J. B. 8.
The Capital City has been the pleasant
meeting place ot many conventions,
club organizations, private and public,
but none were ever more royally wel
comed than the Woman’s Press Club
which held its second annual session in
Atlanta last Monday.
This club is strictly a ubsincss insti
tution, founded with tho loftiest pur
poses, free from all disturbing private
Interests, devoted solely to the highest
ideals of social and literary advancement
of the women of the state who have
adopted journalism as their profession.
Upward, onward and true to the line'
is the inspiring watch word of the Wom
en's Press Club of Georgia, and it is
hoped that these ennobling sentiments
will abide with the club forever.
The first meeting was held in the com
mittee rooms at the Kimball House on
Monday afternoon.
The president, Mrs. E. G. Byington,
of the Columbus Evening Ledger, pre
sided with her usual grace and dignity,
passing upon all questions of business
with thorough understanding and in a
manner acceptable to ail.
Mrs. Byington is an accomplished par
liamentarian, a woman ot wonderful ca
pabilities, and the the club Is especially
fortunate in having so admirable a pre
siding officer.
Tho vice-president, Mrs. Loilie Belle
Wylie, of the Society, is a competent as
sistant officer. She is too, a woman
heartily interested In journalism; has by
her energy and ability stamped the
Society one of the most popular journals
in Atlanta. She is a social favorite, and
contributed largely to the pleasure of
the visiting club members.
Miss Minnie Quinn as secretary and
treasurer discharges her duties perfectly.
She is one of Atlanta's most talented
women, having recently won, over many
competitors, the medal for tholrcst essay
on Atlanta. Miss Quinn's essay was
written in blank verse and was pro
nounced by competent critics a literary
gem.
Several Important business meetings
were held during the session, the con-
stitutlon and by-laws were read and dis
cussed by the many bright intellectual
women who had gathered from through-
out the state to perfect an organization
for the mutual benefit of their sex.
1 be present officers will serve for an
other year, the unanimous doclslon be
ing that biennial elections suited the
club’s best interests.
Of the many earnest, energetic and
brilliant women who make up the Press
Clnb of Georgia, probably there is none
so widely known os Mrs. Maud Andrews
Ohl, the versatile and talented society
editress of the Atlanta Constitution.
“She hat written Unei that loap with
laughter, and words that were wet with
tears.”
Mrs. Ohl is truly a most gifted wo
man, possessing the rarest charms of
mind and person, and leavea the imprest
of a generous sympathetic nature upon
her arttatte work.
Nowhere dost this superior woman
journalist ablne more resplendent than
In her own lovely home where the In
sists upon spending many happy hours
each day. She is an accomplished hostess
and dispenses true southern hospitality
as beautifully as the writes Mrs. Ohl la
a typical southern wamsn and deserves
to be honored In Atlanta as abe Is, for
she now wears robes of glory woven In
the loom of her own genius.
HissCorinne Stocker, the clever young
society editress of the Atlanta Journal
la another young writer who has a
bright future. She la also an accom
plished elocutionist, and has groat dra
matic talent. Miss Stacker is meotiog
with marked success in her journalistic
work; and Is highly appreciated by the
Journal as a most competent moraber
of the staff.
Mrs. Harry Brown is contlbuting her
talents and engergy to the Southern Al
liance Parmer, and much of the success
of that paper is due to the faithful and
efficient discharge of her many duties on
the staff.
She l* associate editor with her hus
band, and is capable of performing any
duty that arises In the newspaper bus
iness.
Each one of the clnb members Is en
gaged worthily in literary work, and de
serves special mention, which would
cheerfully be given, but the largely In
creased membership forbids this
pleasure.
The charter members of the club are
as foltowrs: Preslpent, Mrs. E. T. By
ington, of the Coiambus Ledger; vice-
president, Un. Loilie Belle Wylie, of
Society; secretary and treasurer, Miss
Minnie Quinn, of the Columbus Ledger;

