The following were present, voting It , red-letter day: Mrs. C. E. Troutman. .Tr.s. Hnrvle Jordan, West End; Mrs. i'renary. Mrs. Rambeau and Mrs. Hor- .re Smith. First church; Dr. Elizabeth ■Broach. St. Johns, most of whom took irt in the debate—"Resolved. That It Right to Pay Tithes Now." Bible debate though It was, as arranged by Mrs. I.uke Johnson, many original and fnlrtli-provoklng points were Intro duced. The affirmative won. which linnnuncement was followed by a soul, Ctlrring talk by Mrs. Morris, of Mil, Eedgerllle. 1 one point of new and vital Interest advanced at the conference was that of h-needed and eventually coming olldntlon of departments 4n the ■mission work of the church, as pre- Isemcil by Dr. Elizabeth Broach In her ■talk. "Our young People," her Idea be- llng to turn young people’s mission so- (clctlcH. home and foreign, through the Epuorth League, as departments and mi-ting through women's mission so cieties. Last, but not least, two rare [features of Interest attaching to this oc casion were the welcome address by Mary E Bryan, and the able ad- s by Rev. Dr. Belk. of Atlanta, a ■lining tlose, n "Feast of Reason and a ■Flow of Soul." A DELEGATE WOMEN AS WORKERS. The greatest trouble about the num. tiers of w omen who have been forced nut Into the world to earn'their own living Is—that they consider the me- Idlutn through which they provide ■themselves with the necessities of life press It upon others that they nro much too goad-for the work they are compelled to do. Tltero couldn’t be a more snobbish way of looking nt life than this. No "caUlng" la high unleas Its Incumbent give* It dignify. No one has ever yet made a success of Ills work'who looked down upon It No one who undertakes to All any position, bo It that of boot black or the president of the United Statu, In a half-hearted, disloyal, I'm. too-good-for-lt fashion la going to make that position and himself any thing but a laughing stock among men. The girl who sella ribbons over a counter may be, and doubtless often Is, □ s good as tho girl who buys them, but It Is her flrst and whole business t<. sell those ribbons as cleverly as she can and not to Impress her social pres, tige upon their purchaser. No doubt the woman on the outelde of the coun ter la tiresome, and oftentimes thought less. And there Is the girl’s chance to show, not only that Bhe Is a sales “lady” but that she dignifies her post tion by knowing what she Is about. Sometimes she takes advantage of It and sends her customer away satisfied with her purchase and the shop. Oft entimes she brooks away reluctantly from conversation with one of her tom- punlons. manifests just as small show of Interest In the customer as she possibly can without being called account for It, and proves, by every word and act, that her position os shop girl Is one that Is too far above her powers and capabilities for her ever to fill It acceptably or successfully. To bo a good saleswoman requires genuine tulent. A girl must have by heart a Hat of the articles she has to sell, sho must know the best ways to sell these articles, and she must have some knowledge of human nature to know how to appeal to her customers It requires tact, diplomacy and skill, and yet the girl behind the counter la sometimes willing to show her Igno rance of alt these matters and her Ul- breeding as wall, by being directly rude to the person whose only fault Is that she wishes to buy what the girl has to sell. There Is no species of labor worthy of being called work that Isn't alao worthy of being well done. When the girl who must make her own living remembers this she will do her best In that position she Is trying tc, mi. It Is only the person who con siders herself too good for the work very far beneath them, and that I she undertakes who is a failure.—Cally I they never.lose an opportunity to Im-Ryland, In Dally States. if PERSONAL L MENTION Mr. and .Mrs. Clarence Hiram Man- |dlco are at home to their friends at 4? t t'nln street.
