MARIETTA STREET MI8BI0N.
The Marietta Street Mission was 22
years old Friday. This'mission Is the
oldest one In the city and Is more gen
erally known as Barclay Mission, fro’m
the fact that Mr. John F. Barclay has
been Its superintendent during all thesa
years. The work done at this mission
has received the hearty Indorsement of
men of all creeds, as well as that of
hundreds connected with Bo branch of
the church. The CatholIB priest who
had charge, of tho church on Marietta
street, some years ago, said to a promi
nent member of his church that “this
mission has done tnore to reach the
masses and elevate the morals of this
section of the city than all tho churches
combined."
It has been said by some one that
with the number of churches In Atlnntn
there Is no need of missions. This Is
certainly a mistaken Idea. Thousands
are brought under religious Influences
through the personal work done In
theee missions who would never be
reached through'the ordinary methods
of the church. And these when con
verted go Into the church of their
choice, so that the missions arc 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
self-sacrificing work on the port of the
faithful little band who have been
working there all these years. The dis
couragements hare been many and the
obstacles often seemed Insurmountable.
No one connected with the work has
ever expected or received one dollar as
■alary. On the contrary. In addition to
time and labor given they have many
times had the burden of the expense to
bear.
On Bunday 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
■peaking of tills anniversary meeting,
Mr. Barclay said: "It Is not 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 us scholars, teachers
or workers, to be with us Sunday night.
The sen-ice will be mostly a song ser-

THE CRAZE FOR 0ARDENIA8.
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 the
cape jesmalne, a flower associated with
all the sentimental floral traditions of
this section. Cholly Knockerbocker, In
referring to the present fancy for gar.
denlas, says:
"The erase for gardenias still holds
swry, and the blossom certainly ii
queen of the floral world at Newport.
"It has been gardeniaa 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 la responsible for the wave
of. popularity that has swept the gar
denia Into being the Insignia flower of
tho '400' fs not positively known, though
ull the evidence points to-Mrs. William
G. Koelker, who ever held the delicate
flower in high favor.
"Miss Vera Gilbert Is responsible for
the wearing of the flower as hat trim
ming. At the Casino 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 feist or recep
tion."

A UNIQUE CAMPING PARTY.
Miss Aline Ruse, of Atlanta, will
leave early In August for Nashville,
Tenn., where she will Join a camping
party for a two weeks' ramp near Wall
ing, In the Tennessee mountains. The
ramp Is located In & picturesque spot
on the Caney Fork River, and the
same party, known ns the Boom Camp
ers, have enjoyed a number of similar
expeditions together. Mr. and Mrs.
Will Leftwlch and Mr. and Mrs. James
H. Parkes are chaperones, and there
will be In addition about a doxen young
people to complete the congenial per
sonnel.
The Boom Campers, by much expe
rience, have solved the problem of
camp comfort and luxury. They have
competent servants anil n large num
ber of tenia. Including an Innovation,
a combination dining and kitchen tent.
All have wooden lloora and are at
tractively fitted up. They have their
regular camp stationery adorned with
appropriate pictures and their name
formed by the line of a fisherman at
the head. The site affords ideal bath
ing und other river as well as woodland
pleasures, yhe Boom flotilla Includes
two steel boats, a launch, and wooden
row boats. At each camp the christen
ing of the recent acquisitions Is made
a pretty ceremony. The names of these
boats are In some instances very amus
ing. One was to have been named for
Miss Ruse, the "Aline," but the paint
er who placed the name on the side of
the pretty little craft made a mistake
and wrote It “A Line," so to carry
out the Joke, other boats were named
"A Pole" and "A Hook.”
There are always some excellent mu
sical talent and entertainers In the
party and this year a novel entertain
ment will be given for the people of
the community who always extend
many courtesies to the party. They
leave for Walling August 4, and Miss
Ruse, who has many friends In Nash
ville, will stop en route for home for s
visit there.

