NEW STANDARD OF BEAUTY.
The reign of the old time beauty L
at an end. says the New York Situ
X; w rt has brought out a new stye
of beauty. On ihe walls of the I’ari-
Snlon this year the tact was emphasiz
ed that regular features and delicate
skin no longer e nstitute the ideal
htauty from an artist's standpoint.
! A new era ins set in. The new
I beauty must have intelligence, per
senility and above all elegance as
j well as good looks,
j The so-called ugly girls need no-
think they are out of the race, for a
little irregularity of feature Is desir
able nowadays, especially if it indi
cates character anil individuality. But
with that character there must ha
smartness, chic and the grace that is
thoroughly feminine.
This change in the fashion cf beau
ty was clearly foreshadowed a dozen
vears ago when a new stage type took
the place of the buxom beauties who
bad been in favor for a generation.
Nowadays mere plumpness for noth
ing, and the frail, anaemic female
foijn is what managers demand and
au Xenres rave over.
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT CLUBS.
People throughout the Fnited
States are beginning to realize the
large, amount of good that arises front
\ having civic improvement clubs
When these were first organized the
chief purpose was to brtiutify un
sightly places. hut the scope has
broadened until up-to-date civic clubs
endeavor to look after the improve
ment. of sanitary conditions as well.
This is the natural growth of such
an organization and with its enlarg
ed purposes it must of necessity be-
come a recognized factor in the up
lift of the country. For too many
years every other thing .was subser
vient to utility, but now people are
beginning to realize that aesthetics
count for much and that the best
work and the most can be accomplish
ed amid pleasant surroundings nowa
days. So commercially it is a dis
tinct advantage to do anything possi
ble to make a place attractive.
Athens needs a large, an enthusias
tic civic Improvement club; one.hav
ing for members women from every
walk in life. It should not be com
posed of women in the leisure class
only, for while these may accomplish
much, they cannot do what those in
other circles can,
There is at present a section of the
Athens Woman's Club which has done
much for civic improvement and it is'
planning still greater things, but this
little handful cf women, enthusiastic
though they lie, cannot hope to ae-
omplish what a large body could.
Since all of the women's organiza
tions in Alliens are to form a city
federation, it would seem a good plan
to have a civic improvement club,
not merely a Inanclt of the Woman's
Club, lint a separate and distinct so
rb ty. The present efficient chair
man xif this section. Mrs. Frances
l-ong Taylor, should lie elected presi
dent of the new club, an] under her
administration untold good would re-
stili. Of course without the coopera
tion of the city officials tile efforts of
the women w< ubl lie in a measure
vain, but it is hardly likely that, the
present mayor and council would do
anything to retard the aesthetic im
provement of Athens.
Let's organize a civic improvement
dull whose members shall strive to
make Athens the City Beautiful, the
City Healthful of Georgia.
MISSION STUDY CLUB.
Thursday miming at the home oi
Mrs. D. D. Quilliiu ten ladies prom
incut in all work connected with the
First Methodist church met and or
ganized a Mission Study Class.
The (dial bilge of the City" by Dr
Jiisj.iii Strong was selected as the

soon as this is finished some other
equally well known will be taken lip
After the holidays the meeting-
will be held with Mrs. Qullian at half
past ten each W< dnesday morning

SUGGESTIONS.
A little notice always runs at the
top of ihe social column inviting ev
eiv woman in tip. city to become a
contributor to ibis page. It is foi
wetm n and would lie much more in-
I tt resting to them if they took more
I interest in it. uiul showed this by con
tributing. Articles are always wel
come and suggestions appreciated.
There are ill Athens some twelve or
fourteen Women's societies and a
I brief resume of the meetings of each
I of these would prove interesting to
readers of The Banner and helpful
to each organization. It would b
well for each of these clubs to have
some one person elected whose duty
it should be to furnish the report to
the paper.
.It some times happens that notice:
of meetings are telephoned down too
late for publication, or too late
be given the proper location. This
could be avoided bv giving the notice
before six o'clock in the afternoon, as
after this hour space cn the s.ocial
page may not be available.
CHRISTMAS BASKETS.
If there be any time in the year
when we should share things with
others less fortunate than ourselves
it is the Christmas season. Then we
should stop for a moment and con
sider the hundreds of good things
that have been ours and our gratitude
for them should be shown by giving
to others.
The members of Chapter F. Em
manuel Guild are arranging to send
Christmas baskets to the poor of this
city and to every one is offered t'je
privilege of contributing. . Food, toys,
clothing, or money Intended for these
baskets mav be sent to Mrs. Camp
bell. Milledg? avenue unjr, time this
week. ”■

