and of Interest to their many friends
was that of Miss Phota R. Keeling and

place Sunday afternoon at the home
of the bride’s parents, on Woodward
avenue. Dr. John E. White, assisted by
Dr. C. E. Dowman, officiating.
The only attendants were: Miss Lou
la Keeling, sister of the bride, maid of
honor, and Mr. Robert R. Shropshire,
best man.
Owing to Illness In the hrlde'a fami
ly, the wedding was a quiet one, only
the most Intimate friends of the bride
and groom being present.
Immediately after the ceremony Mas
ter Frederick Hood White, the young
nephew of the bride, was christened.

A DISTINGUISHED VI8ITOR
Within the next few days Atlanta
will have a distinguished visitor In
Judge Charlton, of Savannah, who Is
well and prominently known here. The
purpose of his visit to Atlanta will be
to address the legislature, both senate
and house, In behalf of the Oglethorpe
monument fund, In which all patriots
are Interested. For over a year the
K trlotlc societies of the state have
en raising funds for the monument,
and Judge Charlton hopes to obtain an
appropriation from the legislature In
addition to money already donated by
the societies. It Is a conspicuous and
deplorable fact that Georgia, as a stae,
has paid no tribute to the great man,
and It Is believed that Judge Charlton
will succeed In obtaining an appro-
piiatlon and that a handsome menu
ment to Oglethorpe will be ereted In
Bavannah.

Alfred Harmeworth (Lord Norih-

In present day Journalism, arrived a
few days ago In New York from Lon

As la well known, Harmsworth has
made a magnificent success with hla
newspaper ventures In conservative
England.
He Is the owner and editor of The
London Dally Mall, one of the most
Influential newspapers In England. Hla
London house In Berkeley Square la
the center of a very brilliant coterie of
distinguished people, of which hla wife,
now Lady Northcllffe, Is the leading
figure. She Is looked upon ag one of
the most beautiful women In London,
and her wit and brilliant repartee are
among her unusual charms
At twenty Harmsworth was a poor
and struggling journalist; at thirty, a
millionaire and before he wns forty he
wns made n baronet, nnd Is known as

tacky, and are making their headquar

to New York In a special car from
Chattanooga, carrying a chaperon and

For three months The Chattanooga
Dally News has been conducting n
contest for "the most popular young

New York are a result. So Is Huili-

l»h peerage. He waa created a baronet
In 1904. This famous English editor
has expressed some very peculiar
views regarding the matrimonial pref
erences of Anterlcnn w men, views that
are being combatted very vigorously In
the columns of the Now York dallies.
Among other things Harmsworth said
a few days ago:
"The moat Interesting thing about
America la her women—at least that la
what Englishmen think, and we ought
to know, for we have In London tho
very flower of American womnnhood—
women of your country who have mar
ried our men, and who never come over
to tills aide unless It may bo to make
'mamma' a brief visit or to see how the
States have grown.
"The American girls like our men
better than she does the American; It's
because he knows better how to treat
her."
"I have studied the American girl, not
a title bit," continued the English edi
tor, "anil It Is after much careful ob
servation that I have come to the con
clusion that our men make better hus
bands for the American girl than your
own men. The American woman likes
him better.
"What the American woman—what
any woman likes—Is to be adored; to
be made much of—to be worshipped.
In truth, and that Is where the Rngltsh-
1nan has advantage over the Ameri
can. 11c mlorcs, worships, lavishes hts
affection on his wife.
•The American calls us a stupid lot;
he loves to tell the American girl those
stories, referring to the slow-going wits
of the average Englishman: the En
glishman may be stupid—I don’t think
so—but If he Is, Ids stupidity Is of a
sort that appeals to the American girl
i much that she marries him.
"Let the American man deny that! I
can prove what I say by statistics-
actual figures.
"While the American Is busy making
money for his wife, the Englishman Is
busy making love to his. In the last Th „ .... „
analysis a woman prefers a man who „. T „i P V .e
makes love to one who can make mon- ' a * ll ° of the diamond! their tmpor-

