\ i H 7 liss Hell Prince ITEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATT. A NT A, Who i.s one of the most ^ I 'HE week has been a busy one with I the clubwomen. Preparatory to the festivities that attend Christmas there have been many plans to make and work to conclude before the new year opens. An old ante-bellum custom 'will be observed, when some of the clubs will keep opei house "ii New Yerfr’s day. The Uncle Remus Memorial Associa tion will open the Wren’s Nest on the first of the year, and the Atlanta Woman's Club will keep open house on the same day. There will be no attempt at display at these New Year receptions, but an old-fashioned simplicity will be main tained. In the days when New Year was observed by Atlantans the cus tom was to have the cakes set out on the piano "all in a row,” and the wine decanters and glasses on the litue marble or mahogany table close by. A glass of wine and a slice of cake was the offering. The young men called, whether they knew the hostess or the young ladies assisting in the reception or not. and if the acquaintance was desirable .t was kept up. In those days mu oh lime was spent on the illumination of the calling cards the young men used. They were usually done by hand, with the finest of pens and on the shiniest of enameled cardboard. Mrs. Joseph H. Morgan, president of the Atlanta Woman’s Pioneer So ciety, has a collection of these cards that are interesting, belonging as they did to the old beaus of Atlanta in the sixties, when Joseph Thomp son, his handsome brother, Edgar; Ilayne Ellis, the handsomest man in the State; Charlie and John Martin, the Williams boys, Warren and Reu ben Jordan. Harry Krouse, W. D. Grant, Joe Morgan. A. C. Winn and other of the fashionables of the town used to go calling. Later there were Hoke Smith. Ben Briscoe, Sidney Dell, Henry Grady. William Howell, Judgo Joe Troup Lumpkin. B. B. Crew, Char lie Collier and others. Then there has been a more serious work done by the clubwomen this week. They have taken active inter est in the Child Welfare Exhibit and have celebrated the birthday of.Joel \’handler Harris, which fell on De cember 9. The establishment of tni* custom to recognize the birthday Ot Uncle Remus was originated by the president of the Uncle Remus. Memo rial Association. Mrs. A. McD. Wilson, who is now working to make the rec ognition nation-aide. Mr*. Wilson his asked every head of every school to set aside a period of study on De cember 9 as a tribute to Mr. Harris, and to have his writings alone for t.ie program of that period. The Junior Civic League and the Uncle Remus people held jointly a program at the ITomjn’s Club house Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs Samuel Lunpkin making talks. The' program w»s arranged by Mrs. Lvman Amsden. The meeting o? the W oman Suffrage League Wednesday closed the tvor'.; of that organi*tion until r.fter the holidays. The plans for 1914 will bt announced lateb < -w—hF. appeadnee of Helen Keller I next Saturday evening in Atlanta I under tin auspices of the. Daugh ters of the, Confederacy will be at tended with ifany interesting features, it has been lanned that every Daugh- ter of the Confederacy be present to \ttss teller at a reception, to be held in the parlors of the Ansley Hotel, provided MJs Keller arrives in the city in time to permit. Miss Kecr will make this, her first and last t»blie appearance on the lec ture Diatom in Atlanta, having de cided to etitc after her final engage- '“Tmithi pleasing innovation, planned for the Occasion will be the crowning t Miss Keller as "The Daughter of ihe Souti." which idea originated with Mrs Ilien t’lane, who is responsible tor 'th' aapearar.ee of Miss Keller in Miami Sirs. Plane proposes to have VU, feller crowned with Southern flower, and has Invited Miss Mildred Roth.’ford, historian of the Georgia Divistn of the Daughters of the Con- fede'rfy, to make the speecti appro- nriat for the occasion. I, will be remembered that Helen Kelt!' is a Southern woman, having bee. born in Alabama, where she is “'<* to spend her Christmas holidays. *1 a recent report from Knoxville, Ii-e Helen Keller and her teacher. Ail Macey. appeared, It is stated that v,treat was the rush for seats to hear ,'JT wonderful woman that two enter- ifoments had to be given that day, i'slead of one, and at each performance l e re was scarcely standing room. /Already a number of boxes have been *osailed at the Auditorium for the per- fornance. Mrs. Williams McCarthy, president of the United Daughters of / the Confederacy, and Forrest Adair be ing among those planning parties, Gov- erfor .1. M. Slaton has been asked to ..rfcent Mrs. Macey and Miss Keller on ;lil evening of her appearance here. # « * T ' HE board of control of the Wom an’s Auxiliary to Wesley Memo rial Hospital held an important Jecutive meeting at the residence of Is. R. K. liambo on Wednesday at | a. m., the president of the auxiliary, Jr*. Kanibo. presiding. At 3 p. m. on the same day, and at he same place, the ways and means -ornmittee of the auxiliary held its reg ular weekly meeting. Mrs. Henry Pucker .chairman, presiding. Mf-s T. K. Kendall, of Gainesville, was elected financial field secretary for the State of Georgia, and will begin on January 1 an active campaign among Georgia Methodists.