The Nyayit Happened.

To this day Mrs. Newcome has no idea
S why she was Immediately received INTO
New York society. IT had always heard,
she said, chat New York people were in
different to strangers and thatElt was
next to impossible for any. one coming
from another place, unless he OF she mad
some extraordinary advantages to- get
into, the swim. To my great surprise
the incest people called on me at once,
and I. feel now as if / had lived here for
years -. s:l
The friend to whom she was speaking
smiled sympa thet ically, but did not be-
tray her inward amusement. for she, too,
had been one Of those early callers, ana
her visit happened in this wise: 1t seems
that the owner. of the house which Mrs.
Newcome had taken was an extremely
popular woman, who suddenly decided to
go to Europe for the winter land leased
her house through an agent. AS she
made her decision in early autumn when
society was scattered in various direc-
tons, hardly any one knew. Of her depart
ure. and when her friends returned 10
town, they called as usual. Cards nova
days have become such a matter OF form
that, pra ctically people are always out
S(unless they have days at.home) during
the calling hours. Footmen have acquir-
ed a habit OF simply handing their mis-
tress' card to the servant at the door,
without men tioning names. So when Mrs.
Tip-top, Mrs Knickerbocker and a num-
Der of other smart matrons left cards
no wonder little Mrs. Newcome thought
society was kind! When she returned the
visits those who discovered the mis-
take wereE compare lively few, being only
the women who received on certain days:
They did not like to undeceive her, and,
as she was most winning little woman

It will be interesting to many Rich
monders TO read of the professional de-
but in Nashyilles under the auspices of
the Philharmonic Society of that city. OF
Miss Caroline Lewis Gordon. daughter OF
General John b. Gordon Miss Gordon
is we'll known in this city. She was one
OF the guests of honor at a handsome en-
tertainment given at the Masonic Temple
here during the reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans She WAS greatly
admired and several private entertain
onents were given in her honor at that
time.
The unaac line of work which this
gifted young woman has chosen as her
profession is that of the Interpretation
OF the plantation songs of the South. This
> she does in the quaintest, most inin:iable
fashion, her own sweet voice lending it
self TO The grooming lullabes, the roil!cl-
ing dance songs, the weird religious quay
erirSs-all with, a grace and d charm that
are Irresistible. And when her figure be-
gins TO sway and move in llhythmic har-
anony with 1.-THE spirit and melody OF the
air the interpretation is complete.
So it WAS that the audience at Nashville
was csptivated. The hall in which Miss
Gordon made her debut has seating ca
1,acity of 600 and this was filled with the
mos, cultured persons of that city OF
culture. 1t was a great triumph for TINS
daughter of ATLANTA, and this city is proud
accordingly.
PRETTY TEATURE.
A pretty feature OF Miss Gordon s debut
were the souvenir programmes which on
the outer cover bore 4 half-tone likeness
of the old black niannmy of the Gordon
family. together with one quaint verse of
a typical religious song among the darkies.
The songs which Miss Gordon 50 delights
fully interprets. II must be remembered,
are those she has heard and gathered on
her fathers plantation. where still i've
MANY Of the ante-bellurn darkies. These
songs have an intrinsic value to the stu-
dent OF folklore They have attracted
the interested attention of II. e. krehbiel
The leading musical critic in America, and
ii is q,:fte possible that he may purchase
from Miss Gordon the right to publish the
songs she has gathered together. 1t Is
also nossible that Miss Gordon and Miss
Scawell may together collaboratc these
old melodies: the latter as trained rhan-
list possessing the technical ability to write
! the rlsus,c that Miss 5ordon Sings ~
cllavm:ngly.
This united work OF two talented south
ern girls would arouse the sympathetic
z admiration OF a large public.
What VIII be the final form. however.
/, in which these plantation melodies Will
ace published remains yet to be determined

GOOD TIMES AGAIN


Bull fights, which are to us unspeakably
horrible were resumed, and Spain en-
Joyel herself at hern tional game, which
seems to Spanish hearts so N UGH more
endurable than the football! hcnors of
countries that pride themselves upon
civilization more modern. Carriagei rolled
once more through the streets, and the
gay tinckiings music, SO cha racteristic of
Srain,s was heard again; and there were
glimpsess of floating mantillas. While in
the poorer quarters the garlic gfeasts were
war times.
Gradually Spain became herself again.;
Spain, to be sure. without her Hamlet,
for her colonies were her central figures,
but stronger and better than when she
carried the crazy adjuncts of woe!
To-day, according to latest statistics,
Spain is stronger than she has been
for years. and happier. It peace, with
herself, She fouriskes in agriculture: at
peace with the world, she is increasing
her commerce. Quoting from the report of
Spanish statesman. Spain finds herself
to-day occupying an enviable place among
nations With little to maintain and
much to win, she is happier far, and her
people are richer. than when she was
striving after that which had become
to her the unattainabe-the keeping OF
peace in her savage islands.
For the first time in forty years Spain
is sending out, from her manufactures,
the Spanish lace, made from secret
process long and carefully guarded; she
is exporting thin silks; her tapestries
are engaged past the capacity of her
looms; she Is selling, along With Brus-
sells and France, those products which
she has always been capable of making
but which have been crippled the past
years, from national calamity.
Spain'S army, too, is growing. Her
volunteers have been formed into COM
panies which, drilled with the DID, now
form a formidable army, sufficient s to
maintain peace within her own domain
and for the dignity Of the nation. AS
to the navy, it is growing, not into a
formidable war fleet, perhaps, but into
guard for Spains commerce. and into
nucleus for a war fleet later on, II she
should care for one.
The credit Of the Bank of Spain Is
restored with the people, and by a care
fully-prepared system of financial support
it has spread its branches to all the
towns Of Spain. so that its sources OF
business and revenue are much greater
than ever before.
tSpain's agriculture is also increased
and its domestic products We're never
so fine. The south of Spain vintage OF
the past year is expected to equal that
of the choicest wine years.
With such q report as this. Spain Is
encouraged to so on to greater prosper
ity. For from being crushed by the defeat
Of a year ago, she has risen from ltS
ashes and is building herself not as
proudly as before. perhaps, put more per.
manertly, because more compacly.

These plans met the approval of the
financiers of Europe, and with such
good and speedy results that Spain was
able to secure its entireLloan for the de-.
f-ayal Of expenses incurred in the war,
from one house and in sufficient imme-
date sums to meet all demands as they
