Pity ’tis, ’tis true.”—Nashville American. A' luncheon given by a college gfa'd ate recently to some of her class had several unique features. In the cen tre stood a Jerusalem candlestick,with seven branches having unshaded lights. On either side were vases of roses. At each plate stood a quaint Roman Unrip, suggestive of classical learning, its lighted wick floating In oil. The guest cards bore no names; Instead, they were mountsd photo* graphs taken at the college and each guest found the place designed for her by recognizing something In the pic ture appropriate to herself. A girl who specialized in chemistry found a pic ture of the laboratory; another who had been most frequently bidden to re port to the dean for misdemeanors paused before a print of the too famil iar room, and thus through the list. One can imagine the gayety of the lun cheon under tho circumstances. Odd lighting of the table is rather a study of the moment. At a very beautiful and elaborate luncheon of 1G covers there stood at each place a dainty china candlestick having a lighted pink candle as large as one's linger. The effect was good, and the candlesticks served as souvenirs. No other candles were used on the table. —Harper's Bazar. Comtc-i.se Loveau' de Chav anno, an American girl, lias written from her v n experiences a book, in which she advises other American women to avoid entering into alliances with for eign noblemen. The comtesso herself has had a most unfortunate experi ence. Bhe was Ouirda Benson, of Brooklyn, the daughter of Henry John Benson, a captain in the revenue ser vice, and a niece of John Benson, the California millionaire, and also of Archbishop Benson, of Canterbury. She went to school at Paris, and there she met the count, who married her, as she now knows, because of tiro mil lion dollars she inherited from her San Francisco uncle. The count himself was of a Splendid family and a mem ber of the family of the famous artist, Purvis de Ohavanne. When the count had spent all of her money he treated her shamefully. She left her unworthy spouse, and, shaking the dust of tho Faubourg do St. Germaine from her shoes, came to Philadelphia,where she has several cousins, who welcomed her gladly. Now she Ims written n book, which she says she will publish from a sense of duty, to warn other Ameri can girls lest they encounter a similar fate. The countess is tall, with golden liair and a lovely complexion. She is bright and witty and her book is cer tain to be interesting, especially as she has had much literary experience, hav ing written for Figaro and L'Etoile de Beige. No name has yet been decided upon for the forthcoming book. A correspondent writes charmingly of a St. Patrick's Day luncheon. One of the first things to meet the eyes of the guests when entering the dining room wore the words "Caede Milte Fallte,” printed in green letters on the wall opposite. This inscription, it may be reculled, appeared over the en trance to the Irish Village at the World’s Pair, the translation being “A Thousand Welcomes.'’ The table was round, with a green cover. In the cen tre of this table stood a silver dish filled with ferns; around it smilax was arranged on the cloth in such a way ns to form the three leaves of a sham rock, on each one of which rested a silver candlestick-with green candle and shade. At each place was a small card ornamented with a bunch of real shamrock. On this card were mounted clippings of Irish bulls and stories which were read during the reast. "After spending years wrestling with the problems of education, Friedrich Froebel, founder of the kindergarten, arrived at the conviction that the school never could be a success until the home performed its function ns an educational institution also,’’. write 9 Patterson Dußois, In the March La dies' Home Journal. ‘T’henceforth his dominant Interest was focused on the cradle rather than on the echoolhouse. He became the great apostle of the home, lid looked to woman as his natural ally, yet he was not oblivious to the father’s part in home-making. His proposition for a general educational union was ad dressed to fathers. He firmly believed, however, that Woman was to be the world’s great educational force. She was to regenerate the race. Yet he realized that this meant that she must suffer even as he had suffered. ‘Who ever will go with me,’ he said, ‘must undertake a great deal, must suffer ridicule and blame and let themselves bo burned or torn In pieces.’ He want ed a mother to be something more than a beloved mother. He says : ‘ln order to render tho command of Christ effective, education in tho family must first be reformed, otherwise there will be no solid foundation for subsequent education to stand on.” Every portion of our great country has its individual characteristics, and t,ho women of each section have their peculiar charm, native to themselves, and dissimilar to that of their neigh bors. Take -Philadelphia as an ex umple. New York and Philadelphia are not many hours apart, yet the wo men of the two cities are in many ways altogether different. The fair Philadelphian is much the more con servative of the two; she is less ready to adopt a novel fad. less hospitable to improved theories, and even in hor housewifery she is more staid and old fashioned than her sister who dwells under heaven-aspiring roofs and sees the Statue of Liberty every day. The New York contentedly