Passing Events From Woman’s Point of View The following bright anecdotes, which might be called "Aftermath of the Federation Meeting at Tlfton," are from the ready pen of .Mrs. Hugh WII- let, who Is vice president of the Geor gia Federation of Women's Clubs, and who has for a number of years been prominently active In club work In Georgia: The morning after the dosing ex ercises of the Federation convention last week In Tlfton, visitors were drlv. en In carriages to view the sights In and around the magic lumber city of Georgia. These parties scattered every direction. One of the visitors expressed a desire to renew her youth by going to a sugar cane grinding. We were directed to a place about two miles In the country, where we found a small farm house occupied by a kindly, gentle-faced woman, n widow. She Informed us that she had finished grinding a few hours previous to out ar rival, working through the night in order to get off her fast kettle of syr up. Notwithstanding her farm duties, her household cart*, her futlgue con sequent upon this milled burden of syrup making,* she .••(used to let us leave disappointed, it Misting that she (ould easily have fresh one Juice in a short while. 8he gay# orders to a young boy to gel a iniile to turn the small primitive cane press, not far from the house. "Great heaps of crushed cane stnlks. useless after the Juice had been ex tracted, were lying near the milt und the odor of fermentation* suggested nearness to a brewery. The necessity green cane was soon In evidence und for tjie meie gratification of two worn- n, a real sugar cane mill was put in operation. The Juice, sweet as It was, did not. however, have the taste or flavor of the long ago. This reminds me that It Is an un Knoxville.

It was a deed of daring to play the concerto of Hchuniunn at the good-bye concert of a prlina donna, and Ml** Newcomb can estimate her well- deserved great succes* nil the higher. This wonderful composition, which has not been In the front so much of late, obtained 11 thoroughly refreshing effect through flic extremely poetical style of the American debutante.

And from The Fremden Hiatt of 190.1: "Miss Kthel Newcomb, a promising product of the piano school of the piano •Master In the Cottage.' took tht* oc casion of her countrywoman's concert to launch herself successfully In pub lic. She played Schumann's* piano con certo with brilliant technique, charm ing touch and a One feeling for Its melodic phrasing. This slightly built young lady, with her delicate hands, does honor to her muster, I.eHchetisUy, and well deserved the applause she re el ved. She will certainly give us oo- hsIou again some day to speak of her powers In greater detail." Mrs. Lucfon L. Cocke, a former At lanta woman, who |h now a resident of Roanoke, Va., Is a prominent factor In the great Southwest Virginia Fall Festival which Is being held at present III Roanoke. Mrs. Cocke Is president of the Woman's Civic Hetferment Club of Roanoke and the success of tho fes tival Is largely due to her untiling ef forts. The following dipping from the Roanoke paper will give some Idea of this unique enterprise: "The festival I* Intended to advertise southwest Virginia to th»* country nt large, for the purpose of calling ntton- iiv-mnj nun A., n >H*. mv jionaiumi; «».j!®** to the w ondei fill resoul cea and enlightening our new-made acqualn*»the possibilities for making money that lance by telling him some of the ~ l - 1,1 ' ' “ small bunch hf magenta bachelor but tons nestling close beside the house, and the vista of year* gone by opened befoie me. vividly recalling memories of my chllhood day*.

