What was, per haps, one of the most brilliant social events ever held In North Carolina was the reception given here last even ing by Mrs. I I Jenkins of Asheville In celebration of the fiftieth birthday anniversary of her husband, I L. Jen kins, president of the American Ka tlonal bank of Asheville and one of the most prominent business men of the state. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins were formerly of Gastonia and the recep tion last night was held in their hand some home here, which they still maintain. Preparations for this affair had been .under way for weeks, and ap proximately 2000 Invitations, were sent to friends in this end other states. Hundreds of people responded to these Invitations in person last evening, while those who found it impossible to come sent their regrets, along with congratulatory messages to Mr. Jen kins upon his arrival at life's fiftieth milestone. The guests present repre sented the state's most prominent peo ple, both In social and business circles, while there was a large number pres ent from outside the borders of North Carolina. Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins came down from Ashe ville to enjoy their hospitality. The Jenkins home was beautifully lighted and artistically decorated for the occasion, E. B. Brown, a florist of Asheville, having come down several days ago to personally superintend the work of decorating. Hundreds of rare American Beauty roses from Indiana, aB well as other beautiful and expend sive flowers, were used in the decora tions, and the effect was magnificent. Five courses of delicious refresh ments were served the guest company during the evening by 20 caterers from Washington. ' Tables were arranged in two ' of the large reception rooms, which had been fittingly decorated for the occasion, and the result of the work of several days by the imported caterers was all that could have been desired. The birthday cake was a creation out of the ordinary. It was construct ed with 60 miniature electric light bulbs. It was placed Just inside the entrance and was extravagantly ad mired by the hundreds of guests pres ent Continuous music was furnished the assembled company by two stringed orchestras, one from Asheville and the other from Gastonia. Beautiful selec tions were rendered throughout the evening, from 8 to 11 'o'clock ,and added much to the gaiety of the occa sion. Those present might well have Imagined themselves in Fairyland, the combination of soft music, the delicate perfume of the roses, myriads of softly shaded lights and the beautifully gowned women making a scene long to be remembered. Mrs. Jenkins stood at the head of the receiving line, and was assisted by a number of relatives and friends in welcoming the guests as they entered MM Red Cross Christmas Plans. The Red Cross Christmas seals com mittee, Mrs. Alfred S. Barnard, chair man, will hold the second official meeting of the year next week for the purpose of completing Christmas ar rangements. Mrs. Allan McDonald will be assisted In her work as head of the street committee by a bevy of young girls. Miss Rachel Howland. publicity chairman, will shortly have in hand some interesting Red Cross literature to be sent for use In Ashe ville by Dr. L. B. McBrayer. The fol lowing in reference to the Red Cross seal from The Mother's Magazine will be of Interest: "There were approximately forty million Red Cross Christmas seals sold In the United States during the holiday season of 1913. which means that about $400,000 were spent by the peo ple of our country in order that the light against the great white plague might go on successfully. "The cheery message of these Christmas seals has gone out on holi day letters and packages for six years and each penny spent added to the greatest crusade of modern times. "And every year since 1908 the na tional work has gone happily on. In round numbers the gross receipts that have been gained through the idea that Miss Blssell gave to the Red Crow society have been for the years 1908 to 1913, Inclusive, nearly two millions of dollars. "The society estimates that the average person In the first stages of the dread tuberculosis can be sent to a better climate, properly nourished and made well again for the average nm of $600. "ge Five hundred dollars to make a well man and the Idea that the little Arthur M.Field Co. ; Jeweler?.

THE 1TI.L STOCK IS NOW IX AND ON DISPLAY, mother of the Red Cross stamDS orir Inated has brought in almost two mil lions of dollars, enough to make 4000 people whole again, to enable them to take their places in the world, happy and healthy. The Red Cross society has many resources other than the sale of the Christmas seals, but think" what a help the stamps have been. When you do your Christmas shopping this year look at the seal and think what It stand for. Jolry old Saint Nicholas will be smiling at you from the 1914 stamp, but perhaps some day we will . see Miss Emily P. Bissell's face smiling at us for surely it be longs there. "If ever a woman has been a true mother to the world, Miss Bissell haa Mother-like, she prefers to sit back and let all of the glory go to the thing that she has given birth to willing to take no reward for what she, has done, anxious to conceal herself from the eyes of the public, satisfied and happy in the fact that she has been a help to humanity." Christmas Plans. At the last meeting of the Woman's guild of Trinity church held with Mrs. A. B. Sites, at her home In Ar lington place, a delightful Christmas entertainment was decided upon. At this meeting for the first time the recently elected president, , Mrs. John A; Perry, presided, and under, her direction it was decided that at her residence, 62 Cumberland Circle, on Wednesday of next week, a Christmas tea will be given by the guild. Vari ous committees were appointed to see to the arrangements, for this ap proaching occasion. The hours of the tea will be from 3 to 7 o'clock. Fol lowing these plans, many interesting matters of business were discussed, chief among these being a report made by Mrs. Frank Hewitt, to the effect that she had recently paid in $200 on the fund undertaken by the guild for the chancel of Trinity church. This was received with great enthusiasm and it was noted that of the $5,000 indebtedness undertaken by the guild, $3,300 has been paid off.. Officers of the Edward Buncombe chapter, D. A. R., have reported the following interesting extract from a letter from Prof. William Cain of the University of North Carolina concern ing their recently acquired History of Western North Carolina by Arthur: "It is worthy of the theme and of great value to the state and especially inspiring to our men and women of North Carolina." Prof. Cain says the work far exceeds his expectations and thinks the author and the Edward Buncombe chapter are to be congratulated on the out come. Prof. Cain is the grandson of Judge John L. Bailey, who was a resi dent of this city and the legal precep tor of many of the most eminent law yers in this country. !

The local team will leave here early tomorrow morning and meet the Huntersville team In David son tomorrow afternoon. Hunters- vllle, which is a suburb of Charlotte, will make the run to Davidson during the morning and both teams plan to be able to get some practice before the contest In the afternoon. This game will decide who will rep resent the western section of the state in the championship game to be play ed at Chapel Hill ; on December 12, between teams from the eastern and western sections of the state. The Asheville High school team took an important step towards the champion ship game when, on last Saturday, they defeated the Shelby High school team at Oates park in a one-sided contest, in which the visitors had little show to win. Although the Huntersville team Is considered one of the strongest High school teams In the state, the local boys feel that they will return home victors, as they have been getting an unusual amount of practice lately and are in good condition for a gruelling contest. According to the dope that has been handed out by the sport writers In Raleigh, the team from the Raleigh High school will represent the eastern section of the state at the champion ship game at Chapel Hill on Saturday of, next week. . The game tomorrow will be played rain or shine,. It is announced, as no other time can be allowed for the game, and as the . locals won from Shelby in a field of mud it is thought that the boys will be ab'.e to do as much with the Huntersville team to morrow, as it goes without saying that the field will be a sea of mud. Accompanying the team tomorrow will be the coaches and several loyal supporters from the High school, to help the boys return with the scalp of Huntersville swinging from their belts.
