ORIGIN OF XMAS. Christmss gets its name from the maaa'tcelebrated in the early daya of the Christian church in honor of the birth of Christ. Ita Nrst solemnization having been ordered by Pope Telesphorus. This wai In or before the year 138, for in that year Tope Telesphorua died. At first Chrlstmaa waa known as a movable feast. Just aa Easter Is now, and owing to misunderstandings was celebrated as late as April or May. In the fourth' century an ecclesiastical Investigation was ordered and upon the authority of the tables of the censors In the Roman Archives, December twenty-fifth was agreed upon as the date of the Saviour's nativity. Tradition fixed the hour of birth at about midnight, and this led to the celebration of a midnight mass In all tbe churches, a second at dawn and a third later In the morning.

TO VISIT HERE. There will he a number of guests In town next week for the dances to be given by the Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity and the Pal Iota XI sorority.

TO SPEND HOLIDAYS HERE. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jameson, of Indianapolis, will come over soon to spend the holidays In this city the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Jameson, of South Thirteenth street. OF INTEREST HERE. The following dispatch from Washington as printed in the IndianapolisNews Is of Interest: Unusual interest attaches to the engagement which has just been announced by the German ambassador and Countess von Rernstorff, of their

daughter, the Countess Louise Alexan

dra von Bernstorff. to Count Ralmond

Pourtalea, attache of tbe embassy. The romance has been of comparatively short duration, for Count Pourtales was assigned to his present post only last spring. His attentions, however, to the daughter of the Von bernstorff's have been so marked that Washington society was looking for the announcement which waa made public at a luncheon a few days ago. The marriage Is to take place In the spring and In all probability the ceremony will be performed in Washington, but whether at the embassy or at the Lutheran church has not yet been decided. WEEK A LITTLE DULL. Things have ben very quiet the past week in social circles as no many people are buay shopping that they have not Lad time to think of social gaye-tl-s. However, next week and the latter part of this week will no doubt furnish a number of amusements in the

way of danceH for the young people. It Is hoped that the women will have completed their Christinas shopping by at least the middle of the week bo that the parties planned may be a success. A GUEST HERE. Mr. 8. W. GlllUati of Haltimore. formerly city editor of the Palladium was in the city the past week the guest of Mr. Demaa Coe. He was enroute to Angola.

D. A. R's MET. A pleasant meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution was beld on Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Grace Roble in North Thirteenth street. A business nesslon was held previous to the presentation

and over-shadows the efforts of all other performers. It has been said that a woman cannot attain the depth and breadth of some compositions which require the execution of a broad minded man; that the woman cannot overcome the delicacy peculiar to her sex. This is not true, for Maud Powell has the masculine grasp of the great compositions, polished to the highest degree by this said womanly delicacy, that Is the envy of many a male performer.

THE TRUE XMAS SPIRIT. The true Christmas spirit! How many have it? Can it be found In this modern world of bustle and bargain, of dissatisfaction and diipiay, of giving and getting? Have we not allowed Christmas to become a budbear instead of u joy? Does the mad complaining search for gifts to be given promiscuously which the average woman indulges in, show the slightettt tsfsn of it? Does the absurd lack of fitness evidenced

and instructive manner of the "Holi

days In the Philippines." The conversation "Ideal Christmas Celebrations" was led by Miss Edna Johnson.

MAUD POWELL. Monday night tiie people of Richmond will hear a recital such as has never before been rendered in this city. Music lovers have been looking toward this event with great interest and It Is certain that their anticipation will be fully satisfied. A great many people in the city have never had the opportunity to hear a real master of the bow. A person should not remain satisfied until he has heard an artist that Is recognized as one of the ."greatest

: the world ever produced." This state- ' ment is by no means as assumption or 1 a theory, but it is a recognized fact, '. critics who have heard violinists of

It Is! clothed in the garments of simplicity and good taste; it seeks the -byways and hedges, where lonely souls are sorrowing, rather than the crowded houses of the rich; It knocks gently at the door of old anc unremembered friends, bringing warmth and cheer , to desolate hearts; it carries joy. wherever It goes, leaving no sense of obligation, and seeking no return. It, makes our modern Christmas, with its ostentation and extravagance, seem a tawdry thing. The girl who wants to feel the presence of this sweet spirit will make ; up her mind to give from her heart,; and not merely from her purse. She will realize that a simple remembrance well chosen, sent to a friend who has already an abundance of this world's

gifts, will bo more acceptable than the elaborate present hastily bought and regretfully sent. She will know that a blossoming plant to the lonely soul whose hunger for ' flowers can only be satisfied by the fleeting beauty of the florists window, will be a joy; that an unexpected gift will delight the girl who treads the dull path of necessity; that a simple toy given to toyless children carries a pathetic value beyond its Just proportion. If she would truly know the real
