THE KINDLY POSTCARD.
It seemed to me that Uncle Eben’s
place at Barker’s Flat
Was not the handsomest estate that I
was ever at;
A few old scraggy bushes, a tumble-
down old shed,
A house that needed painting, a barn
that once was red.
But, sakes! the colored post-cards do
show that place up. fine.
The bushes are a vivid green, the
house Just seems to shine,
And distance lends enchantment to
the shed and barn behind,
And underneath the picture, this par
agraph I find:
"The picturesque, ancestral home of
Ebenezer Platt,
One of the many charming spots in
lovely Barker's Flat.”
—Grace McKinstry In Woman's
Home Companion for February.
IN HONOR OF GLEE CLUB.
After the performance at the Lyric
Monday evening the members of the
•Athens Glee Club and their friends
who had come over from Athens to
witness the show, were tendered a re-
ception and luncheon by Miss Tavia
Mathews at her home on Candler
street. Assisting Miss Mathews in
entertaining her guests were a num
ber of Winders' young social set.
Though informal, the occasion was
one of rare enjoyment and a pretty
linale to a well rendered program by
ar. excellent set of young men—Ex
change.
MRS. WALTER BISHOP'S TEA
The afternoon tea with which Mrs.
Walter Bishop entertained her friends
yesterday between four and six was
one of the most delightful events of
the social calendar of 1911. About
one hundred friends called during the
afternoon. The honorecs were Mrs.
Clark Jack, sister of Mrs. Bishop, and
lira. Harry Goodrich, both of Augus
ta.
efforts of Miss Rutherford that such
opportunities for education along the
lines of association work have been
brought to our Gul States. She has
been most generous both with her
money and her efforts and during her
chairmanship we are seeing the
Young Women's Christian Associa
tion in the Gulf States begin to take
its proper place as the promoter of
right relations and conditions among
young women.
THE MODERN SWEATER.
"Now that sweaters have become a
staple article of dress and are cus
tom made.” says Helen Marvin In
Woman's Home Companion for Feb
ruary, “big improvements have de
veloped in their cut (if one may so
speak of garments built up of stitch
es! and consequently they have a
grace and shapeliness unknown to
sweaters of former seasons.
"In the new sweaters any stretching
of the shoulder scam is avoided by a
length of strong tape, one end of
which is sewed to the armhole, the
other end to the edge of the neck.
This tape simply forces the shoulder
to keep its shape.
"Seams are no longer overhanded
together with the ynrn of which the
sweater is made, but are closely-
stitched with cotton or silk which
will never stretch. An excellent idea
is to bind the seams with an extra
strong cotton tape that is machine-
stitched in place.”
THE LATEST SKIRT
"At present,” says Woman's Home
Companion for February, "It is the
skin upon which all eyes are center
ed. The hobble skirt now belongs, of
course, to the long, long ago. Is its
successor, the very scant, very plain,
very straight skirt going to soon fol
low In its foot steps? That is the big
vital question of the moment. One
thing at least Is apparent. Skirts are
losing their plainness. They are grow
ing a bit wider, too, but as to their

Y. W. C. A. INSTITUTE IN AU
GUSTA.
The services of four national secre
taries of the Young Women’s Chris
tian Association have been secured
by the Gulf States Committee of that
organization to conduct a series of
institutes in Georgia for the purpose
of education along the lines of social
and religious work. The Am of these
institutes was held in Augusta. Ga.
February Arst and second. The sched
ule of addresses given was superior
to any ever given in our southern as
sociation.
Dr. Anna S. Brown's discussion of
“Health at a Social Factor,” and of
the part the Young Women's Chris
tian Association Is doing to bring
about proper health conditions, and
to educate the public In regard to
present conditions, revealed to her au
dience vast undeveloped Aelds of
work to be studied, as well as encur-
aging progress already made along
these lines.
Miss Mary Thomas, educational di
rector, presented an original and prac
tical way the position of the Young
Women's Christian Association as an
educational force, supplementary to
all other educational forces in the
city.
The strong address of the entiro
program was that of Miss Mary
liushnell, of Hartford Theological
Seminary, who spoke on “The Dyna
mic Force of Religion in the Young
Women's Christian Association.”
•Ample opportunity was given for
questions on the part of members.
These were discussed from the stand
point of southern association work
and much practical information was
gained by those present. The result
cannot but be a more extensive and
Intensive Interest in this great move
ment which is one of the foremost
expositors of the fact that true reli
gion is the saving of our fellow crea
tures to their best living.
Of the Athens associations those
who gained the lieneAtg of this great
opportunity were Mrs. F. A. Lips-
tomb, ex-president of the Athens as
sociation: Miss Mary A. Stennls,
general secretary, Miss Willie Fagan,
Vcneral secretary of the State Nor
mal association, and Miss Mildred
Rutherford, chairman of the Gulf

THE WHOLE LAW.
Love "is" the law's fulfilling:
This does not mean
That love "results" in keeping law
Inviolate,
That love commands obedience,
Compels the acquiescent act,
Or actuates to right.
Impels to service.
Or even love "Inspires;”
But love "is” verily, primarily
Itself fulfillment of all law;
Love breathes—love does not make
you breathe.
But "lives" In you:
Then "duty" is not: try to say that
word
And smilingly 'tis "pleasure":
Then "obligation's" "privilege."
And “willingness” is "zest.”
