THE DALTON ARGUS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1899.
Iq the Feminine Vopld.
The advancement of womankind is
the most important topic of recent
discussion among women. In olden
> times, if a woman had engaged in
any of the employments now open to
ner she would most assuredly have
been considered unwomanly. The
field, perhaps, certainly the kitchen
and laundry, were her subsequent
fields of labor. Her qualifications,
her capacity, her necessities, would
admit of no due consideration what
ever. She deemed it her duty, “to
be seen little, but heard less.” She
had few pleasures, for all know that
pleasure for a woman is gained only
when she is at liberty to reach that
element of life for which she feels
she was intended. So it is with the
woman of today. The w r orld itself
is her sphere. In other days such
things as even women school teach
ers were rarely known. Now there
is perhaps more women than men
thus employed. Wouldn’t it be a
matter of marvelous interest to watch
the change of Washington’s expres
sion could he be brought back from
tiie dead, and seated in a box of one
of the leading New York theatres?
Wouldn’t it be pleasant to (yourself
in obscurity) watch the change of
Benjamin Franklin’s countenance
when lie glanced over a leading
newspaper? Perhaps he should say,
“Heigho, heigho! All these men
have adopted feminine nom de
plumes.” Wouldn’t Thomas Jeffer
son smile when lie read of Marie
Mitchell who was employed for years
by the United States Government as
coast survey? The first physician
would perhaps display an expression
of scorn were he to be with us and
hear us mention Dr. Elizabeth Black
well, founder of the National Health
Society of London. Says an eminent
northern club leader and very wisely
said: “We the women of the United
States have now accomplished all
the rights which we need ever ex
pect, all that we can properly attend
to; and 1, as president of this club,
do earnestly desire that we alto-
gether abandon the idea of woman’s
right of suffrage.”
Was not that a sensible statement
and desire?
One of the most noted women of
the nineteenth century is Mrs. Frank
Leslie, editor and proprietor of that
great business magazine, Leslie’s
Weekly and Monthly Magazine.
Col. W. C. Glenn, one of Georgia’s
finest speakers and a brilliant law
yer of Atlanta, now dead, formerly
however a Daltonian, in an address
to the public once said:
“That never during his observing
career had he seen a place of even
larger population than Dalton, that
had produced as many intellectual
women.”
He spoke of one of the oldest clubs
of the state, the Lesche, composed of
the brightest ladies in North Geor
gia. Os Dalton’s manifold circles,
clubs, societies that were conducted
with such accuracy as only the most
intelligent women could do. In
truth, he spoke so highly of the wo
men of Dalton that one young man
deemed it expedient to ask. if they
were young ladies and of marriageble
age.

The Dalton Sewing Circle was, last
Friday, most delightfully enter
tained by Miss Annie Loveman. Ihe
afternoon was one of some special
enjoyment. All the young ladies
had their sewing and “sewed with
the usual alacrity,” on dainty bits of
fancy work, laces, etc. The refresh
ments served were dainty, delicious
and appropriate.*
Mrs. Paul B. Trammell is at home
from a visit to Atlanta and Marietta.

The increased popularity of golf in
England is proving a godsend to the
farmers and land-holders in the near
vicinity of the larger towns. In his
London letter in the current number
of Harper’s Weekly, Mr Arnold
White states that in many cases fab
ulous prices have been paid for club
grounds, and that lands which had
hitherto been considered worthless
for agricultural purposes have ac
quired a particular value, and are be
ing sold or leased for sums of which
their owners scarcely dreamed before
the general introduction of the game.
A similar case is recalled when the
owners of the barren moors of Scot
land first began to obtain large sums
for the shooting privileges over coun
try which was regarded as utterly
valueless even for grazing purposes.

At the country home of Mr. L.P.
Gaines, near Kingston, on Wednes
day, Miss Orrie Gaines and Mr. Le
gare Walpole, of Char eston, S. C.,
were united in marriage in the pres
ence of a large number of friends and
relatives. While the wedding march
was being played by Miss Ethel
Gaines, sister of the bride, Mr. Jack
Hill and Miss Frances Lewis entered
the parlor, preceded by the flower
girls, Hallie Gaines and Norma Cobb.
Next came the groom with his best
man, Mr. Walter Hume, of Rome,
followed by the bride with her maid
1 of honor, Miss Mary Speir, of Car
| tersville. The ceremony was im
l pressively performed by Rev. A. L.
Buford, of Adairsville. The bride

while the bridesmaids carried la
France roses and ferns. After con
gratulations the guests were invited
to the dining room, where an ele
gantly prepared repast was served.
The young couple received quite a
number of valuable presents. Mr.
and Mrs. Walpole will make Charles

Mrs. Maud Wright, of Ducktown,
Tenn., is spending a few weeks with
her friend. Mrs. J. W. Green, at the
Green summer home, near Spring
Place, Ga. Mrs. Wright is a sweet,
beautiful character and has a host
of friends in Murray, who will be
pleased to learn that she is again in
the county.

