THE DEAD POET.
When I grow old, they’ll come to me
and say:
Did you then know him in that dis
tant day,
Did you speak with him, touch his
hand, observe
The proud eyes’ Are, soft voice, and
light lips curve?
And I shall answer: This man was
my friend.
Call to my memory, add, improve
amend,
And count up all the meetings that
we had,
And note his good, and touch upon
his bad.
When I grow older and more gar
rulous,
I shall discourse on the dead poet
thus:
1 said to him ... he ansewerd unto
me . . .
He dined with me one night in
Trinity . . .
I supped with him in King's. , . .
Ah, pitiful
The twisted memories of an ancient
fool
And sweet the silence of a young man
dead!
Now far in Lemnos sleeps that golden
head,
Unchanged, serene, forever young and
strong,
Lifted above the chances that be
long ./ ... -
To us who live, for he shall not grow
old;
Magical stories, true and wondrous
tales,
As of a god whose virtue never fails,
Whose limbs shall never waste, eyes
never fall,
And whose clear brain shall not be
dimmed at all.

linen, hand-hemmed. Such a waist
never ceases to mark excellent taste
The other waist is also among the
last words on this sartorial matter.
The back and sleeves are of white
linen lawn; the front and collar and
cuffs are of white tucked muslin
bought by the yard. The collar is
straight piece of tucking slightly
curved to fit the band in front, and
may be turned up on the “second
day” to form the foundation and turn
over points of a black satin ribbon
stock and bow. Tucking by the yard
may also be bought in various other

embroidery made up of dots in round

Northern Visitors to
New Orleans Amazed!
They
Could Not Understand Drinking
Coffee at Midnight.
Dark
Northern visitors cannot understand rich, dark French Market Coffee—
the wonderful old secret blend—being taken even at midfiight—by New
Orleans people.
For this coffee is noted for its rich, dark color—and its amply wonder
ful aroma. Yet it is so soothing and delicious that it is drank universally at
almost all hours by everyone.
But this wonderful Old Secret
Blend has been a jealously guarded
secret for nearly a hundred years.
Only since the building of the
French MarketMills has it been possible
to ship this coffee out of New Orleans.
A little booklet about the Old French
Market will be sent free on request. Write
for it today—but meanwhile remember that
you can now buy the genuine French Market
Coffee at your grocers.

MATERIALS FOR SUMMER
SEASON FANTASTIC
Atlanta, Ga.—There are some ma
terials for the summer season that are
nothing short of fantastic. One can
imagine certain dashing young things
in, well, three-inch blocked goods, for
example. There are those huge pat
terns in Cumberland homespuns for
coats, voile for dresses, linen and
cotton for sport skirts. They call
them “building blocks,” but many is
the child that has never had build
ing blocks as large as these. They
may be in any color, bagenta, yellow,
black, with squares of contrasting
white, j “Giant stripes are six inches
wide and exhibit themselves on any
cotton fabric.
Perhaps milady has long envied her
husband his dark mixtures in suits
that for years woman’s tailors have
passed by. Perhaps, milady, too, has
sneaked into a man’s tailoring estab
lishment and tried to buy eight yards
of a good looking tweed for a suit for
herself, having rejected all the “fan
cies” that the department stores have
prepared so proudly. But those de
sires and humiliations are mere
memories now, for “mannish” is the
very word the Atlanta salesman uses
most of these days.
Or
Now
for the Summer
Clothes!
The changing season, the desire for
something new, fresh and inviting will
find ready acceptance m our showing of
snappy exclusion light weight fabrics.
Our business for the past week is a
demonstration of the appreciation of
good well tailored summer clothing.

Reliable Medicine I nr
Distressing BroncHal Coughs
Hoarseness, Tickling Throat,
Severe Coughing, All Go
When Foley’s Honey
and Tar Is Used.
Bronchitis too often leaves a severe
racking cough that weakens the system
and paves the way for such grave dis
eases as pleurisy and pneumonia. Some
times there is a nervous hacking, worse
on arising and at nightfall, that is espe
cially wearing and should by all means
bo stopped promptly. Foley’s Honey
and Tar is exactly suited to these condi
tions. It directly affects the mucous
lining of the throat, clearing it at once of
hoarseness, removing the tickling phlegm
and stopping the severe racking cough.
Coughs usually grow worse at night
fall and prevent the ouiet rest so neces
sary to one weakened by a cold.
Chas. T. Miller, Ed. Cannclton, Ind.,
Enquirer, writes: “For three years I
was troubled with bronchial affections,
H. R.
was hoarse and sometimes could hardly
speak louder than a whisper. Had to
entirely give up singing, and coughed
constantly from sore throat day and
night. I took Foley’s Honey and Tar
and got relief. This spring the trouble
arose again. I bought a bottle, took 5ve
doses, and have the remainder in the
bottle on my desk now, to take if an
other attack develops. It is great for
bronchial colds and coughs.

