After some preliminary work by the executive committee, the convention was called to order, minutes read, etc. A very fine talk by Mrs. L. A. Dillard, president of the LaGrange union, proved ‘ to be a little gem, full of the wisest sugges tions on "How to Alake Our Meetings Interesting.’’ Mrs. Dillard la a ready olT-hand speaker, and she Is always heard gladly and with profit. Following this little speech were the reports of the county presidents. This part of the program wae not full, ow ing to the absence of many of the of ficers. All of the reports given were full of encouragement and Interest. Airs. J. L, Bradford, of LaGrange, sang a solo, “Not a Sparrow Fall- eth," delightfully. A talk on temperance work-among the colored people woe made by Mrs. E. P. Morgan, of Amerlcus. Following this talk were two-minute talks on "How to -Do W. C. T. U, Home Mission Work” by fifteen of the members In the unions over the state. These talks were to the point, forcibly and well given. This session was in teresting and characterised by the same spirit of the morning hour. Tuesday evening exercises of the Woman’s Chrlstlnn Temperance Union came near being broken up.by a fall ing rain; hut In spite of the downpour, a good audience was on hand, and there was n treat for all who came. After the convention was railed to order by Mrs. Jennie Hnrt Blbley, Rev. J. G. Herndon, pastor of the LaOrange Presbyterian church, rend a Scripture lesson and offered prayer. Then the mayor of LaGrange, Air. J. D. Ed mondson, made a fine speech of greet lng, extending the warmest welcome to nil, and with beautiful words of encouragement about the work of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Rev. Fletcher Walton, of the First Afothodlst church, made one of his best talks in behalf of the churches, giving points of history about the temperance work before the union took It up. *. The unnual address of the president, Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, was Indeed the treat of the evening. It was able and eloquent and earnest. Wednesday morning found the mem bers of the convention of the Woman’s chrlstlnn Temperance Union In their places bright and early, and ready for work. Everywhere . were beautiful banners and varl-oolored cards and unique Invitations, gotten up In most artistic fnshlan, on large cnrdbonrds— these to be put up In public places to cntch the attention of the public and Invite them to the meetings. The convention was called to order by the president, who also led In the devo tional exercises. Allss Orlffln, who Is the very com petent secretary, read the minute* of the Inst session, which were promptly adopted. Mrs, Charles Atorrls, of Mlllcdgsvllle, submitted a fine paper on "Prison Work,” whlrh was listened to with closest attention and heartily Indorsed. The next paper was read by Miss Ruth Dodge. Her paper was entitled "Our Pledge and What It Means to Us.” .Hhe met promptly and ably all objections that may be urged to taking pledges, and showing conclusively how helpful they are when sincerely entered Into. She said God Himself pledges to His people what He will do for us—a fine conclusive argument. There was a motion Immediately mode and adopted to have this excellent paper published in The Bulletin, the state organ of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Just here Mrs. Jennie Hart Sibley arose and read the following telegram, ad dressed to Mayor Woodward, of At lanta, asking for Its adoption by the convention, which was promptly and enthusiastically done: "To Mayor Woodward, Atlanta, Ga. "Greetings: We, the Georgia Tem perance Christian Union, In session, do praise the Lord that by your act of closing the saloons you have declared the saloon to be a menace to peace, the hotbed of anarchy, crime and blood shed. Our prayers ascend for their permanent closing and for God’s pro tection and peace In our Capital City.” A beautiful and earnest prayer was made tor the city of Atlanta this morn ing on the opening of the session. Alter the adoption of the telegram to Atlanta, Mrs. Grist, of Marietta, gave a beautiful vocal selection. Three fine papers on "Purity In Lit erature and Art were read by Mrs. R. J. Unmet, of Newnan, Ga.: "Pictures In the Home,” by Mrs. Frank Har well, of LaGrange, and "Good Booka In the Home," by Miss Marllu Smith, of LaGrange. Airs. Harwell's paper was considered worthy of publication In leaflet form, and It will be used os the literature of the body. The compliment was wrell deserved. Mr. J. B. Bowers, of Dalton, Ga., was Introduced to the convention and made a most pertinent little talk, and he gave the convention 15 In’ token of his appreciation of their grand work and of their kindness to him, as he has been working his own way and striving for an education. The talk and the money were graciously received and he was made an honorary member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, with the white ribbon pinned on his Inpel. Bev. Mr. Elliott, of the Second Meth odist church, was also Introduced and responded In an eloquent speech of en couragement. Ho also was made an honorary member. An Item more of Importance was the appointment by the president for 1907 of Miss Carrie Lee Stokes, of Missouri, and Miss Lillie o'Danlel national or ganisers, with Mrs. Nell Berger, of MIs- sourl. This session was crowded with work, which was dispatched with fine methods and good spirit. The church Is most artistically deco rated with palms and ferns and flow ers, Intertwined with mottoes and ban ners of the different unions. ELLEN PATT1LLO CALLOWAY. LaGrange. New York, Sept. 27.