OhWdl!’Mrs.KdIy’s Idea of Beauty Honor AUGUSTA IN
She and All Her Family Appear at
Fete of Joseph Habersham
Chapter, D. A. R,
RAIN DRIVES PARTY INDOORS
Bo-Peep, Bluebeard, Contrary
Mary and Other Childhood Fa
vorites Caught by Storm.
Mother Goose, dear to every child
ish heart, and every older one as
well, descended with all her family
upon Mr. and Mrs. Clyde King’s lawn
Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock.
She led a grand pageant. Including
everybody from Bo-Peep, Bluebeard
and his wives to the “Old Woman
Who Lived in the Shoe,” and had
so many children she didn’t know
what to do, as well as the switch she
used on them when she sent them
to bed.
The news had spread that Mother
Goose was expected and several hun
dred persons turned out to do the
famous old lady honor. However,
contrary to every one’s idea, she was
not a Mother Goose at all, even
though she looked the part. She was
really a “Father Goose” in Mother
Goose’s clothes—and was Charles
Glover
This was a surprise except to Fa
ther Goose himself and the members
of the Joseph Habersham Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion. who imported the Goose family
to help them make money to erect
their chapter house on Peachtree
Road.
Rain Causes Flight.
The Druid Hills lawns of Mr. and
Mrs. King and Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Mitchell looked like a Fourth of July
celebration, a coronation and an in
auguration of a President, all in one.
That is. they did before the rain.
On the Mitchell lawn a baby
show was conducted, eight prizes
being awarded to children who were
fine speciments of w r hat children
ought to be. Miss Gladys Hanson
Snook presented the prizes after the
little folks had been passed upon by
the judges. She made a charming
little speech.
Mothur Goose, with her tall black
and gold cap and her red and white
costun. had just marched into the
king’s premises and begun to show
native Atlantans what she could do
outside of a book when the sky
darkened and shortly after the floods
descended.
Piano Gets a Soaking.
Beckoning to her patriotic follow
ers who were sitting in 300 or more
lawn chairs and standing all over the
place, she scampered for the house
and let her children finish their fancy
dances and other pretty Mother
Goose tableaux there. The booths also
had to be torn up and their con
tents removed, but the poor piano
Mother Goose’s children marched by
had to be left out in the rain till
it could be rescued and dried by the
fire.
The house looked like the open
pages of a Mother Goose rhyme book.
Here and there were bevies of fairies,
or Brownies—or just plain, ordinary
Bo-Peep, who was Miss Sarah Col-
cord, was on hand with her shepherd
ess crook and her flowered gown. A
young clown was her shadow in the
personage of Lawton Griffin. Miss
Floyd Fort, as “Mary, Quite Con
trary,” had a garden of fifteen girls
She carried a watering can to sprinkle
them with.
Bluebeard’s Many Wives.

posed to be from far Japan and ivore
chrysanthemums and a flowered silk
kimono; Dorothy Wilkins and Tom
mie Perdue. Miss Margaret Dabney

sister, Miss Evelyn Jordon, was a
fairy with wings.
These were the Pled Piper’s chil

If you were told that you are one

world, and that your picture was
wanted to represent America in a
glorious galaxy of feminine beauty
chosen from the countries of the
world, what would you do?
. Would you feel flattered, and im
mediately deck yourself in the fan-"
ciest of fancy clothing and tell your
admiring friends about it? Or would
you accept the honor—probably the
greatest, from a feminine point of
view', that could come to you—with
an “Oh, well—’’ and a fascinating
shrug of much admired shoulders?
Mrs. Gertrude V. Kelly, of Atlan
ta, winner of The New York Amer
ican’s beauty -contest, and declared
one of the fairest of Atlanta’s count
less fair women, did the latter.
England Calls Her Fairest.
She received a letter recently from
Rudolph De Cordova, a magazine
writer of London, England, asking
for her photograph, the one which
won the gold medal offered by the
New York paper. Ml*. De Cordova
wrote that the editors of The London
Sketch and The London Illustrated
News had asked him to prepare an
article on “The World’s Most Beauti
ful Women,” and he wrote Mrs. Kelly
that he had selected her photograph
that appeared in The Georgian ns
offering the best type of American
beauty.
He wrote also that he Is selecting
the most beautiful woman of every
civilized country, and would combine
them all under the caption “The
fairest Women of Every Country.”
Now, even to a mere man, a re
quest like that would seem to be an
occasion for great and unrestrained
rejoicing. But—
When an American reporter called
"at her home to beg her to
share the details of th$ hon
or with the people of Atlanta,
she was placidly—and. beautifully—
pressing a bewildering assortment
of silks and chiffons, and she ap
peared no more excited over being
chosen as an international beauty
than she was when she won the
New York American's contest.
“Oh, well ” she dismissed the

