SOCIETY.
CHANGES IN WOMAN’S CLUB.
Resignation of President and Re
ports of Committees Received.
An interesting meeting, at which
much important business was trans
acted, was held yesterday afternoon at
the Woman’s chub. It was the first
of the season and the attendance was
large, much interest being shown in
the reports of the special committees
on work for the coming year.
Mrs. S. B. C. Morgan, president of
the club, tendered her resignation from
office, and it was received with unan
imous regret. Mrs. Morgan contem
plates beirjg absent from the city dur
ing most of the winter and, in view of
this fact, felt that it would be impos
sible to undertake the responsible .du
ties that devolve upon the president.
Her resignation is, felt to be a distinct
loss to thd club, dnd expressions of Te
gret were general and sincere. Mrs.
Morgan originated the idea of the or
ganization in Savannah, and through
her influence and efforts it uas estab
lished about a year ago. She was at
that time unanimously elected presi
dent, and has been since one of Us
most enthusiastic members and active
workers, planning much of the de
partmental work and directing its af
fairs most ably. In resigning yester
day afternoon, she made a graceful
and beautiful address that was greatly
appreciated.
Miss Madge Reid, the first vice pres
ident. will act in Mrs. Morgan's place
until the annual election in January,
when anew president will be appoint
ed.
Mrs. Barnum. chairman of the Cur
rent History Department, made a full
report on the work to be done by the
club this season in the study of Rus
sia.
In the absence of Miss Johnson,
chairman of the educational section,
Mrs. George J. Baldwin gave an out
line of the proposed course of lectures
to be presented to the club. Mr. Otis
Ashmore will be one of the speakers
this season. Another will be Miss Ma
rie Shetlock of London. England, a
noted educator, whose specialty is
story-telling for children. Miss Shet
lock has made a particular study of
Hans Christian Andersen, and is said
to relate his stories most beautifully.
She has lectured at Chautauqua, and
has an international reputation. An
other noted speaker whom it is hoped
to have in the future, is Prof. Edward
Howard Griggs. Prof. Griggs also
lectures a.t Chautauqua, and at most
of the large colleges, and Is said to be
a most delightful and Interesting
speaker. His popularity Is so great
that his engagements are made a year
ahead, and it is hardly possible that
he can be heard here before next win
ter.
In the absence of the chairmen, there
were no reports from the humanitarian
and the Entertainment Committee.
Miss Eugenia Johnston, who had
charge of the printing of the constitu
tion and by-laws, completed the work
during the summer, and the books were
exhibited yesterday at the meeting.
They are gotten up in very attractive
form, In the club colors, green and
white, with gold lettering.

DATING OLD H IIMTI RE.
In these days of rage for old-fash
ioned furniture, says Harper’s Bazaar,
when even kitchen chairs, because
“they are old,” are promoted to the
parlor, it has become a matter of in
terest to determine at least approxi
mately the dates of pieces. Of
course bought old furniture can only
be guessed at. When, however, old
furniture comes to one by inheritance,
there is usually some way of deter
mining when it was made, or at all
events when it was acquired by the
family. One clever woman to whom
came from various directions much
fine old mahogany, hit on an excellent
plant for indentifying each piece. She
had made tiny silver plates, and on
these were marked the dates and the
initials of those through whose hands
the articles had passed. These plates
were fastened on in some place quite
out of sight. For instance, she has
a very handsome two-leaf mahogany
table which formed part of the outfit
of her great-grandmother. The plate
on that reads:
• A. B. S. 1797.
R. S. M. 1821.
J. M. L. 1866.
H. L. P. 1902.
The last initial and date was of course
her own. The plate is on the under,
side of one of the leaves. The inventor
of this idek hopes that it will put an
end to family discussions as to who
was the original owner. “Someone
would come in and say, ‘Oh! I see
you have Great-Uncle Sam's sofa!’
To which you reply, ‘That was not
Uncle Sam’s; that was Aunt Sally's.'
‘No, my dear,’ avers the visitor, earn
estly. ’I remember quite well just
where that stood in Uncle Sam’s par
lor. It was covered with horse hair
then, and I always slipped off it. Oh
no! I could not possibly be mistaken
about that!’ Now,” adds the inven
tive woman —“now, all I have to do is
to pull the sofa out from the wall and
show my little plate with Its signifi
cant dates. I am saving my heirs
ever so many squabbles!”
TO CLEAN ENAMEL PAINT.
Enamel paint, either on furniture or
woodwork, can be cleaned more satis
factorily with whiting than with soap.
Wring a piece or flannel as dry as pos
sible from clear, warm water, dip into
the whiting and apply. Use the whit
ing liberally, rinse off well with clean
water and dry with a clean chamois
skin.
NEW WAY TO BOIL EGGS.
Directions for the “new way" of boil
ing eggs—lmmersing them In boiling
water set away from the fire —diffier as
to the length of time required for the
cooking. This Is because the time
does differ with the number of eggs
used, and also with the time of year.
In freezing weather, when the shells
are very cold, or when a dozen eggs or
so are used, the maximum amount of
time, which Is ten minutes, should be
given them. Under other conditions,
seven minutes will be found sufficient.
MADE AN ASSISTANT CLERK.
Miss Effle Anderson has been ap
pointed assistant money order clerk at
the postoffice. Several weeks ago Miss
Anderson stood an unusually good ex
amination and this probably accounts
for the early appointment. Miss Ander
son has a number of friends who will
be glad to learn of her appointment.
Gov. Terrell Starts Home.
Gov. Terrell, who was In the city
Monday and a part of yesterday as the
guest of Col. P. W. Meldrim, left yes

