Before Appearance;
Comes Saturday A. M.
Miss Helen Keller and her teacher,
Mrs Macy, will Arrive In Atlanta on
Saturday morning, ready for the lec
ture in the Auditorium-Armory Sat
urday night.
They will stop at the Hotel Ansley,
where they will rest until evening.
The public appearances are somewhat
of a strain on the highly sensitive
nature of Miss Keller, and rest prior
to her lectures is necessary.
'The Atlanta Chapter of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy prevailed on
Miss Keller to come to Atlanta before
she retired permanently from the lec
ture platform, and she will appear
under the auspices and for the benefit
of this organization.

ISSUE. SAYS
Captain Sidestepping as Usual,’
He Says of Debate Challenge
. Acceptance.
WASHINGTON, Div. HI 'Hobson
is now* on his way to get his attend
ance record to seven hours a session,”
to-day declared Representative Dono
van, of Connecticut, who, after sev
eral tilts with Representative Rich
mond P. Hobson yesterday, challenged
the Alabaman to a joint debate, on the
subject of absenteeism.
“The genial Captain Hobson is side
stepping as usual.” and Donovan. T
challenged him to debate the ques
tion, 'Resolved, That absence from
Congress by Representatives In good
health is honest and Justifiable,' with
Hobson taking the affirmative. Ilob-
aon came back with the statement
that he will debate 'the question of
criminality, to include appearances
before grand Juries on charges of
irregularities in the liquor traffic.’
"I have no knowledge of the work
ings of a grand Jury—that is to say,
none lias ever passed on any acts of
mine at any time—and I can not de
bate a question I am not familiar
with.
“The issue between Hobson and me
lias been absenteeism, and there has
been no evasion of the Issue on my
part. It seems pitiful to be obliged
to address these matters to Alabama
instead of to Washington, where Hob-
! son’s duties demand his presence.

There is tangoing and tangoing.
This tiLuch Atlanta society lias
learned in the brief time that Miss
Donna Bain has been giving exposi
tions of the modern dance steps at
the Piedmont Driving Club.
Dancing, of course, is not a diver
sion with Miss Bain. It is a profes
sion. Consequently, it is not surpris
ing that she glides and dips and floats
about a ballroom floor with consid
erably mere airiness and grace than
the mere amateur.
Young society women—and the
young men as well—have been great
ly Impressed by the dances shown by
Miss Bain. They have wondered that
there could be so much difference in
the tango as it commonly is danced
at all of the society functions and as
it is demonstrated by this young
woman whose home' was in Atlanta
until six years ago, when she went to
New York and then abroad to make a
close study of the various dances of
the world.
The tango, for example, Miss Rain
dances with a rhythm and grace that
takes away from her interpretation of
it the suggestion of a calisthenic ex
ercise or a drill that a studied pre
cision ordinarily gives a dance step.
Miss Bain is precise. There is no
question about that. Those who sit at j
her feet to learn find that she Insists j
upon doing it “just so.” But while !
she is a stickler for the fundamental I
principles of the dance, she lays Just I
as much emphasis on the grace that ,
