:Rs. sABEL'S


 BEAUTIFUL LUNCHEON.
 Mrs. Nose Sabel entertained at luncheon in honor of a few, visiting friends on last Wednesday. The pretty home on Wilkinson Street was tastefully decorated with palms and white hya- cinths. The luncheon table. a thing of beauty, was literally covered in doilies, centre pieces and place doilies of ex- auisite Honiton lace. The color scheme, white and green, was beautifully carried out with an exquisite decorative finish of pale green satin ribbons, green shaded candles in cut glass candelabra and green and white candles. In the centre of the table was a piece of white hyacinths and plumosa, and at each plate was placed silver and cutglass holder containing an exquisite corsage bouquet of white hyacinths and plumosa-
 The beautiful color scheme nf white and green was continued in the luncheon in an elaborate manner and Mrs. Sabefs guests are indebted to her for one of the most delightful affairs of the season. When the luncheon was over Mrs. Sabei planned for her guests game Of euchre. The first prize was captured by Miss Viola Levy. It was handsome bottle of toilet waterl The second prize, a pretty volume of Washington Irving. bound in white leather, was won by Miss Adele Stoll. .
 Mrs. Sabel was beautifully gowned in black chautilly lace with touch Of real lace and cut steel. Miss Lehman or Buffalo wore rose satin, Miss Mendelsohn of New Orleans in yellow cloth, MISS Hirsch of Columbus, Ga., In old rose cloth, Mrs. Sam Sabel in black crepe de

exposition.
 Imagine how puzzling 1t would be to read or to hear spoken any play, Ham, let, for instance, with all the names of the characters suppressed. The speeches of the prince would not sound well If [ thought, to come from the lips of fair 1 ophelia. and the merry auips and quirks of buffoon or clown would not bent the solemn and saturnine humor of the grave digger.
 The lecturer thus iliuminates the sacred texts by comments and explanation, ana fitly illustrates by reading extracts from Micah, Hosea and Habbakuk. Tn like manner there is an exposiaion of the Epic clements in the Biblical His tories; the differences of prose and poetry are clearly elucidated; and certain parts are assigned to their places as history, drama, epic, and epic idyll. In illustra- ton of the idyli, the exquisite story of Ruth and Naomi and Boaz Is told again, and its perennial beauties are charming ly brought out.
 Fidelity of friendship and constancy of affection were never before or since set in lovelier setting than in this Bib 1ical biography, and the lecturer makes these and other interesting points in her comment and explanation.
 The two lectures constitute delightful literary studies and are valuable for pointing out these literary charms to be found in study of the sacred records.
 Miss Hodnett is of Alabama lineage and has had the benefit of travel and study uider auspices of the Chicago University. She is devoted to the noble business of education. and Is related by family con- nection to several distinguished educa- tors
 These two lectures were made under the sympathetic auspices of several of the ladies' literary organizations of this city, who thus evinced their interest in and appreciation of themes of gentle schol- arship. audiences with a few predatory sentences by Mir. c. A. Lanier.

touched. or his interest assailed The off credited politeness of the Frenchman only imperfectly conceals residue of passion, which bursts like volcano when his politics or prejudices are aroused. The American, who, as a rule Is very kind-hearted is high-strung and will invariably display an ugly impatience and haste, upon the least provocation. Yet, under all these ordeals, which put refinement and self-restraint to the test. the cultured Latin American gentleman is never otherwise than delicately and genuinely considerate of others, He will invariably put Yankee impetuosity to the blush
 saw this exemplified at State enter tainment, given at Santiago, to a. coterie of American, German and French naval officers. There was the usual vulgarity manifested, of crowding and squeezing into the supper room. but only by the foreigners, as the supreme dignity of the chivalrous Chilian could not comprehend 1t. 1t was a rudeness that simply be- wildered him. and. in decorous silence. he drew aside to let the impetuous throng surge in. jostling and crowding almost to shffocation. The quiet and unspoken rebuke did not pass unnoticed. as even the Presidential party, the toastmasters and other high native officials were the last to take positions at the banquet. In this one simple incident, one can read a great deal of the charming manners and d:gnified bearing of these people. as well as their refined and artistic tempera- ments It was a crisis to provoke strong feeling, a rudeness only too common in American society; but the ever-courte- ous Castilian only quietly drew aside to let 1t have full sway, and this constituted his only, but effective rebuke.
 Such experiences and observations were often made. during my sojourn in South America, with not an infrequent sense of shame for the exhibition of bad man ners on the part of our countrymen I was forced to the unwilling conclusion that the so-called semicivilized people of that country could give us many inn portant lessons in genuine refinement and culture. If such branches of true breed- ing had been confined to the many ad- venturers, who are found in these coun- tries, 1t would have been some consola- tion, but when enacted by those who are supposed to be among our highest

(By Andrew James Miller)
 In genuine politeness, good breeding and good manners the upper class Spanish American Is in advance of all other nationalities. In every position I have seen him. and sometimes in the most trying ordeals, where his good manners were put to the severest test he always displayed the part of a true gentleman. In making comparisons. we know that the Englishman is proverbially lacking in that delicate courtesy which makes stranger the recipient of even ordinary considera- tion. The German Is ever worse, being extremely ungracious where his pride is

MISS HoDNETTos LECTURES

All the world knows that Montgomery
 is stage-struck, play-crazy, theatre-mad,
 drama-lunatic; the plays the thing. No more enthusiastic audiences gather any
 where to witness the acting of good plays
 by great actors. Our chief delight Is this
 of the theatre There was. therefore,
 great rush of eager applicants to buy the
 best seats for the performance of Beau
 caire," the barber-prince, by the illus trious Mansfield.
 While the men were thus engaged In securing tickets for the muchvaunted play, a select audience of fair and stu
 dious and wisdom-loving women assem-
 bled Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at the Y. M C. A. parlors to hear Miss l. c. Hodnett lecture on the Dramatic Elements in the Biblical Prophecies" and | on the Epic Elements in the Old Testa- ment Histories and Prophecies" This is not theology, however much 1t
 may sound like it; 1t is the product of | study of the Bible, considered simply as
 literature. The lecturer does not seek to | impart any body of theological doctrine,
 nor any dogma of denominational belief
 The books of prophecy have been called Books with Seven Seals" and they have
 been difficult to understand until modern
 studentship has expounded the circum- | stances under which these productions | were delivered
 But the lecturer has no special doctrine | to impose on her hearers. simply treating these writings as masterpieces of the | worlds literature and permitting the in- | herent beauties of poetry and prose to emerge from her broad and tolerant | treatment.
 She points out clearly and in we'll | chosen words the essential elements of
 drama contained in the Prophecies. It is | quite Illuminating to learn which speech | and what utterances to attribute to the | different personages of these sacred
 dramatic poems. and a flood of light seems thus poured upon them by this