she marries the Englishman who makes j
love to her.
"Your men, 1 take It, are too much In |
a hurry In their love affairs. They I
■rush’ a girl. That word is strictly 1
American in the sense I have Just used
It, and very apropos ot the methods
your men pursue. The. Englishman
never rushes In anything, particularly
not In matters tllat affect his heart. A
woman Is flattered by the time he takes
In his love making.
“American men may make fairly good
lovers before marriage; they, may
shower their fiancees with American
beauties; they may atuff sweets down
their pretty throats; they may provide
all aorta of entertainment, but It la so
palpably lavished upon the girl that
aho becomes surfeited with the purely
matorlal demonstrations of the man’*
affection.
"He forgets to tell her that he lovea
her; In his business like way, he re
calls the day when he honored her with
the avowal of hla affection and looks
with pride upon the four-karat soli
taire, or the band or brilliants which
gleam upon her third right-hand An
ger, and like that famou* 'Ad,'
thinks 'nuf ced.’
"But with us It la different. A man
la more devoted after he Is married
than before, and while he doesn't buy
roses by the ton, he does not forget
the bunch of violets or the roadside
buttercup, It might be, of which he
has heard his wife express herself as
fond, on some happy occasion In the
peat—an occasion which ahe may have
forgotten until reminded of It through
the forgetfulness and sentiment ot her
husband.”
Referring to the American women In
letters, Lord Northcllffe accorded her
the highest praise. "Your American
women are today the world's leading
novelists," he said. "Take Mrs. Whar
ton, who writes so charmingly, Mrs.
Cralgie, Mr*. Atherton, Baroness Von
Hutton—ahe, too, la an American girl—
and what wonderful work they have all
done for letters The American woman
la a wonderful production, for ah* can
do so many things so well. But In lit
erature ahe I* truly great.”

Summer Experiences
of An Atlanta Woman
The following very charming letter
from Mr*. Wllllan. forth Martin, of
Atlanta who la spending some time at
Keswick, Va, will be read With great
Interest by her many friends In the
city, and In other parts of Georgia
Mra. Martin writes:
In coating about as where to go for
the summer and contemplating the
many desirable places held out to me,
at the last moment I decided I would
for awhile cast my lot once more
amidst the hospitable people of the
dear old state of Virginia—for dear I
la to me—being the home of my an
castor* and that of my husband. I am
most delightfully domiciled In the
home of my friend, Mrs. Thurman, who
doubtless will be pleasantly remem
be red by many In Atlanta as Mlsa Liz
sle Tate Gill, of Memphle, Tenn., who
waa the popular gueat of Mra. W. B.
Lowe, now Mrs. Gunter, a few years
ago.
Keswick la a noted old place origl
najly settled by the Pages and Roger*.
It I* said doubtless Dr. Page named
Keewlck for the home of the poet
Southey, In Cumberland cqunty, Eng
land. Adjacent to Keswick are many
noted old estates. The Bata of those
who have IlYed here, and nearby, is
long and honored one, Mahy names
are of such national celebrity that I
feel an account of those who bore
them and the homes which so reflected
their personality will be of more than
local Interest. Wirt to truly expressed
It when he said, "the people of Albe
merle were the society of nature," at
like the beauties of nature around
them they partook ot the beautiful In
character—
It Is here we And the old home
steads of Virginia’s Illustrious sons,
who have long since passed Into the
unknown, but whose homes are pre
served, and their memories cherished,
The noted home of Thomas Jefferson,
8 miles distant (distances, by the way,
to Virginian*, aeem of nimporte),
doubtless next to Mt. Vernon there le
no place In the United States that has
been more written of or more visited
than Montlcello (Italian for little
mountain.) We were fortunate In be
ing the guests at a reception a few
evenings since given at this grand old
place by Mr. and Mra. Von Mayhoff,
■liter of the present owner, Hon. Jef
ferson Levy, of New York, who, to all
appearances. Is still enjoying the
pleasures of "single blessedness," and
t la to Mrs. Von Mayhoff he looks to
■islet him In doing the honors ot the
home. Mr. Levy has shown his fine
Judgment In preserving, as near as
possible, the house es it was originally,
only renovating It aa to the preserva
tion ot same.
The drive to this home la over a
smooth and easily graded road which
winds gracefully around "Carter's
Mountain,” bringing t'ne traveler to the
"Notch," or first summit, almost before
he realises It. Here stands a porter's
lodge with artistic double gates
through which vehicles enter upon the
Montlcello domain proper, and aa one
begin* to ascend the "Little Mountain'
in which the manelon sits a mile
__ ive, an Immense bell that la sus
pended above the gate la rung to an
nounce the coming of visitors. Enter
ing from the eastern portico with Its
lofty Corinthian plllara and- arched
door, over which la still seen the old
English clock which marks the hours.
The visitor le here met and ushered
through large double glass doors Into
a spacious seml-octagonal hall with
Its wide flreplace at one end, as Is us
ually found In old English mansions.
Opposite the door le a small gallery
which on one side of It stands a line
marble bust of the patriot himself, and
on the other, one of Washington, both
by the celebrated Italian artist, Car
racci. Frc-m this hall opens another
glue door leading Into the drawing
room or aalon, being the largest and
handaomeat room In the house and sit
uated Immediately under the dome.
This room Is also octagonal. Its floors
being laid In parquetry of octagonal
blocka of different colored wood, which
were cut by hi* own colored workmen,
giving It a moat unique and pleasing
effect and which for skill challenge*
the genlu* of a more Intelligent race.
The belief that Mr. Jefferaon Imported
from England moat of tha brick used
Is quits erroneous: all of these were
made upon the spot by his own slaves
and the site ot their manufacture le
■till pointed out.
General Tarleton came to Montlcel
lo at the head of the English arm* to
capture Jefferson, who wu warned by
a friend, and escaped through an un
derground passage which ends In an
opening part of the way down the
tires In Amerlcus.

