Great men have had their names per
petuated because of some delicious
dish which made them famous-lob
ster q Ia Newburg, beef a Ia Chateau
brand and so on down an almost end
less list of good things TO eat Why
not, then. chicken a la McComas?
The dish which Senator McComas
most dearly loves is not the canvas
back or the terrapln Of bis beloved
Maryland. but chicken on the half
shell, says the Washington Post. II
takes an artist TO prepare 1t and an
epicure TO enjoy 1t. First of all, pro-
cure an imitation shell OF china or
porcelain. futed and tinted a rosy pink
like the real article. Into this at.
tractive receptacle place some minced
chicken. thlckened with cream and fla
vored with dash OF sherry. Over this
toothsome mixture sprinkle n thick
covering of bread crumbs In which
there have been placed some trufiies.
Then bake until the top is well brown.
ed and serve on the shell.
Future historians may not agree that
Senator McComas Is the creator OF
this delicious dish, but they will be
compelled to admit that he first made
its beauties known to the senate, and
this is fame enough. In the capitol, al
least, II Is chicken u la McComas.

THE SOCIAL SEASON.


 A new society paper will soon make its appearance in Atlanta. 1t is to be edited by two women of great social prominence. One of them an Alabama woman, Mrs. Bailey Thomas of Mobile; the other Mrs Hugh Hagan of Atlanta-
 Mrs. Hagan is a niece of the two great Confederate generals. Howell Cobb and T. R. R. Cobb. As Miss Sally Johnson. she was one of Atlanta's most popular society belles. She has been widow for about three years. Her husband. Dr Hugh Hagan, was very prominent phy- sician.
 Mrs. Thomas, the brilliant Alabama woman who is associated with Mrs. Ha- gan in this enterprise. has written the following on '.The Real Functions of a Society Paper" which appeared in the Atlanta News. Mrs. Thomas writes:
 There is a tendency to consign all pub lications centering their interests in so- ciety to a class of journalism that Is supposed to come under the head of Flour naiistic deterioration.
 There are those who have talked. preached and written against the society department of the modern newspaper, yet the higher the standards of society. the niger the standards of civilization. With
  us, cannot see why the chroniclipg Of the doings of society and the people who cop:pose it and the discussion or things that interest them can be oth. erwise than a very necessary feature of the newspaper matter of the day.
 T believe that the society newspaper has nothing short Of a mission to per world the doings of society. 1t can at the same time maintain standards and suE- gest influences that far from decreasing 70 ,s4kNy 1lNy n nOe sition of it's actions, will oa. the contrary prove the worthiness of society In it's close relation to higher civilization.
 "A society newspaper does not neces- sarily deal with society irl the sense of mere fashion "chiffen. sunshine ana champagne" but in the sense balzac reasoned when he said: society makes the man; he develops according to the social centers in which he is placed: there are as many different species or men as there are species of zoology. There nave always been and always will be soclai species just as there are zoological spe- cies.' he continues, and when Buffon de- scribed a lion he conid dismiss the non sss with word fd 1nt ana m me tSe erfe Female % of
 "A society paper in giving a story of the world of men and women m minost tns : the 'lioness cannot be dismissed Tn word" and that woman is not alone the female of the male" In this this demon sn on cfety, she should be upheld and kept up to the duties that devofve upon her, not alone as the member of society, put as The leader of it, the one to whom the world looks for the higher principles of life and living. {, "A society newspaper. therefore, as l heIieye it can be made to be, is a mirror of society iif daily action. and in its high est and best sense reflects the varying images of woman as leader and frames in the beauty without, but in the nobler beauty within"
 The new Atlanta society paper Is to be a weekly and is to be called "The So- cial Season.
