Passing Events From Woman s Point of View The announcement this week of the approaching marriage of Mrs. Paul Leicester Ford, widow of tho novelist, whose untimely death was caused by his brother’s murderous pistol,- to Dr. Linsley R, Williams, of New York, Is n matter of Interest to all people who are familiar with the literary work of her huehand. Mrs. Ford la 10 years of age and as attractive. It Is said, os she was when Paul Ford’s admiring genius wove the romance of “Janice Meredith" around her enduring young charms. She has one child, a daughter born shortly aft er the death of her husband. It is said that the strong attachment of the little girl to Dr. Williams, who lias cared for her professionally since her birth, had much to do with the afTectlon that prompts Mrs. Ford’s second marrlnge. The child Is heiress to an Income of $65,001) a year, derived from the royal ties on her father’s books, the most successful of which are "The Hon. Pe ter Stirling," “Janice Meredith” and "The Story of an Untold Love.” Dr. Williams Is a Princeton gradu ate, and Is himself about >0 years of age. He has known Mrs. Ford since she was the beautiful Grace Kidder, of Brooklyn. He Is a successful physician and Is said to bo very devoted to the lovely young widow whom he Is soon to marry. , A bit of testimony given’ at a ses sion of the state convention of Fed erated Clubs, held last month In Tlfton, will be of Interest nnd value to every woman who reads It here. Mrs. Eugene Heard, of Middleton, In emphasizing the fact that as a Georgia club wom an. and through her Interest In club work, she had undertaken the director ship of the model school at the James town Exposition, said; “And I desire to diverge here for the moment In order to express my grati tude for what being a club woman has meant to me. I can truthfully say that I owe to my club membership my best development, and whatever capacity for usefulness I may possess.” Such words, coming from such a source, can but carry their con viction as to the value and beauty of the work for which our women’s clubs stand. f As Is well known, the model school at Jamestown was one of the most suc cessful and Interesting features of the exposition. It was closely allied to club work In that the Norfolk Woman’s Club took an active pnrt In the ehter* prise, and Its efficient president. Miss Catherine Gatewood, was social host ess during Mrs. Heard’s serious Ill ness. To Miss Gatewood’s tine execu tive ability much ot the school’s suc cessful conduct during Mrs. Heard's Illness was due. Atlantans who remember Eva Booth, the young Salvationist, will read with Interest that she continues to attract muc.h admiring attention, and through her platform and public speaking lends a dignity to tier work and words that forbids criticism or satire. A few nights ago she spoke In Philadelphia to a great audience In one of the large churches there on “The Song of the City.” She made a tremendous Impres sion. more for her own gifts of oratory and acting than for the cause for which she works, though It is not her fault that this Is so. It 1b the thorough ear nestness of her purpose that adds much to the Intpresslveness of her delivery— and the unusual beauty of her lan- S uage. The slight little woman, with er wondrous depth of feeling and her unquestioned ability, seems fated to make a career for herself In spite of the unselfish medium through which she has chosen to express her genius. Of the speech In PhlladMphla a writer, on a dally paper says: "Her theme was ‘The Song of the City,’ hut her text, despite the poetic quality of many of the passages. In terested the congregation less than Its delivery. It was tho actress who held the attention of all. They saw a slight girlish figure in blue uniform, with red shoulder straps, a thin, poetic face framed In a halo of chestnut-colored hair, and a pair ot expressive brown eyes, which glowed with ardor as the speaker told of the music she loved. "As she became Interested In her theme—the song of the Celestial City or the song of redemption—the low voice lost something of its musical tone and the actress In the woman became evi dent. Rehearsing the petition of a gamin In a London gutter Commander EvA crouched near the ground an the boy had kneeled. During a portion of the recital she sat a while delivering the words of a person who was sitting. Once she kneeled In prayer. Her Im aginative description of Charlotte El liott as she wrote the famous hymn, 'Just as I Am,' was Impressive, and the death scene of Samson was as dramatic as the last act of a tragedy." The speaker wae Introduced by John Wanamaker,' the great merchant, and In the audience were many of Phila delphia’s leading citizens. The chairman of the outlook commit tee of the General Federation of Wom en’s Clubs, Miss Alice J. Fletcher, sent out some time ago an appeal to wom en to refrain from wearing aigrettes or plumes of the white heron, as the number of these beautiful snowy birds Is rapidly diminishing, with a likeli hood of their becoming extinct through the, ruthless methods of the hunters. Miss Fletcher defends women from the charge of being cruel or heartless, vain or selfleh because they wear aigrettes and dead birds and says they thus adorn themselves because they do not really select their own millinery, but wear what they are told to, nnd she urges the exercise of more originality in this regard. . .... CHRISTMAS PARTIES AMONG THE YOUNGER SET. The presence In Atlanta during the holidays of numbers of school girls who'wlll return to spend Christmas at home will occasion a number of lovely parties. Misses Passlo May Ottley, Marjorie Brown, Margaret Dlsosway, Frances Nunnalty, Bessie Pope, Nellie Stewart, Courtenay Harrlion and others will be among the girls who are expected this month nnd about whom will center the gaieties of the holiday season among the younger set.

THE WOMAN’S HOME MI8SION SOCIETIES. In pursancc to a call from the wom an's home mission societies of the Methodist churches of Atlanta, repre sentative women from these societies held an enthusiastic mass meeting at the First Methodist church Wednesday afternoon nt 1 o'clock. The purpose of this meeting was to arrange for an educational movement to mraken Interest In the study of the educational and sociological problems of the day, along which lines the read ing course of the Home Mission Society Is mapped out by an International com mittee. which committee Is elected from the different Protestant denominations, making this reading course Interde nominational as well. Much Interest was aroused by the meeting, officers were elected and plans formulated whereby this movement will not only be of great benefit to the church, but to the city and to the South. It will also be of great help nnd Interest to alt of any creed or denomi nation who are Interested In the so ciological problems that confront us, and In the uplifting and betterment of the race. The plans adopted are that all home mission workers and others who desire shall taka up this reading course, nnd twice each month, on the second and third Friday evenings, open meetings will be held nt the First Methodist church, on which evenings Interesting lectures will be given on the line of the study course. Illustrated with stereop- tlcon views, and a good musical pro gram will also be given.

The recent establishment of "The Arcade,” the student magazine of Cox College, comes In th# nature of a reve lation to the public, showing os It does the high standard of literary study pur sued at that Institution. Although the K rlodlcal Is Just now In the third num- r of Its first year. It already ranks with the best student productions not only of all the women's colleges, but also of almost every large university for men In the South. For many years ths languages and music departments of the college have been widely known because of the thorough training evi denced by their graduates, but under the guidance of the late President Cox the department of English language and literature reached o standard un usual In Southern Institutions. The new head of th* English de partment, Profeseor Cert Holliday, hae. within the iMt four months, set an even higher requirement for the stu dents of this branch, nnd has Inaugu rated, along with the regular recita tion eyetem. a thorough lecture course on all the greater leadera and move ments In American and English lltera- turt. Colleges near the great city of At lanta enjoy a peculiar literary advan tage over those In other sections of the South. The best music heard this side of the Mason and Dixon line la heard In this Vlly, while seldom In any other Southern city are so many great pro ductions of Shakespeare and other mas. ter dramatist* seen. That thee* things are of the utmost value In college life was very plainly evidenced during the recent visit of Mantell. the Shake spearean suitor. The literature classes of Cox College studied "Lear," "Ham let” and ’The Merchant of Venice" in tb* class room, then saw Mantell's powerful Interpretation, and Shake speare has become a reality to these young people.
