After some preliminary work by the executive committee, the convention was called to order, minutes read, etc. A very fine talk by Mrs. L. A. Dillard, president of the LaGrange union, proved to be • a little gem, full of the wisest sugges tions on "How to Make Our Meetings Interesting." Mrs. Dillard Is a ready off-hand speaker, and she Is always heard gladly and with profit. Following this little speech were the reports of the county presidents. This part of the program was not full, ow ing to the absence of many of the of ficers. All of the reports given were full of encouragement and Interest. Mrs. J. L. Bradford, of LaGrange, sang a solo, “Not a Sparrow Fall- eth," delightfully. talk on temperance work among the colored people was made by Mrs. E. P. Morgan, of Amerlcus. Following this talk were two-mlnute talks on "How to Do W. C. T. U. Home Mission Work” by fifteen of the members In the unions over the state. These talks were to the point, forcibly nnd well given. This session was In teresting and characterised by the same spirit of the morning hour. Tuesday evening exercises of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union came near being broken up by a fall ing rain; but In spite of the downpour, a good audience was on hand, and there was n treat for all who came. After the convention was called to order by Mrs. Jennie Hart Sibley, Rev. J. G. Herndon, pastor of the LaGrange Presbyterian church, read a Scripture lesson and offered prayer. Then the mayor of LaGrange, Mr. J. D. Ed mondson, made a fine speech of greet ing, extending the warmest welcome to all, and with beautiful words of encouragement about the work of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Rev. Fletcher Walton, of the First Methodist church, made one of his best talks In behalf of the churches, giving points of history about the temperance work before the union took It up. The annual address of the president, Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, was Indeed the treat at the evening. It was able and eloquent and earnest. Wednesday morning found the mem bers of the convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union In their places bright and early, and ready for work. Everywhere were beautiful banners and varl-colored cards and unique Invitations, gotten up In most artistic fashion, on large cardboards— these to be put up In public places to catch the attention of the public and Invite theth to the meetings.

Baird entertained her bridge club Thursday morning at her Work,” which was listened to. with closest attention and heartily Indorsed. The next paper was read by Miss Ruth Dodge. Her paper was entitled “Our Pledge and What It Means to Us.” She met promptly and ably all objections that may be urged to taking pledges, and showing conclusively how helpful they are when sincerely entered Into. She said God Himself pledges to His people what He will do for us—a line conclusive argument. There was a motion Immediately made and adopted to have this excellent paper published In The Bulletin, the state organ of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Just here Mrs. Jennie Hart Sibley arose and read the following telegram, ad dressed to Mayor Woodward, of At lanta, asking for Its adoption by the convention, which was promptly and enthusiastically done: "To Mayor Woodward, Atlanta, Ga. "Greetings: We, the Georgia Tem perance Christian Union, In session, do praise the Lord that by your act of closing the saloons you have declareu the saloon to be a menace to peace, the hotbed of anarchy, crime and blood shed. Our prayers ascend for their permanent closing and for God’s pro tection and peace in our Capital City."

Barnet, of Newnan, Ga.; "Pictures In the Home," by Mrs. Frank Har well, of LaGrange, and “Good Books In the Home," by Miss Marllu Smith, of LaGrange.

