School Children’s Gardens —An Au gusts Lawyer's Potentialities—An Appreciation of Modjeska. The remark that the Spring Music Festival will take the place of the Horse Show is not as absurd as at first it seems to be, for there are one or two particulars in which this event of the spring hears a certain kind of kinship to the institution that is no longer popular, or that at buy rate was not kept up for a lack of interest that would financially ex press itself. Presumably we are a cultured peo ple or we would not care the least bit in the world about hearing Mad ame Eatues sing, or seeing Damrosch lead his great orchestra, but it is safe to say that there will be hundreds of people in the vast audiences to be e\ peeted for the festival who will care not half so much for the music as about seeing and being seen. It is in this respect that the festival takes the place of the Horse Snow. In the latter entertainment, the horse play ed a comparatively small part, for most of the people who went to the : show went there for the sake of wear ing their best gowns and criticizing the best gowns of the other women, while not to have a box at the show meant to acknowledge oneself a N -er son of no particular social promi nence. Everybody will go to the concerts because it is "the thing” to do. This winter the splendid theatrical attrac tions Augusta has enjoyed have en- • couraged our women to don their , smartest array for an evening at the Grand, and the pretty custom of bright apphrel will have a fresh excuse for ; being at these concerts where the dainty and bright spring gowns will ' have a splendid opportunity for dis play, and where all Augusta's little | world of fashion will exhibit itself to the best possible advantage. A splendid innovation this, adopted by some of the teachers in the public schools, taking the children out into the country for a morning of nature study close to nature's heart. The little ones come back from these out ings as fresh as the daisies they de light In gathering, and the lessons they learn are far more enduring than those they study in white and black between the covers of the book. It is an excellent thing too that they are taught gardening by beintjh permitted to have their own little gar dens in the school yards. They are taught it interestingly, too, and not as the art is taught by many parents who give the children out-door tasks in their hardest and least attractive forms, as was the case in the story of Mark Twain’s early youth. It. seems that he was sent out. by his mother to weed a certain flower bed, and, finding more weeds than flowers, he came back and asked if he might not ‘‘flower the weed bed.” A similar complaint was more recently made by a little boy who had been told to pull some rather large weeds in the yard ami who. after giving a faint hearted lift to one of them, shouted “Mamma, how do you think I am go ing to pull these weeds, when the whole world is hitched onto them?" How different the happy task of a party of school children of one of the first grades who were taken to a charming place called “Violet Hill” where they carefully dug up violet Plants and transplanted them in their own little yard at school, where they can watch them grow and sometimes pick the blossoms. What, it is possible for a lawyer to do was ably illustrated recently in a conversation overheard between two negroes in an Augusta street car. "I just had a terrible ’sperience,” said one to the othfcr. And then he went on to say how lie went so one law-yer and asked him to collect SSO owing him. He had proof that the lawyer collected the SSO, but not a cent of the money could he get out of the lawyer. Then he went to air other lawer, one with a brilliant rep utation for unquestionable honesty, and asked him to collect the money from the other lawyer. The upshot of it was that the darky eventually received just sl2 of the original SSO. "But the funny part of it. was,” he said to his friends, "that lawyer, the “COFFEE DOEBN’T HURT ME” Tales That Are Told. “I was one of the kind who wouldn’t believe (hat coffee was hurt ing me,” says a N. Y. woman. “You just couldn’t convince me its use was connected with the heart and stom ach trouble I suffered from most of tne time. “My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn’t be lieve It could do such damage. “What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form as my stomach could digest. "I had read much about Postum, but never thought it would fit my case, until one day 1 decided to quit coffee and give It a trial and make sure about it. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions. “Soon I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods w-ithout the aid of pepsin or other digestants and it was not long before I was really a new woman physical ly- " Now I am healthy and sound, can eat anything and everything that pomes along and I know thl« wonder ful change is ail due to my having quit coffee and got the nourishment I needed through this delicious Pos til tn . “My wonder is why everyone don’t give up the old coffee and the trou bles that go with it and build them selves up as I have done, with Pos tum.” Easy to prove by 10 days trial of Postum in place of coffee. The re ward is big. “There’s a Reason.” Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. THE AUGUSTA HERALD.

Her ; Lady Macbeth constrained the Thane j because she was of a liner temper ; than he. Her sufferings pierced her as finely, ne, as her Macbeth usual ly went, raged. She trod hot plough shares and almost, shut her lips. As her acling of the women of the com edies was, on the one side, the very expression of the brightness of the lyric poetry, of which they are the substance, so on the other side the pensiveness that she gave them was jof its shadow. The heights of poetic tragedy she could not reach. She lacked its largeness of conception, voice and expression. She belonged to the lyric poetry of the comedies or to the gentle or more finely spir ited women of the tragedies, to an Ophelia, in which this brightness and this wistfulness were in perfect, com munion, and to a Juliet that even in Modjeska’s fifties thrilled with the soft fire that she kept tremulous or darting in it. Whatever the part that Modjeaka undertook, she brought to it, alike by temperament and by deliberate choice, this idealizing and poetizing spirit. She was an expert technician in the higher sense—in the coloring of her tones with thought and emotion, in the implications of gesture, in the sug gestions of pose. Yet she shaped her details into a jointless and spontane ous whole. What she willed to accom plish on the stage, she could achieve with very ready and very fine means, guided and ordered by a sense of style that was born half of long experience and self-watchfulness and half of thm instincts of a delicate intelligence and a finely strung temperament. She was sensitive to character, though she had no deep intellectual penetration. She was responsive to emotion, though mighty and sweeping passion evaded her. In her, above all else, was the spirit of lyric poetry, the imagination of poetic romance. They glamored alike the woman and the actress, THE LADY IN GREY.