A GEORGIA GIRL’S' SUCCESS.
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.
Worrill, of Cuthbert, who has the dis
tinction of being offered the most Im
portant operatic engagement ever se
cured by a native of tbls state, the Ger
man papers announcing that Miss Wor
rill has signed s three-year contract
with the opera manager In Berlin as
hts leading soprano, to sing In ons of
the largest theaters In Europe.
The Interesting fact regarding this
Georgia girl's notable advent Into the
operatic world Is that her musical
training from start to finish waa se
cured from Georgia teachers—flrst. In
Shorter College, at Rome, with Mrs. T.
J. Simmons, head professor of vocal
music In that Institution, Mrs. Simmons
subsequently placing her pupil for spe
cial European training with the famous
teacher, Madame Ellse Graxlanl, who
now, singularly enough, becomes a
Georgian by udoptlon, her career In
Europe concluding with this triumph
of her Georgia pupil, the European
teacher to make her home henceforth
In the same Qeorgla school, the famous
Shorter College, where Madame Gra-
xlana has signed a permanent contract
as a leading member of the music fac
ulty.
Madame Graxlanl 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 most beautiful one he
had ever heard. Some German crlilca
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 the Maccabees, Is
agitating the question of establishing
an Ideal practical home and school for
children. Mrs. Colvin knows from per
sonal 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 pries, they do not
feel like pushing them In an Institution
supported by charity. For such as
thsse this movement Is Intended. Mrs.
Colvin’s plans are as follpws: To se
cure a healthy location out of the city
with land enough fo cultivate a nice
garden, have cowe and chickens, flow
ers and lawns, a nlca large, cool, airy
house furnished plainly and healthy,
with no carpets or extra drapery, but
beds of spotless linen, a sitting room
with piano, pictures, good moral books
and other things for the amusement
and education of the children; a mt
Iron full of affection and sympathy for
these little folks, one who can patiently
help them to bund 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 girls to assist the matron In keep
ing the chouse In perfect order. One
teacher will be employed st first and
as the Inmates Increase, so will, the
help. The children are to be allowed
to study natyre In a practical way,

Mrs. Russell Sage Writes Interestingly of Social Evils.
Denounces Gambling As “Inevitable Concomitant
of Idle Extravagant Life.”
By CHARLOTTE STEWART.
Several days ago one of Atlanta's
very Mever 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 tho guests remarked how
strange it was that so few of Atlanta's
smgrt women had maids. "They have
beautiful homes, traps, automobiles
and every luxury except a maid. I re
member laat year at Newport there
wax Mrs. So 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 citizens."
"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 Mrs. J., who were at Tux
edo? They brought their traps, valets
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-thls day of much entertaining and
much dressing my lady's maid plays an
Important part. 'Tls 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 complete, compli
ment mlladt’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 Mra. Blank Is not up—In
fact, she very seldom is, unless there
Is a bridge on tor that morning, or
perhaps she has just gone shopping—
t then falls to the hapless lot of the
mold to talk to the society editor. Some
of the maids of the rich era very 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 gwlne wear that same dress,
I reckon,” came the answer from the
other end of the line. *
What dress Is that?"
Hit’s that empiral one what’s got
real plnted lace on It.” It was then up
to the editor to fix up a gown for
madame to wear to the luncheon. On
another occasion an old-fashioned
mammy answered the 'phone.
"I declar to goodness I dunno, honey;
I ain't hearn her say; just don't say
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 a*
press agent. I believe Mrs. Roosevelt's
secretary, Silas Isabelle Hsyner, 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 the
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, Miss Helen
Gould, Mrs. Donald McLean, In fact,
most .women who are prominent In eo-
clal and club circles, have their secre
taries.
Mrs. Sags on Social Evils.
In the North American Review, Mrs.
Russell Sage writes Interestingly of ths
social evils of the day.
Mrs. Sage denounces gambling ns
one of the “inevitable concomitants of
Idle, extravagant life." She tells of
hostesses poll|ely bullying men Into
games of poker or bridge whist and
making them pay dearly. She adds:
“The trouble Is that the wives of
many men In this class squander In
gambling and other forms of dissipa
tion the money their husbands give
them for household expenses, and are
compelled to resort to Just such meas
ures to make up the defldL lest their
husbands And out the 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 waa sitting In my carriage not long
ago, and, seeing s 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

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 It 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. Elwell (of bridge fame) Is one of
the most Inveterate smokers. Her maid
twice a day fills the little gold box with
cigarettes, and Mrs. Elwell, while en
gaged In a game of cards, smoke*
Incessantly.
It Is a deplorable faqt that some of
the royal women of Europe started tide
unwomanly cuetom.
