HOME —edition VOLUME XIX, No. 333. 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 cember Bth, at the Confederate Hall, the beneficiaries of the occasion to be Chapter A, Daughters of the Confed eracy. Mrs. Carroll and her “Echoes!’ 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.

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 cause she has lived through them all and knows—made a story that was inimitable.
