MARIETTA 8TREET MISSION.
The Marietta Street Mission was 21
years old Friday. This mission Is the
oldest one In the city and Is more gen
erally known as Barclay Mission, from
the fact that Mr. John F. Barclay has
l>een Its superintendent during all these
years. The work done at this mission
lias received the hearty Indorsement of
men of all creeds, as well ae that of
hundreds connected with Bo branch of
tho church. The CattioUt priest who
had charge of the church (In Marietta
street, some years ago, said to a promi
nent member of his church that "this
mission has done more to reach the
masses and elevate the morals of this
section of the city than all the churches
combined."
It has been said by some one that
with the number of churches In Atlanta
there Is no need of missions. This Is
certainly a mistaken Idea. Thousands
are brought under religious Influences
through the personal work done In
these missions who would never be
reached through ths ordinary methods
of the church. And these when con
verted go Into the church of their
choice, so that the missions are step
ping stones to the church, and should
be encouraged by every Christian.
Results have not been reached with
out a great deal of patient, earnest and
Hclf-sacrttlclng work on the part of the
faithful little band who have been
working there all these years. The dis
couragements have been many nnd the
obstacles often seemed Insurmountable.
No one connected with the work has
ever expected or received one dnllsr as
salary. On the contrary. In addition to
lime and labor given they have many
limes had the burden of the expense to
bear.
On Sunday night appropriate ser
vices will be held at the mission. No.

that there will be a large attendance. In
speaking of this anniversary meeting,
Mr. Barclay said: "It la mV the Inten
tion to have a regular program. But

many as possible of those who have
been connected with the mission at any
time In the past as scholars, teachers

THE CRAZE FOR GARDENIA8.
The gardenia, which seems to be the
most popular flower at present among
fashionable people at New York and
Newport, Is known In the South as ths
rape Jesmalne, a flower associated with
all the sentimental floral traditions of
this section. Cholly Knockerbocker, In
referring to the present fancy for gar
den las, says:
"The erase for gardenias stIU holds
awry, and the blossom certainly li
queen of the floral world at Newport.
"It. has been gardenias for the bowl,
gardenias for the hair, gardenias for
the corsage In the morning and gar
denias for the moonlight serenades, and
now this beautiful and fragrant flower
Is worn In hats during the casino hours.
“Just who Is responsible for the wave
of popularity that has swept the gar
rienla Into being the Insignia flower of
the '400' Is not positively known, though
nil the evidence points to Mrs. William
G. Roelker, who ever held the delicate
flower In high favor.
"Miss Vera Gilbert Is responsible for
the wearing of tho flower aa hat trim
ming. At the Caalno the other morn
ing, It was some time before the hat
flowers, were located, although every
one noticed the well-known perfume.
"The pretty fad of sending a gardenia
with an Invitation also Is still a popular
way to bid a guest to a fexst or recep
tion."

A GEORGIA GIRL’8 8UCCES8.
The Georgian a few days ago pro
duced an article from The Cuthbert
Leader relative to the triumph in Ber
lin of a Georgia girl. Miss Annie C.
Worrlll, of Cuthbert, who has the dis
tinction of being offered the most Im
portant operatic engagement ever se
cured by a native of this state, the Ger
man papers announcing that Miss Wor
rlll has signed a three-year contract
with the opera manager In Berlin as
his leading soprano, to alng In one of
the largest theaters In Europe,
The Interesting fact regarding this
Georgia girl's notable advent Into the
operatic world Is that her .musical
trulnlng from start to finish was ss-
curod from Georgia teachers—flrst, In
Shorter College, at Rome, with Mrs. T.
J. Simmons, hend professor of vocal
music In that Institution, Mrs. Simmons
subsequently placing her pupil for spe
cial Kuropeun training with the famous
teacher. Madame Ellse Graslanl, who
now, singularly enough, becomes a
Georgian by adoption, her career In
Europe concluding with this triumph
of her Georgia pupil, the European
teacher to make her home henceforth
In the same Georgia school, the famous
8horter College, where Madame Gra-
siana has signed a permanent contract
as a leading member of the music fac
ulty.
Madame Graslanl delights In teach
ing American girls, who, she says, have
naturally the most beautiful of all
voices. It was one of her American
pupils whose singing so captivated the
German emperor that he pronounced
her voice the moet beautiful one he
had ever heard. Some German critics
have pronounced this Georgia voice
even more beautiful than the other.

