Miss Bain and partner in two proper poses of the tango. Miss Keller to Rest 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.
