MUNYON'S INHALER CT12s CATARRH.
by n card party Tuesday, given by her
friend. Mrs A ". Patterson.
A delightful and spirited game Of whist
was greatly enjoyed Monday night by
those who went to Miss Mary Josephine
Gillian's, who always has some of the
best whist players at her social fullc-
tons.
That Mrs Alfred Harris Mrs. Alexan-
der Cameron, and several other ladies of
this city had signed the petition of the
c,dSels on their own behalf, and the list
Of Washington, against the needless bru-
tality displayed in searching women's
baggage on the piers of transatlantic
lines, was quito Il topic OF conversation
during the teas and at the clubs last
week, and many travellers have endorsed
these women who signed their names to
this terse, straightforward petition to
President Roosevelt praying for relief
from the indignities to which the suppli-
cants and others have been subjected to
hy rude men. It is not often that we
find the prominent ladies of the social cir
cles in the American cities taking up
curgets on their own behalf, and the list
from Now York of prominent signatures
is long. This weeks Town Topics
SAYS. 1.-THE women of New York have
Burning sense Of indignation at the shame
and discomfort to which they have been
subjected AS an old New Yorker him
self. it is a list of names that President
Roosevelt would not find it convenient TO
slight, even if he wished to. The petition
marks q new era in the adjustment OF
public grievances, because the names at
tached are as far removed as possible
from anything that might appertaln TO
strong-minded and meddlesome females.
The outcome OF the petition will be cas-
crly awaited by women the country
over"

Those WHO are i'll doubt about tho sue
cess OF the Woman's building at the
Charleston Exposition, at which Mrs
Herhart y. Claiborne and several others
worked so faithfully, may be interested
in an interview printed in the Atlanta
Constitution of Thursday with Mrs.
Eagan. who was among Governor Chan
ller's private party.
NO one seeing the Charleston EXPOSE
ton can fail TO appreciate at a glance its
architectural and artistic perfection she
said. "While u view of the exhibits IN
ali departments impresses one with the
fact that no Exposition of The period has
demonstrated the progress of the country
along lines artistic, educational or indus
trial, the city of Charleston itself, with
its historical sites, beautiful homes and
charming people, is absorbing in its in
terest.
THE womans building is a little EX-
position in itself Of woman's progress, en-
ergy and art, and combines, with all that
is rare in antiques and historical inter
est. all the exhibits that stand for wo-
mans work of all kinds. The paintings
furniture, miniatures, and bric-a- brac,'
continued Mrs. Hagan, '.are Of rare
beauty as we'll as rare value, and this
feature of the Exposition alone is well
worth the trip to Charleston.
1.-THE women's board Of managers have
worked with the utmost harmony, as is
reflected in the absolute harmony of their
side OF the Exposition, and they are I'M
firing in their efforts for the pleasure Of
their guests. The wonan's congresses
have been under the most successful aus
pices, and representative women from all
SECTIONS Of tire country are meeting in the
assembly hall from time to time and dis
clissing their mutual interests
