That wondrous statues Of her votaries grace;

THE GIBSON YOKE.

Summer gowns which usually begin
to look faded when the season is so
far advanced are enabled to retain
their pristine freshness by means of a
very dainty new accessory Of dress
the Gibson yoke. In the Gibson shirt
waists the plaits were very wide at
shoulders and narrowed to nothing
ness at the belt-line; the Gibson yoke
reverses this order somewhat mas
much as the narrowness is effected at
the throat in a smart, but very slen-
der stock. Both yoke and stock are
made in one piece, but there is no
limit to the materials which one may
use to gain such an arrangement.
One very pretty effect, however, dis
plays a yoke of pale blue crepe de
chine striped with quipure lace, the
lace being graduated IN accommoda-
ton to the tapering effect at the
throat. Around the lower edge of the
yoke there is an applique OF the same
lace encrusted with mock pearls and
corals, giving a very stunning effect

POWELL-HACKNEY.

A wedding of Importance in New
nan and of interest throughout the
state was that of Miss Fannie Lou
Hackney and Mr.. Raphael Powell.
The event took place Wednesday even
ing at the residence of the brides ia
ther Mr.. R. M. Hackney, on Green
vile street, Newman, in the presence
of many relatives and friends. Rev.
DR.. White officiated. The following
interesting account of the ceremony
is from the Atlanta Constitution:
The house was decorated through
out with palms and ferns and white
carnations, this combination of white
and green being carried out in every
detail of the wedding. In the drawing
room, where the ceremony was per-
formed, the decorations were most eff
fective. Festoons of smilax swung
gracefully from the molding overhead,
while garlands of the same were en-
twined about the windows, doorways,
mantelS and cabinets. A massive en-
bankment of palms and ferns formed
fitting background for the bridal
party. The bridesmaids wore toilettes
of fluffy white chiffon with green
Floradora sashes. They carried bou-
quets of white carnations. The bridal
party entered the room in the follow
Mr.. Albert Winn of Atlanta; Miss Nell
Galloway, with Mr.. Thomas PARROT;
Miss Corille Hardaway, with Dr. w.
A. Turner. Then entered the groom
with Mr.. j. p. Bradley. The maid of
honor, Miss Julia Mae Hackney. be-
comingly gowned in green silk null,
preceded the bride, who entered on
the arm of her brother, Mr.. w. H.
Hackney of Atlanta. Never did the
rare beauty of the bride appear to
better advantage than in her exquis-
lite robe Of white mousselaine, with
soft trimmings of lace. Her tulle veil
was adjusted with orange blossoms
and she carried a shower bouquet of
the same delicate flower"
Mr.. Powell has recently come to Sa-
vannah to reside. He holds a position
with the Virginia-CaroIina Chemical
Company.
The bride is one of Newnan's pref
test and most attractive young wo-
men.

SCHEMES TO GET CHARITY MONEY

To obtain money for charitable pur-
cessful, and many unique ideas are
developed from time to time.
About the strangest on record for
it's simplicity and success. says a
writer in the New York Herald, was
one recently originated among some
of the saloon-keepers in the East End
Of London.
On the ceilings of these saloons
above the bar a visitor saw scores of
odd-looking little tufts of paper. A
ed the fact that each tuft contained
q coin, and in some cases two, which
had been thrown up to the ceiling as
hospital donation.
The manner in which the coins were
affixed to this strange place was ac-
complished as follows: The publican
selected three pieces of colored tissue
paper, and arranged them with three
corners together. A long carpet tack,
piercing a thin piece of cork, was then
put through the corners of the three
papers, which were twisted round the
coin laid on the back of the cork. BY
Sharply tossing II 10 the celnng the
tack could be made to pierce it, the
coin remaining in the paper. Natur-
ally, the curiosity of many customers
prompted them to try their skill and
at the same time help to swell the
hospital funds.
When the ceiling had been covered
and there was room for no more coins.
the publican would send along to the
hospital for which he was collecting
the money and ask for a man to come
and take the coins The scheme

There are many uses TO which I'D
pen nibs are put, but it is seldom that
one hears of them in connection with
scheme for hospital support. At
Munich, in Germany, however, there
is a hospital which is entirely sup
ported by the sale of old pen nibs col
lected from all parts of the country.
They are made into knives, razors,
scissors, ETC., and the proceeds are
said to be sufficient in themselves to
provide for a hospital.
Actresses in this country are gener-
ally found to be quite willing to assist
in the cause of charity, either by TAX
ing charge of a stall at a bazaar or
lending their services in other ways

would be found bold enough to imi-
tate the example of Mile. Mini Buffet.

singer, who some time ago sang as an
amateur beggar in the courtyards Of
Partisan houses for the sake of char

Buffet secured more money for the
charity in which she was interested
than dozen bazaars would probably
, have done.

Methodist Church at Overton, near

thousand, which were placed in and
