The very critical Illness of Mrs . former's liberation- from Fortreas Mon- Varina Jefferson Davis, at a New York ,oc - later making their home at Beau- hotel Is of more than ordinary Inter- r ,olr - M,t ?" the beautiful estate pre- noiei, IS or more tnan ordinary inter-1 , ented to Prellll lent Dav .js by Mrs. Dsraey. Beauvoir for several years HENRY-DU SIGN ON. The social event of Tuesday will bo tho marriage of Miss May duBIgnon ; to Mr. W. A. C. Henry, of Columbus, l Ohio. The ceremony will ho performed ; by Rev. Klnloch Nelson, bishop of the I diocese of Georgia, assisted by Rev. . Z. B. Farland, of All Saints Church. > Miss Nan duBIgnon will be maid of 1 honor, and Mr. Robert Henry, brother , of the groom, will act as best man. ' There will be no other attendants, and while the ceremony Is being performed | the Immediate family and relatives of ' the bride will stand near her. The bride's gown will be u handsome one I of white chiffon cloth, fashioned with rose point Ince. The brldemald’s gown -Will be of yellow radium silk, and she will carry an armful of yellmv chrys anthemum*). The bride will be given away by her brother-in-law, Mr. Rob ert Alston. The duBIgnon home, which b" so well adapted to entertaining, .will be dec orated in yellow, chrysanthemums to be used In profusion. In the spacious hallway the walls will -be decorated with branches , of autumn leaves and ■mllax. The ceremony will be followed by a est throughout the country, and espe cially In the South, where the fame and glory of her distinguished hus band's career are treasured as an tm perishable heritage by the people of this section of the republic. As the wife of Hon. Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Southern Confederacy, Mrs. Davis has always held the intercut and esteem of the people of the Sduth. Her long resi dence In New-'York' necessarily les sened the ties of close and affectionate relationship which would.have existed between herself and the men and By MRS. RALPH VAN LANDINGHAM. the' employer would have some slight feeling of security In admitting to hei home an absolutely-unknown person. In order to make this plan effective, It would be necessary to rule that a servant who was possessed of any of the many demons that we are familial with, such as stealing, drunkenness, etc., and who was reported to the sec retary, could not get employment again and the members should agree not to hire any one whom the secre tary has put upon the "black list." We have now several agencies Id town, but they do not stand for any thing except to get the negro a Job. There Is some risk In engaging a ser vant from these, as I have heard of instances where really bad characters have secured comfortable and tempor ary homes through these mediums. If some enterprising young business woman would undertake,to form and manage an association upon some such lines as suggested; I believe It would home In the 8outlv-but: It' cou obliterate entirely,tho feeling qf tender consideration due her as ,ye wife and widow of one of the greatest und most loyal sons the South has produced. Born In Mississippi, Mrs..Davis' cur ly years were spent In what Is termed the "far South." As Miss Howell, she was one of the belles of her state, and was a young woman of bright, alert Intelligence, trained and cultivated In the best schools of those days. She met Mr. Davis, who quickly fell a victim to her many womanly attrac tions, after he become a widower, his first wife, General Taylor's daughter, having died a few years previously. Mrs. Davis spent many years at Wash ing, D. C„ where her brilliant husband held the portfolio of war In the cabi net of President Franklin Pierce, and litter represented the state of Missis sippi In the national senate. At Washington Mrs. Davis was the center of a remarkable coterie of Southern women, whose personal charms arc still held among the delightful traditions of the nation's capital. During the civil war; Mrs. Davis lived In Montgomery, and later In Richmond, when tho headquarters of tho Confederate government was moved to tho latter city. When the war closed President and Mrs. Davis spent a while at Memphis, after the became a mecca for Southerners and Northerners nllke, and there Mr. and Mrs. Davis dispensed a generous hos pitality. After the death of President Davis, In 1889, Mrs. Davis and her daughter, the late Miss Winnie Davis, went to New York to reside, and, for many years, had their home at a hoter In the metropolis. After the untimely death of Miss Winkle Davis, In 1898, Mrs. Davie continued to live In New York, and althdugh quite an elderly woman and at times a feeble one, she has given much time to literary pur suits, those knowing her best claiming that she largely-supported herself by the returns' for work done on the news papers of New York. Just previous to her present serious Illness, Mrs. Davis was Interested In the preparation of'her autobiography, which promised to be a work of great value, both from an historical as well as a literary..point of view. Mrs. Davis Is a woman'of strong, aggressive per sonality, cultured mid agreeable. As o conversationalist, loyal to her friends and to her convictions. She has only one child living, Mrs. Hayes, of Colorado Springs, herself a bright, attractive woman. After a long life, crowded with thrilling events, and In touch with the most exciting episodes In the history of the republic, Mrs. Davis Is drifting out upon the restless tide, which washes the eternal shores, leaving no shadows to mar the record of her memory. An unusually long life, sometimes dominated by an aggressive personality, Is