The possibility of „ Atlanta audience No- at ilie Grand opera for the first time In many years, will doubtless fill the house to Its ut most capacity. The Atlanta public I* await ing her arrival with the keenest Interest. The yenr-book Just published gives much of Interest regard lux the work of Hull House, and the following detail* of the work done there Is token largely therefrom: Hull House, the old homestead «f Mr. ’harlei J. |jij||, | n which Min Addnins and Mis* titarr first located to study conditions and be of service to the unfortunate, la sit uated In the midst of largo foreign colonies. barter states that Its object Is: "To provide n center for a higher civic and so cial life; to Institute arMjnflintain educa tional and philanthropic enterprises, and to investigate nnd Improve conditions In the Industrial districts of Chicago." Forty-tiro men and women comprise the residential force; they all arc engaged In •elf-sustnlnlng occupation*. nnd giro their leisure to the house. No university odnea tlou Is deinaudcd from the residents, though the. majority are roJIege people. Residents are pledged to remain two years, nt least. Very few salaries are paid nt (lull House, nnd those only for technical services. Tli* 1 expense* of the residents ure defrayed by themselves, under the direction of n house committee, ou the plan of a co-operative club. One hundred and fifty people cocie each week to Hull llcnxe. either us teacher* or directors of dubs. Many of these ^u»n-resi dents give much time and valuable service. The trustees arc n self-cei,floating body of seven members, each of whom Is elec ted for n period of seven years. At tho meet ings, held quarterly, monthly accounts are prcMetited and Interests of the bouse dls- wrlnter months, either ns members of an for nt The rcsldents’aro confident, however, that growth, either In buildings or numbers, counts for little unless the settlement Is aide to evoke and attract to the bouse val uable resources of moral energy nnd social ability from the neighborhood Itself, nnd that the success of the undertaking Is largely In proportion so this Is accom plished. The public* lectures given there each Sun day night attract many people, and after the 801 sent* In the lecture hall are filled great crowds ere turned away. These lee- lures nre aimed to attract chiefly the men. ses for adults come together first ji soebil finals, ami then finally organ ise to acquire some special knowledge. Dur ing the eighteen years of flic existence of Hull House Mich classes have met three terms a year. Home few classes met a fourth term—during summer months.

Talents hitherto donuaut have heeu aroused here, r.nd many »• I my and girl bait risen high In their avocation or profession, Hovers! of Hull House educational enter prises have developed through the effort made to bridge the past life In Kurupe with American experiences. In such a manner ns to give them both some meaning and sense of relation. The Hull House Labor Museum was In the first instance suggested nr tunny people In the neighborhood who bad come directly from country places lu south eastern Europe, lu which Industrial proc- •**oes arc still carried on by the most priml live method*. It wan nor unusual to find an old Italian woman holding a distaff and spinning with the simple stick spindle which bad certainly been used In the days when David :eu«led bis sheep at Bethlehem. There were In the Immediate neighborhood at lease four varieties of these most primi tive methods of snfitnlng. nnd at least three distinct variations of the •nine spindle put In connection with wheels. These seven methods are arranged futo historic sequence nnd order, nnd to connect the wltofe wtlh (he present method of factory spinning. The name thing is done for wearing, and on every Saturday evening an exhibit Is made of these "various forms of labor" In the textile Indttatry.

We fancied that his ln« terest lay solely In the commercial value tir use of the lumber. To our iinmcement and delight, however, a few questions revealed to us the fact that though an uneducated person, he was n child of na\uv who bad pntilted by her lessons. He told us the story of the young tree and explained how we could determine ft* age and history' by examining Its heifrt.

We Inquired why the rings burg, congressman «»f this district, lias agreed to use hi* bent personal efforts exist here. All Virginian* of this Hon nre, therefore, greatly Interested In the success of n movement of this kind. The citizens of Roanoke have entered Into the project with great earnest neks, und committees have been formed representing every business profession nnd labor organisation. It Is due to their enterprise that the poo- pie of southwest Virginia should lend a helping band, a* whatever will ad vance the interests of Roanoke will have a corresponding effect upon the prosperity of the large section of the Old Dominion eontrlbutary thereto. The Hon. Carter Glass, of Lynch- nearest the center are thicker than the outer ones near tha bark, and werd told the growth of the tree during the first few years Is much more rapid than afterwards. It is possible to learn also the reasons for the varying thick ness or thinness of these tings, and also the seasons for the varying thick ness of the rings on the different sides of the same tree. The tree may be « rowded on one side by roots of neigh boring trees and may be too much shaded for normal development. Where most favorable conditions exist on the other side the fiber flourishes and at tains n greater thickness. We could see mark* on some of the logs show ing where the tree had received some Injuries In years past, and nature hud concealed the wounds by covering them with new growth. "Taking out his knife any! cutting off a piece ot bark, he called our attention to the white Inner lining growing Just beneath th" surface, and explained that this develop* into a ring.
