ar- ticles were searohed for and Marie followed Miss Meyer to a lavatory and returned with her hair smooth and face still ruddier after its scrub- A bowl of hot soup was brought te replace the cold one. When it had been half consumed Miss Meyer tnu- quired: “Ig it too hot?’ “Yes,”’ replied Marie, laughing. “It is too hot,”’ and held her mouth stoically for the next spoonful. “What are you going to do to sup- port yourself when you are entirely well?” I asked of her. A moist haze just could not be kept from appearing before her eyes. The nurse relieved the situation. “I think & 4 might learn to sing,” said Miss Meyer. “I have noticed when we've all been singing that Marie has a very pretty voice.” “Yes, | might sing in a side show,” observed Marie with derision that was meant to offset her blushes at the compliment. “How are you going to use the money that has been collected for yout” was my next untactful remark, for Marie replied with a hint of ex- asperation in her veice: “Oh, I don’t Know. I told you I am mot going to make any more plans.” “Kidding” One Another HE entrance of a young chap, a re- porter, who appeared to be a fa- miliar friend, broke the tension this time. Evidently she welcomed some- body who could think about something other than lost arms and apparently DIVORCED WIFE WEDS A TEACHER Former Husband Was Banker’s Son, From Whom She Won $36,000 Alimony in Gross. a Mrs. Celeste Clark Thompson, divorced wife of Samuel A. Thompson, was mar- ried at 11 o'clock today at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus 5. 63 McPherson boulevard, to Clarence Stratton of 4166 McPherson ave- nue, teacher of English at the Ceatra! High School, The Rev. Harris I. Gregg, pastor of the Compton Avenue Preaby- terlan Church, performed the ceremony. The marriage license was obtained late yesterday afternoon after the of- fice had closed. The marriage to Thompson was April i, 1899. Thompson is a son of the late William H. Thompson, who was ~;esi- dent of the National Bank of Commerce and treasurer of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. They separated Dec. 14, 1908. Mrs. Thompson obtained a di- vorce June 2, 1910, and $300 a month alimony was allowed. Thompson 4id not pey it and when $4000 was due an at- tempt was made to force a settlement. Thompson took advantage of the bank- ruptcy aot, setting up that his share of his father’s $4,000,000 estate was not available and he had anticipated the in- come. The court awarded $386,000 all- mony in gross to Mrs. Thompson and the trustees of the Thompson estate were ordered to pay to her the income from that amount until the judgment is satiefied. Thompson was married again March 4, 111, to Mra. Helen O. Bonner, at Richmond, Va. He and his second wife have been living at the Planters Hotel. Recently he was under treatment at o sanitarium, following a nervous break- down, but recovered sufficiently to leave the Institution. Stratton has been in society consider- ably and is regarded as a gracefui dancer. $96,710 REALIZED BY THE GERMAN WAR RELIEF BAZAR A detafied report issued by Frederick Wildmann, president of the St. Louis War Relief Bazar Association, states that $96,710.63 was the net sum realized from the German bazar’ held at the Coliseum the last week in October.

