MISS GOULD’S DEBUT.
The debut of Mies Marjorie Gould
Friday evening is said to have been
the most brilliant social event ever
seen in New York. The slate apart
ments of the Plaza hotel were the
scene of the event, which was char
acterlzed by the most costly and elab
orate details of any social function in
New York for many years. There
were 250 guests seated at three large
tables for dinner. Miss Gould’s table
in the center was decorated with
white roses, orchids and lllies-of-the
vallev. in the center was a huge
rose bush laden with white roses and
entwined with electric lights. Extend
ing in four directions from the rose
bush down the length of the long
banquet table were two rows of Anier
lean Beauty roses and two rows of
orchids, so perfectly arranged that
they looked like broad bands of color.
Five thousand orchids were used on
this table alone.
The drawing rooms were literally
hanked with American Beauty roses.
11l one of these apartments Mrs.
Gould and Miss Gould received un
til 9 o’clock. At that hour the as
sembled guests passed down the line
of liveried footmen into the dining
room for dinner. The cotillion began
at 11 o’clock, dancing being led by
Miss Gould and Mr. Phoenix Ingra
ham. Beautiful favors were given,
among them gold pencils and cigar
cutters and paper knives for the men,
and for the women gold spangled
bracelets, lace negligee caps, parasols
and so forth. At 1 o'clock supper was
served in the red room, after which
dancing was resumed until 4 o'clock.
The debutante, who Is strikingly hand
some, being tall and graceful with
a piquant dark-eyed beauty, was
gowned for the ball in deep rose
satin in modified dlrectoire style,
made simply, with a bit of tulle of
the same color draped about the
shoulders and rose paillettes on the
bodice. She wore no jewels and on
ly one big American Beauty rose in
her hair. Mrs. Gould wore an empire
gown of blue satin and her famous
pearls.

THRO’ AJLORGNETTE
Every woman in Augusta, whether
or not she is even remotely connect
ed with any phase of business, even
that of making a home, should feel
strongly the vital importance of as
sisting in the movement looking to
the organization of a Young Woman’s
Christian Association in Augusta.
And yet this can hardly be spoken
of immediately as a movement, since
as yet the work has not gone be
yond the stage of Inquiry, as Miss
Adele Disbro, the state secretary of
the Y. W. C. A., who is in the city
in the interest of the work, has no
idea of proceeding until she ascer
tains positively what are the views
on the subject of Augusta’s leading
citizens, and what are the desires of
our young business women.
The first query she propounds is,
“Does Augusta want a Y. W. C. A?"
And the next is, "What form shall
the association take here?”
It is understood, of course, that the
association does not always include
a boarding home. In her talk be
fore the Woman’s Auxiliary of the
Y. M. C. A., the other afternoon,
she stated that there were four sides
to be considered in organizing this
association: First, the physical, which
included the gymnasium, board and
lunches, etc.; second, the educational,
which included common school
branches, cooking, sewing, reading
rooms and clubs; third, social, which
includes entertainments, receptions,
lectures, etc., and fourth, the Chris
tian side, which includes Bible class
es, Sunday service, missionary class
es, etc. She further stated that from
300 to 400 members would be desir
able. .
Any or all of these sides, be it un
derstood. can be cultivated, but what
is it that Augusta particularly wants
or needs?
• • • •
It will be recalled that about a
year ago there was strongly agitated
a plan looking to the establishment
of a home for working women, a kind
of club, where board and lodgings
that would be acceptable to the most
fastidious could be had at prices not
prohibitive.
Presumably for lack of especial en-

couragement, the plan fell through, j
or at least remained in abeyance,
and for some months nothing has
been heard of it. At the time that
it was discussed, however, it was
decided by a number of people inter
ested in the welfare of women, that
some institution of this kind was sad
ly needed. It was pointed out how
many girls from the country or neigh
boring cities coming to Augusta to
accept clerical or other positions did
not earn a sufficient wage to enable
them to stay at any of the higher
priced boarding houses, and that fre
quently they had to stay at places riot
1 only uncomfortable, but in certain
i respects inimical to their moral safo
i ty. In many of these places, there
! was no parlor in which a young wont,
an might entertain her callers, which
fact led to her going out of the house
to meet- her friends and frequently
falling into temptation.
Great as is the need for such a
home, it would be a mistake to sup
pose that our independent wage-earn
ers would accept charity. To keep
them from being self-supporting
would be to attack the very found
ations of their character, indeed
would be unpardonable in every way.
The plan of the Young Woman’s
; Christian association is to buy or
erect a building suitable for such a
i home, to place at its head a matron
iwho would be sympathetic as well as
| executive, and to do everything pos
| sible to create a home atmosphere,
where the boarders would have a.s
j much freedom as they would have
1 anywhere, and yet where they would
j feel that they enjoyed the nearest
possible approach to a mother's care.
Miss Disbro says that such a home,
'accommodating thirty women, could
|be made self-supporting with eac&i
| hoarder paying the comparatively
small sum of three dollars a week.
The lessons in dressmaking, in hal
ltrimming, in fine laundering and oth
!er arts tending towards improving
the personal appearance, would also
help the girls to greatly reduce their
j other expenses.
In regard to the proposed lunch
room for business women, it has also
j been demonstrated that there can be
I served a nourishing bowl of soup and
! sufficient good broad and butter for
the sum of five cents, without the
lunch room suffering financial loss.

the money for it will doubtless be
forthcoming, just as it has come, un
der Miss Disbro’s direction, in seven
other cities in her territory, which
covers the Gulf States.
But does Augusta want it?
Her business men can answer the
question. The girls who need a home
can answer it. And the humane worn
en who know the joys of comfortable
homes of their own can work for it.