“THE GREAT DIVIDE."
To criticise the performance of "The
Great Divide" at the Acattemy la^
night would l>e sheer imiiertinence
for it seemed there was not a single
gesture, a single Intonation of the
voice which could have been improv-
ffefrttjlMlii T TIie~3bmiaat includes-
Lester Lonergan. who starred In "If i
\Y; iv King." and Miss Adelaide No
wak, who was Richard Mansfield'-
leading woman, compared favorably
in every particular with the origins,
company of "The G rest I Divide." an-:
the stage settings used last tiiglii
were accurate .even in tbe most min
ute detail, so that, the performance
witnessed by the large and fashiona
ble audience at the A cadi my was an
artistic production of exquisite fin
ish.
The play, strong and virile, may well
be termed, as it has been termed, thi
typical American drama, for it ma:
velously depicts the struggle for su
premacy between a woman represent
ing the conservatism and convention
ality of the East and a bold product
cf the Rocky mountains in all bis free
dom and natural desires. And through
the whole play there runs a deep
pathos which lrresistably grasps alio
holds the mind.
FOR MR. AND MRS.
CHARLES S. D’BOSE.
On Thursday evening Mrs. Mary
W. Camak complimented Mr. and Mrs
Charles S. DuBose with a lovely re
ception.
Between the hours of eight and elev
en about , an hundred and fifty guests
among the young married set call
ed.
Mrs. Camak's home is one of the
ante-bellum homes which are so par
Mcularly associated with Athens and
like other old homes here is noted
for the lovely entertainments and
the charming' 'hospitality always
shown by the amiable hostess.
On this occasion it was particular
ly attractive in its decorations.
Handsome paints placed about the hall
and parlors, vases of beautiful brides
maid roses, etc., were used in the par
lor.
On the dining table was an exqui
site ecver of clttny lace. The center-
piece was a howl of rich red liberty
roses. Silver candelabra w-ere plac
ed on the four corners of the table
with red shades. Dainty candies and
cakes were served with the lee cours
es. V .' .
Receiving with"'Mrs. Camak were
Mrs. L. D. DuBose, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles S. DuBose. Miss Louise Dtt-
Bose served apollinaris fruit tea.
Mrs. Camak wore a lovely black
mousseline satin with white lace.
Her ornaments were diamonds and
pearls.
■Mrs. L. D. DuBose was handsome in
black brocade satin with duchess lace
and diamonds.
Mrs. Charles S. DnBose’s Parisian
dresden silk gown, trimmed In gold
laco and pearls, was most becoming to
her brunette beauty.
SCHILDKRET HUNGARIAN
ORCHESTRA.
On Wednesday evening the fourth
attraction of the Y. M. C. A. Lyceum
course, the famous Schilkret Hunga
rian Orchestra will render their beau
tiful program of sweetest music.
This group of finished artists is
probably the best of the seven num
bers in the course. A popular Michi
gan daily paper has the followng no
tice:
The enlarged auditorium of the Fer
ris Institute, seating 1,000 persons,
was nearly filled last night with a hril-
liant audience which cante to hear the
famous Schildkert Hungarian Orches-
And the audience was not dis-
appointed. for the orchestra made R
isipular hit. The program was, for
the most part, composed of the old
familiar melodics and selections,
which nearly every one has learned in
bis childhood. Tteir rendition, la
the full orchestra of eight pieces, with
all the color and variations which
Schildkret is capable of. filled the au
dience with delight and enthusiasm.
Each number was encored anil re-en
cored many times. The entertainment
closed with the playing of "America,'
tbe orchestra and audience standing.
Admission and reserved seat 75c;
admssion only 50c.
Seats will be on sale from Mondav
at the Y. M. C. A.
BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS.
Christianity wants nothing so muen
in the world as sunny people, and the
old are hungrier for love than for
bread. The oil of joy is very cheap
and if you can help the i>oor on with
a garment of praise, it will be bet
ter for them than blankets.
Some people contrive to get hoi 1
of the prickly side of everything, to
run up against all the sharp corners
and disagreeable things. Half the
strength spent in grumbling would of-
teii set things right. No otic finds
tile world quite as they would like i -
to lie.
Tbe power to do gre.it tilings gin
orally arises from a willingness to i| ( .
small tilings.
We are to be rewarded, not only for
work done, but for tile burdens borne,
and 1 am not sure but that tip
brightest rewards will be for those
who have borne burdens without mur
muring.
Why don't you creale around you
an atmosphere of happiness and help
fulness, so that all who come in touen
with you may be made better. Is not
this possible?—McCall’s.
Miss Adelaide Ntjiwak, why is a
woman of many personaf'chenns, pos
