A DIFFERENCE OF HEADS. hm
It’s strange to mo the way they make <h
the daily papers now
Throe agate lines to prayer meeting,
three columns to a row;
The good that's done is noticed in
a paragraph or two,
A whole front page is not enough for
crimes the wicked do.
A struggling little cripple dies, has
worn his life away.
Heroically working thro the weary,
trying day;
Supporting mother, sisters, uncom
plaining. brave and true—
He’s barely crowded in the “List of
Dead"—a line or two.
But let some monster aged ten most
horribly stay-
ins mother and a page is black with
headlines every day,
He's photographed and magnified an.l
written up galore;
His very viciousness lias made him
worth two pages more.
Perhaps the day will come some time
when reading folks will greet
The paper full of news that's good,
the columns all repleto
With records of the deeds that live
and help and sweeten life—
And minimize the yellow streaks of
reeking rot and strife.

MR. AND MRS. D'BOSE
THE HONOREES.
One of the most elaborate and beau
tiful receptions ever given in Ath
ens was the one givtn Thursday even
ing by Mrs. L. Derrell DuP.ose In
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Du
Bose, who have just returned from
thedr bridal tour.
The DuBcse home is one of the
handsomest in the city, being an ante
bellum house, pure colonial in archi
tecture. No other kind tends itself
so well to decoration, and for the re
ception Thursday the spacious hall,
parlors, library and dining-room, the
decoration's were very artistic. They
were rather simple, accentuating the
elegance of the house and its furnish
lngs.
Autumn leaves were used in the li
brary, Jardinieres being filled with
varying shades of red and tawny
These colors were most effective
against the warm red of the walls.
In the dining-room the color scheme
was green and white. The round ta
ble was covered with a lunch cloth of-
cluny, and scattered over it were sil
ver baskeis filled with green and
white balls of spun candy. Compotes
of green held the heart-shaped mints.
The center-piece was lovely. Rising
from a mound of maidenhair ferns
were long-stemmed bride roses. The
electrolier was veiled in asparagus
fern end the lights shown from the
big hearts of white roses.
Green and pink was used in the
parlors. At each window a graceful
spray of Southern smllax trailed over
; on it four candlesticks of qualm
ign. These held pink tapers.
Punch was served in the library and
dining-room. The bowls were banked
with grain-fruit, oranges and tanger
ines, and placed among these, a pleas
ing color contrast, were glossy orange
leaves.
Mrs. James S. Wood, of Savannah.
Mrs. Camak, Mrs. William F. Brad
shaw, Jr., and Miss Florence Hodg
son assisted Mrs. DuBose, and Mr.
and Mrs. Charles S. DuBose in receiv
ing.
Misses Marlon Gross, Erin O'neal.
Camilla McWhorter, Annie Carlton.
Ilosina Thomas and- Mary and Sarah
Gerdine presided at the punch howls
and poured coffee.
Mrs. DuBose was handsome in black
Spanish lace, made over white taf
feta. trimmed with silver. Site wore
a necklace of exquisite cameos.
Mrs. Charles S. DuBose wore her
wedding gown, an exquisite creation
of majestic satin, embroidered in
pearls and trimmed in rose point.
Mrs. Wood wore a handsome toi
lette of black lace, having touches of
gold on the corsage.
Mrs. Camnk's gown was of black
satin mousseline, with trimmings of
duchess lace and jet.

caramel, placed on sale.
Another booth much admired wa:
Octobro. This was in white and yel
low pumpkins and other tilings sym
bolic of Hallowe'en, being effectively
list'd. On three white pedestals were
three jack o’lanterns made of large
pumpkins and strings of rosy apples
were festooned between them.
December had a Christmas tree,
and a very beautiful one it was witli
its tinsel, and bright colored orna
ments. The dressed dolls were at this
booth, and the large number sold
was very gratifying to tlie commit
tee having this in charge.
Other 1 tooths were ornamented with
vari-colored paper flowers, with Lucy
Cobh and Georgia pennants, with
vines and Japanese lanterns, with red
and green Christmas decorations, with
I bunting in the national colors, flags
land fireworks.
in the afternoon the dozen or more
girls who acted as waitresses* were
"just too sweet for anything" in their
dainty littje lace trimmed aprons
and caps with jaunty pink bows.
While the exact amount cleared is
not known it will be a little over two
hundred and - fifty dollars, it will be
qually divided between the Young
Men's Christian Association and the
Young Women's Christian Association