—There Is one comfortable thing about the cent tendency to eliminate season lines to a great extent In so far as ma terlals are concerned, and to make all wool and silk fabrics so.soft and supple that they are as appropriate for summer os for winter, anJ may be used Interchangeably. The frock of crepe, voile, silk moussellne, ohlf- fon cloth, eta, made for summer wear, will now re-enforce a winter a robe In moet satisfactory faahion, and that fact Is a blessing to theewt of few clothes. The sleevesless, low-cut bodices of the summer, worn over short sleeves and gulmpe of laca or other filmy stuff, will have their echoes In dressy winter gowns, and already some of these models are being modified and reproduced In crepes, soft silks and silk voiles,, etc. Or If by chance they wero originally made in such materials they will be altogether appropriate for the coming season. PLAIDS AND TAFETAS. In certain trig little walking costumes of mixed tweed or serge of neu tral tone, waistcoats of Scotch plaid are used with reeultant smartness and gray cloth embroidered In little steel beads often forme the waist coats for the tailored costume. Very high girdles closely fitted and taking on a waistcoat effect by buttoning across In double-breasted fashion with handsome buttons are seen even upon very dressy frocks In beautiful brocades of plain silks, and this same Idea Is developed In connection with some of the mw three-piece costumes for street wear. j To trim cloth with taffeta of a same shade Is not exactly a new fashion, but It Is a fashion that Has suddenly been revived and many of the new gowns are made up with this sort of trimming. Embroidered taffeta com bined with English embroidery, the open-work and eyelet hole kind, Is the most expensive and effective, hut another trimming offered Is a side pleat ing covered with French knots or the same shade of silk as the taffeta. A gray gown, for Instance, is trimmed with these bands of pleated taffeta about three or four Inches wide, and Is heavily embroidered with the French knots. Jt Is an odd style of trimming, and In tills case the oddity makes It smart and popular. BLACK8. ’ That black will be extensively worn seems to be established beyond shadow of doubt, and not only In broadcloth and other heavy woolens, but In silks and In sheer stuffs the supply of black seems practically endless. In line with the black materials comes such an assortment of black laces an bos not been seen before, a fact proving the faith of manufacturing circles In the vogue of black. Black silk venlse and black silk cluny are offered In beautiful designs and In all Imaginable forms, and for trimming the sheer black materials come black silk point de gaxe and many embroidered net laces. A host of combination laces In black silk, often uniting four or five heavy and fine laces In oni design, are also In evidence. LACES AND TRIMMING8. In white laces there Is so far nothing strikingly new, and the heavy Irish and Venetian varieties bid fair to retain their prestige, novelties In lace being embodied In combination laces rather than In separate and In individual varieties. The showing of gauxy materials, embroidered tulles and nets, silk gauxes, silk mousselines, chiffon'cloths,' and the slightly heavier yet stilt gossamer-Ilke stuffs, such as silk voile and silks of the radium order, Is really amaxlng; and for evening and house wear these shimmering trans parent or semi-transparent stuffs will be tremendously popular. The em broidered tulles and neta will be lavishly used, too, as trimmings, being In troduced even upon broadcloth and heavy allks. The stripes, gauxes, chiffons, etc., are particularly pretty, and there is a pronounced fancy for such semi-transparent striped effects In contrasting weave or fabrics, but In one tone. FROCK8 FOR CHILDREN. | There are no costumea for children more suggestive of Infantile charm than those made of white lingerie materials. These dainty washable tolleta show many exquisite details, and In the well-heated American houses they are often carried over all winter for house wear. Under-slips of tinted or white flannel, or maybs of silk, make them possible for the coolest days, and there Is an elegance about them that no»' washable stuffs, however rich, never could achieve. So admired are these costumes. In fact, that of late seasons It has been the thing to make up many lightweight winter textiles on lingerie lines. Wash embroideries and lacea are employed with thin lawn for the gamps of low frocks, this white, fresh note given a most pleasing touch. A dress for a girl of eight Is of Hull blue rajah, with pointed yoke of the name In open embroidery. A sash of the knotted silk girdles this smart, long-bodlced dress at the side, and ’.he sleeves are short elbow affairs In fine kilting and embroidery. Dull red cashmere with a yoke of white silk braided and embroidered In red, accomplishes another smart gown for the same age. The very short skirt of this Is In scallops above a frill fall, a band of braid and embroidery outlining the scallops. An empire bodice Is stimulated by the shirring of the bodice, this then edged with a double frill. The long sleeves are ehtrred at the fofeartn and In fluffs above. tertalntng by three of her girl friends, Miss Nannie Stephens and Misses Vio la and Atarle Parks, and her guests will be: Mrs. Cay McCall, Mrs, Peter Er win, Airs.
