MARIETTA 8TREET MIS8ION.
The Marietta Street Mission waa 22
years old Friday. This mission Is the
oldest one In the city and Is more gen
erally known as Barclay Mission, fron\
the fact that Mr. John F. Barclay haa
been Its superintendent during all these
years. The work done nt this mission
has received the hearty Indorsement of
men of all creeds, a* well as that of
hundreds connected with no branch of
the church. The Catholic priest who
had charge of the church on Marietta
street, some years ago, said to a promi
nent member of his church that "this
mission has done more to reach , the
masse* and elevate the morals of this
section of the city than all the churches
combined.”
It has been said by eome one that
with the number of churches In Atlanta
there le no need of mission*. This Is
certainly a mistaken Idea. Thousands
are brought under religious Influences
through the personal work done In
these missions who would never
reached through the 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
bo encouraged by every Christian.
Results have not been reached with
out a great deal of patient, earnest nnd
working there all these years. The dis
couragement* have been many and the
obstacles often seemed Insurmountable.
No one connected with the work has
ever expected or received one dollar as
salary. On the contrary. In addition to
time and labor given they have many
times 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 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 nt any
time In the past as scholars, teachers
or workers, to be with us Sunday night.
The service will be mostly a song ser-
. “DIAMOND ADVICE.”
When It's a "question" of diamonds It Is a wise display of
business judgment to inquire Into our partial payment plan of
selling. Wear them while you pay. it will pay you to
remember us when you wish to begin saving money.

THE CRAZE FOR GAROENIA8.
The gardenia, which seems to be the
most popular flower at present among
fashionable people at New York and
Newport, Is know’n In the Routh 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
denias. says:
"The craxe for gardenias stilt holds
awry, and the blossom certainly Is
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 aerenade*, and
now- this beautiful and fragrant flower
Is worn In hats during the casino hoqrs.
"Just who la responsible for the wave
of popularity that has swept the gar
denia Into being the Insignia flower of
the 't«0' Is not positively known, though
all the evidence point* to Mrs. William
G. Roelker, who ever held the delicate
flower in high favor.
“Miss Vera. Gilbert Is responsible for
the wearing of the flower as hat trim'
mlng. At the Casino the other morn'
Ing. It waa some time be for# the hat
flowers were located, nlthough 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." .

ing of the recent acquisitions Is made

Isutts are In some Instances very amus
ing. One was to have been named for
Miss Ruse, th# "Aline," hut 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 th* Joke, other boats were named
"A Pole" and "A Hook."
There are always some excellent mu
elcal talent and entertainers In the
party and thia year a novel entertain
ment will be given for thrf people of

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
lln of a Georgia girl. Miss Annie C,
Worrill, of Cuthbert, who has the dis
tinction of being offered the molt Im
portant operatic engagement ever se
cured by a native of this state, the Ger
man papers announcing that Miss Wor
rill haa signed a three-year contract
with the opera manager In Berlin as
his leading soprano, to sing In one of
the largest theaters In Europ*.
The Interesting fact regarding this
Georgia girl's notable advent Into the
operatic world Is that her musical
training from start to flnlsh waa se
cured from Georgia teachers—first. In
Shorter College, at Rome, with Sirs. T.
J. Simmons, head profesaor of vocal
music In that Institution, Mrs. Simmons
subsequently placing her pupil for spe
cial European training with the famous
teacher, Madame Ellse Grazianl. who
now, singularly enough, become* 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
Shorter College, where Madame Gra-
slana haa signed a permanent contract
ns a leading member of the music fac
ulty.
Madame Graslanl delights In teach
ing American girls, who, she says, have
naturally the moat beautiful of. all
voices. It was on# 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 critic*
have pronounced thl* Georgia voice
even more beautiful than the other.

AN INDUSTRIAL 8CHOOL.
Mrs. Rose hf. Colvin, state commui'
der of the Ladles of the Maccabees, Is
agitating the question of establishing
an Wlsal practical home and school for
children. Mr*. Colvin knows from per
sonal experience and observation how
much such a movement Is. needed. She
feels-'that It shdiild 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
feel like pushing them In an Institution
supported by charity. For such as
these this movement is Intended. Mrs.
Colvin's plans are as follows: To *e
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 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 ma
tron full of affection and sympathy for
these little folk*, one who ran patiently
help them to build up character. The
home must be partly self-suatalnlng;
that la, 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 house In perfect order. One
teacher will be employed at first and
as the Inmates Increase, eo 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
clttxens. A school of this kind can he
organised und conducted on an eco
nomical plan, and the price of such a
home for little ones whose parents have
to be at work and away from them will
be small anil within the means of all
who desire to take advantage of It.
Mrs. Colvin feels sure of success;
she has the support of the member* of
the Order of the Ladle* 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 200. She
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.

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 liostess 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, r re
member last year at Newport there
waa 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 dd you think
of Mr. and Mrs. J., who were at Tux
edo? They brought their traps, valets
and had apparently every luxury ex
cept Mrs. 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 madams'! gown Is properly press
ed; that the hooks and eyes are all on;
to lay out the hat, gloves and shoes
that madams 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 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 aoclety 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 J
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
. bridge on for that morning, or
jerhaps she has Just gone shopping—
t then falls to the hapless lot of the
maid to talk to th? society editor. Some
of the tnalde of the rich are 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?” a*ked
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?”
Bit's that emplral 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-fashioned
mammy answered the 'phjine.
By CHARLOTTE STEWART.
"What gown Is Mrs. Blank going to
wear this afternoon?"
"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 eay 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, regret* 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 th*
White House. It haa even been whis
pered that this young woman Intro
duced the Roosevelts to the most ex
clusive society In Washington.
Mrs. Astor, Miss Lear)', Miss Helen
Gould, Mrs. Donald McLean, In fact,
most woman who are prominent In so
cial and club circles, have their secre
taries. ■
Mrs. Sage on 8ocial Evils.
In tile North American Review, Mrs.
Russell Sage writes Interestingly of the
social evils of the day.
Mrs. Sage denounces gambling as
one of the “Inevitable concomitants of
Idle, extravagant life.” 8be tells of
hostesses politely 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 aro
compelled to resort to just such meas
ures to make up the deficit, lest their
husbands find 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 was sitting in my carriage not long
ago, and, seeing a young friend of
whom I am fond, walking up \he- ave

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
«f this evil among the Northern wo
men. She stated that she had attend
ed several very smart luncheons whlla
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.
Mr*. Elwell (of bridge fame) Is one of
the most Inveterate smokers. Her maid
twice a day All* 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
uawomanly custom.
