At the home of her father. Dr. Eben
Hillyer, Mrs. Ethel Hillyer Harris enter
tained a choice company of literaiy and
musical people last evening at “A Night
in Bohemia” which was of a most unique
and pleasing character.
The entire affair was informal and the
guests were made to feel as if they had
indeed discovered that ideal realm of Bo
hemia where the formalities and conven
» tionalities of life in the stricter sense of
the word are dispensed with and people
are permitted to be natural for a little
space and to enjoy themselves like ration
al beings without restraint.
The decorations were in crimson the
colors of Bohemia and the favors were
hand-painted hearts of sunning design
the conception of the hostess who fash
ioned them with her own fair hands.
When the guests were gathered around
the table original poems written for the
occasion by Mr. Montgomery M. Folsom
were read “To the Graves in Bohemia,”
“To the Living but Absent Ones” and “To
the Present Company. Miss Jimmie Sel
man, in her most charming and effective
manner read the “Valedictory,” dedicated
to the memory of DuMaurier, Eugene
Field and Edgar William Nye. Miss
Eleanor Churchill Gibbs read poems “To
♦he Living but Absent Ones.” Frank L.
Stanton, Lucius Perry Hills and Vivien
Castane in a most touching manner and
was loudly applauded.
It fell to the lot of the hostts®, Mrs.
Ethel Hillyer Harris, to read the poems
addressed to Lollie Belle Wylie, Harry
Stillwell Edwards, and one written by
Vivien Castane to Mr. Folsom. Miss Gibbs
read an original poem to Mr. Folsom
which was a fine tribute to the work of
that writer and was in her best vein.
Then came she reading of the salutatory
including a kindly allusion to every one
present by Mr. Montgomery M. Folsom
and when called upon for another he read
“The Lady and the Rose,” complimenta
ry to the hostess and “The ruby red rose
that she wore in her hair.”
Dr. and Mrs. Eben Hillyer presided
over the hospitable board which was
supplied with all the snbstantials and del
icacies calculated to tempt, the palate of
a Bohemian, After the feast delicious
musical selections were rendered. Miss
Annie Griswold sang “One I Love.” that
quaint ballad, in her most touchingly
beautiful style. Mr. Charles Edward
Buchanan played an interanzzo, “Cava
liera Rusticana” and put into it all the
magical melody of his exquisite touch un
til the violin seemed to voice the very in
spiration of the music.
Prof. Charles A. Thompson played a
piano solo, “Tarantelle-Johnson” with
effect and the true artist was nevermore
charmingly displayed in his playing than
when he rendered that delicious bit of
harmony to the assembled Bohemians.
Miss Jimmie Selman was at her best,
as she always is on such occasions, and
her recitations added much to the delight
ful enjoyment of the evening. t The hand
painted hearts were distributed to the va
rious guests and appropriate ones sent to
the absentees and at last the merry Bo
hemians dispersed with many compli
ments to their hospitable entertainers.
Next week Miss Mary Berry will have
as her guests three of Georgia’s most
charming and popular young ladies, Miss
Janie Brawner, Miss Bessie Clarke
Brawner, of Griffin, and Miss Edith Car -
ver, of Atlanta.
The meeting of the Woman’s Club Fri
day was well attended and was one of the
most interesting that has been held by
that organization of the leading ladies
of Rome. Mrs. Christopher Rowell read
a very entertaining paper on “The Trou
badour” which was listened to most at
tentively by those preaent and heartily
enjoyed. The reading of the paper was
followed by a conversation on the times
-of “The Troubadours” which was very
entertaining.
-■ ••Topics of the Times” was the sub
ject of a conversation between Mrs.
H. C. Norton and Mrs. W. M. Gam
mon, and the discussion was thought

ble suggestions.
It was decided to begin some kin
dergarten work in connection with the
Emergency hospital, one of the ladles
connected with the hospital agreeing
to devote one afternoon out of everv

This work is likely to prove of great
benefit to the little cues deprived of
the opportunity of attending school,
and promises to be very successful.
The club decided to invite the
mothers in the city to attend the next
monthly meeting to hear the papers
10 be read on the training of children.

butions to the literature of the club.

The second recital of the pupils in
music and elocution was held in the par
lor of Shorter college, Friday evening
November 6th. The program consisting
of four instrumental members four recita"
tions and four vocal solos was of high ,
order and its selections varied in charac- i
ter. v
The first piano solo Chopin’s Bondo in
6 was played in a bright clear and spark- .
ling manner by Miss Louisießoss.
Miss Edna Dykes gave a Caprice by
Hummel with excellence oppression.
Miss Euginia Coffee calls forth pure ’
rich tones from any piano she touches t
and it was particularly noticable in her
rendering of one of Mendlesshon’s songs
without words.
Raff’s arrangement of Tannhauser for
piano was interpreted by Miss Ivylyn
Duggan in an artistic manner. She has
gained much in breadth and dignity of
style.
In reciting “Rip Van Winkle” Miss
Roberta Pegues showed a thorough
appreciation of the character of the j
old hero of the Catskills, Technically j
and spiritually she is a beautiful
reader. j
Miss Josephine Bennett gave a
realistic reading of “Lillian Bell’s
picture of a young woman’s “turning’ ’
into an old maid.
“The young man who waited” was
recited by Miss Katie O’Rear in such
a delightful manner as to make the
young ladies resolve to be ready next
time. Among other points of expres
sion the articulation of this piece de
serves special mention.
Miss Ethel Prince showed marked
ability in rapid and excited descrip
tion. Her selection was “How Old
Folks Won the Race.”
Miss Mattie Wilson’s voice has de
veloped and her style broadened. Her
expression is as much to be admired as
her fine execution.
Miss Ivylyn Duggan’s notes were pure
and true in the song dance of the
deazen fly.
Miss Prince sang a lullaby in an ex
ceedingly pleasing manner.
Miss Will Nell Lavender’s dramatic
voice was heard to good advantage in
“The Better Land. ”
These recitals occurring every fort
night are most interesting and irfi- (
proving. ’’
Yesterday evening’s Atlanta Journal
prints a double-column picture of Mrs:
Yaneey and says :
Mrs. Hamilton Yancey, of Rome,
whose counterfeit resemblance adorns
this page today, is oue of the most
charming of women. She is more than
that, too, in that she not only shines at
the dinner party which is made to
sparkle by her wit, but she shines also
at Cloverdale, the country home of her
self and honored husband, where ab
sorbed in the science of a dairy farm,
she manages to a nicety men, and cows
and pounds and pounds of butter. This,
with the seven children who rise up and
call her biassed, keeps her a busy
woman. Besides her wit and her
charm, Mrs. Yancey is generous aud
whole souled, possessing true kindness
of heart—a phrase which is often used
lightly, but which means a vast deal.