Ethel HIByec Harris, Miss Hetew Dortch,
Mrs. G. C. Dury, Miss Eva Carr, Miss

The social ovation tendered the women
'of the press club by the literati and cul
tivated people of Atlanta was most flat
tering every possible arrangomont for
pleasuro and comfort being made for the
visitors, and every available moment
from business was devoted to some de
lightful dinner party or evening recep
tion.
Mrs. Belle Kendrick Abbott's recep
tion to the club from 8 to 8 o'clock Tues
day ovenlng at her handsome Peachtree
home, was one of marked eleganoe and
brilliancy. ;
Col and Mrs. Abbott received and en
tertained their guests most charmingly.
The assemblage ;a'heied in their beau
tifully decorated drawing rooms was a
distinguished one. It was a mingling of
the present and the past, the literary
lights of yesterday and to-day, com
muning, awakening pleasant memories
that can never he forgotten. The ven
erable Dr. W. J. Scott, Hon. Ifonry W.
Hilliard, Col. I. W. Avery, and many
other distinguished writers who will
leave their names imperishable upon
the brightest pages of Georgia's his
tory, graced Mrs. Abbott's reception,
which was a most enjoyable entertain
ment, entirely devoid of all formality.
Delicious refreshments were daintily
solved from a table laden with roses
and lilies. Mrs. Abbott was assisted
in receiving by Mrs. Alex Smith, Miss
Kendrick, Misses Flora and Kate
Abbott. All were loth to leave so con
genial a company, but the time was
limited, for at 8 o’clock anothor recep
tion was in order. From Mrs. Abbott’s
the ladies went to the reception tender
ed them by Gov. and Mrs. Northern
This event was a pronounced success
in every respect, and brought forth a
large assemblage of the literary and
society pcoplo of Atlanta. Carriagea
after carriage rolled up to the governor’s
mansion, and from them emerged
visions of beauty and loveliness on the
arms of gallantry and manlinoss. Tho
handsome mansion presented a magnifi
cent appearance; the floral decorations
were superb, and could only have boon
fashioned by the hand of an artist.
Gov. Northen, Mrs. Northcn and Miss
Xorthen received their guests with
marked case and perfect grace. The
presentation of so many strangers, each
to the other, though a pleasant social
task is no less a difficult one to perform
well. Georgia’s distinguished governor
has done honor to himself in every
position he ever occupied, and as an
accomplished host he deserves to be
crowned knight of the legion.
A most attractive musical and literary
program had been arranged, and filled
in the intervals during the evenings
round of many pleasures.
Miss Eula Ketner favored the company
with one of her artistic recitations. She
is a queenly looking woman, strikingly
like Mary Anderson. Her beautiful
reoltation waa a realization of perfeet
dramatlo excellence, and was received
with the smiling approval and pro
nounced applause of all,present
To Governor Northen, his charming
wife, accomplished daughter and their
large company of elegant guests and
friends. The Woman's Press Club of
Georgia feels very grateful for a most
delightful evening, one from which the
most pleasant memories will ever be
recalled.
Mrs. Loilie Belle Wylie and Mrs.
Williams took the lsdies on a delightful
drive Wednesday morning taking in the
many parka and beautiful boulevards of
Atlanta.
The gentlemen's driving olnb extend
ed the courtesies of their unique club
boose at Piedmont park where a rest
waa taken, light refresbmenta were hos
pitably served,after wbleb the drive con
tinued until the time for many of the
members to take the outgoing traina
home.
Thus ended the second annual scaaion
of the Woman's Press Club of Georgia,
an organization that has come to stay.
The next meeting will be held sec
ond Wednesday In June, place of meet
ing to be determined by the president
snd executive committee sometime dur
ing the year. M. Louisa Mybick.

New firm; new goods; tbe bestof ev-

Andiiewh A Cakteb’s.
It does not matter how yon spell
it—it sounds tbe Same whether
you say Cosh or Kash, and in
these times it works wonders. We
know. whereof we speak, for lo, in
these last few days our buyer has
returned from the northern mar
kets and we know what wonders
Kash has worked there, and you
fcball know what wonders Kash
shall work here. This will apply
to small every day trifles as well
as to largo specialties.
Do you use matches? Don’t
you pay 6 cents for two boxes
containing two hundred each?
Well, Butler & Berry sell the same
matches at 1 cent a box. Think
of matches at 1 cent a box 1
Maybe you don’t use clothes
pins, but maybe when you remem
ber that other stores charge ten
cents a dozen fpr them, and you
find out here that Butler & Berry
sell clothespins for 1 cent a dozen,
you will realize that the aforesaid
Butler & Berry are “Cheap Folks”
all the time in every particular.
Now we have been quietly pre
paring for you and the Berry sea
son - wo oan show you another
wonder that Kash has worked.
Think of beautiful berry dishes—as
clear as crystal—os bright as dia
mond—not cut glass of course—
but for three oents each—you have
priced tbe same for .60c. a set-
three cents each at Butler <fc
Berry’s.
There's a new wrinkle in our
stock in the shape of a pretty
plain white ironstone china wash-
stand set—10 pieces for $2.70.
There are about 2 dozen sets left
—and if you want one, why you
are welcome to the ehoioe. There
isn’t any money in the deal for us
—but then you know its a dandy
advertisement. $2.70 for an iron
stone china 10 pieoe wash-stand
set—of course that means at Butler

When you come down town
again, look in at the additional
counter room we have made—
Glassware, Ornaments of all kinds

did yon evor price a Student’s
Lamp at any other store?—asked
you $5.00 for one, didn’t they?
Wo hnvo been getting $4.50 at the
Artesian Corner for them our
selves. We have them now—wo
have lots of thorn—tho fact was—
wo had to buy lots of them—but
this lot is to sell for $3.00—think
