STORY OF THE*HOME FOR
INCURABLES.
The history of the Home for Incur
ables Association may he traced back
to the year 1893 when a little band of
women organized a circle of the
Kings Daughters and Sons, naming It
after O. Rlnlock Nelson. Bishop of
the Kplaeopal Diocese of Georgia. Un
der the name of the Nalaon Circle
they confined their work to the little
Episcopal mih«ion on Plum 8treet.
Mrs. H. R, Breen was elected Its firs:
president.
Ah the club widened however, they
entered into a larger field of useful
ness.
On Bepternber 27, 1897 the name cf
the Circle was changed to the Atlanta
Circle of the Kings Daughters and
Sons.
For several years this organization
carried on the work of helping th *
poor and needy and ministering to the
sick In all oart« of the city. In Sep
tember, 1900, tht^v decided to abandon
this line of work and concentrate ah
their energies toward the establish
ment ami maintenance of a home for
those suffering from Incurable dis
eases. as Up to that time there was
no other Institution of that charade.*
in the State of Georgia.
A charter was applied for and oi.

ized under the charter.

A BEAUTIFUL TRAVELERS
DELIGJtT.
The wistaria vine on the lawn of
Mrs. Ruth Hallman Hill, in West
Peachtree Street, has been the ad
miration of passersby on the car, dur
ing the week. The vine commonly
known as Travelers Delight, is sev
eral hundred feet long, and entirely
covers a tall tree with its graceful
lilac blossom. The old-fashioned gar
den on the lawn of Mrs. Hill’s home
has also attracted much attention
with its border of blue bandrols and
bright flowers.
PIONEER SOCIETY PICNIC.
Mrs. Robert Blackburn, Mrs. Annie
Mays Dow, and Mrs. Charles Hubner
have been appointed a committee to
arrange for the entertainment of the
Womans Pioneer Society, ut their an
nual picnic, t6 be held at the subur
ban home of Mrs. V. P. Sisson, in
Kirkwood, June the 4.
A basket dinner will be served on
the grounds, and each member of the
association will be privileged to invite
a gentleman guest.
The Pioneers will leave the city on
the 12 o’clock car. and get off at Sis
sons Station yvhere they will be met
by the hostess Mrs. Sisson and taken
to the picnic grounds.
Harroby-Sisters, an English order of
Red Cross Nurses, which is a branch
of the Mother Order in England
There were innumerable English flags
used In decorating the grounds, and
every time an Englishman passed, he
saluted the flag. I remarked that
the American laved his flag, but did
not show it the same respect, and
that if I could but see our flag, I
would certainly salute It. I was in
formed that a United States flag was
hung on the ground somewhere and
finding It, I made my party go up t
It and salute it with all the respect
we felt for it. Simultaneously with
the salute the Governor-General’s
band began playing loudly and en
thuslastlcally Hail Columbia. The
American Consul, Mr. Baker, told me
after that, that it was the first time
the English band had ever been
known to play the National air of
any other country.
‘ Mr. Baker the American Consul,
has been Consul in Australia, and is
now at New Providence. He creat
ed a sensation at the Governor-Gen-
eral’a reception by appearing dressed
in a fulldress evening suit of white
linen with black velvet cuffs and col
lar, and had his trousers stripped
down the sides with a band of black
velvet. He wore white shoes and a
white hat. His costume was the full
dreps of the Australians.
Miss Smith concluded her talk
which was a delightful feature of the
program, by describing the flora and
fauna of the country, and telling of
the habits of the people, the lower
cl iss of whom live largely on fish-
heads, and sugar cane as a diet.

objective point. In the Bahama Is

Mrs. Mark Clarke, of Chicago, their

what most impressed me was the
wonderful strength and regularity of
the teeth of the people of the Is
lands The oldest, warped and bent
body.’ would lift a face wrinkled and
old,'and behold, a smile \yould reveal
the most perfect teeth! The voices
of the children are soft and musical,
and I learned that the children are
given each week, lessons in laughing
with violin accompaniment, which
may account for the melodious sound
of their voices.
"One thing 1 noticed especially was
the absolute reverence the English
man has for his flag. On the day

DIAMONDS
ECONOMICALLY HANDLED
We have made it a point to acquaint ourselves with every
detail in the handling of diamonds from the time they are
mined until tljey go into possession of the individual. Informa
tion thus gained has enabled us to lop many of the expenses
connected therewith. We do not believe that there is anyone
that can offer you greater values for the money.
We exercise unusually careful attention In the selection of
our stock, in addition to buying in qu&ntites, and get them much
below what they would cost us were we to buy in smaller lots.
In addition to these reasons there are many minor ones
to bear out our contention that no better values are to be had
than here.
For those who do not wish to go into ready cash, or dis
turb other investments, we are glad to extend our partial pay
ment plan, whereby a small amount cash can’ be paid at the

Sales of Women's
Coats and Hats
t
We have blue-penciled the prices on Women’s
Coats and Hats very vigorously, to the end that
their disposal to-morrow shall be quick and sure.
No half-way methods, no slight reductions and
large hopes—but great reductions and certain
knowledge that women with an eye and mind for
economy will be compelled to heed the new prices.
Here—

And a happy collection, too, affording a wide choice. The
materials are storm serge, French serge, whipcord, eponge,
covert cloth, basket weave and mixture weave in black, navy
apd grays and tan. Many styles; plain mannish coats, belt
ed coats, smartly trimmed coats with turn-back cuffs and
satin revers and great ornamental buttons. All spring
weights, three-quarter length, lined to waist with messaline
—often of Dresden pattern.
Splendid coats sure to find new owners at these new
prices.

Milans and panamas.
They come under the general head of tailored hats,
which very poorly tells their attractiveness. The Milans
are bedecked with wings, feathers, snowy white ribbons
and now and then you see a tiny cluster of flowers on a
brim. Shapes—so varied that you will quickly And one
becoming to you.
The panamas are very plain—shirtwaist panamas with
no other trimming than the ribbon band.
All bear the Burgesser mark.
