This is a regular Sun day feature of THE NEWS and most of the ads will be changed weekly. These ads alone make mighty interesting reading, but to make it still more attractive THE NEWS will print each week a silhouette of one of the advertisers. Each advertiser is a well known business man or woman and you may be able to tell who it is at a glance, but to make it easier we print a write up of each advertiser. LAST SUNDAY’S PICTURE It was easy to identify C. R. Mayer in last Sunday's page— he is perhaps as well known as and druggist in the city—three gentlemen got an extra hustle on themselves Monday morning and called at his place of busi ness on Tryon street, informed him of the fact that they were there to claim the reward. Oth ers appeared while they waited but too late—the three “early birds" w'ere given the prizes just as you will be given if you are one of the first to recognise to day’s picture and tell the adver tiser at his place of business first on Monday morning. The name of the advertiser and those receiving the rewards will be published next Sunday. (Copyrighted 1911, I. C. Cham- berlyne.) The Man You’re Looking For While the man whose picture we publish today is not a clergy man, a justice or a matrimonial agent, he has helped many de serving young people to marry by suppl'ing them things as necessary to tlieir happy union, as a marriage license. It's a pretty good idea for any who contemplate uiatrimony to see him before taking the important step. lie has a pleasant way of doing business which makes it unne cessary to take your purse when you go to his store. It will be worth more than the reward we give for you to get acquainted with this man. The flist adult who cuts out the advertisement of the man whose picture appears here and presents it at his place of busi ness Monday morning will be given $1.00 In cash. The next two adults who bring the ad vertisement will receive 50 cents each. Employes of the man or concern are barred. W.H.

A novelty party given by a hostess noted for her clever schemes was what she was pleased to call her ‘ Frigid Zone" afternoon. All the porch ftirnitnre was covered with white towels and sheets, including the floor. A number of thermometers stofHl with the mercury at zero, and a white covered table held a ctit glass punch howl in which was a large cake of ice surrounded by the most de licious lemon frappe. This menti was served at six: Chilled white grapes. Iced clam bouillon, jellied breast of chicken, pear salad, ic^d tea, small (akes. white bonbons. The guests brought their work and invitations specified that they should be Christmas presents. Before the supi>er following “Chilly Tale" was handPd to each, tyi>ewritten on a white card: the blanks were supplied by the words in parenthesis. A prize was awarded to the two having the coldest stories. A CHILLY TALE. There is a certain country, situated In the (Frigid) zone, of such extreme (cold) that it has been aptly called (Iceland). In this land over which (.Tack Frost) is king, lived a manly >otith named Harold (Snow). He had fallen deeply in love with a maiden of the same land, but had found her as unapproachable as an (iceberg). Whenever he endeavored to gain her favor she would merely give him a (chilly) stare. At last he gained ah Introduction to her and lost no time in seeking her father's consent to woo her. But alas! in his young days Har old had once thrown a (snowball) at the worth}' man which had greatly dis turbed his dignity (and also his hat). The old gentleman had not forgotten the affront, and in consequence gave the youth the (cold shoulder). Un daunted Harold sought the maiden and urgently pressed his suit. Sad to relate, she repulsed him In (frosty) tones, and "turned him down (cold). In desi)air he sought the river, hut the temperature being below (zero) he found the stream one sheet of (ice). He was therefore forced to chop a hole before he could jump in. The .shock of the (icy) water caused him 'to regret his precipitation ai>d he hur- ^ricdly scrambled out and w'ith (icicles) ihanoiui, from his clothes hastened to his home. The next day found him no worse for his experience save that he had a (chill) and a bad (cold). The maiden, hearing of his despair and de- votio,n, was so touched and wept such tears of pity that her (frozen) heart began to thaw. To show her good will she sent him some pineapple (frappe) w'hich she had just taken from the (freezer). Harold quickly accepted her overtures and hastened to plead his cause anew. She accept ed him and has now changed her name to Mrs. (Snow). The wedding feast was an elaborate affair at which all kinds of (iced) viands and bever ages were served. The (ice cream) was molded in heart form. The happy couple intend to spend the (winter) months at the (north pole). A Japanese Tea. Affairs .Japanesque are always ef fective and pleasing to one’s guests. To make the rooms as really .lapanese as possible much of the furniture should be removed, partitioning off si>aces where necessary with Japan ese paper screens. ITse^ flavoring shrubs, almond blossoms (artificial), chysanthemums and butterflies sus pended by invisible black threads. The hostess must how very low three times saying “Konichlwa” when the guests arrive and “Sayonara” when they leave. Tea should he served with no cream; use cups without handles S[)onge cakes may be served if rice ones are not obtainable, also pre served ginger. If something cold is w'ished have cherry ice. Those who assist should wear kimonos. Have some young girls in .Tapanese costumes play “bag ball” (dama) Have a number of bright-colored bags filled with dried beans. Each girl tries to keep as many bags going as possi ble without droping them. Another amusing game is played by means of a long silk scarf, in the center of which is a loose knot or loop, held midway between the two players who hold the scarf and the floor. On one side pf the loop a player sits. On the other side is a small object, a flower, a bean bag, even a thimble. The player who sits by the loop tries to slip her hand through, grab the small article and take her hand back again before those holding the loop can draw it tight and make her hand pris oner.

