There were very few Southern officers in
the assembly and they enjoyed a unique
experience because of the fact that, not
. i'J-.s .Hiding the w inter season, the
weather was so mild that the orchestra
idayei throughout the evening under the
. ilars on the lawn, and the house was
cpeii as though it were summer time.
While the officers were dressed in all the
glory of gold lace and tpaillettes, the la
!;<■■' were brilliantly costumed. Mrs. Speer
wore a liamisome gown of black mousse
aine de soie. Mists Marion Speer was
dressed becomingly in white organdy
trimmed with black lace. Miss Sallie
Speer was very handsome in a yellow sat
in toilet. Miss Lulie Speer wore a dainty
costume of white organdy trimmed in
lack velvet and jet. Miss Kohlsaat was
much admired in an elegant white satin
gown. Mrs. Cecil Morgan wore blue silk.
Miss Lila Cabaniss was in rose colored
satin and chiffon, and Miss Crutchfield in
white organdy. One of the most charm
ing women present was Mrs. W. W. Gor
don. wife of General Gordon; she was
r legantly attired in lavender silk with
cal lace trimmings.

He Fills His Bag at the . Mc-
Evov Book & Stationerv
Company.
Perhaps the most popular stores in Ma
con these holiday times is that of the Mc-
Evoy-Sanders Stationery Company on
('berry street and Second street. The store
is replete with all sorts of suggestions for
Christmas presents for old and young.
Thousands of pretty things of every kind’
and description. The buying for the
Christmas trade has been care
fully done with a full knowledge of
what the people of .Macon’ want. It could
of course ibe very difficult to enumerate
all the gifts that are on sale in these two
stores. The fact is. however, that in
choice presentation book** no stock in the
state could be more complete.
Toys for children from the cheapest to
the most expensive, enough of them to fill
all the little stockings in the city.
In this selection of toys are the latest
things in this line —and all of the novel
ties.
A beautiful selection of writing paper,
the latest designs and the latest and swell
est fashions.
In addition to this will be foutpl many
hundred other suggestions for Christmas
gifts that should liot be missed.
The McEvoy Book and Stationery Com
pany on Cherry and Second streets is the
I warehouse from which Santa Claus draws
I his store of gifts as he passes through
I Macon on Christmas Eve. It is here that
he refills his bag when it is empty.

Signature /V y //
of
The Queen’s Crucifix.
The crucifix with which Queen Vic
toria’s name is associated has its place in
the convent of the Grande Chartreuse.
This may seem strange to the uninitiated,
but it is true. It is a beautiful silver
crucifix and has its place among the con
vent’s treasures. It was given by the
queen to a humble Carthusian monk of
English nationality when her majesty
visited the Grande Chartreuse some years
ago. She conversed with this monk in his
cell, the conversation turning upon serious
matters.
The royal visit at an end, the monk
saluted his sovereign, and the» queen of
England left the cell. Shortly afterward
, the general of the Carthusians called to
him, the religious in question and handed
him a beautiful silver crucifix. It was
Queen Victoria’s gift to the English monk
in remembrance of her visit to his cell.
“Our rule forbids tw to possess such
things,” said the superior, “but keep this
beautiful crucifix by you fora time at any
rate.”
The monk withdrew and returned al
most immediately, handing his superior
the crucifix with a piece of paper having
the following words written upon it,
“Regina dedir, regula abstulit, sit nomen
Domini benedictuni” ("The queen gave
it, the rule withdraws it. n ay the name
j of the Lord be i raised”). —Catholic Tinies.
Blaine'a Tombstone.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: ‘'Although against
the expressed wishes of James G. Blaine,
his last resting place in Oak Hill cemetery
has been marked by a simple marble shaft.
“In 1890. when Walker Blaine died, the
magnetic statesman from Maine went to
this cemetery with a friend to select a site
for the burial, and in the center of the lot
chosen the Plumed Knight noticed a
gnarled and twisted hickory tree, which
was blasted and dead. As Blaine looked
at the tree he remarked to hi? friend that
it aptly represented his blasted and disap
pointed life and requested that nothing
should mark his grave but the dead tree.
His wishes in the matter were respected,
and for several years it was the only mark
by which the last resting* place of the
great statesman could be distinguished.
“A few months ago the tree was blown
down during a cyclone, and Mrs. Blaine
decided to have the grave suitably marked
and selected a monumenj exactly like the
one over Walker Blaine’s tomb. It is a
marble shaft about eight feet- high, with
out any inscription except the name of Mr.
Blaine and the date of his birth and
death.”
