PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
"I am a sword of Damascus steel;
. I’ll fight or die, come woe or weal.
I love the sound of the battle’s din,
And fame and glory I would win.
Aye to my master I’ll be true;
Now tell me, comrade, who are you 1”
“I am a blossom of low degree,
Kiss by the breeze from yonder sea;
Only a flower of no renown
' Growing alone on my native down,
To bless and cheer in my lowly way
The hearts of the men whom you would
slay.”
—William Edward Cameron.

Fashion’s mandates are pre-emptory.
This is particularly appreciative to
the edict that banishes the pompadour
and installs the bang in the place of
honor. Women are evading the issue*
The pompadour lias been moved back
as far As possible and a modified bang
adopted.
Thp result is shown by the Sunday
World artist. The sketch was taken
from the coiffure worn by one of the
most fashionable women in New York.
This mode is one which is at present
worn more than any other. It is really
the legitimate successor of the Gibson
coiffure. The effect sought after in
this slyle of is artistic
simplicity. /The tresses have the ap»
pearance of being thrown carelessly
back in luxurient waves. Appearances,
however, are very deceptive in this
case. Toe desired arrangement is ob
tained only by the most careful hair
dressing.
First the hiar must be well cleaned.
Clean, fluffy hair, free from every par
ticle of dirt and grease, is the first
essentia). After a thorough brushing
the hair is divided and the back por
tion is tied loosely. The front half is
curled in large waves and brushed into
a fluffy mass down over the face. All
of the little short ends are turned over
into tiny curls. A pompadour roll of
medium size is pinned on either side,
close to the ears, but does not extend
over the top of the head. Tbe hair is
then thrown loosely back, but is brush
ed carefully, so that it does not fall
apart in straggly locks, The roll pulls
forward over the face and over the ears,
concealing all but the tips.
The top hair is brushed straight
back, so that no suggestion of pompa
dour remains. The waves dispel any
appearence of flatness, and .there is a
gradual elevation as the crown of the
head is reached. Here the ends are
curled into little rings, which adjust
themselves in artistic disorder.
Little Chris cluster on either temple,
in gentle suggestion of the prescribed
bang. Tbe back hair is caught rather
low in soft little puffs end loops. Two
curls escape and fall to the nape of the
neck. Not a hairpiu is visiole, al
though a great number are required
to insure the tidiness and security of
the coiffure.
Hairdressers are showing something
that is a boon to the women with thin
hair. It is a puff that exactly matches
tbe hair. They come rolled in a hol
low puff and are made of long, straight
bair, stitched at one end to a wire.
The puff is unrolled and the wired end
pinned to a pompadour puff The
hair is then rolled over the pompadour
pad, pinned to madam’s head and her
own hair brushed over it. A beautiful
luxuriant roll is the result. No gap
ing trisses, which exhibit tbe ueiy
pad, disfigure the coiffure. This in
vention alro obviates the frizz’ng pro
cess which so many resort to in order
to secure the appearance of abundant
lock i

War Preparations. (
A new department of war was crea- i
ted yesterday in Washington, which
includes the states of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missrsip- ,
pi, Louisiana and Texas, with Atlanta
as beadquarters, and is known as De- ,
partment of the Gulf.
This new department is under com- i
maud of Gen. Graham. i
Atlanta was chosen as headquarters
on account ofets geographical position.
It was inaccessible to foreign troops |
besides being the best distributing |
point in the southern department. All |
supplies for all ports in the southern |
department will be distributed from (
Atlanta through the quartermaster’s
department there. 1
There is no cessation in active pre- -
parations for war at an early.date. i

WOMAN’S FOREIGN
I MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
BY' THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIX
A® DISTRICT.
’ , ——“
Ik. Young J. Aflen, Georgia’s most
distinguished foreign missionary to
China, will be in America shortly. He
was elected at the China Mission Con
ference the delegate to tbe general
conference in Baltimore in May next.
He will represent not only the China
Mission Conference, bnt the woman’s
work as it has been conducted in Chi
na. If possible, bis presence will be
secured at our annual meeting at For
syth during next month. (
Tbe report from the various auxili
ary and juvenile societies in the diss
trict are in for the last quarter for
1897. When consolidated, we think
they will show improvement for Griffin
district over past years. This is as it
should be. There is much “life in the
old land yet.”
The normal of man without conver
sion is out of sin. The sinful man or
woman has no love for Christian insti-
UaSiaus fees account* lor much
of the opposition to missionary work.
No true Christian can, from principle,
object to any proper form of Christian
work. Wickedness is batural; right
eousness is supernatural. Total de
pravity of human nature inclines man
to sin ; religion wages incessant war
upon all evil.
There is seemingly much objection
to tbe “new woman,” but there can
possibly be no reasonable objection to
the “new man.” The world properly
looks with suspicion upon any of wo
man’s departures from tbe moral and
social standards of old. Tbe “old
Adam” that is more or less apt to as
sert itself at times in everybody ought
to be put off entirely. Put on the
“new man"—even Christ Jesus—and
let Him guide you in the way of truth
and eternal life.
