LOVEMAN’S 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 BY MISS CLARABELLE FREEMAN. rand bridesmaids w’ere daintily gowned in w hite organdie—the bride carrying an exquisite bouquet of bride roses and maiden hair fern, 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 ton. S. C., their future home.—Rome Tribune. As Miss Orrie Gaines, Mrs. Wal pole, a year or two ago, attended College in Dalton, and has many friends here who wish her complete happiness in her union. « * 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. * * The remarkable success of the late Mrs. Ellen C.

HERRON, Proprietor “The Shoe Store.” 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. Hamilton Clark, of Chauncey, Ga , says he suffered with itching piles twenty-yeais before trying DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, two boxes of which completely cured him.