RECEPTION LAST EVENING.
The reception given last evening at
the Rectory by Grand Chancellor and
Mrs. Troy Beatty and Past Grand
Chancellor and Mrs. Nickerson was
a brilliant one.
The house was prettily decorated
with the Pythian colors, red, yellow,
and blue, the color scheme being car
ried out with flowers, bunting, and
incandescant lights.
Directly over the front steps was
a Pythian badge formed of lights.
The hall was decorated with bunting
and vases of red and yellow roses.
The decorations in the dining room
were especially effective. The table
was covered with a cluny piece, In

MISS NETTIE WEBB’S RE
CITAL AT tUCY COBB
If one should seriously inquire
where are the snows of yesteryear,”
he might possibly find them tucked
away in the dim distance with the old-
time commencements; although he
perhaps would clearly recall that old-
time commencements were never sug
gestive of anything so cool as snow—
quite the contrary.
At any rate, both are gone, and
gone for good. Commencement now
is served—like a refined meal—one
course at a time, and that merely to
play with the appetite, not to satiate
it. Still the long mornings that reach
ed into afternoon, the longer even
ings which passed into midnight, were
not merely endured in that dim past,
but embraced, for there were no
morning pictures and distractions
were few. A girl in her many-flounc
ed graduating dress was a creature
second only in beauty and tender in
terest to a bride; essa)^—“composi
tions” wo called them—and elocu
tionary efforts were Berious things
worthy of respectful attention; so
also were haocalaureate- addresses
and musical programs, especially such
as included William Tell and Invita
tion to the Dance.
Now instead of a formal boquet of
many colors, the interested friend, or
pleasantly excited parent is presented
with a loosely tied cluster of pansies,
or two or three fragrant roses, and
the slighter program stirs the same
tender emotions as did the longer one,
and the sweet girl graduate is
sweet as ever.
This is a long prelude to the remark
that Lucy Cobb is opening her com
mencement season this year with sev
eral brief programs. Miss Natalie
Bocock’s charming musical recital of
Monday evening being followed on
Wednesday afternoon by the recital
of Miss Nettie Webb, a pupil in the
department of Expression; and this
in turn to be succeeded on Thursday
evening by an open air play of un
usual interest.
Miss Webb’s program included His
Japanese Teacher, given with much fi
delity to the graceful little Japanese
who won the American’s heart; The
Lie, a tender sketch by Annie Hamil
ton Donnell; Kipling’s Road to Man
dalay, with its fascinating swing and
eastern mystery; and a dramatic cut
ting from The Music Master. She
gave all with simplicity, and sincerity,
and the effectiveness that belongs to
real talent, and her teacher, Miss
Moore, must have felt gratified at the
result of her training. Two delight
fully rendered piano selections, Valse
Romantique, played by Miss Omar
Short, and Espandaub by Miss Myr
tle Harrell, were pleasant interludes
to the recitations and listened to with
genuine appreciation.
The quiet afternoon hour, the at
tentive audience, the stage, decorated
with great taste—palms, baskets of
daisies, sprays of running roses, ail'd
enough, but not too many, wax lights
forming a felicitous combination—the
youthful ushers, sweetly tracked and
happy-faced school-mates of the chief
performers, and the three last them
selves, dainty as flowers and as un
affected—were really very poetic and
lovely, with such a prelude, the rest
of commencement at this school en
deared to Athens by so many fond
memories, should strike with pre
cision and success the chords, ever
beautiful and appealing of youthful
aspiration and endeavor.
mooted suffrage question of today.
But in that period of stress and sec
tional strife, woman suffrage was all
unthought of.
A ruse it was, on the part of one
high in authority, that made Miss
Sally Tompkins of Virginia an officer
of the army and kept her in office un
til the close of the war. A ruse where
in the end seemed to amply justify
the means, and whereby a hospital
was preserved to Richmond that was
noted for the return of more men to
their commands than any other hos
pital in that historic city or its en
virons.
Because of her good work—and
while she is yet living—Richmond
has set a tablet to the memory of
Captain Sally Tompkins. She bears
the distinction, therefore, of being the
only woman in this country ever
known to have been commissioned an
army officer, and of having a tablet
in her honor for her own eyes to rest
upon.
The tablet marks the site of the
Robertsan Hospital, on the corner of
Third and Main streets in Richmond,
and reads:
“On this site stood
The Robertson Hospital,
in charge of
Captain Sally L. Tompkins, C. S. A.,
from 1862 to 1865.
Placed by Confederate Memorial
Literary Society,
A. D. 1910.”

MRS. PORTER’S TEA.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. E. F.
Porter entertained at a beautiful tea
in honor of Miss Katie Dearing and
Mrs. Wilkinson, of Atlanta.
All of the rooms were a-bloom with
spring flowers, making an appropriate
setting for the daintily gowned wo
men.
The den was in yellow—Japanese
daisies, Mack-eyed Susans- and flags
being the flowers used. The living
room was filled with daisies and pink
sweetpeas. Gilded baskets holding
these flowers were over the mantel,
while darker shades of the peas and
sweet Williams were banked on tables
and cabinets.
Pink- was used in the dining room.
On the buffet were vases of these