packs and squeezes her family and her goods in to a narrow flat; the Philadelphian lives in a stately and ample house With a spacious back building attach ed, and her home lias front and back stairways, and beautifully appointed chambers for guests. She goes to mar ket herself, and her servant behind her carries a basket in which to bring home her provisions; her table is al ways sufficiently spread to allow for an extra plate and cup. Most grac ious and kindly is her welcome to the stranger within her gates, while in her courteous and exclusive inner circles the person presenting proper credentials is made free to the best with a charming and intimate cor diality, and a hospitaity which knows no bounds. Philadelphians are solid folk, caring less for mere show and more for reality than do the people of some more pretentious cities; and their town, their women, and their style of living retain certain conspi cuous American virtues, among which honesty, frugality and friendliness stand in the foremost rank.—Mar garet E. Sangster in Collier’s Weekly. A chronic boarder and his newly won wife started out together to hunt a boarding-house. The place he chose did not impress his wife particularly, but it in reality proved a gem of its class. The wife afterward asked her husband why he had picked it out, and his answer will doubtless interest and help many an unfortunate doom ed to this Sort of life: “Because,” he replied, "the landlady was scrupulously clean) because she wasn’t effusive; because she wasn’t landyiadißh; because the front steps, the vestibule and the hall were scru pulously neat; because there weren’t any kids with their stockings hanging down running about the front; be cause there was a sweet smell all over the house; because there were Swiss curtains in the basement windows, be cause there were no heads poked out of hallrooms to examine our make-up when we entered to make Inquires; because the landlady didn’t tell us that she put the very best in the mar ket on her table, nor tell us the prices she paid for eggs and chops, and steaks; because a whole lot of other things." The American girl who married OountPappenheim has sued her hus band for divorce. The count is an ex traordinary man and during the last performance of the "Passion Play” at Oberammergau ho created much com ment among visitors by. driving about town in a very smart London mall phaeton, accompanied by his wife. On these occasions he wore short, light color cloth breeches, embroidered on the sides and so short they stopped several lnchc9 above his knees* Ills THE -A/CTG-TXjjfa'.A- EEIEfc-AJLID J fcJLcl-l 4MS/ 1 a legs were bare for severSl Inches be? low the knees and his costume was further enhanced by one of the broad hats and bright belts the peasants of that locality wear. As the spring approaches there is a stronger demand than ever for tho Country Club the officers of the Cross Country Riding Club have teen trying to induce the people of Augusta to in terest themselves In, to the extent of building a club-house within conven ient riding, driving or wheeling dis tance from the city. A popular Augusta •fc'ornan talks charmingly of her experience at a country club of a neighboring city sho visited last summer. There was not an evening nor afternoon while slo ws s there, she said, that there were not two or three different! private par ties given at the country, club. Now, it would simply he a driving party that would take lunchr out for a gypsy tea to be served at the Cfub; again, a tennis party or a bowling party. On many afternoons, card-parties were given on the broad piazzas of the Club house, and again there would he after noon birycle parties personally con ducted by the women. At all times, she said, there was something inter esting going on, and the country club was the most Important social centre in the town. Why cannot Augusta do likewise? One of the marked novelties of the dramatic season in ~w Ybrk this win ter has been the recent appearance and Immediate success of Madame Sada Yacco, the Japanese actress. With her company, which Is headed by her husband, Otojiro Kawawaml, actor manager, playwright and politician,— she has, under the management oi| Mrs. Robert Osborne, been playing to large i and enthusiastic audiences of society men and women. Madame Yaeeo Is much lmpressel with our stage scenery and furnish ings and our electric lights: further more, she expresses the -he greatest enthusiasm for the American orchestra. Kite wish- s to substitute such music for that of Japan in the Kawakamt Theatre in Tokyo. W( stern music amazes her in its power if expression Us sorrow, pain or merriment. One can easily believe this after hearing the monotonous Japorll-sf'tVmu Mc which ac companies the acting. The greatest dif ference between Japanese and English speaking actresses she finds to be the necessity on the part of the former to learn singing nnd dancing—the accom paniments of the lower form of dra matic art here. Personally Madame Yacco represents the best type of Japanese beauty. In deed, she Is even said to hethe most beautiful woman in her country. She Is short, of course, but her hands and feet are not remarkably small. Her features are regular and her eyes are not as oblique as are most Japanese eyes. Hor manner is gracious and wo manly, her voice is alluring, and she •'possesses that Indefinable something ailed faseniation.—Harper’s Bazar.

