apple blossoms, very delicate and dainty.
Mrs. Shurtleff's rose bowl covered with
bright fresh morning-gl0ries was con sid
cred lovely and called for a great deal of
admiration. Her tiny Samaritan water jar

dainty to use. The jar was oTnamented
with flowers in raised gold on a ground of
blue enamel.

table to themselves, and showed dozens of
dainty pieces Of china that could not be
too much admired. A bOnbon box by
Miss de Valen, in black and gold. with
miniature figure on the lid, was most
daintly executed. A plate, in conven-
li0nal gold design. by Miss Bacon, was
simple and beautiful.
The rose and violet tables were about as
Interesting as any In the room, as they
contained an example of the work of every
member. Each piece was either in some
shade of blue or pink, and the whole pro-
duced harmonious result

Before the train started on the trip to
Washington crowd of several hundred
people Lad gathered about the private car
Wildwood, which was set apart for the cx-
elusive use of the young princess and her
immediate suite. AS she alighted from
her carriage and faced the crowd she be-
trayed the first sign of timidity, and for
second chung TO the arm of her escort
Commander Davis So far rs her habit
was concerned she might have passed for
typical young American matron
Just nurmur OF appreciation by the
crowd swel!ed into genuine American
fhccr a the intanta stepped lightly upon
the rear platform of the Wildwood and
gave 4 bright smile and bow of aclnowl-
cdgcmei!t. As the train rolled away the
visitors turned their attention TO its APP
pointments. The luxury of modern Amer
lean railroad travel was all unknown to
them, and they were not backward in
admitting the pleasure and novelty Of the
trip. Added to the comfort of the interior
arrangements was the beauty OF the land
scape along the banks of the Delaware
and the Susquehnnna, and the many pretty
suburban homes Nesting in wealth of
fresh green foliage OH an ideal spring day,

Il sigh of pleasure that she wondered

Improbable to the people who lived in

ing Baltimore. and SO the time consumed
in the run to Washington passed quickly
and pleasantly.

SECRETARY SMITH DARED.
Angry Georgians Suggest That He Re-
sign and Oppose Livingston

ATLANTA, Ga May 2o.-The majority
Of Democrats in the State who havo
been satisfied with the old regime are
up in arms against Secretary Hoke
Smith. That gentleman has ever since
his appointment interferred in the dis
tribution Of patronage in all portions of
the State to satisfy old personal
grudges, it is claimed, to such an extent
that all Democrats are aroused, except
the personal following of Secretary
Smith and Senator Gordon. The indigna.
ton Is not confined to any ono faction,
but is general. Prior to his appoint
ment Mr.. Smith did not figure very
prominently in politics, and the Demo.
Gratis say he neNe: will in the future
Inc papsrs have taken the matter up
today and charge him with making q
cowardly, underhand fight against Con
gresham Livingston in his now famous
Congers postoffico matter. The papers
claim that Secretary Smith and Senator
Gordon long ago made boast that Con
gressman Livingston would not be
allowed any patronage At all. That
they made the fight, the papers allege,
to defeat him even in his selec ion for a
postmaster.
AS q result of the widespread bitter.
ness over tho Secretarys doings the At
lauta Herald made an attack upon him
Yesterday. The Herald is Democratic
paper, free lance, and is edited and
own, by near relative of Governor
Northcn. 1t published double loaded
editorial to night condemning Secretary
Smith, and facetiously suggesting tn at
II he had any courage he owes it to Mr..
Livingston to resign and fight the
matter in the Fifth district. The sug-
gestion has caused much mirth among
anti Smith men, as they claim he could
Dot be elecsed coroner anywhere in the
State.
The indiTna zion is growing rapidly,
ana is spreading to all parts OF the
