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- "DIAMOND ADVICE.” When it’s m "question" of diamonds It Is 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 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." domiwTparty. Thursday afternoon Mrs. O. L. Jer- nlgan will entertain at a domino party In honor of Mrs. A. C. Jernlgan and Miss Irene Denny, of Birmingham, and Miss Morgan, of Thomaavllle. About forty guests will be enter tained. 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.

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. DINNER8 AT COUNTRY CLUB.

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. Well Known Atlanta Women Travel Without Maids Photo by Leonsy. MISS MARY DEA8 TUPPER.

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, BEAUTIFUL LINE OF -NEW BRACELETS— Just Received. Look at Them. Charles W. Crankshaw, Diamond Merchant and Jeweler. Century Building.

Postlude Harris 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 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 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. ^ Personal Mention \ " Jf Miss Sarah Quinn, of Washington, Ga., has been the guest the past week of the JJIssea Smith, of 125 North Jack- eon etreet.