Days Late: Mrs. Lila Moore, widéw'of Dr. Isaac Moore. of Alton, loses-her «hare in her husband's estate, under a decision hand- ed down yesterday by Probate Judge Streuber -at Edwardsville, becausé the clerk of the Bdwardsville Circuit Court delayed for 13 days entering in his rec- ord the decree of divorce from a former wife, granted to Modre. Moore obdtained a divorce from Mrs. Elizabeth Moore: Dec. 2, 1911, and the granting of the decree was entered in the judge's docket on that date. It was not, hoWever, until Dec. 15 that the clerk entered it in hit reéodrd: The Ili- noise law prohibits remarriage within a year after a divorce. Moore remar- ried Dec. 9, 1912, in the belief that a year had elapsed. Moore died intestate Nov. 19, 1914. His widow took possession of his estate, consisting of real estate at Upper. Alton valued at from $10,000 to $12,000. The question of her right to it was raised, on the ground that Moore married her within a year. Judge Streuber, in deciding against the widow, was guided by rulings of the Tilinois courts that a iecree is not refarded as having been made until it has been entered or filed for record. Mrs. Moore its ordered to make an acounting of the _ estate within 10 days. The estate will go to Mrs. W. M. Shook of Alton, a daughter of Moore by hig first wife. Mrs. Lila Moore was his third wife. NOSE, RIB, COLLARBONE BROKEN WHEN MANIS HIT BY AUTO Contusions on Head and Hands Found When John Norby Is Taken to Hospital. The automobile of James O’Brien of 200 North Jefferson avenue knocked down John Norby, & years old, a ped- adler, of 218 South Fourth street, yester- day afternoon as he started to cross the street at High and Linden. He was taken to the City Hospital, where his injuries were found to be a broken nose, one broken rib, fractured collar- bone and contusions on face, head and hands. The automobile was driven by Joseph Goessling, who was arrested but later released. Moving Picture of Disease Cure. A moving picture film, showing the eure of rheumatism, gout, high blood pressure and blood disorders, and the prevention of Bright's disease and dia- betes in certain stages by the use of hot and cold spring waters, is being made at Hot Springs, Ark. The plan is being worked out by Francis Hol! -y, founder and director of the Washing- ton (D. C.) B of Commercial Eco- nomics; the mad County Medical Society and the Business Men’s League. The scenario is the work of a group of local specialists who are among the foremost in the United States. A con- tributory picture is that of the hot water as it comes up through the rocks at a temperature sufficient to poach an eee. ada, and will send it to several foreign countries. It is hoped to make this a part of the Government's plan to ac- quaint the puBlic with the benefits of these naturally heated waters. Montague Fiags,.

It was particularly dramatic when Os- borne introduced in evidence two eén- dearing notes written. by Swift to the Princess in which he referred to Mrs. Hathaway as a dangerous woman and expressed the hope that the Prince ‘would choke.” Swift was forced to admit the authorship of the notes. When the cross-examination of the Prince was resumed, the witness de clarel he would answer such questions as he chose and refuse to answer the rest, but under direction of the Justice he reconsidered.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Submarines and International Law. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your editorial of the 20th inst., you charac- terize as “presumtuous” the Austrian reply to our mote in the Ancona case. You evidently are under the impression, as Mr. Wilson himself seems to be, Judging by the tone of his note, that he is the sole and final arbiter on the subject of sub- merine warfare, and that it is indeed a great plete of presumption on the part of another na- tién-to intimate that it, too, is somewhat inter- ested in the matter, and is not without views that it would. chumbly) be permitted to express—a na- tion that has already sacrificed millions of men in‘ the’ struggle out of which this unhappy incident has’ In support of your contention you quote as au- thoritative and conclusive the language employed by tte President in his first note to Germany in the Laisitania case, in which, after arguing that the submarine, from the nature of its structure; could not provide properly for the safety of pas- of belligerent merchant ships, he all but that it should therefore not be used in warfare against them, which he modified in his third note by permitting them to operate as cruisers. Now, not alone is his dicta in that matter of no legal force against any other nation, it has not even become the established policy of this coun- try, except that during his administration as com- mander in chief of the navy he could issue orders - ig the rules of the sea may be proper and neces- , erder to meet the new conditions.