AN INDUSTRIAL 8CH00L.
Mrs. Rose M. Colvin, state comman
der of the Ladles of ths Maccabees, Is
agitating the question of establishing
an Ideal practical home and school for
children. Mrs. Colvin knows from per
aonal experience and observation how
much such a movement .Is needed. She
feels that It should appeal to every
parent In our state. There are children
In all of our communities who have lost
either father or mother, some who have
lost both, and while the parents or
guardian are not able to send them to
colleges and pay the price, they do not
feePIlke pushing them In an Institution
supported by charity. For such aa
these this movement Is Intended. Mrs.
Colvin’s plans are as follows: To se
cure a healthy location out of the city
with land enough to cultivate a nice
garden, have cows and chickens, flow
ers and lawns, a nice large, cool, airy
house furnished plainly nnd healthy,
with no carpets or extra drapery, but
beds of spotless linen, a sitting room
with piano, plctiires, good moral books
and other things for the amusement
and education of the children; a ma
tron full of affection and sympathy for
these little folks, one who can patiently
help them to build up character. The
home must be partly self-sustaining;
that Is, the boys who are old enough
must work the garden, milk the cows,
and do all other extra out-door work;
the gtrlx to assist the matron In keep
ing the house In perfect order. One
teacher will be employed at first and
as the Inmates Increase, so. will the
help. The children are to be allowed
to study nature In a practical- way,
planting seed and watching Its devel
opment, do practical drawing, carpen
tering, etc. on small means and .grow
to be useful men and women and good
cttlsens. A school of this kind can be
organised and conducted on an eco
nomical plan, and the price of such a
home for little ones whose parents have
to bq at work and away -from them will
be small and within the means of all
who desire to take advantage of IL
Mrs. Colvin feels sure of success;
she has the support of the members of
the Order of the Ladles of the Macca
bees of the world, In the state of Geor
gia and the members of the Psycho
logical Society, which Is well estab
lished In Atlanta, numbering 100. 8he
has made a success of establishing the
Order of the Ladles of the Maccabees
and this new enterprise will grow Into
popularity through the same kind of
perseverance.