^ ^ W HEN the Daughters of the Con federacy planned to hold its big bazaar this month, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was asked to make a small donation. She sent a lady’s handkerchief, which was belated on account of the wedding of her daugh ter, Miss Jessie Wilson, and Mr. bran ds Sayre. The gift arrived yesterday, lust before the regular meeting of the 11 1 'was decided that the handkerchief be bought bv the Daughters of the <’on- federaev. Atlanta t’bapier. •' "I W' ~ n;- ed to Mrs. Helen I Mane, the honorary president. Mrs. \\ il iams Met iirtlij. president of the chapter, led off the sale with five dollars, other members of the societv following with generous sub script ions. The amount raised "D the handkerchief was ?"0. winch was '”•»><>- \ied to tlie chapter house fund, as a younger sot, and is a charming tlit* season. Miss Prince is a very talented and accom plished ffirl, ant her social graces and lovable na ture have won her a host of friends. Pho to by Hirsh- popular members of the guest at all the soeial affairs of npHE question of a Central Market for J Atlanta has agitated the club ■ wormii for many years. Politics has kept the market from materializ ing. the dub women maintain. That a central market would greatly modify the high cost of living is true. But what can a handful of women do against, the Mighty Adam? And poli tics IS a Mighty Adam that grinds all else hut the Ringmaster and his assist ants to sawdust, But there is a solution, if the club women will follow the example of many of the other cities and establish a Town and Country Co-operative Society, which in some instances is growing into per manent. profitable markets which are owned and conducted by club women. In Chattanooga such a business has been promoted by a number of women who have put the scheme upon a per- inanen{^business basis. The society will have 'or its work the bringing together of women who buy and women who sell country produce. Mrs. \V, B. Cooke, one j of the promoters of the plan, offered I her home as an exchange if the society eouHl not secure a room in the court house or some other desirable place for the exchange, and Miss Ernestine Noa and others have offered their services as storekeepers until the business reaches a self-supporting basis. There are a number of stockholders in the Town and Country Co-operative Society and they propose to provide butter and eggs es pecially at a much low r er price than the grocer gives. The time is ripe in Atlanta for such a move on" the part of the women of the clubs. What would be begun as a small exchange, with the earnest co operation of other women could be J made to become a permanent business which would sooner or later become a I central market, a pride to the women of the city, and certainly prove that the political tyranny of mere Man could not keep Woman from bringing about one of the needed reforms in Atlanta. It has been stated that early in the coming year the activities of the club women will be focused toward the es tablishment of what will some day be Atlanta’s long-felt need—a central mar<- ket where the housewives and the wom en of the country can get together in mutual benefit. LOLL1E BELLE WYLIE. DELIGHTFUL Christmas drink, revived by some of the Atlanta club women from the Old Eng lish, is called Lamb’s Wool. The drinx contribution from Mrs. Woodrow Wil son. Accompanying the handkerchief was a card, bearing a personal message in the handwriting of Mrs. Wilson. HE Daughters of the Confederacy j ! met in the Woman's Club Thurs- . ■ day afternoon to report on the | bazaar, held by the. Atlanta Chapter | last ween. Nearly $600 was cleared by the ladies having charge of the enter prise. The beautiful doll, dressed by Mrs. Hazzard, brought $30. Mrs. Wil liam Williams and Mrs Thomas Peters realized $90 at their booth, and Miss Sallie Melone, chairman of the bags booth, cleared over $90 on fancy bags. Other chairmen were equally success ful irom a financial standpoint. * * * P resenting a nag to the county Board o' Commissioners, to be raised '.rar the new Coufthoues, was one of the interesting incidents of the past week. Mrs. Richard P. Brooks, of Forsytn, regent of the chapter, made in inspiring presentation speech which was respond* to by Mayor Woodward for the city, and Luciei, Lamar Knight for the State and county.. General Clif ford Anderson was master of cere monies. # # An election of officers will be held by the Piedmont Continental Chapter, 1*. \\ U Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, ai which time an interesting program will be given along with the business routine.

