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. 307 Marietta street, and It Is hoped 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 we are very anxious to have Just as many as possible of those who have been connected with the mission at any time In the past as scholars, teachers or workers, to he with us Sunday night. The service will be mostly a song ser- ► “DIAMOND ADVICE.” When lt'» a "question'* of diamonds It la a wise display of • business judgment to Inquire into our partial payment plan of selling.

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." domincTparty. Thursday afternoon Mrs. O. L.

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.

Their engagement was announced on June It by J. G. Phelps Stokes, but not until Tuesday did It positively be come known that they were married In Parts, June 21. The first announcement of the mar riage was made In Chicago, through the Willoughby Walling gaflmly. It wus Im mediately communicated to the Unlver slty Settlement In Eldrldge street. Mr. Stokes had taken great Interest In the couple, because their courtship was similar In many ways to his and Rose Pastor’s. Miss Strunsky came Into prominence by her. collaboration with Jack London In the "Kempton-Wace Letters." She was mentioned by the flrst Mrs. Lon don in her bill for a divorce.

BEAUTIFUL LINE OF -NEW BRACELETS— Just Received. Look at Them. Charles W. Crankshaw, Diamond Merchant and Jeweler. Century Building. Whitehall SL 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. MUSIC AT FIRST BAPTIST. The musical program at the First Baptist church on Sunday will be as follows: Morning. Prelude *.. Raff-Lott Comet Gounod Voluntary Gloria In Excelsls—Blumenscheln Offertory. Until the Day Breaks.... Gounod (Mrs. Todd and Miss Dunlap.) Anthem, The Lord Is My Shepherd— .Koschst Postlude Barnard Evening. Prelude Thorne Offertory, Hold Thou My Hand, Briggs (Miss Marguerite Dunlap.) Postlude Harris 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 ed several very smart luncheons while away and after each luncheon cigar ettes were passed. Out of twelve wo men present nine smoked. These wo men have their bridge parties where almost every woman present smokes. Mrs. El well (of bridge fame) Is one of the most Inveterate smokers. Her maid twice a day flits the little gold box with cigarettes, and Mrs. Elwell, while en gaged In a game of cards, smokes Incessantly. It Is a deplorable fact that some of the royal women of Europe started this unwomanly custom. Miss Sarah Quinn, of Washington, Ga, has been the guest the past week of the Misses Smith, of IDS North Jack- son street. Miss Quinn Is well khown In Atlanta from her former visits here and several delightfully Informal par ties have been held In her honor during the past week. Miss Quinn returns to her home next week, but will return to Atlanta for a course In the South ern Library School In the fall.
