The Cuthbert Leader pays the fol lowing deserved tribute to a gifted Georgia girl: Mlsa Annie Worrlll, eldest daughter of Hon. aj><J Mrs. W. C.

So pronounced Is her popularity os a sing er that she has been tendered and ac cepted a most flattering engagement to sing for three years In one of the largest theaters In Berlin, ranking next to the Royal theatar. Miss Worrlll has developed marked talent as a vocalist, and In addition to the local training she also attended some of the best American schools. For the past three years she has been studying In Berlin, Germany, and the offer she has' received and accepted shows with what favor she la being re ceived abroad. they left for Parle, where the daugh ters are to continue their studies.

Since man flrst heard, aver so faintly, the call of the infinite, and looked from self to deity; since tho human heart pulsed to a' larger than human hope and reared Its flrst rude shrins to Its flrst crude god, thara have been many shrines and many pilgrimages. To Mecca, holiest city of alt retain, the faithful of Mohammed have Jour neyed throughout the ages, in Japan, for centuries, millions have purified themselves that they might approach the Slntoo shrino at Iaye, and yearly do faithful feet climb the hallowed patha of the sacred mountain of Nlkko to worship In the temples of Its graven which surely the hand of the living God hath planted and watered. And In days of old, three Wise Men made a Joyful pilgrimage by the light of an Eastern star, Journeying until "they were come unto the young child with Mary, hts mother.” The Hebrew, staff In hand, turned ever toward Jeru salem, and Rome early became the dea- Cut Flowers Delivered on Short Notice to Any City in the United States or Europe.

International Movement. The pilgrimage belongs also, how ever, to this twentieth century of ours, and the moat striking example of Its success as a modern Institution Is to be found In the annually Increasing throngs of Christian Scientists who Journey to Boston town every June from all parts of the globe. The occa sion ot the gathering this' year was the dedication of the extension of tha "Mother Church," s magnificent 11,- '000,000 building which has been an nexed to the great church erected some 1 Mra. Livingston Mims, who has for many years bean so conspicuous and so successful a worker' In lbs cause of Christian Science, and who has gained national prominence as a member of the board of lecturers, has Just re turned from Boston, where she attend ed the dedicatory services In the new church. When asked what - was the most noticeable feature of this year’s gather. Ing. Mrs. Mims replied promptly: "The Boston policeman would tell you that It waa the wonderful orderliness and courtesy of this vast throng of 10,000 people, and tha ease with which the visitors wsre cared for. But I was most deeply Impressed by the extent of the movement, and by the deeper nnd broader vision 1 gained of the part It la playing In the religious development of the world. Of course thousands ■ people came from all the states of the Unlot MERELY A REMINDER. We do not "protest too much" when we laud our diamonds above all others. They are proven so, and our patronage la convinced. DAVIS & FREEMAN, Jewelers. nlon. but a significant fact was that England, Ireland, France, Germany, Swltserland, India, South Africa, Haw aii, Mexico, Australia and Cuba were well represented, showing that the movement has become an International one.' But since the new church does not accommodate over five thousand peo pie, many thousands must have been disappointed In not hearing the dedi catory services” "Not at all. During the day six ser vices were held, thus enabling all tq attend. The services were conducted by tho tame readers without fatigue.". 8plenflid Architecture. "The church Itself," continued Mrs. Mims, "as one of the noblest specimens of ecclesiastical architecture, must be of general Interest. One's flrst Im pressions upon entering Is of vaatnesa and grandeur, then of cheerfulness, for splendid stained glass windows pro duce a soft yet radiant light. Aa con spicuous as the grace of Its archi tecture Is the beauty of the carving, much of which Is In rich designs of fruits, - typifying the harvest time of Christianity In Christian Science. The organ Is superb.” Absence of Leader. “Why was not Mrs. Eddy present at the services?" was then asked of Mrs. Mims. "Because Mrs. Eddy desires that no human personality shall dominate these services, but that they shall be for the worship of an omnipotent God.” Remembering that Mrs. Mima has, on more than one occasion, visited Mrs. Eddy at her home near Concord, I naked If ahe this year had that pleasure. "No." she answered. "However, 1 wae In Concord, and several times-I met Mrs. Eddy on her dally drive. She Is one of the most beloved and public- spirited clttsens of Concord. For a woman who has reached what the world considers the advanced age of If, ahe Is beautiful, and remarkably well preserved. With wonderful Intel lectual and spiritual vigor she directs the greatest movement ever beaded by eny women, and one to which many of the noblest men of the present day are devoting their 'entire lives." H0U8E PARTY AT MAXEY8. One of the most delightful house par ties ever known In this section of Georgia was that given, by Mlse Bessie Brlghtwell and Mr. Guy JL Brlghtwell at their elegant home In Maxeys the lat ter part of last month. Elaborate prep arations were made and the program of pleasures waa carried out to tho minutest detail, though entirely free from any touch of formality. The week's galtles opened with a recaption on the evening of the 35th ult., about 60 guests being present The houes was appropriately decorated, Japanese lanterns hung In profusion around the spacious verandas, tha broad halls and parlors wsre banked with rare flow ers and ferns, and all waa a typical scene bf feetlve gaiety, which only those who have had the privilege of attend ing former similar occasions at this hospitable horns can fully appreciate. Original progressive games were play ed, delicious refreshments Served from time to time, and an orchestra fur nished a charming program. Mlsa Brlghtwell waa a very charming hos tess. A picnic and barbecue dinner given at Watson’s Springs the following Thursday proved equally as pleasur able. On Saturday evening Mrs. S. O. Callaway entertained Mlsa Bright- well's guests at her elegant country home, the hospitality of which Is prov erbal. The young lady guests present were: Misses Isabelle Fleming, Athena; Lu clle Banks, Orantvllle; Cora Lambert, Clarksville; Elisabeth Horkan, Augua- ta; Georgia Boawell, Penfleld; Veasey FlUlngim, Slloam; Rubye Carlthers, Winder, and Melissa Davis, Lexington.