Up to this writing, the response in contribu- tions to the fund is about $300 ahead of the same time last year, and the indications are that the people, out of their abundance, will fill this particular “empty stocking,” as they did last year’s, when prosperity was still on its way to us. Investigation has shown that the need, this year, is great despite better times. Several features of this year’s festival have made for efficiency and perfection in the realiza- tion of the intended hospitality. A new system of attention to the lists sent out was inaugurat- The splendid display of dressed dolls, the first of its kind, showed that the women of St. Louls are in this festival heart and soul. In/. former years, owing to the distribution of dolls and toys being at the end of the Coliseym enter- tainment, some little folks were unavoidably crowded out of their share. This year, all dolls, toys, candies, etc., were given to the girls and boys as they entered, in plenty of time before the entertainment began, and they were able to enjoy them at their leisure. Another novel feature is the circus, by the 400 children of the Public Playgrounds organization, giving a youth- ful zest to the entertainment and adding to its jollity. The need in the homes has been met by an ample distribution of baskets. And, for the first time, all homeless men who came to the free dinner were admitted, without tickets. The only requirement was that a man was truly in need of this hospitality. There is just about as much genuine Santa Claus in this year’s festival as is possible to inject into a big, free feast and entertainment of this kind. Red tape has been reduced to the minimum. Everyone who has contributed to the fund or worked for the cause, and every recipient of the public’s hospitality, may feel that here, for once in the year, St. Louis people come to- gether, rich and poor, for a Happy Christmas, in the spirit of “Peace on Earth to Men of. Good will.” = = TRULY LOYAL CANADIANS. In Canada recruiting is conducted in the name of “his majesty, the King, God bless him.” But in England itself recruiting for a long time was carried on in the name of Gen. Kitchener and the organizations to which the recruits were attached were called Kitchener’s army. Canadians seem to be more “truly loyal” than Englishmen themselves. We know that there are German-Americans in this country more loyal to the Kaiser than even the An esteemed contemporary had it that our grove of municipal Christmas trees on Twelfth street was composed of spruce: It turns out that every one of the trees, incliiding the 60- foot bearer of innumerable colored lights, is a Missouri cedar, or as the botanists call it, Juniper Virginiana, the fragrant wood of which is used for “cedar” pencils and cigar boxes. This is as it should be. The spruce, though better adapted for small Christmas trees which are to hold candles and light gifts for the babies, is not a native of Missouri. The Juniper is every bit as interesting, and is characteristic of our State, in a great part of which it is the only native evergreen. The Junipers are a good sized family. From the berries of one species the peculiar flavoring for gin is made. But the tree has better uses, especially in medicine. It grows in Lapland, where the natives use the bark to make ropes. And one species is so aromatic that it supplies incense. | It is a mistake that-this tree has not been made familiar to city folks by having its place in the parks. St. Louisans with suburban places are using it to help beautify their grounds, hav- ing the trees brought in from the country dis- tricta. and for which, in any event, the State Depart- ment is not responsible. Another is “phases of party politics have been involved in the treat- of the Mexican question.” Still another worst of all,” is the “diplomacy that re- ‘The Messiah” at the Odeon next Tuesday even- ing not only will provide an agreeable feature for holiday week, but furnish a record of musical progress in St. Louis. With the Pageant Choral Society in the vocal composition ought to be given with unustal beau- ty and ‘impressiveness. The Choral Society was formed originally of the. amateur vocalists who assisted in. the St. Louis Pageant and Masque of 1914. Its rate of improvement has surpassed all expectation. Conductor Frederick Fischer has made a trnly wonderful showing in bringing out the possibilities of such an organization. It now is appraised by many as our most ambitious and promising body of nonprofessional singers. In all communities public familiarity with com- positions of the oratoric class must depend large ly on the work of such choruses as that of the Pageant Society. An exceptional opportunity for judging how much of an asset this comparatively hew organization is to St. Louis, and the place it is destined to occupy in the musical life of the city, will be afforded by the merit of the “Mes- siah” performance. (= * i Since St. Louis audiences always mistake “Co- lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean” for “The Star- Spangled Banner,” why should not our orchestras stop playing the former air? It is not an Amer- ican song, but only a public school parody of “Brittania, the Queen of the Ocean.” It is also an absurdity to refer to a continental nation, 3000 miles wide, as the “gem” of any body of water. of legal age, is withheld from him by her father may compel