drawing to a close; free from serious blot or blem ish, and leaving ns a worthy heritage the record of clean and upright living and of an undying loyalty to tire and Its matchless achievements. In the passing of such a woman the country stands with bared head, and reverent mlan awaiting the Inevitable summons. ! I lmve. read with Interest and appro jval the tltnety article on '-the Servant {problem”, appearing in a. recent edi tion of The Georgian. In answer to the appeal therein, as to “what shall .we do,” I offer the following suggestion: It occurs to me that an association composed of all who depend upon "help" would be i entirely practicable. Bach member to pay a yearly aum. say a dollar, as dues, and this amount to bo u»cd to pay a recretary and desk rent. This secretary to keep an ac count of all servants hired through the association, and the causes of dismis sal, etc. In this way a complete record of the habits, Integrity and'efficlcncy of each servant would be at the com mand of members of the association. Then In case of a sudden rupture be tween “capital and labor" the mistress would report the cause as well as ef- teft, to the secretary, and this special servant would be put upon a black list and could not gat employment again with the members. In this way it would soon be known that a recom mendation front the secretary would be of real worth to the employed, and our domestic economy. This same Idea, In a different line, has been tried with success, and recommend it to the consideration of Atlanta women. large reception, Mr. and Mrs. Henry leaving on the midnight train for the East. Among the out-of-town guests who will be present are; Miss Mary Clay, of Paris, Ky.; Miss Frledn Raucrs, Savannah; Miss Na- tallna Weed und Miss Katherine Rich mond, of Flushing, Long Island; Miss S FREE Send Seff-Addressed Stamped Envelope or Call for Free Circular Entitled: The Value of the Human Eye and How to Preserve It.

A wedding of Interest to a wide cir cle of friends In Georgia and Alabama was thnt of Miss Julia Neville to Mr. Paul H. Ivy. of Birmingham. Ala,, which took place Tuesday evening at the home of the bride. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. W. Lee, and the only attendants Miss Reble Workman and Mr. Earl Moore Ivy. The bride wore a gown of white chif fon cloth, trimmed with rose point lace, her veil fastened with orange blos soms. Her bouquet was of bride roses. The decorations were entirely In white and green, white roses and as paragus ferns being used profusely. The marriage was witnessed by only a small number of Intimate friends of A Cook! A Cook! My Kingdom fora Good Cook By MRS. J. O. PARMELE. The domestic problem Is one that can not be solved at a desk, especially In this day and time, when harassed housekeepers read with pity and pos sibly contempt the words of those who are constantly advancing new theories of what should be done on a cold, dis agreeable morning after the cook has taken African leave. No one but mother knows why father, with his perfect horror of a domestic commo tion, Is In such an unusual hurry to go to his office; no one hut mother knows the tragedy that a tardy ptark brings to the heart of a little one/ The packing trust Investigation may have saved the lives of many, -but it has also brought many a sigh to the kitchen table as a housekeeper thinks of the bread and canned goods lunches that are no more. The Northern wom an,'with her German servants and her Mrs. Rorer rules and regulations,-has ns much to annoy her—so she says— as does the Southerner with her Nan cy. who Is from a cotton field or from a kitchen where tt made no difference how she prepared a meal or kept her kitchen. Just so she had something to eat and on time. Why have German girls the advantage of others In do mestic service? They are not stronger physically than our colored women. It Is because they are trained and their mistresses are trained. Go to Wash ington and see the leading women of that most'Interesting and cultured city with baskets doing their marketing; in Pittsburg the wealthiest of the million aire clty„can be seen In cooking schools, sitting at their miniature ranges work Ing diligently under a teacher's In structlon. It Is Just os necessary to have competent manager In the drawing room as It Is In the kitchen. House keeping Is a business, a profession, and the woman who knows how to manage and direct her household can accom pllsh far more with an Incompetent servant than an Indifferent, negligent woman can with an efficient one. The South Is the home of the negro, and so long as he remains In the South he will be our servant. A practical cooking school Is an Atlanta necessity, and it dbes seem that with so much progress and Atlanta spirit, something could be done to add more peace and comfort to the home. What does profit a woman to gain a nome Peachtree If she has to hear the kltch ens wall from morning tIH night, the beginning, a cooking school will be patronized by mothers and daughters and who knows to what It may lead ‘ future? As meifbershlp fees and dor tlons from grateful husbands Increa why not have a similar school for good, honest negroes who wish to learn something of domestic science from an Intelligent standpoint? The men of At lanta meet and discuss matters of pub He Interest, and the women should do likewise. Let them meet and discuss the mastering of conditions Instead of rebelltously submitting. Importing German girls and export Ing our servants may be done, but 1, Is not wise to await the day. Take the material that you have and make the best of'lt. the bride and grodm.