HOME COMFORTS. Many mistakes made In the decorat ing of the simpler homes are the re sult of poor workmanship In carrying out what were In the beginning good Ideas, says an exchange. Housekeepers of limited means often show wonderful courage In undertaking things for which they have had no previous training. With no tools at hand which a trained’workman would require, the dauntlesa woman aoros- times will undertake the boldest pro jects. As a natural result her work often Is Insecure and bunglesome. Were a little time to be spent during the summer months In studying the re quirements of the home the autumn re arrangement ot It would be beautiful tenfold. For this reason some books at least upon the subject of home build ing, home furnishing, horns decorating, and home arranging should be Included In the reading matter acquired at this time. Today the whole Impulse Is toward the well-made, the simple, the hygienic and therefore the most attractive end the best. It is the age of reviving handicrafts. And there are endless In centives in the way of literature to stimulate the amateur to undertake home deooratlon herself. If her mental bent or her needs demand this of her. Good handbooks of permanent value ■e becoming Increasingly numerous. A dosen or more volumes contain prac tical principles and omit all mere fads and succinctly Inform Inquirers along lines ot permanent value. Such books seldom come under gen eral reviewing, but some Idea of them may be had by writing for a reliable list from any large metropolitan book seller. A few practical books covering the literature of the house will prove to be one of the most real of economies on the part of the wise and enterpris ing house mistress » Elaborate clothes closets are built to accommodate twentieth century fin ery. At one side there are broad, ahal- low drawers coming almost waist high low drawers coming almost waist high and long’enough to hold a dress skirt without folding. Above them Is a shelved press closed by doors and di vided into square or oblong compart- . ments. These ore for hats, bonnets, and waists too frail.to bear their own weight. One end Is cut up Into tiny cabinets, each Just big enough to hold a pair of shoes lightly stuffed with tls-. sue paper. Such a closet takes up about one side of a dressing room. Over against U is a press full of drawers and shelves lor all manner of dainty underwear. Elab orate tea gowns and extra crush able skirts are swung to the celling upon easily loosened pulleys working over hooks. In cloeata of this sort almost every , line frock has Its own special winding sheet of muslin, soft and line. For hanging skirts tha winding sheet or, rather bag, Is bell shaped, so as to cling without crushing. Even In the simplest sort of closet, one that Is no more than a curtain swung from a broad board overhead, the careful methods of elaborate homes are wall worth while. Any skirt wears better If It la hung ao as not to drag-- The plainest bodice Is worth a wire hanger. Old sheets may save the one best gown fresh and dainty throughout a season's wear. And Instead of the cabinet presses one may set hats and bonnets In wooden boxes, neatly pa pered, and piled one on another at one end of the curtained space.' AMERICANS ARE POPULAR IN EUROPEAN 80CIETY. Advices from London of very recent date state that this has been distinctly "American" season. At court and In all the lesser functions of state and society "Americans" have been unusu ally In evidence. Thta Is largely be cause King Edward has made It known that "Americans” have his ant. proval, which Is tantamount Jo direct ing that they be feted. The arrival of the president’s daugh ter was probably the cause for this. She met a circle of her own and her father’s friends In Ismdon, and her ap proval of them gave them a preetlge TOCCOA. Mra.