O Bricker will read, and a musical program will be given by sev eral local musicians.

Miss Smith is also one of the founders of the Young Ladies’ Cir culating Library at Athens, which has been successfully operated for a year. * m • The lectures of Mrs. William Clare Spiker. president of the Drama League, before the Atlanta Woman’s Club the last week in January, are looked for ward to with interest, as they will cover an entirely new and modern line of thought. Mrs. Spiker has sorm* orjgfnal ideas on the methods used in the mak ing of an actress and dramatic art. An invitation to the Drama League will be extended by the Woman's Club to the series of talks to be given by Mrs. Spiker. * * * % /• RS. THOMAS PETERS. well l^l known as the author of a nuin- ‘ ■ ber of reminiscent stories of the Old South, and especially of the old plantation days, has written the fol lowing jingle to be used in behalf of tiie Red Cross seal sale, for which the club women of Atlanta are working: The dollars of our daddies aial the widow’s littb- mite each much mive a share in this tuberculosis fight, so keep the cartwheels rolling; don’t let the eagle squeaf 'til you’ve got the market cornered on the Red Cross seal; stick one on each package that you semi by Cncie Sam. or put into the stoc king t*at is hanging by the jamb. Then when your task is ended and the work you see well done. You can say with Tiny Tim, "Gloss bless us ev'ry one." The appearance of Miss Lucy Stan ton. of Athens, before the Atlanta Wom an's Club added greatly to the charm of the arts and crafts program, arranged by Miss Virginia Woolley, chairman of that committee. Miss Stanton had as her theme "Portrait and Miniature Painting.'' in which art she has made a more than local reputation. Other features of the program were the talks of Mark Sheridan o£ 'Ulterior Decora tion," and Wilbur Kurtz, on "Illustra tions, Cover Designs and Commercial Art.” Thurston Hatcher. Miss Marie Haines, Mrs. It. C. Patterson, Miss Lula Ross and others contributed to the pro gram. * * * S CONGRESS OF DOLLS will be held at the home of Mrs. W. L. Peel De cember 19 and 20.

The headquarters of the general chairman i.s in the reading room of the Piedmont Hotel. is mixed in a large punch bowl or lov ing cup, and consists of three baked apples, which have been run through the colander; two quarts of old apple ' ider and a generous dash of good brandy. The mixture should be very highly spiced and served steaming hot. The apples that rise in the howl and float lightly on the top give the idea of wool, from which the drink derives its name. Another famous drink was used ex tensively in Virginia when the Cava liers were newly there and handed down to this day as Apple Jack. Apple Jack is made as follows: A hot roasted ap ple put in the silver drinking goblet, and filled to the top with apple brandy, which is drunk as the apple steams hot and savory in the cup. This is rather •an insidious drink, but custom has made it a looked for one on Christmas morn ing. in “the best families * Grape juice can be made into a hot and delicious drink, just as the lamb's I Wool is made. leaving out or adding the brandy, as inclination dictates. * * * S COTCH thistles were the flowers used In combination with narcissi at the reception given by Mrs. | Anthony Murphy Wednesday afternoon | to the Pioneer Women of Atlanta.