Will you please publish in the Sun day paper a copy of the poem that ea^ verse ends with the refrain; “Take your place at the side of the road, and be a friend to man.” A READER. I am very sorry I cannot publish the poem. It is not familiar to me and 11 cannot get it. Perla,aps some of the department readers will forward Reply to Elizabeth L. By all means go w'ith other boys; a girl of seventeen is entirely too young to go w'ith one boy to the ex clusion of the others and she should never i)ermit the slightest familiarity; it is most undignified and the boys have no respect for a girl who allows them to caress her. It is proper to ask a boy to come to your house, but it would be better form if your mother asked him. If ii boy places his arm around the back of the seat just ask him to re move It. Such actions are very com mon and not done by refined lads. From a “Senior.” Would you i)lease give me a ff^w suggestions for some novel way to give a welcome party in a school of iibout two hundred? We want every one to get acquainted and enjoy the evening. Last year we had a “wa!k- aw'ay party.” What would be nice for a simple iunch? SENIOR. In the first i>lace I wish you w'ould tell me what a “walkaway party” is. I never heard of one and I am sure many of our readers would like to know about it. Let me tell you what one school did last .vear to make (he pupils and teachers acqtiainted. A reception was given in the evening and as the guests arrived they Avere met by the members of the new senior class and were given cards on which their names and home addresses w'ere written; these were pinned on so that, all could read. Then all were in troduced to the teachers, who stood in a receiving line until all had arrived. 'I’his luomoted conversation and no one felt embarrassed. For so many I would simply serve a sherbet and ismall cakes. rushed to death people who are thor oughly congenial enjoy talking. Dancing and costume jiarties are always successful, and it seems to me there are guessing contests for every occasion. A good dinner menu consists of a clear souj), preceded if you wish by a canape, meal, two vegeables, salad and dessert, followed by coffee and cordials. Entertaining For a Friend. I expect a friend to visit me, and before she goes home I should like very much to entertain for her, but I hate the thought of a party, as there is nothing by which to amuse our selves. Will you please suggest some thing and give me a menu for a din ner party? AN ADMIRING READER. There certainly must be something wrong with your internal apparatus when you say you “dread the thought of a party.” Why, it is one of the most glorious things in the world, given reasonable health and even a small bit of this world’s goods, to share our home and hospitality with otir friends. But, my dear, your heart must be in it; you must want your friends. A dinner party needs no set form of entertainment. An hour or more is consumed at the table, then there may be a round at cards if all like to play. The old lost art of conversation is be- Proper Style of Invitation. Kindly publish the proper form for an invitation to a church W(;dding, as we live in the country and are una ble to keep in touch with the current styles for such things. Also advise the w'ording to be engraved on the card for admittance to the reception at the house after the wedding. A HRIDE-'rO-BE.

W'hen one gets a wedding announce ment is it necessary to give the cou ple a present, and how soon after wards? They will not be back home imtil the first of November. Are you expected to call on them? When one receives an annomicenient of a baby’s birth must vou send'the baby a i)res- ent? KJNOKAMIJS. It is never “necessary” to give any- me a gift; do just as you wish about it. The gift may be sent after the couple return and you should call. A birth announcement does not necessi tate a gift, but it would be a pleasant couriesy if you sent the motlipr a note of congratulation, or some flow ers. “Bidden” Not Proper. Is the word “bidden" obsolete, only when used in forbidden? Is it cor rect to say I should have bidden in a card game? In a card game “bidden” is not used. “If I had bid,” or “you had bid," is correct, but you may be “bidden” to a feast. cii Questions on any subject pertaining to this department will be cheerfully answ'ered. A reply will be sent by mail if stamped and addressed envel ope is enclosed; otherwise answers ing revived, and in this day and gen-will appear in this column. Address, it to me: if so.

Thompson, dean of divinity >at Ma^gji dalen College. The bisiiop of Winchester has called the license to exercisc the cul of souls which hal iirevirnisly beei^^* granted to Mr. Thompson, “in viev/ certain teaching in a book recent^^ published.” The book in qupstioh is “Miracles the New 'I'estament,” which, as Mr, . ’I'hompson himself says in his preface, leads "to the hypothesis that the orig inal events underlying these traii- tions need not be regai'ded as miraci lous. .Mr, Thoinp.son’s hook strikes some of the leading doctrines of ortho dox Christianity. Of the Virgin birth, he says: “The positive evidence for that fact must be pronounced to be exceeding ly weak. Tlie negative evidence is very strong. Ills in(eri)reta(ion of the Resurrec tion as described in the New Testa ment is that it is not a physical fatrt at all, but a spiritual fact, clothed in that form of a story. Again he says, “'I'he notion that .Te- sus worked miriicles (we believe) Inconsisfenet with the doctrine of the Incarnation as the idea tliat His Body or His mind, or His normal nature, nature, were not really human, “The distinctly miraculous element in these stories (the (Jospels) is not essential, and could be removed with* out destroying the historical or psy- (rhological unity of the narrative. We may end Ijy thus formulating the hy- liothesis to w'hich we have been. "Though no miracles accompanied His entry into or jiresence In or de parture from th(! world, thon«h He did not think or speak or act other than as a man, lluMigh he yields nothing to historical analysis hut human ele ments, yet in Jesus Christ God is in carnate—discovered and worshipped as God alone can be, by the insight of faith.’* Mr. Thom|)Son is a man of great scholarship, and his pronouncements have aroused a fierce controversy not only in Oxford - -which, indeed, is com paratively quiet, because so many of the leading men have “gone down” for the vacation—but through the Church of England. ■V^llliam F.
