NEWS OF SOCIETY
THE “TEA SHOP”
OPENS TOMORROW
Those who have had the pleasure of
seeing "The Tea Shop," 314 Jackson
Street, are delighted with what the
ladies in charge have accomplished
in the past few days. "The Tea Shop"
opens for business tomorrow, and
every day will be open to the public
from ten-thirty in the morning until
six in the afternoon. “The Tea
Shop” is one of the daintiest places
imaginable and is all in pink and
white. The walls are hung in pink
rose patterned paper, the wood work
is all in white and the furnishings,
chairs and tables all white enamel,
the tops of the tables being of plate
glass which show the same lovely
rose design beneath. Every little de
tail has been attended to and the re
sult is just as pretty and dainty as It
is possible for skilled hands and ar
tistic taste to make it. So lovely is
this little Jackson Street store that
MRS. CARROLL TO GIVE
ECHOES FROM DIXIE
Mrs. M. P. Carroll will give her
now famous “Echoes of Dixie” on the
evening of Tuesday of next week. De

need no introduction to an Augusta
audience, she tried them on her home
friends first, and they were so de
lightfully received that this gave her
courage to go on her first trip which
as have all subsequent ones been,
productive of such delightful results
that she now has been all over the
South as far as Baltimore, entertain
ing the people in her own charming
way, and it is understood that this
winter she will give a reading before
the Southern Society of New York.
The Birmingham Age-Herald says
of Mrs. Carroll’s visit there:
“No more delightful entertainment
has ever been given in Birmingham.
T . . As Mrs. Carroll made her
bow amidst the generous applause
that was accorded her, the stage set
ting seemed transformed at once into
a drawing-room by the magic pres
A TAX ON BACHELORS.
A special writer in the Baltimore
Sun is advocating a tax on bachelors,
a harking back to the olden times
when a bachelor was not permitted to
inherit a legacy by will, which prob
ably explained, in a way. the many
married men of old. Writing of bache
lors calls to mind the homely elo
quence of Robert G. Ingersoll on the
subject of bachelors:
‘‘Let me say that I regard marriage
as the holiest institution among men.
■Without the fireside there is no human
advancement; without the family re
lation there is no life worth living.
Every good government is made up of
good families. The unit of govern
ment is family, and anything that
tends to destroy the family is perfect
ly devilish and infamous I believe in
marriage and I hold in utter contempt
the opinion of long-haired men and
short-haired women who denounce the
institution of marriage. Let me say
right hereand I have thought a good
deal about it—let me say right here,
the grandest ambition that any man
can possibly have is to so live and so
improve himself In heart and brain
as to be worthy of the love of some
splendid woman; and the grandest
ambition of any girl is to make herself
worthy of the love and adoration of
some magnificent man. That is my
idea, and there is no success in life
without it. If you are the grand em
peror of the world, you had better be
the grand emperor of one loving and
tender heart, and she the grand em
press of yours. The man who has
really won the love of one good woman
in this world —I do not care if he dies
in the ditch a beggar—his life has been
a success.” .
It is difficult to understand how any
man can read those words, and reread
them, without instantly making up his
mind’that he is going to make himself
able and worthy to ask some pure,
sweet girl to become his wife, to hold
his hand and go through life together,
sharing its Joys and its sorrows for
better and for worse.

ence of this stately old-fashioned
grand-dame. When the applause had
died away and she began her story,
“Echoes From Dixie,” which she told
so dramatically, so compellingly, so
wonderfully, one instinctively looked
about to see the Confederate flag
waving above the snowy head and
listened for the hand to play “Dixie”
—so realistic was her recital of the
ante-bellum stories, which strike close
to the heart of every true Southerner
—all so graphically told In accents of
velvet and silver by this clever wo
man who tells them best of all be

the most delicious of refreshments
were served at a table beautifully
adorned with pink carnations and
ferns, pink bonbons and confections
