WHAT TO WEAR
 AT PARSIFAL.

The question of what to wear at Par sifal' does not seem to have been satis- factorily settled, although the New York papers-those great arbiters of social questions. discussed what was au fait.
 Ordinarily grand opera is the one occa- sion where almost un-bridled license is permitted in the way of magnificent gowns and jewels, the time of all others when a costume de rigiur may be worn.
 But the hours in which "Parsifai' is presented-the 5 o'clock performance with the hour and half intermission before the evening performance-has present ed the problem of dress. such as has never been presented before.
 To be au fait quiet dressing will be worn. both afternoon and evening. The spirit of the opera, its impressive sacred ness would seem to suggest anything but elaborate or showy dress and while the audience will be brilliant. socially. there will be less desire. less occasion for the wearing of evening gowns and jewels.

of every movement that means love of country and devotion to the flag. When men are standing with idle hands, the Daughters of the Revolution are working to arouse national interest in subjects that appeal deeply to all patriots.
 The work that the Daughters are ac- complaining is of such nature that the ridicule of certain papers in discussing the continental congresses has always ap- peared ill-timed, and as it is the press that mould to so large an extent public opinion, the result has been to place the national society in a position where the American public feels called upon to join in this newspaper attitude
 Such an attitude on the part of the press and the public does the gravest in justice to American womanhood, and to ridieule the proceedings of the society is to be dsloyal to every ideal of patriot ism

Urges School Improvement As-
 SOCiatOnS as a Remedy AN APPEALING PEN PICTURE
The Alabama Club Women Will Work to Improve School Houses ln the Rural Districts of
 This State.

Some years ago l was called upon to visit a school house in Alabama, which at that time, now, a type. found the little one-room building situat- ed on a high hill It's sides were of logs and it's roof of blanks The teacher met me at the door and ushered me into the tiny room chilled with wintry blasts which continuously swept through the large cracks. A half dozen bencnes with out any backs, were placed horizontally down the center of the floor and on these, fearful and trembling, huddled the girls and boys of the district school It was an memorable sight, and as watched one little fellow, with question: ing brown eyes, nervously rolling and un- rolling the legs of his trousers, uncer- tain as to whether the courtesy of the occasion demanded them up or down, l was impressed with the fact that un- comfortable physical conditions leave their own line of thought. The little teacher was all that could be expected for the salary received Her black dress was indicative of her surroundings and compensation.
 A few days ago l passed the same school settlement again and was aston ished to find so little change in ten years time. A new building had been erected, but with little improvement. Instead of logs placed horizontally, blanks were used vertically There was little change in the furnishing and the boy with the uncertain trousers, now lad of eighteen, cared less about his looks than formerly. l could but ask myself the meaning of it all. The answer was ominous--no man felt himself his brothers keeper

Most of them following that pit iful but peculiarly popular style of arch lecture, blanks placed straight up and down for exterior walls and roofing of any accessible material and style. These buildings seem to bear but one sign, and that is-'"ro keep from the weather" Our girls and boys are housed after the manner of our sheep and cattle. From the erudeness of such surroundings we hope to make statesmen and form gov ernments. Is 1t probable? Can the no- best beauty and the purest good arise out of what we have given, what we tol crate? We have not neglected our churches and our homes in points of beauty and ornament. Our boy spends a half day out of the seven in the church and one day out of the seven in the home the remainder is spent in the school room. Should his environments here be six times as comfortable and as beautiful as in the other places?
 It is the most impressionable period of his life that is spent in the school room. Here begins tho awakening of his senses. Would you have his first idea of color to be the unsightly, gray. dingy logs of his school house? Should his first idea of sound be the keen March wind 1t whis- ties through the big crevices and chills

THE NEW PRESIDENT GENERAL.

The election of Mrs. Donald Mclean of New York as president-general of the Daughters of the American Revolution is particularly gratifying to the south ern women who are members of the na- tional society and indeed to the whole south, inasmuch as Mrs. Mclean is a southern woman. She was born in Fred ericlS, Md, and has always claimed the south as her home, although residing in New York. She Is one of the most promi- nent members of the southern society. representing in it's membership the most distinguished southerners residing in the metropolis, those who have every right to social position that membership in that exclusive society would give them.
 Mrs. Mclean Is considered the brain- fest woman in the national society, and general the distinguishing qualities that insure the future welfare of the national society under the new administration.
 Mrs. Fairbanks was no longer eligible and no officer has seldom retired with such general and sincere admiration of the thousands of patriotic women with whom she has been associated.
 The office of president-general of such an organization carries with it dignity as we'll as responsibility. No other so- ciety is carrying on the work that Is be- ing accomplished by the national society, which represents the highest and best of American womanhood To ther' the whole nation looks for the preservation of val uable historical manuscripts, for the res- toration of the most noted historical places in the country. for the promotion of patriotism, and for the advancement
