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.

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.

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 sesses such histronic art as rendercit her characterization of Ruth Jordan perfect, and Mr. Lester Lonergan, in the character of Stephen Ghent, held his audience breathlessly attentive to bis every word.—Richmond Times Despatch.