Interesting Talk With ITrs. Harriet Gould Jeffries, Who Has Just Re=* turned From the Big Convention. The news that Meadow Garden Is shortly to come Into the possession of the Daughters of the American Rev olution Is welcome news indeed to all Augusta as well as to this patriotic or ganization. As everyone knows. Meadow Garden was once the large estate of George Walton, the Georgia signer of the Declaration of Independence, an es tate that extended from Broad street, out to the spot where the canal now has its basin. The residence that was used by the distinguished Augustan, who entertained within its portals such Immortals as George Washington and General Lafayette still stands as a monument to the Revolution, but a monument that stands sadly in need of repair. During the past few years, since a determined effort has been made to ob tain what is left of Meadow Garden as the property of the D. A. R.’s, we have several times published in these col umns the story of the historic house, together with proofs of the authentic ity of the facts asserted in regard to it. Just seven years ago, Mrs. Harriet Gould Jeffries, a prominent and Influ ential members of the chapter original ly organized In Augusta, conceived the plan of the D. A. R.’s purchasing and restoring and preserving this old est landmark in Augusta. From that day to this she has been untiring in her efforts to bring the plan to frui tion. She has had very little encour agement and a great deal of opposi tion from many who did not in the least realize the importance of the Walton home as a memorial of which our city has just cause to be proud. Entirely undaunted, however, she still worked on, and today sees the desired culmination about to be accomplish ed. As Augustans did not See fit to con tribute the sums necessary for the pur chase of the historic spot, the plan was conceived of asking each D. A. R. in the entire Union to contribute 10 cents apiece towards the desired amount. This was in 1898. Only a few chapters responded. Had all done so, Meadow' Garden would long ago have been purchased. For five years, Mrs. Jf ffries—who has since joining the chapter, been Au gusta’s delegate to the National Con gress held annually in Washington, D. C. —has either personally made an ap peal to the Congress in behalf of Meadow Garden or has Induced some one else to do so. Last year, she was especially untiring in her efforts, and believed them successful when tho con gress voted a certain sum to the desir ed purchase. There wa3, however, strong opposition to tho plan from cer tain northern D. A. H.’s, who thought that everything in the general treas ury should be kept In Washington. There was a delay in forwarding the money expected In Augusta, and final ly the opposition managed, on a tech nicality, to decline to meet the obliga tion, claiming—their claim being back ed by legal authority—that the phrase used, “we recommend an appropria tion,” did not stand for “we appro priate.” Anyone less untiring and less sincere than Mrs. Jeffries would have been ut terly discouraged, but not so this daughter of revolutionary generals. At some personal inconvenience, she at tended the congress again this year, and succeeded In obtaining an actual appropriation—not a promise of one— of $2,000 from the National Congress. Mrs. Jeffries, when Interviewed upon her recent return from Washington, modestly disclaimed the exclusive distinction of having obtained the ap propriation, declaring that It was largely due to the efforts of ma 'y pa triotic women all over the Union, neglecting to mention the fact already known to the Interviewer, that these women from other states had first became interested in the Walton home though the con tents of personal letters Mrs. Jeffries had written, seven years ago, to all the chapter regents of Georgia and to all the state regents of the entire Union.

T. jj Much of the credit for the success of the undertaking Mrs. Jeffries claims is due the appeals sent the Congress from each of the ten Georgia chapters, stat ing Meadow Garden’s claims to dis tinction, and urging its purchase and preservation by the national society. These chapters are, two in Atlanta, one in Augusta, one in Columbus, one in Rome, one in Savannah, one in Covington, one in Macon, one In Thom asville, one in Griffin, and one in Wash ington. The appropriation for the actual pur chase of Meadow Garden does not by any means cover all the necessary ex penses. The restoration of the house will cost a great deal of money, and this will have to be supplied by the Augusta chapter, who will also have to bear the expense of keeping It up. It Is believed that the various chap ters all over the Union will assist in the furnishing. The first contribution is a gavel presented the Augusta chapter through Mrs. Jeffries by Mrs. E. H. Allen of the Mary Draper chap ter of Boston. This is made of wood from the Old North Church where the signal lantern for Paul Revere’s ride was hung by Howland. A handsome piece of furniture has been promised by the Flewellyn chap ter of Columbus and another by the Rome chapter, both of historic inter* est. Doubtless, other contributions equal ly as valuable will soon be made, and( the house will, upon its restoration, be richly and appropriately furnished. ON AN EGG SHELL f *» - A Girl Wrote Her Name on an Egg and Found a Lover. Fort Oodge, la., March 10.—This city has become one of the centres of the egg and poultry business for the West. During the shipping Beason in the summer months larger forces of girls are employed in handling eggs taken from pickling vats in the egg house, preparatory to shipment. One of the girls selected a large, smooth egg, and. in a moment of day dreaming wrotii her name and address upon it with an indelible pencil. It wa3 placed in i, case with 277 others and shipped t New York, where it found its way ti the warehouse of an exporter and wa one of the first shipments of America: eggs made to Cuba. Weeks slipped Into months, and th lady forgot her Vopianti i dreams of summer days and eggshells), but the maiden’s message was work-i ing out her destiny. Early in Decerns ber she received a letter which bord the postmark of Guines, Cuba. On th 4 upper right hand corner of the enve lope were the words “official business ’’ These Were carefully cancelled and In the regulation place was a maroon colored stamp. On Opening it skd found the following letter Inclosed; United States Signal Corps, Telegraph Office. Guines, Cuba, Dec. 14, 1899.—Miss Lizzie Gilday, Fort Dodge, la.: I am sure you had no idea into whose hands and to what distant lands the egg up on which you wrote your name would go. It came with a large shipment from the United States, and was pur chased by a Cuban merchant here who being unable to read English, brought it to me for translation. I would be very glad to have you answer this let ter, as I am curious to know the one who adopted so novel a method of correspondence. I have a camera and have had a snap shot taken of myself with the egg In my hand. If you care for one of the pictures let me hear from you. Very truly, Charles Percy H. Smith.. This letter was promptly answered, with a request for the picture, which arrived in due time, with another let ter, in which Mr. Smith gave a more detailed personal account of himself.