Last Tuesday evening, Mrs. W. H.
Prater entertained at tea Misses
Laura Jones, Ida Lou Milam and
Lucy Jones, of Cartersville, who are
the guests of Mrs. J. A. Crawford.
Miss Eugenia Bitting, of Dalton, was
also present.

The Woman’s Foreign Missionary
Association of the Dalton District
met at Cassville, July 28-30th. There
were tw’elve delegates in attendance
who were royally entertained by the
people of Cassville, who seemed to
know their every wish and just how
to supply it. Miss Mabel Head rep
resented the Dalton branch. A large
crowd was present at every service.
Every paper and every talk was full
of interest. Especially did all enjoy
the talks by Miss Jennie Armstrong,
of Atlanta, Mrs. E. A. Gray, of
Eatonton, and Miss Emma Gary,
who has been in China the past seven
years. Rev. J. A. Sharp preached an
able sermon Sunday morning. When
the closing hour came on Sunday
p. m., every one felt that it had been
good to be there.
Miss Hattie Eldridge, one of Chat
tanooga’s most beautiful and attrac
tive young ladies, who has been the
guest of friends in Dalton for some
time, left yesterday for Catoosa
Springs, where she will remain the
rest of the summer. Miss Eldridge
won many admirers while here, who
were sorry to have her leave.

The little folks were highly enter
tained at a lawn party at the home of
Robert Gray, on Thornton avenue,
last Tuesday afternoon, from five till
seven o’clock. The hours were most
happily spent. The children in
dulged in such games as could be
tjest played on a lawn, and merry
voices and happy laughter filling the
air showed that exhilration was
reigning supreme. It was an after-
noon long to be remembered by the
little ones present.
Prof. J. G. McLellan came from
Durant, Miss., Monday night, and is
at the home of Hon. Paul B. Tram
mell. His wife and baby will spend
another month in Durant, with Prof.
McLellan’s father.

The park was the scene of a very
lively and somewhat comic chase
last Friday evening, between 6 and 7
o’clock, the most distinguishable
ones present being Willie Huckle
berry and a well-greased goat. There
was a large crowd of eager spectators
and all seemed to specially enjoy the
goat catching. Huckleberry was
most elegantly attired in a conspic
uous red shirt, black trowsers and
his head becomingly adorned with a
plug hat. He caught the goat not
only once, but twice and thrice. The
premium was the goat itself.

The guests of Mrs. John A. Craw
ford, the Misses Laura Jones, Lucy
Jones and Ida Lou Milam, returned
to their homes in Cartersville
Wednesday.

Not many people Know that the av
erage growth of the finger nails is one
thirty-second part of an inch a week,
or one and not quite three-fourths
inches a year. Nails grow faster in
the summer than in winter and the
growth differs in the different fin
gers, being usually most rapid in the
middle finger and slower in the
thumb. Robert Ingersoll once said:
“Ladies especially should, take the
tenderest care of their nails, for they
are the most noticeable part of their
hands.”

The Browning Circle, a very re
cently organized branch of the
Lesche Club, will hold its first meet
ing Monday afternoon with Miss
Allie Moore. The lesson, the subject
of which is “My Last Dutchess,” will
be conducted by Miss Agnes Morris.
It seems that the various other duties
of the Lescheans prevented their
continuing the study of Browning,
as hitherto they have done, thus re
sulting in the organization of a new
Society in Dalton.

Women, and the methods by which
she attained her success, are illus
trated by an instance mentioned in
Harper’s Bazar, where, by appealing
to her higher feelings, she was able
to win the affection of a girl who had
been sentenced to the reformatory,
and who, even there, had proved in
corrigible. Mrs. Johnson sent for
her, and, ail other means failing,
gave her a book of Whittier’s poems
opened at “The Eternal Goodness,”
and told her to go to her room and read
it. The girl was struck by the beauty
of the verse, and memorized the entire
poem. Her character changed from
that time, and when she left the re
formatory she told Mrs. Johnson that
Whittier’s poem had been her salva
tion. Later, Mrs. Johnson told the
poet of the instance. “Thy heart
must have been filled with love for
that poor woman,” he said, with
moist eyes. At a time when the an
tiquated and often inhuman methods
employed in many State institutions
are being brought to light, the re
markable success of the Massachu
setts Reformatory, and the story of
such steps by which its reform was
accomplished, can scarcely fail to
convince the most sceptical that a
little kindliness and humanity go
further than any amount of corporal
punishment in even the most des
perate cases.