And then she smiled again, and—

UNIDENTIFIED MAN HANGS
HIMSELF ON CITY STREET
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., May 31.—
The body of a white man, 50 years
old, unidentified, was found hanging
to a tree at Nineteenth Avenue and
Thirtieth Street, North, this afternoon
by a negro. It is believed the man
climbed the. tree, put a wire around
his neck and then jumped off.
features and her hair form a bewil
dering combination of beauty.
And here is the most remarkable
thing about Mrs. Kelly’s “interna
tional beauty:” She hasn’t used a
drop of cold cream or other cosmetic
for a month of Sundays.
“Cosmetics do not make beauty,” |
she declared. “They destroy it. There
is only one way to be beautiful, or at
least retain what beauty you have—
and that is to live simply and be calm.
Above all things, be calm. Don’t fret
and worry your good looks away.”
Mrs. Kelly says the “don’t worry”
rule holds good both summer and
winter, especially in the summer,
when most women fear the ravages
of heat and perspiration. The most
splendid of toilets is worthless unless
you can keep cool, Mrs. Kelly de
clares.
Beauty Hint* for Summer.
“Summer is the season of the year
that most women dread,” she said.
“The heat plays havoc with com- |
plexions and costumes, and brings on |
periods of worry and depression that
destroy their beauty.”
Here are five simple rules observ
ed by Mrs. Kelly and her beautiful
daughter, Sarah, which, if followed
during the summer months, would, in
the opinion of Mrs. Kelly, enable you
to retain your beauty:
1. Be calm; don’t fret; don’t worry.
2. Live simply as you can and take
life easy.
3. Eat sparingly of meat.
4. Be pals with your family.
5. Keep as cool as possible.

HANGING OF WIFE-SLAYER
LITTLE ROCK, ARK, May 31 —
Acting Governor Futrell to-day de

Pietro Ghiloni, New Orleans! Council Aids Chief Beavers in Ar-
Sculptor, Exhibits Model of resting Belligerents Angry Over
Work at Chattanooga. Discussion of Mystery.
Hoping that four of the States of
the Confederacy will adopt his de
sign, Pietro Ghiloni, sculptor, exhibit
ed at the Chattanooga reunion a mod
el for his proposed memorial to the
"Women of the Confederacy.’*
Ten States have adopted the design
by Miss Belle Kinney. The four re
maining States—Tennessee, Alabama,
Louisiana and Weat Virginia—are
rather averse to using her statue, pre
ferring, if possible, something dis
tinctive. It iy these States which Mr.
Ghiloni has tried to interest, and with
considerable assurance of success.
The group as designed by Mr, Ghi
loni presents two entirely different
tableaux. Viewed from one side, the
erect figure of a woman is ^een sup
porting a. wounded lad with one arm,
while with the other she urges the
ranks behind to follow the color-
bearer, who holds the flowing flag of
the Confederacy. A broken plow and
trampled grain typify the devastation
in the wake of the Northern army.
Another figure, a mere boy, Is aiming
a rifle over the handles of this broken
plow.
as a complete division between th
two groups, a kneeling woman band
ages the arm of a wounded soidiei
who aims a revolver, notwdthsiandini
his hurt.
The idea hay been to show the In
domitable spirit of the South, fighting
on, though stricken, and the loyalty
of the women, who, though aympa-
thizing deeply with their wounded
brethren, found courage to spur them
on to continued conflict.
The pedestal has space for bronze
tablets picturing two battles. Mr.
Ghiloni’s idea is that the different
States probably will have different
battles in mind which they think most
deserving of commemoration because
of the conspicuous part their own
troops* displayed.
He plans the group as fourteen feet
high, the base ten feet.
Long Resident of New Orleans,
Mr. Ghiloni is a native of Italy, but
long a resident of New Orleans.
Among itis works are the pediment of
the Oklahoma City court house, one
of the most beautiful buildings of its
kind; the Louisiana Purchase monu
ment, at the St, Louis fair; deflora
tions for the Delgado Art Muteum,
; New Orleans: several noteworthy
busts, and figure* of Sts. Peter and
Paul in the Church of San Menlalo,