Mrs. Russell Sage Writes Interestingly of Social Evils.
Denounces Ga\nbling As “Inevitable Concomitant
of Idle Extravagant Life.”
Several days ago one of Atlanta’s
very clever young matrons was enter
taining a few friends at luncheon and
very naturally the conversation turned
upon clothes and household affairs.
During the luncheon the hostess who
had occasion to mention the name of
"Annie” once or twice, was asked who
this person was.
"Oh, Annie! she Is my maid, and my
bosom friend."
In a few words the hostess expressed
the Important part a maid usually
plays In the life of a society woman.
One of the guests remarked how
strange It was that so few of Atlanta's
smart women had maids. "They have
beautiful homes, traps, automobiles
and every luxury except a maid. I re
member last year at Newport there
was Mrs. Bo and So with her two
pretty daughters, who spent some time
at the fashionable resort. How they
managed without a (maid I do not
know, yet the husband and father of
this family Is one of Atlanta's wealth
lest cltlxens."
"The fact that Mrs. So and So and
her daughters had no maid was bad
enough." remarked an attractive wid
ow present, "but what do you think
of Mr. and Mra. J., who were at Tux
edo? They brought their traps, vqlets
and had apparently every luxury ex
cept Mra. J. was traveling without a
maid.”
It does seem quite Inconsistent that
so many Southern women who live
well, dress well and travel a great deal,
do not have maids.
In this day of much entertaining and
much dressing my lady’s maid plays an
Important part. 'Tis her duty to see
that madame's gown Is properly press
ed; that the hooks and eyes are all on;
to lay out the hat, gloves and shoes
that madame will wear on this or that
occasion; to prepare her bath, bring
her powders and perfumes and when
the whole toilet Is coipplete, compli
ment mlladl's appearance.
Besides all these things, there Is a
very much more Important task for
the maid of the society devotee. That
awful person, the society editor, must
know each day what madame Is going
to wear that morning to a bridge par
ty; again what gown will she don at 2
o'clock for Mrs. Blank’s luncheon; In
the afternoon what wrap will she wear
on the coaching party, and so on ad
Infinitum.
Very often Mrs. Blank Is not up—In
fact, she very seldom Is, unless there
Is a bridge on for that morning, or
perhaps she has Just gone shopping—
t then falls to the hapless lot of the
maid to talk to the society editor. Some
of the maids of the rich are verV intel
ligent, but very few of them have col
lege educations.
“If Mrs. So and So Is out, can you
tell me what she Is going to wear to
Mrs. Smith’s luncheon today?" asked
the society editor one day recently.
"She’s gwine wear that same dress,
I reckon.” came the answer from the
Other end of the line.
What dress Is that?”
lilt's that empire! one what's got
real plnted lace on It.” It was then up
to the editor to flx up a gown' for
madame to wear to the luncheon. On
another occasion an old-faihloned
mammy ankwered the ’phone.
By CHARLOTTE STEWART.
"What gown la Mra. Blank going to
asp f hla sflernnon
wear this afternoon?
"I declar to goodncsB I dunno, honey;
I ain't hearn her aay; Just don’t xay
nothin' ’bout no dress. but be shore
you say she looked mighty pretty."
After all It would be a very good
Idea for the wealthy women of society
to have a secretary who would save
her all such annoyances as the writing
of notes of acceptance, regrets or con
dolences, and at the same time act as
press agent. I believe Mrs. Roosevelt's
secretary. Miss Isabelle Hayner, a
young woman of birth and social posi
tion, not only attends to her enormous
correspondence, but decides who will
be Invited to the social affairs at ths
White House. It has even been whis
pered that this young woman Intro
duced the Roosevelts to the moat ex
clusive society In Washington. •
Mrs. Astor, Miss Leary, Mias Helen
Gould, Mrs. Donald McLean, In fact,
most women who are prominent in so
cial and club circles, have their secre
taries.
Mrs. Safie on Social Evils.
In the North American Review, Mrs.
Russell Sage writes Interestingly of ths
social evils of the day.
Mra. Sage denounces gambling as
one of the “Inevitable concomitants of
Idle,- extravagant life.” She tells of
hostesses politely bullying men Into
games of poker or bridge whist and
making them pay dearly. She adds:
"The trouble la that ths wives of
many men In this class squander In
gambling and other forms of dissipa
tion the money their husbands glvs
them for household expenses, and are
compelled to resort to Just such meas
ures to make up the deficit, lest their
husbands find out ths true state of af
fairs and adopt drastic measures to
correct them. • • •
"Week-end parties have bridge whist
as a sole purpose. Rooms are hired
and furnished. In all parts of New
York city, by fashionable young wo
men who do nothing but gamble there.
I was sitting In my carriage not long
ago. and, seeing a young friend of
whom I am fond, walking up the ave
nue, I Invited her to drive with me.
But she waved her hand and exclaimed
I can't today. I’ve been losing at
euchre, and now I’m going to make It
up at bridge,' and she hurried on. • * •
"The Idle rich are no more vicious
than the Idle poor, but they are much
more lacking In sympathy with one
another."
It Is a well known fact that custom
of cigarette smoking among women Is
spreading rapidly. One of Atlanta's
matrons who recently returned from
the North was asked If she saw much
of this evil among the Northern wo
men. She stated that she had attend
