THE HOTEL ARAGON
•/. LEE BARNES, Manager. JESSE N. COUCH, Assistant Manager.
WHY THE HOTEL ARAGON APPEALS
TO PEOPLE OF FASTIDIOUS TASTES
This popular hostelry has recently gone oq the European plan exclusively and is receiving tho finishing touches of artistic decorations and new furnishings in
volving an expenditure of several thousand dollars. The former American dining room will be used in the future as a convention hall and for banquets and large
• dinner parties, of which the management now makes a specialty.
The cafe will be transformed into a thing of beauty. The decorations havo been assigned to Mr. J. W«_Otto, whose work on the Candler building has attract
ed so much attention. The kitchen will be placed in close proximity to the cafe, and this, with a large corps of trained waiters, will insure prompt service. And
prompt service means a lot when you are hungry. It is needless to assure those who are familiar with THE ARAGON that everything the market affords will be at
your command at reasonable prices. * •
New carpets of exquisite design and furniture of the latest pattern lend a special charm to the hundreds of large,, cool rooms, while the hotel itself, located on
the highest point of delightful Peachtree, is unrivaled in its situation. It’s the most home-like place in town. Telephone in every room.
Courtesy and desire to please are the very keynote of the management. You notice it on the part of every attache of

the establishment. How could it be otherwise with such gentlemen as Fred H. Hauser, S J. Lawrence and J. J. Joines among*
those in charge? In short, the new era preserves all the charm of the old, with many additional attractions and conveniences.

In the midst of echoes from the
biennial of 1906 the next convention
already being bullded, saya The
Municipal Tribune. To work for two
years and bring about a series of
meetings covering ten days Is a task
few women dare set themselves to ac
complish.
This has been accomplished ant
now a matter of record. Mrs. Sarah
Platt Decker with an able board of di
rectors and efficient chairman In every
department of work, Is to be congratu
lated that the most successful biennial
since the Inception of* club work has
Just closed.
It has been, attended by women, In
tellectual, educated, alert and digni
fied. It has been presided over by a
president and officers gracious and fair
In their rulings. The audience was
an Inspiration to speakers and thoso
who took part upon the program felt
this close attention and live Interest
The audience recognized the quality of
the Intellectual feast spread before
them and were loud In words of praise
and commendation.
The speakers were experts each in
his line of work, bringing the beet as a
recapitulation of the two years’ work.
The place of meeting, the armory*,
was a bower of beauty under the spell
ful touch of an artist. The rest rooms
were Inviting and comfortable. Great
pains had been taken during the entire
convention to have great bunches of
the moccasin flower. Mlnneeott'e chos
en blossom, everywhere In evidence.
The armory was declared ••officially
surrendered" by Captain Kelly for ten
days, with a picked company of his
men to act as bodyguard. Right well
they served the Indies of the federa
tion, standing in lines to guide them
down the steep steps, handing them
Into carriages and leaving nothing up-
done which should add to the com
fort of thousands of women. It was an
Impressive sight when Mrs. Decker,
on the closing evening, requested that
