The Southern Woman.
After the lapse of a auatter of a
century, that gracious growth ha*
reached an appreciable *ixe and beau
ty; through the feaiful ordeal of suf
fering unknown to the casual observ
er or reader, the Southern woman has
emerged Into the nobler conditions of
her present existence. The softness and
ease of her former 1"e, Its assured pro
tection and the tender deference that
surrounded It, were, perhaps, u trifle
enervating to character; the affection*
flourished at the expense of tho intel
lect; the delight of ‘'being" was mote
present than the necessity of "doing";
the whole nature ran to vine, secure
of always finding a strong support up
on which to cling and beautify.
But with home and friends and
wealth swept away by one tremendous
cataclysm, the lovely, clinging, creature
was left either to trail helplessly upon
the ground or perish there, or to devel
op new fibre, new roots, new powers
of self-support; and the heroic treat
ment has borne its ftuit, the terrible
struggle has given birth to the child
of promise: perhaps it is but a survival
o" the fittest: perhaps more have per
ished in the ordeal than tve cere to
count; but it is past, and w a look about
us with pride at some of its otmoug
results. The fittest are indeed "vary

Crosse* {From the German Empress
For 35 Years of Service.
Think of It! It Is not so very un
common a thing in Germany for a set
vant girl to remain in the employ of
one family 'or forty y«ar«. In such
cases. When the fortieth year is reach
ed, the girl gets a golden cross from
Empress Augusta Victoria.
Last year twelve dozens of these
crosses were distributed. Only one went
to a Berlin domestic. It speaks as well
for the mistress as for the maid, when
the latter turns forty yeats In her em
ploy.
Curtains of Summer Silks.
"What shall I do with all my sum
mer silks?" asked a young girl the
other day, who had not had a practical
education.
"Do what I am doing," she was an
swered by her more practical compan
ion. "Make curtains for your room.'
And so she proceeded to explain to
her friend that all her old summer
silks .and even those of her mother
and sister, had been ripped up. cleaned
and pressed, and laid out on the bed
for inspection.
With an eye to color and effect, she
chose out the ones which went well to
gether and tho shades and tints tvblch
blondeu. These she cut in strips, broad
and narrow, as her material would al
low, sewed them together In lengths
aooordtr.g to the length of her curtains.
Over each aeam, with bright-colored
embroidery silk, she has worked In

A MAN F. OH MEXICO.
Side Splitting Farce Presented Last
Evening
Willie Cotllpr appeared in "The Man
front Mexico" at at the Grand last eve
ning before a laige and representative
audience of Augusta theatre goers. He
filled the role to perfection and waa
given good support by the entire com
pany, making one of the best shows
seen In the city for many days.
The comedy IS full of wit and humor,
and the dry way in which Collier made
hia side-splitting remarks Taught the
house ftom start to finish.
The manager stated last evening that
the same company will probably play
in August* again this season, and if
th y do they will certainly have a
house rately equalled.
A show as good aH "The Man from
Mexico,” deserves good support, and we
await the return of the company with
pleasure.

A graceful carriage of the bead god

which no woman can afford to over