marked by a rough stone arch. Hu-
tory says that Tarleton wu so ang-v
on finding that Jefferson had escatwd
that he rode hla horse straight through
the house, and the impression of the
horse’s hoofs were visible on the hand-
some floor for many years.

ment hu lately been erected upon the
site of the old and battered abaft which
stood over hie grave In the little bury.

Jefferson’s home. The new monument
bears the Inscription from the old stone
which hu been piously removed to the
campus of the University of the state
of Mluourt at Columbia. He re
quested that at hla death the follow
ing Inscription be-put upon his tomb:
"Here Is buried Thomas Jefferson, au
thor of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, of the Btatute of Virginia for
Religious Freedom and Father of the
University of Virginia. Born April
3, 1743, O. S. Died July 4, 1824."
Evidently ho didn’t place much stress
on having been president of these Uni
ted States, for any who hold the po
litical string* could pull them In their
favor, but the thing he apparently val
ued moat was that he had accomplish
ed what none other had or could here
after do.
“Pantopa,” one of Jefferson's old
farms, formerly written "Pant-Ops."
from two Greek words, meaning "all
seeing,” significant of (be extended
view from Its summit, stands under the
shadow of Montlcello Immediately op
posite on the north side of the river.
In the year 1877 after the death of Cap
tain Anderson, Pantops passed Into the
hands of Rev. Edgar Woods, who had
been pastor of the Presbyterian
Church In Charlottesville, compelled hy
falling health to relinquish his charge,
he removed to Pantops, and there open
ed a smalt school for boys, chiefly to
educate hla own sons. Such was the
upon urgent entreaties of hts friends
and neighbors for Its continuance he
wu compelled to greatly enlarge and
improve the old mansion of forty years
previous, which wu, even then, In
sound preservation, though unsulied
to modern requirements. Failing
health, however, compelled him to give
up hla Increased labors, and In 1884
Pantopa wu again sold to Professor
John R. Sampson, who had for eight
years filled with distinction the chair
of ancient languages at Davidson Col
lege, N, C. Upon taking possession of
the school. Professor Sampson found It
necessary to again greatly enlarge Its
facilities to meet the rapidly Increased
patronage, and at once erected a large,
three-story building with all of Ita
modern Improvements for lecture
rooms, study hall, library, etc., as well
as other outside buildings, as dormi
tories, gymnulum, bathing rooms, un

"Edgehllt" mansion; the home of the
Randolphs, next to Montlcello In his
toric celebrity, of It I could write much
of Interest, but space forbids It will,
however, be lotog remembered and also
dear, not only to the hearts of Vir
ginians, but to the very many In the
far South who have spent there so
many happy days amid all that la pure,
refined and elevating.

ed woods, or tho ocean's roar which
calls forth our solemn admiration, that
place la "Cutle Hill.” This name will
at once recall to the minds of many
u thp old home of Amelia Rives, now
“Princess Troubetskoy,” who still, I am
told, spends a greater part of her time
there. To visitor* ta attll pointed nut
the room where at the window fronting
the lawn, stands her little rocking chair
and the table upon which she wrote
"The Quick or the Dead" and others
Of her productions. Mrs. Rives, the
mother of Princess Troubetskoy, has ex
tended a very cordlaMnvItatlon to my
hoateaa to bring her gueat to visit the
place, and that pleasure I have In an
ticipation for the week following.
I could writs ad Inflnltum of the In
numerable grand old historical homes
In and around Keawlck, but I realize
I have already wrlten at too great a
length. I And, however, the good old
"Virginia" customs are still perpetu
ated when
Gallant mirth waa wont to sport
awhile
And serene Old Age looked on with
approving smile."