It was a quiet home wed ding nnd only a few Intimate friends nr the family were Invited. The decora tions throughout the home were ap- New York. Sept. 27.--There Is ope comfortable thing about the re cent tendency to eliminate season lines to a great extent In so far as ma terials are concerned, and to make all wool and silk fabrics so soft and supple that they are as appropriate for summer as for winter, an! may be used Interchangeably. The frock of crape, voile, silk mousseline, chif fon cloth, etc., made for summer wear, will now re-enforce a winter ward robe in most satisfactory fashion, and that fact Is a blessing to the woman of few clothes. The sleevesless, low-cut bodices of the summer, worn over short sleeves and gulmpe of lace or other fllmy stuff, will have their echoes In dressy winter gowns, and already some of these models are being modified and reproduced In crepss, soft silks and silk voiles, etc. Or If by chance they were originally made In such materials they will be altogether appropriate for the corning season. PLAID8 AND TAFETA8. In certain trig little walking costumes of mixed tweed or serge of neu tral tone, waistcoats of Scotch plaid are used with resultant smartness and gray cloth embroidered In little steel beads often forms the waist coats for the tailored costume. Very high girdles closely fitted and taking on a waistcoat effect by buttoning across In double-breasted fashion with handsome buttons are seen even upon very dressy frocks In beautiful brocades of plain silks, and this same Idea Is developed In connection with some of the new three-piece costumes for street wear. To trim cloth with taffeta of a same shade Is not exactly a new fasblon, but It Is a fasblon that has suddenly been revived and many of the new gowns are made up with this sort of trimming. Embroidered taffeta com bined with English embroidery, the open-work and eyelet hole kind, is the most expensive and effective, but another trimatof offered Is a Side pleat ing covered with French knots of the same shade of silk as the taffeta. A gray gown, for Instance, Is trimmed with these bands of pleated taffeta about three or four Inches wide, and Is heavily embroidered with the French knots. It Is an odd style of trimming, and in this case the oddity makes It smart and popular. BLACK8. That black will be extensively worn seems to ba established beyond a shadow of doubt, and not only In. broadcloth and other heavy woolens, but In silks and In sheer stuffs the. supply of black seems practically endless. In line with the black materials comes such an assortment of black luces as has not been seen before, a fact proving the faith of manufacturing circles In the vogue of black. Black silk renlse and black silk cluny ere offered in beautiful designs and In all Imaginable forms, and for trimming the sheer black materials coma black silk point de gaze and many embroidered net laces. A host of combination laces In black silk, often uniting four or five heavy and fine laces In one design, are also In evidence. • , • LACE8 AND TRIMMING8. In white laces there Is so far nothing strikingly new, and the heavy Irish and yenetlan varieties bid fair to retain their prestige, novelties In lace being embodied In combination laces rather than In separate and In Individual varieties. The showing of gausy materials, embroidered .tulles and nets, silk gauzes, silk moussellnss, chiffon cloths, and the slightly heavier yet still goaaamer-llke stuffs, such as silk voile and silks of the radium order, Is really amazing; and for evening and house wear these shimmering trans parent or semi-transparent stuffs will be tremendously popular. The em broidered tulles and nets will be lavishly used, too, as trimmings, being In troduced even upon broadcloth and heavy silks. The stripes, gauzes, chiffons, etc., are particularly pretty, and there Is a pronounced fancy for such semi-transparent striped effects In. contrasting weave or fabrics, but in ont tone. FR0CK8 FOR CHILDREN. There are no costumes for children more suggestive of Infantile charm than those made of white lingerie materials. These dainty washable toilets show many exquisite details, and In the well-heated American houses they are oftfcn carried over all winter for house wear. Under-slips of tinted or white flannel, or maybe of silk, make them possible for the coolest days, end there Is an elegance about them that non- washable stuffs, however rich, never could achieve. So admired are these costumes. In fact, that of late seasons It has been the thing to make up many lightweight winter textiles on lingerie lines. Wash embroideries and laces are employed with thin lawn for the gamps of low frocks, this white, fresh note given a most pleasing touch. A dress for a girl of eight Is of dull blue rajah, with pointed yoke of the same In open embroidery. A sash of the knotted silk girdles this smart, long-bodlced' dress at the side, and the sleeves are short elbow affairs In fine kilting and embroidery. Dull red cashmere with a yoke of white silk braided and embroidered in red, accomplishes another smart gown for the same age. The very short skirt of this Is In scallops above a frill fall, a band of braid and embroidery outlining the scallops. An empire bodice Is stimulated by the shirring of the bodice, this then edged with a double frill. The long sleeves are shirred at the forearm and In fluffs above. propriate and profuse. Misses Marls Harber and Ruth Stark acted as rib bon-bearers; Miss Ruth Harber, a sis ter of the bride, was maid of honor, and Mr. Ernest Porter, of Atlanta, was best man. Messrs. John and Paul Har ber acted as ushers, and Miss Luclbtl rendered Mendelssohn’s ■ wedding march. After the ceremony was per formed by Rev. D. J. Blackwell, pas tor of the Presbyterian church, the wedding party enjoyed a 3 o'clock din ner. Mr. Porter Is a prominent young man, both In social and business cir cles In Atlanta, and Miss Harber Is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. D. Harber, one of Commerce's leading business men, and Is very popular. They will make their home In Atlanta, where Mr. Porter Is connected with the Southern railway. ATLANTA PRIMARY UNION.
