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. EUGENE V. HAYNES CO., The Diamond Palace. 37 Whitehall St. vlco. Rev. Sam Small Is expected to give a short talk, followed by a testi mony meeting. We are anxious that the meeting shall spiritually help all present.” 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." . DOMINO - PARTY. Thuradny afternoon Mr*. O. L.

At each ramp the christen ing of the recent acquisitions Is made n pretty ceremony. The names of these 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."

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.

Their engagement was announced on June 1# by J. G. Phelps Stokes, but not until Tuesday dld .lt positively be come known that they were married In Paris, June 2#. The first announcement of the mar rlage was made In Chicago, through the Willoughby Walling gaftmly. It was Im mediately communicated to the Unlver slty Settlement In Eldridge street. Mr. Stokes had taken great interest In the couple, because their courtship was similar In many ways to hla 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 first Mrs. Lon don In her bill for a divorce. Miss Strunsky and Mr. Walling met last spring In St. Petersburg. The young woman went abroad on a Jour' nallstlc errand, while Walling was making a study of true conditions In Russia for the purpose of reporting back to the University settlement.

BEAUTIFUL LINE OF -NEW BRACELETS— Just Received. Look st Them. Charles W. Crankshaw, Diamond Merchant and Jeweler. Century Building. Whitehall SL 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. MUSII? AT FIRST BAPTIST. The musical program at the First Baptist church on Sunday will be as follows: Morning. Prelude RafT-Lott Comet Gounod Voluntary ’ Gloria In Exrelsls—Blumenscheln Offertory, Until the Day Breaks .. Gounod (Mrs. Todd and Mlrs Dunlap.) Anthem. The Lord Is My Shepherd— Koschat Poatlude Barnard Evening. Prelude Thorne Offertory, Hold Thou My Hand, Briggs (Miss Marguerite Dunlap.) Poetlude .. .. .. .... Harris 1 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 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 «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. ^ Personal Menti o"~T) Miss Sarah Quinn, of Washington, Ga, has been the guest the past week of the tylases Smith, of 185 North Jack' son street. Miss Quinn la well known In Atlanta from her former visits here and several delightfully Informal par ties have been held In her honor during the past week.