the.father by a writ of habeas corpus to restore her to “such liberty as will permit her to exercise her own free will in affairs of con- cérn to her.” The startling ‘force of this decision lies in its fundamental soundness—it is good law if the status of sui juris, or right to freedom at majority, means anything. The freedom to promise in- volves corresponding legal responsibility to the young man at least to the extent that a girl may be haled into court to declare of her own free will whether she will marry him. : Fortunately her right to change her mind and decline of her own free will at any time is left unimpaired. No law can ever alter the eternal feminine or construe a woman’s yes to mean any more or go any further than she wants it to. The only person who is irrevocably bound by a prom- ise to marry is a man—and still women complain that the law gives them the worst of it! = = * - -. = THE SIGN OF THE HORSE. New York has decided to eat horse. The Health Commissioner declares his opinion that horse meat will soon be popular in that city, and we believe likewise. Hundreds of thousands of.New York's population. originally inhabited horse-eating and dog-eating countries. We have no. quarrel with their taste, but we have the thought of the possibility of old Dob- bin, unbeknownst, on our own table. Horse meat will ' inevitably be palmed off on innocent con- summers elsewhere whenever horses are slaughtered in quantity for the New York market. Have we an ordinance against horse meat in St. Louis? Or an ordinance requiring horse butchers and ven- dors to put the horse head sign over their portals? Uniess we protect ourselves somehow we may be sure that the Beef Trust will have a horse on us. __—=-_ = ates dntnes thennih iat. tiln Geabiiinin 2 - . we 8 a » DES STRAY te Se ae er es my ae NSE cet bye a Ce : ie Ah AF wt AE os ete BO ted Coe Pik LLL LER A I GER ea mer ss its et eae | “ys ba 4 a 47) hee ae FULL. ce a eee JUST A MINUTE — og maed aoe CHRISTMAS: DAY. \s i A a lg ——_ HE Winter crowns the ‘wind-mowed, naked trees With diadems that scintillate and throw A splendor round their quaint grotesqueries Of lacquéred branches, draoped with ice and snow, Across the fields swift winds exultant race, Bearing a wreath of snow unto the hill, Or through the night with fairy fingers trace A frigid mantle o’er the winding rill.

Alma Woodward. As a Holiday Spirit. MID the jingle of Kriss Kringle’s A sleighbells and the gay laughter of joyous children, we have with us every year, at holiday time, the @heer-Queerer. There is no leaven in his bread, His vision is intercepted by a screen of bilious green. The pall he throws is labeled “Commap Sense.”’ But who wants common sense at Christmas time? Nobody! First—During the week preceding Christmas, when you walk upon the street. with your wife, and she, in enthu- sinstic glee, tries to drag you toward the »«s y shor windows, tell her that you have never included window gazing ir vour list of outdoor sports. Second—IiIn gcing over the list of peo- io whom your family has to give, aution your wife that it is the spirit rather than the value that counts. Em- phasize the fact that Christmas giving has a tendency to become a tit-for-tat proceeding. That it is customary for one to reason this way: “Well, she usually gives mo something that costs abour $4.76.. Now what can 1. get her that doesn’t cost more than $4.827"" Third—When you are approached on street corners, office buildings, etc., with appeals for small change, in the name of ‘holiday charity, trot out your little copyrighted -lying speech:. “I'd like to know how much of this goes to charity. Give me one-tenth of the graft collected in this way at holiday time and I’) re- tire for life. Anyhow, charity begins at home.” ‘ Fourth—When your children bubble over and jabber constantly at table about Santy and what he’s going to bring; when their eyes fairly crackle with wonderful anticipation, bid them think of the poor little unfortunates who won't get any toys—won’t even have ériough to eat--whose fathers and moth- ers are either dead or in hospitals and—— Just about this much will suc- ceed in quenching the delirious spark in their hearts. When they afe cowed and silent suggest that, instead of toys, they ask Santy for nice warm merino shirts Children Cry for Fletcher's _ made his Allow no | and cashmere stockings and other want- on luxuries. Fifth—Finally, come down to breakfast on Christmas morning tn a reminiscent mood. When the tittle tots jump into your arms and squeal deiightedly about their wonderful gifts, resurrec relations who haven't been on earth for 15 years or more—in this wise: “Christmas! How old Grandma H. used to love Christmas. Yes, the last one she spent on earth, the dear old lady was paralyzed, almost blind and totally deaf, but she was just as merry as could be. And pudgy old Uncle Charlie! siemember him, mother” How he whispered on his deathbed, ‘Hang up a stocking fcr me next Christ mas.’ Ah, yes Christmas is indeed merry, merry time!” Excused. RE you aware,” asked the landlady. ‘that your room rent is three weeks overdue?” “I’m awfully sorry,” said the man whw occupied the third floor hail room, “but the gaslight In my room is so dim tha I haven't been able to read those littie reminders you've been slipping «ander my door.”’ — oe oo Seren wre. : OE EEE Re OE TURRET mE Orr a Oe we ~ ED A: BY Re OTH fe >~ ad 4 .