HANDKERCHIEFS FOR
CHRI8TMAS PRESENTS.
One of the easiest Christmas gifts
to select and in most cases the most
acceptable is a dainty handkerchief;
for no one, man or woman, can have
too many handkerchiefs in these days
of careless laundresses, before whom
such little accessories of the toilet
seem to melt away and disappear like
snow before the sun. At least they
cannot be found when the wasli is re
turned, which amounts to the same
thing, though it may not sound so po
etical.
The new handkerchief has taken on
elaborate details. It is no longer mere
ly a bit of fine white linen, edged with
narrow lace occasionally, but a dis
tinctly fashionable, if frivolous, bit of
finery, and it will go far towards mak
ing the fashionable woman a joy for
ever. if ever there was a revelation
in things feminine, there is this year
in this heretofore insignificant trifle.
These conceits appear in pinks,
blues, lavenders, yellows and grays.
And they are round, square and zig-
zaz in shape, the latter variety edged
very fluffily in lace, like the uneven
flounce of a. petticoat. White, edged
in colors or black, will still lie in good
taste, but it. Is not so new as the more
intricate designs.
The well dressed woman has hand
kerchiefs to match her gowns. Fin”
white Irish linen, narrowly hemmed
and embroideried in daisies in their
natural colors, is one of the pret
tiest styles in embroideried handker-
liiefs.
Pink, lavender or blue linen, cm
liroidered in white, makes a pretty ef
feet, which will be largely adopted.
The little white silk handkeichiefs
so much in vogue several years ago,
have returned, but. they are far mor
pretentious. Fleurs-de-lis, either ii
white or colors, tine insertions, pal
pink rosebuds or tiny blue forget-me
uots add much to them. It is even su
nested that a fine edging of velvet
will finish this sort, of handkerchief
but so far nothing perishable and im
practicable lias made its appearance
in the shops.
An edd and- not altogether pleas
ing design ill handkerchiefs is foun
in brown and white striped goods. It
is made of nine tiny squares joined
together by fine faggoting into one
larger square.
Scalloped handkirciiiefs are very
fashionable, and a great many of them
are seen in the shops.
The popularity of the colored hand
erchlef is unquestionably on the in
crease, in fact, all kind-s of fane:
handkerchiefs are more used this year
than they ever were. Corded effects.
In stripes, but particularly in plaids,
re very smart.
Tile little quarter sized handker-
biefs. which were brought out in
small quantities last season for wo
men to wear in thfir breast pockets,
have made quite a hit, and will be
featured again for Christmas.
Laco-trimmed handkerchiefs will
ret with their usual sale.
As has already been said, as the sea
son advances the tendency toward col
ors in handkerchiefs seems to grow
stronger, and it is now thought that
a great many of these will he sold
in men's as well as women's handker-
hiefs. The old-time idea of wearing
a handkerchief in the outside breast
pocket has been revived to such an ex
tent that it is no longer a fad of the
xtreme dressers, hut is indulged in
by a great majority of the better
class of men.
While in the old days this handker
chief was, as a rule, white, particu
larly in the eastern part of the coun
try. it is now almost Invariably a col
ored effect. This applies to all over
the country. A wide choice of bor
ders is shown, and includes some
tremely new and pretty effects. Among
those tiie corded Ideas are very high
ly regarded, and will unquestionably
meet with groat success. These cord
od effects are shown not only In the
high-grade goods, but in the medium
and lower priced handkerchi
well.

IN HONOR OF THE
LUCY COBB GIRLS
Friday afternoon two pretty Infor
mal receptions were given in fionot
of the boarders at Lucy Cobb Inst I
tute, by Misses Brumby and Gerdine,
who will be co-principals there next
year.
The young ladies of the Junior.
Senior, and Elective B classes were
entertained at the home of Miss
Brumby, while the members of th
lower classes spent a delightful hour
with Miss Gerdine.
A salad course and ices were serv
ed.
Not so very many years ago teach
ing was the only profession a woman
ever, entered, but now almost every
one is open to her. Law, medicine,
engineering, architecture, even grave
digging, has attratced women, but
there is one place woman cannot go.
She is barred from laboring in the
mines by a resolution recently adopt
ed at the international miners’ con
gress. It is to the credit of the Brit
ish delegates that they voted for the
resolution, not only because "female
labor is cheap, but because the digni
ty of woman wae degraded by such
work.
The most remarkablo trades union
of which we have heard is one in the
south of France formed by beggars
for the suppression of unqualified
practice. A meeting of street singers
and of the lame, the halt and the blind
who extract voluntary contributions
from the public was held not long
ago at Marseilles, a one-legged man
being in the chair, for the purpose
of organizing themselves into a body
strong enough to resist the encroach
ments of pretenders. The association
was duly constituted with constitution
and by-laws. It was decided that on
ly French subjects with genuine mal
formations or sores co-uld lie admit
ted to membership.—Exchange.