A Delightful Experience
One of the most delightful experiences
which the write up man of the Tri
bune has enjoyed recently was a visit
to the beautiful store of W. H. Steele
241 and 243 Broad street, on yesterday.
Captain Steele is one of those thought
ful and painstaking merchants who
makes a study of the needs and tastes
of the public in the selection of 1 is
stock aud he carries a line of goods that
cannot fail to please and attract ad s
criminating public.
His salesroom is thirty by one hun
dred and thirty feet and he occupies
three floors of the handsome and impos
ing building, all of which are filled
with a complete assortment of fine china
crockery,, iron stoneware, cut glass
ware, lamps, bisque figures, fancy
goods, stoves and housefurgishing goods
generally.
He has some bf the most beautiful
lamps ever seen ir Rome, which attract
the attention of pat>sjr9-by while on
display in his attractive show windows,
and his entire stock throughout is made
up of the newest and most stylish goods
to be found in his line of business.
In the way of stoves your special at
tention is attracted to rhe New Enter
prise, for woich he is exclusive agent,
and there are no better, more satisfac
tory and more serviceable articles to be
found in the market than these desira
ble accessories to the kitchen.
He also carries a full line of tinware,
wooden ware, brooms and soon, and his
prices are so very low as to seem almost
ridiculous when you recall what you
have been accustomed to paying for
such articles.

FOUND THE BULLET
A Suspender Buckle Saved the Lite o'
Will Mason
HE IS RESTING MUCH EASIER NOW
No Clue Y« tai to Who Did the Dastardly
Deed—The Police are on a 'cent aud
If Caught Will Cause Trouble.
Evidently the police smell a rat or
they have a clearly defined idea as to
who did the shooting of Will Mason
night before last, and if a Tribune re
porter has a nose for news at all they
know more than they will tell him for
publication. Drs. Frank Wynn and
T. M.Shaw, the physicians, again yes
terday probed for the bullet and at
last found it in the left pocket of his
pants.
The missile struck the wire buckle
of Mr. Mason’s sui p mdersand matjnd
it into the wound between the seventh
and eighth ribs on his left side, and
when they were removing the wound'
ed man’s clothing the suspenders were
pulled down, which drew the bullet
out with the buckle, and it fell into
the pocket. Mason was resting much
better last night, and he is now con
sidered on the road to rapid improve
ment.

Facts Cannot
Be Downed I
October the first we a ded to our
list of customers, a lady, who is re
pu'ed to be one of the b' sc cooks in
Rome and one who buys the best or
everything for her table. We lad
tried five y ears to get her account,
and though she has traded with us
only a month and tour da} 8, we feel
fully repaid for our five years work
for her trade, not so much for the
dollars and cents profit on her pur
chases but for her kind words. This
is what she said to us:—“l want to
tell you that lam delighted with
the goods bought of you. I have
kept house 15 years and don’t think
during that time, I never bought
any coffee that equals your Java and
Mocha blend in flavor and strength
and your flour makes the best bread
and pastry I every saw. It certain
ly must contain all the gluten there
was in the wheat or it would not be
so wholesome. ,
‘I have had nothing from you
that was not of best qvality. besides
when I send an order it is quickly
delivered.”
We would like for you to think
over this matter and if you think
over this matter and if you
want the best goods that money can
buy at same prices that you are
paying for goods that have prob
ably set on shelves for months and
and were not of good quality when
bought, we would be glad for you to
try our goods and we will prove all
that we have said are facts. We do
not give our trade to one or two
houses, but go to the largest man
ufactures and buv in large quanities
and thereby get the best prices,
which enables us to sell so cheap.
For imported goods and many other
lancy groceries we go into the largest
stores in the United Stales and se
lect the bargains from each one and
place them at your door, often times
fur less than fifty per cent ot the
groceries could buv them where they
have to buy in small quanities.
We believe we have the best pay
ing customers in Rome. During the
six years we have sold groceries
here we have not lost or accumu
lated S6OO in bad accounts. Our
customers do not have to pay a high
price for goods to make good losses
by bad accounts
We want your trade and if you
have watched our ads you know
that our prices are less than you
arc paying for-Jthe same class of
goods.
Yours truly,
