HENRY-DU SIGN ON.
The social event of Tuesday will bo
tho marriage of Miss May duBIgnon
; to Mr. W. A. C. Henry, of Columbus,
l Ohio. The ceremony will ho performed
; by Rev. Klnloch Nelson, bishop of the
I diocese of Georgia, assisted by Rev.
. Z. B. Farland, of All Saints Church.
> Miss Nan duBIgnon will be maid of
1 honor, and Mr. Robert Henry, brother
, of the groom, will act as best man.
' There will be no other attendants, and
while the ceremony Is being performed
| the Immediate family and relatives of
' the bride will stand near her. The
bride's gown will be u handsome one
I of white chiffon cloth, fashioned with
rose point Ince. The brldemald’s gown
-Will be of yellow radium silk, and she
will carry an armful of yellmv chrys
anthemum*). The bride will be given
away by her brother-in-law, Mr. Rob
ert Alston.
The duBIgnon home, which b" so well
adapted to entertaining, .will be dec
orated in yellow, chrysanthemums to
be used In profusion. In the spacious
hallway the walls will -be decorated
with branches , of autumn leaves and
■mllax.
The ceremony will be followed by a
est throughout the country, and espe
cially In the South, where the fame
and glory of her distinguished hus
band's career are treasured as an tm
perishable heritage by the people of
this section of the republic. As the
wife of Hon. Jefferson Davis, the first
and only president of the Southern
Confederacy, Mrs. Davis has always
held the intercut and esteem of the
people of the Sduth. Her long resi
dence In New-'York' necessarily les
sened the ties of close and affectionate
relationship which would.have existed
between herself and the men and

the' employer would have some slight
feeling of security In admitting to hei
home an absolutely-unknown person.
In order to make this plan effective,
It would be necessary to rule that a
servant who was possessed of any of
the many demons that we are familial
with, such as stealing, drunkenness,
etc., and who was reported to the sec
retary, could not get employment
again and the members should agree
not to hire any one whom the secre
tary has put upon the "black list."
We have now several agencies Id
town, but they do not stand for any
thing except to get the negro a Job.
There Is some risk In engaging a ser
vant from these, as I have heard of
instances where really bad characters
have secured comfortable and tempor
ary homes through these mediums.
If some enterprising young business
woman would undertake,to form and
manage an association upon some such
lines as suggested; I believe It would
home In the 8outlv-but: It' cou
obliterate entirely,tho feeling qf tender
consideration due her as ,ye wife and
widow of one of the greatest und most
loyal sons the South has produced.
Born In Mississippi, Mrs..Davis' cur
ly years were spent In what Is termed
the "far South." As Miss Howell, she
was one of the belles of her state, and
was a young woman of bright, alert
Intelligence, trained and cultivated In
the best schools of those days. She
met Mr. Davis, who quickly fell a
victim to her many womanly attrac
tions, after he become a widower, his
first wife, General Taylor's daughter,
having died a few years previously.
Mrs. Davis spent many years at Wash
ing, D. C„ where her brilliant husband
held the portfolio of war In the cabi
net of President Franklin Pierce, and
litter represented the state of Missis
sippi In the national senate. At
Washington Mrs. Davis was the center
of a remarkable coterie of Southern
women, whose personal charms arc still
held among the delightful traditions of
the nation's capital.
During the civil war; Mrs. Davis
lived In Montgomery, and later In
Richmond, when tho headquarters of
tho Confederate government was
moved to tho latter city. When the
war closed President and Mrs. Davis
spent a while at Memphis, after the
became a mecca for Southerners and
Northerners nllke, and there Mr. and
Mrs. Davis dispensed a generous hos
pitality.
After the death of President Davis,
In 1889, Mrs. Davis and her daughter,
the late Miss Winnie Davis, went to
New York to reside, and, for many
years, had their home at a hoter In
the metropolis. After the untimely
death of Miss Winkle Davis, In 1898,
Mrs. Davie continued to live In New
York, and althdugh quite an elderly
woman and at times a feeble one, she
has given much time to literary pur
suits, those knowing her best claiming
that she largely-supported herself by
the returns' for work done on the news
papers of New York.
Just previous to her present serious
Illness, Mrs. Davis was Interested In
the preparation of'her autobiography,
which promised to be a work of great
value, both from an historical as well
as a literary..point of view. Mrs. Davis
Is a woman'of strong, aggressive per
sonality, cultured mid agreeable. As
o conversationalist, loyal to her friends
and to her convictions.
She has only one child living, Mrs.
Hayes, of Colorado Springs, herself a
bright, attractive woman. After a long
life, crowded with thrilling events, and
In touch with the most exciting
episodes In the history of the republic,
Mrs. Davis Is drifting out upon the
restless tide, which washes the eternal
shores, leaving no shadows to mar the
record of her memory. An unusually
long life, sometimes dominated by an
aggressive personality, Is drawing to a
close; free from serious blot or blem
ish, and leaving ns a worthy heritage
the record of clean and upright living
and of an undying loyalty to tire
and Its matchless
achievements.
In the passing of such a woman the
country stands with bared head, and
reverent mlan awaiting the Inevitable
summons.
! I lmve. read with Interest and appro
jval the tltnety article on '-the Servant
{problem”, appearing in a. recent edi
tion of The Georgian. In answer to the
appeal therein, as to “what shall .we
do,” I offer the following suggestion:
It occurs to me that an association
composed of all who depend upon
"help" would be i entirely practicable.
Bach member to pay a yearly aum.
say a dollar, as dues, and this amount
to bo u»cd to pay a recretary and desk
rent. This secretary to keep an ac
count of all servants hired through the
association, and the causes of dismis
sal, etc. In this way a complete record
of the habits, Integrity and'efficlcncy
of each servant would be at the com
mand of members of the association.
Then In case of a sudden rupture be
tween “capital and labor" the mistress
would report the cause as well as ef-
teft, to the secretary, and this special
servant would be put upon a black
list and could not gat employment
again with the members. In this way
it would soon be known that a recom
mendation front the secretary would
be of real worth to the employed, and
our domestic economy.
This same Idea, In a different line,
has been tried with success, and
recommend it to the consideration of
Atlanta women.

which took place Tuesday evening at

The domestic problem Is one that can
not be solved at a desk, especially In
this day and time, when harassed
housekeepers read with pity and pos
sibly contempt the words of those who
are constantly advancing new theories
of what should be done on a cold, dis
agreeable morning after the cook has
taken African leave. No one but
mother knows why father, with his
perfect horror of a domestic commo

Is because they are trained and their
