■etary. presiding.
The large attendance, excellent busl-
L 0 i; conduct, the splenotd program and
fcrodous hospitality, from opening to
[lose, attest the unusual ability of the
fchalrman: and the home patronage and
[o-operatlon of other denominations In

tnd the loan of their talents, but their
[nor,’ substantial aid In the spread of
khelr sumptuous noon-day lunches each
■ About a dozen Atlanta ladles
H the fortunate guests on Friday’s
Program and It was a day long to be
emembered.
The following were present, voting It
, red-letter day: Mrs. C. E. Troutman.
.Tr.s. Hnrvle Jordan, West End; Mrs.
i'renary. Mrs. Rambeau and Mrs. Hor-
.re Smith. First church; Dr. Elizabeth
■Broach. St. Johns, most of whom took
irt in the debate—"Resolved. That It
Right to Pay Tithes Now." Bible
debate though It was, as arranged by
Mrs. I.uke Johnson, many original and
fnlrtli-provoklng points were Intro
duced. The affirmative won. which
linnnuncement was followed by a soul,
Ctlrring talk by Mrs. Morris, of Mil,
Eedgerllle.
1 one point of new and vital Interest
advanced at the conference was that of
h-needed and eventually coming
olldntlon of departments 4n the
■mission work of the church, as pre-
Isemcil by Dr. Elizabeth Broach In her
■talk. "Our young People," her Idea be-
llng to turn young people’s mission so-
(clctlcH. home and foreign, through the
Epuorth League, as departments and
mi-ting through women's mission so
cieties. Last, but not least, two rare
[features of Interest attaching to this oc
casion were the welcome address by
Mary E Bryan, and the able ad-
s by Rev. Dr. Belk. of Atlanta, a
■lining tlose, n "Feast of Reason and a
■Flow of Soul." A DELEGATE
WOMEN AS WORKERS.
The greatest trouble about the num.
tiers of w omen who have been forced
nut Into the world to earn'their own
living Is—that they consider the me-
Idlutn through which they provide
■themselves with the necessities of life
press It upon others that they nro
much too goad-for the work they are
compelled to do.
Tltero couldn’t be a more snobbish
way of looking nt life than this. No
"caUlng" la high unleas Its Incumbent
give* It dignify. No one has ever yet
made a success of Ills work'who looked
down upon It No one who undertakes
to All any position, bo It that of boot
black or the president of the United
Statu, In a half-hearted, disloyal, I'm.
too-good-for-lt fashion la going to
make that position and himself any
thing but a laughing stock among men.
The girl who sella ribbons over a
counter may be, and doubtless often Is,
□ s good as tho girl who buys them,
but It Is her flrst and whole business
t<. sell those ribbons as cleverly as she
can and not to Impress her social pres,
tige upon their purchaser. No doubt
the woman on the outelde of the coun
ter la tiresome, and oftentimes thought
less. And there Is the girl’s chance to
show, not only that Bhe Is a sales
“lady” but that she dignifies her post
tion by knowing what she Is about.
Sometimes she takes advantage of It
and sends her customer away satisfied
with her purchase and the shop. Oft
entimes she brooks away reluctantly
from conversation with one of her tom-
punlons. manifests just as small
show of Interest In the customer as she
possibly can without being called
account for It, and proves, by every
word and act, that her position os shop
girl Is one that Is too far above her
powers and capabilities for her ever
to fill It acceptably or successfully.
To bo a good saleswoman requires
genuine tulent. A girl must have by
heart a Hat of the articles she has to
sell, sho must know the best ways to
sell these articles, and she must have
some knowledge of human nature to
know how to appeal to her customers
It requires tact, diplomacy and skill,
and yet the girl behind the counter la
sometimes willing to show her Igno
rance of alt these matters and her Ul-
breeding as wall, by being directly rude
to the person whose only fault Is that
she wishes to buy what the girl has
to sell.
There Is no species of labor worthy
of being called work that Isn't alao
worthy of being well done.
When the girl who must make her
own living remembers this she will do
her best In that position she Is trying
tc, mi. It Is only the person who con
siders herself too good for the work
very far beneath them, and that I she undertakes who is a failure.—Cally
I they never.lose an opportunity to Im-Ryland, In Dally States.

SCHOOL SHOES
School Shoes that,wear
well and cost little.
Good leather and skill

will make a shoe that
can stand the hard
knocks of a good,
healthy school boy or
girl. When shoes go to
pieces it isn’t necessa
rily the fatilt of the
wearer. The dealer
could possibly explain
why. Our school shoes
cost you np more; iu
fact they cost you less
—but the extra quality,
which does cost a little
more to get, greatly
lengthens the life of the
shoe. Try a pair and
