THE MISSE8 8HONT8.
Very late London advices state that
a good many parties era being given
for Mis* Marguerite and Mias Theodora
Bhonts, the daughters of Theodore Per
ry Shonta, of Panama canal fame. Un
less there Is something out of the com
mon about debutantes, they get no at
tention whatever. These two girls are
rather unique In their way, so they si
ready command notice. They have a
certain simplicity and frankness, which
of late has not characterised the
American debutante, who Is too much
given to assuming ths “veal, vtdl, vlel”
air. Perhaps It Is because the Mlssee
Bhonts have passed the greeter part of
their lives In their parents' plantation
home, Daphne, Ala., that they are so
characteristically unaffected. They
sing caen songs which have never be
fore boen heard In England, and accom
pany them with the banjo. The king
recently heard them sing at Consuelo,
duchess of Manchester's, nnd requested
their mother to come with them to tea
at Buckingham palace that the queen
might hear them sing. Next day the
king sent one of the royal motors for
.the girls and their mother, and Queen
Alexandra was regaled all the after
noon with plantation tongs, accompa
nied by the banjo. The Mlssee Bhonts
have been studying In Paris for the
last two years, and have devoted much
of their time to music. Their mother
has boen made most Indignant by of
fers of colossal sums which have been
made to these clever amateurs by a
music hall manager. The girls them-
who are full of fun, have beet
;een on accepting an "engage
ment” and told her majesty sl
The queen remarked Immediately that
"even for fun,'* young girls who had
homes of their own ana rich parents
should not go on the stage, as In so
doing, they might be taking employ
ment from others.
This visit of Mrs. Bhonts and her
daughters to Buckingham palace hoe
■ - —amount of Jealousy, as
the queen having received
almost complete strangers In this In
formal way Is a unique compliment—
which Is not accorded by h«t once
In yfars.

Is safe to say that many of tho most
enthusiastic can not read a not* of
music. They know that the work of
a master Is to be performed, and It
Is but natural for svery mind to seek
the best that Is offered for Its own de
velopment, There Is no difference In
this respect between good music and
good books.
“So, when we oonslder this desire
on tho part of tho public for the high
est music, their eagemeas to grasp tho
opportunity afforded for hearing It,
compared to the persuasion that was
required to Induce the general public
to attend a concert a comparatively
few years ego, we are bound to con
cede that classic music Is popular.
"Light opera and characteristic
pieces are usually mere musical orna
ments of the hour, but with the right
Jingle have a large following. T«i*y
are a part of a musical education from
a concert-goer’s standpoint, and should
be encouraged by program builders.
It Is necessary to Introduce the mosses
to tho heavier compositions by degrees.
The relaxation white enjoying a fa-
——u* number arouse* two-fold
Interest In that which la to folla-r. ' rh *
tendency toward the higher In music
on the part of the public Is exceed
laxly gratifying. So far as my own
alms are concerned, I Intend that my
band shall play selections of all degrees
and character, so that each listener
may have the Individual taste grati-
"in a renrd, I maintain that a ‘pop
ular program’ has come to mean both
frivolous and serious selections, with
the good, solid material predominating.
Thus you first arouse and amuse your
hearers and then tempt them Into fol
lowing you Into tho domain of tho clas

THE POPE’8 VIEWS OF WOMAN
The pope's views on the destiny of
woman are published In the form of an
Interview with the pontiff granted to
Madame Camille Thelmer, the well
known Viennese novelist, who le active
In the cause of feminism.
Contrary to the opinion generally
held, the pope did not declare against
the emancipation of woman, "which,
he said, "can only ennoble her eoul by
developing In her the desire for study
and work. The church approves the
woman who by her labor does her ut
most to become the true associate of
man, to contribute to the well being of
the home, while remaining her hus
band's helpmeet, a vigilant and tender
mother and an Indulgent consoler."
"Doc* your holiness approve," asked
Mme. Thelmer, "the admission of wom
en to the liberal professions?”
"All that tends to raise the moral and
Intellectual level of humanity," replied
the pope, “Is worthy ot our encourage
ment, always provided that It does not
violate Christian law's. It Is well that
women are freeing themselves from ths
heavy yoke that society has Imposed on
them for centuries. It Is well that they
are able to master their own means of
existence.
"For my part, I see nothing to pre
vent them from being lawyers or doc
tors; doctors especially, so that they
can give proper care to their children,
which In ull times has been their natu
ral avocation. Education le also ons ot
the professions which suit them best.
Are they not the first teachers of their
children, and thus of all humanity?"
"Does the church authorise us to en-
re In politico?"
Vlth an espresalve gesture ot his
hand the pope exclaimed: "Never
that!"
Women," he continued with a quiet
smile of Irony, "ought not In any can
to mix themselves In public affaire.
They will be neither elector* nor elect
ed. Indeed, men have enough trouble
already In agreeing among themselves;
they do enough to bring disorder Into
parliaments.” • ,
WHAT IS A POPULAR CONCERT?
In w riting of popular concerts, Wil
liam Well, the great bandmaster, says:
It I* difficult to define a 'popular
concert program.' Whelm., m program
Is popular or not depends entirely upon
the Individual listener. It has been
said that selections of a classical na
ture are not popular. This may have
been true, but It Is not so today. It Is
noticeable that the largest audiences
attend concerts that are called classi
cal. especially Wagner concerts, and
those who attend are not all musi
cians and do not follow the score as
Miss Bessie U Porter and Mlse Ms-1 the performance progresses. Indeed. It

FOURTH OF JULY WILL BE
BUSIEST IN MANY YEARS
Sporting Events, Political Conventions and
Social Gatherings Make Up
the Holiday.
With the popping ot firecrackers
and the tooting of horns the ever-glo-
rious Fourth ot July will be ushered
In by Young Amerieu on Wednesday
morning.
Forecaster Marbury of the weather
bureau predicts occasional showers for
Atlanta throughout ths holiday, but
that Is not worrying the pleasure-
seekers, for It frequently happens that
even the weather man Is mistaken In
his forecasting. So plans have been
going merrily on for the sporU snd
outings of the day, and unless a verit
able downpour of 'rain shall come
nothing should happened to mar the
enjoyment of the day.
No matter what a person’s disposi
tion may be, he Is sure to find some
thing on the day's program to smuts
him. There will be picnics galore,
both private and public, and many will
spend the day quietly In this way.
Then the baseball fans will have an
opportunity of having their taste for
a good exhlblton ot the national game
satisfied, for there will be a game In
the morning at 10 o’clock and another
In the afternoon'at 1:10 o'clock .
Hughes will probably be the slab
artist against Nashville for Atlanta In
the morning contest, and “Doc" Childs
will sustain the honor of the team In
the afternoon. Hundreds of excur
sionists are coming to Atlanta Just to
seo the great and only Atlanta ball
team play and especially to see.Childs
In the box, for he Is a Georgia boy
with hosts of friends.
Ttnnis and Shooting.
For those who prefer the-less stren
uous games, golf, tennis and gun
shoots tiave been arranged. There
III be no formal contests In golf, but
the visitors and cltlsena of Atlanta
will be given their first opportunity of
seeing s lawn tennis tournament. This
tournament started on tho East Lake
grounds Tuesday afternoon and will
reach Its height on Wednesday. Sev
eral qf the most famous players In tne
South are In the city to either play or
witness the sport, and there Is much
Interest In the outcome. The contests
of the morning will begin at 10 o'clock
and In the afternoon at 1 o’clock. Vis
itor* should take the South Decatur
cam to East Lake.
Both tho Atlanta Gun Club and tho
Atlanta Athletic Club ranges will be
In full commission throughout the day,
but no formal program has been an
nounced by either club. Interesting
contests will be arranged, however,
any lovers of that sport will see some
rare shooting. '
In these strenuous days of red hot
politics It would not do for a holiday
to pass unobserved by those who era
endeavoring to have a say as to how
the government shall be managed, and
for that reason two stats conventions
will be held In Atlanta st the same
hour—10 o'clock In the morning—snd
st the same place, the state capitol.
The Populists will meet In the senate
chamber and the Socialists In ths
house.
Populist Convention*
Th# Populist convention promises to
be warm enough for even th* Fourth
of July, for there Is a wide difference
of opinion as to whether or not a tick
et should be put In the field for the fall
elections. At th* last meeting of the
state body It wss voted to put a-ticket
In the field, but the opposition was so
strenuous that many believe that an
other vote will result differently. Del
egates from Fulton county to ths stats
meeting at 10 o'clock will be chosen at
a session to be held st the same place
at 8 o'clock. The Socialist convenlton
promises to bo oulet snd the prospects
are for a small attendance, although a
full stater ticket will be nominated.
Rural Carriers MesL
The Fourth 'will be a glorious day
for the rural mail carriers of the state,
for they will hold their annual conven
tion In Atlanta at 5 o'clock. In th*
morning. The Federation of Trades
hall, on Forsyth street, has been se
cured for the gathering, snd with th*
excellent speakers that have been se
cured for the program a most enjoya
ble day Is promised. Mayor Woodward
has agreed to deliver the address of
welcome, and It Is possible that Sena
tor A. 8. Clay will deliver a short ad
dress. In addition to considerable Im
portant business to be transacted th*
annual election of officers will be held,
followed by the adjournment to Pied
mont park, where a barbecue will b*
held. Several Invited guests will bs
present st this feature of th* program,
and a fine time Is promised all dele
gates who Attend. '
Sham Battl*.
At 5:30 o'clock at Piedmont park,
tmemdlately following th* baseball
game, there wll be a sham battle be
tween the Atlanta companies of the
Fifth regiment, Georgia state troops,
companies from Cedartown snd Mari
etta, the Governor’s Horse Guard and
the Governor’s Light Artillery. With
these troops ot artillery, cavalry snd
Infantry, and with a (tattling gun to
assist In the noisy celebration, the
lover* of smoke and powder will be
amply repaid If they visit the grounds.
Special electric cars will be at the gates
to handle the crowd on their return to
the city after the battle.
One of the most appropriate and
beautiful observances ot the holiday
will be that which th* Daughters of th*
American Revolution will conduct at
Piedmont park between 5 and 7 o'clock.
The exercises will be under the direc
tion of Thomas Jefferson chapter snd
the program will consist of prayers,
music, recitations snd an address by
Attorney Sam L. Sllcer.
The railroads are planning for ths
greatest Influx of visitors In the his
tory of the city on Wednesday, If the
weather la anything Ilka favorable. At
4 o'clock In the morning the West Point
will begin operating special excursion
trains from south Georgia, and at In
tervals throughout the morning spe
cials will be brought Into the city and
from all lndtcatlena every railroad will

the throng of visitors who are expected.
Most of the Urge clothing and fur
nishing stores of the city will close at

tivities of the day. The customs house
will observe holiday hours, as will all
public offices, and banks. The city hall