he went to attend the fair in progress
there. He will return to Atlanta this
morning.
AT THE THEATER
To-day, matinee and night, Claus
Bogel will be seen in Henrik Ibsen’s
widely discussed drama, “Ghosts.”
Fifty-four years ago, Henrik Ibsen ar
rived in Christiania, the capital city
of his native Norway, carrying with
him his first drama, “Catiline.” & his
torical play which was to serve as an
"open sesame” for the young pharma
ceutist who wanted to break into the
fields of literature. But nobody out
side of two or three faithful friends
cared for the youthful masterpiece. No
theatrical manager would stage it. No
publisher would print it. One of the
friends scraped together what little he
owned of worldly possessions and
printed the play at his own expense.
The edition comprised 250 copies. It
is not on record that any copy was
ever sold. One day Ibsen and his
friend were hungrier than usual. That
day they put the entire edition on a
hand cart and sold it to a grocer for a
few' dollars, to be used as wrapping
paper for herring and cheese.
That was the end of the first edition,
but not of "Catiline,” which since then,
nas been revived, reprinted, played,
translated and dissected for early
traces of the genius that later was
to be revealed. The play must, how
ever, have made some kind of a stir
even in those early days, for it at
tracted the attention of Ole Bull, who
had just then put his cherished vio
lin aside to found anew theater at
Bergen. At the end of his five-year
contract Ibsen received a call from
the Christiania Theater. In accepting
it, he changed places with Bjornson
who preceded him in the capital and
succeeded him at Bergen. Matinee
prices are: Orchestra, 75c and 50c;
balcony, adults. 50c: children under 12
years of age, 25c. At night: Orches

50c; gallery, 25c.
Baby Virena, the 8-year-old child ac
tress, who will be seen on Thursday
matinee and night, in “The Fatal
Wedding,” is probably the most won
derful child actress now before the
public.
She portrays the character of Jessie,
who In the play, is presented as the
helper and main support of her mother,
in their struggle against poverty and
sickness. Matinee prices are: Or
chestra, 50c; balcony, adults, 50c; chil
dren, 25c. At night: Orchestra, $1.00;
balcony, 75c and 50c; gallery, 25c.

founded with the moving pictures used

usually of such adverse and brief du
ration that they fall to interest at all,
while on the other hand the lecture at
tracts only a certain class of patrons,
(according to the subject), and diverts
the intellect only. Shepard's pictures
consist of a two hours’ continuous ex

L. J. Rodriguez will present A. W.
Pinero’s much talked about, much dis
cussed play. ‘‘lris.” with Jeanne Tow
ler in the stellar role, on next Monday,
matinee and night. As “The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray." Pinero’s earlier
work, In the picture of the retribution
that awaits the woman who has led
the life of a Paula Tanqueray and tries
to step out of it. “Iris” Is a picture of
how a good woman, but weak, Is
•drawn into that life.
“The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmlth.” an
other of Mr. Pinero’s plays, stands on
rather a different footing from either
of these, because apart from Its pic
ture of social conditions, it has the hu
man tragedy of the hopeless struggle
of a woman trying to hold the man
who no longer loves her. Moreover,
“Mrs. Ebbsmith" represents the de
struction of a fine, noble personality,
and has in It much of genuine tragedy.
“Iris,” upon the contrary. Is said to be
all mercilessly true—probably too true
in its living, breathing pictures of the
weak and the sordid. Beats on sale
Friday morning. Matinee prices are:
