The very critical Illness of Mra
Varina Jefferson Davis, at a Sew York
hotel. Is of more than ordinary Inter
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 Im
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 Bouthern
Confederacy, Mrs. Davis has always
held the Interest and esteem of the
people of the South.'. 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' wo
men of this section had she kept her
home in the South, but it could not
obliterate entirely, the feeling of tender
consideration due her as J^ie wife and
widow of one of the greatest and most
loyal sons the South.has produced.
Bom in Mississippi, Mrs., Davis’ ear
ly years were spent in what is termed
the "far South.” As Miss Howell, she
was one of the belies of her state, and
was a young woman of bright, alert
Intelligence, trathed 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
later represented the state of Missis
sippi in the national senate. At
Washington Mrs. Davis was the center
remarkable coterie of Southern
woman, Whose,personal charms are attll
held rimong the delightful traditions of
the nation’s capital.
During the civ|l war, Mrs. Davis
lived In Montgomery, and later in
Richmond, when the headquarters of
the Confederate government was
moved to th^ latter city. When the
war closed President and Mrs. Davis
spent a while at Memphis, after the
formers liberation from Fortress Mon
roe, later making their home at Beau
voir, Mies., the beautiful estate pre
sented t6 President Davis by Mrs.
Dorsey. Beauvoir for several years
became a mecca for Southerners and
Northerners alike, and there Mr. and
Mrs. Davis dispensed a generous hos
pitality.
After the death of President Davffer,
In 1869, Mrs. Davis and her daughter,
the late Miss Winnie Davis, frent to
New York to reside, and, for many
years, had their home at a hotel In
the metropolis. After the untimely
death of Miss Winnie Davis, In 1898,
Mrs. DpvIs continued to live In New
York, and although quite an elderly
woman and aftlmes p. 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 newa-
>ers of New York,
ust 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 and agreeable- As
a conversationalist, loyal to her frlenda
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
dose; free from serious blot or blem
ish, and leaving as a worthy heritage
the record of clean and upright living
and of an undying loyalty to the South
and Its matchless traditions and
achievements.
In the passing of such a woman the
country stands with bared head, and
reverent mien awaiting the inevitable
summons.

IVY-NEVILLE.
A wedding of interest to a wide cir
cle of friends In Georgia and Alabama
was that of Miss Julia Neville to Mr.
Paul H. Ivy. of Birmingham. Ala.
which took place Tuesday evening at
the home of the bride.
The ceremony wns performed by Rev.
J. W. I.ee, nnd the only attendants
were Miss Reble Workman and Mr.
Earl Moore Ivy.
The bride wore a gown of white rhlf-
fon cloth, trimmed with rose point lace,
her veil fastened with orange blos
soms. Her bouquet was of bride roses.
The decorations were entirely In
white and green, white roses and as
paragus ferns being used profusely.
The marriage was witnessed by only
a small number of Intimate friends of
' I have read with Interest and appro
Jval the llhiely 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 otter the following suggestion:
-Jt occurs to me that an association
composed of all who depend upon
"help" would be entirely practicable.
Each member to pay a yearly sum.
say a dollar, as dues, and this amount
to bo used to pay a cecretary and desk
rent. This secretary to keep an ac
count of all uervants hired through the
association, and the causes of dismis
sal, etc. In this way a complete record
of the habits, Integrity and efficiency
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
fect, to the secretary, and this special
servant Would be put upon a black
list and' could not get employment
again with the members. In this way
It would soon be known that a recom
mendation from the secretary would
be of real worth to the employed, and
the employer would have some slight
feeling of security In admitting to her
home on absolutely unknown person.
In order to make this plan effective,
it would be necessary to rule that a
servant who was possessed of any ol
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."
Vie 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 os suggested, I believe it would
pay her and grow to be a great factor
In our domestic economy.
This same Idea, In a different line,
has been tried with success, and I
recommend It to the consideration of
Atlanta women.
A Cook! A Cook! My Kingdom for a Good Cook!
By MRS. J. O. PARMELE.
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
ol’ 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 iris
perfect horror of a domestic commo
tion, is In such an unusual hurry to go
to his office; no one but mother knows
the tragedy that a tardy mark brings
to the heart of a little one.
The packing trust Investigation may
have saved the lives of many, but It
has also brought many a sigh to the
kitchen table as a housekeeper thinks
of the bread and canned goods lunches
that are no more. The Northern wom
an, with her German servants and her
Mrs. Rorer rules' and regulations, has
ns much to annoy her—so she says—
as does the Southerner with her Nan
cy, who Is from a cotton field or from
a kitchen Where It made no difference
how ahe prepared a meal or kept her
kitchen. Just so she had something to
eat and on time. Why have German
girls the advantage of others In do
mestic service? They are not stronger
physically than our colored women. It
Is because they are trained and their
mistresses are trained. Go to Wash
ington and see the leading women of
that most Interesting and cultured city

Pittsburg the wealthiest'of'the million

sitting at their miniature ranges work
ing diligently under a teacher's in
struction.
It Is Just as necessary to have a
competent manager In the drawing
room as It Is In the kitchen. House
keeping Is a business, a profession, and
the woman who knows how to manage
and direct her household can accom
plish far more with an Incompetent
servant than an Indifferent, negligent
woman can with an efficient one.
The South Is the home of the negro,
and so long as he remains In the South
he will be our servant. A practical
cooking school Is an Atlanta necessity,
and It does seem that with so much
progress and Atlanta spirit, something
could be done to add more peace and,
comfort to the home. What does it
profit a woman to gain. * nome In
Peachtree If she has to hear the kitch
ens wall from morning till night. In
the beginning, a cooking school will bo
patronized by mothers and daughters;
and who knows to what It may lead In
future? As membership fees and dona
tions from grateful husbands Increase,
why not have a similar school for good,
honest negroes who wlgh to learn
something of domestic science from an
Intelligent standpoint? The men of At
lanta meet and discuss matters of pub
lic Interest, and the women should do
likewise. Let them meet and discuss
the mastering of conditions Instead of
rebeltlously submitting.
Importing German girls and export
ing our servants may be done, but It
Is not wise to await the day. Take the
material that you have and make the
best of It.
