ALBERT BELLI.
In Charge as Steward at Fol
som’s.
Mr. Albert Belli, the steward at the
Folsom Restaurant Company, Is one
of the smoothest in the business. He
has been pulling oft some wonderful
stunts there of late; one, for example,
was the late banquet of the Atlanta
bankers.
The bill offered by Mr. Belli for
that occasion consisted of the follow
ing menu: Grape fruit, Maraschino;
Queen olives, Pin money pickles. Puree

of tomato aux croutons. Boned Span
ish mackerel a la Folsom. Pommes en
Bordure. Tenderloin of beef larded
with mushrooms; stuffed bell peppers;
June peas. Tomato surprise. Neapol-
tan slices; assrted cake. Cream cheese,
toasted saltines. Coffee. Bankers’
special, October 31,1911.
Mr. Belli came to the Folsom Com
pany some two years ago from Cincin
nati, where he was steward at
Hotel and became so attached to At
lanta he had to take unto himself one
of Atlanta’s fair belles and since his
marriage he has been making his home
at the Hotel Folsom, where he will be
glad to see his friends at any time.
Mr. Belli is also a member of the In
ternational Stewards’ Association, an
Eagle and an all-around club man.
“SATISFACTORY BUT NOT
SURPRISING.”
It is said to be “satisfactory but not
surprising” when a statistician, other
wise unemployed, reports that one out
of every 57 women who marry after
taking a college degree get into the
divorce courts. To suggest the de
ceptiveness of such statistical satis
faction, it can be learned from an
other statistician with nothing better
to do that in the State of Washington,
which he ranks first in divorces, the
annual rate ia 613 decrees of divorce
as an average, with about one person
divorced annually in every 100 of the
“married population.” This is sup
posed to be surprising but not satis
factory. But by taking the average
death rate it would be easy to calcu
late that in Washington and else
where, all concerned, including all
married and unmarried women with
degrees of Doctor of Philosophy, have
as good an average chance to die un
divorced now as they ever had in the
history ofcivilization.
No doubt the most important benefit
of educated mtnd is the habit of
postponing final conclusions, statis
tical and otherwise. Further consid
eration, postponing finality, is said to
be the habit and the test of educated
mind. In simple, unstatistical lan
guage, the man or the woman who is
really educated becomes more consid
erate as a result of learning to con
sider consequences to all concerned.
It would be preposterous to question
the right of women to such education
or the certainty of its results of im
provement for all concerned, in or
out of matrimony. If there is a fine
question, demanding consideration, it
is of improving the quality of life for
all human beings. Except as men and
women learn to do that, they learn
nothing more than belongs to the life
of the original cave dweller. His his
tory, “satisfactory but not surprising,”
shows that he was an amiable bar
barian who improved as he grew more
considerate. And so cap we.—Ex

GEN. MANAGER BEACHAM.
There are few young men in Atlanta
that are more prominent and favorably
known than Mr. V. T. Beacham, new
general manager Atlanta Taxi-Cab
Company.
Mr. Beacham was for a number of
years connected with the government
and later with the Southern Railway

position he now hold with the above
company.
The Taxi-Cab Company is to be
congratulated upon the selection of
such a capable gentleman to handle
its business, and we know the public
will be benefited also.

BOTH HAD ABILITY.
A man left his umbrella in the stand
in a hotel, with a card bearing the
following inscription atttached to it:
“This umbrella belongs to a man who
can deal a blow of two hundred and
fifty pounds weight. I shall be back
in ten minutes.”
On returning to seek his property
he found in its place thus inscribed:
“This card was left here by a man
who can run twelve miles an hour.
I shall not be back.”
