The ceremony will be followed by a 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. large reception, Mr. and Mrs. Henry leaving on the midnight train for the Blast.

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 with baskets doing their .marketing: In Pittsburg the wealthiest'of'the million aire city can be seen In cooking schools. 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. "VTDENCE of the unequalled skill of the expert, a taste that is ouly found hi the best, and an exquisite flavor denoting nothing short of perfection itself, are all conspicuously apparent in every piece of Nunnally’s Candy, a high-grade confection, of rare quality, at a rea sonable price.
