A person unadvised beforehand of he facts, would be surprised at the out come of his investigation if he set him. self to the task of determining the mn- sical center of tho South One would scarcely expect to lind the people from such distant cities as Memphis. Rich mond. etc., travelling the necessary hundreds of miles in order to hear the great musical artists of the day in a little South Carolina town of only l5.- GOO population Nevertheless, this is the importance of position enjoyed by Spartanburg, whose annual May Festl- val is the ablest and most widely pat ronized opportunity for music lovers In the entire South.
 The immediate and primary secret of the towns great musical prominence lies in its possession of one of the most superior institutions for the education of women ever developed in the South Converse College, the delight and glory of tho Festival. However, emf nentIy superior as the college is in mu- sic, it is just as thorough and as great in all that stands for the womanly edu- cation of woman in every useful and lofty sense of the ideal ard the word mon thu.

GEORGE ADE,s> ENGAGEMENT.

GEORGE ADE's> ENGAGEMENT.
 George Ade has denied that there IS any truth in his reported engagement to Miss Taggart, but this denial may be one of Ade's inevitable jokes and not to be taken seriously. Recent ad- vices from Paris state that as Miss Lucy Taggart, of Indianapolis, daugh- ter of Thomas Taggart, chairman or the Democratic National Committee, will come to Paris to spend the sum mer with Mir. and Mrs. Booth Parking ton, Dame Rumor is again busy in de- claring that Ade is betrothed to Miss Taggart. The two have seen great deal of one another in the last year, and last winter the report was cur rent in Rome that Ade expected to marry the daughter of the genial From" Taggart.
 The two Taggart girls came to Eu- rope last October with the Parking tons and spent the winter with them at the villa in Capri of the artist yea der. going later with them to Rome, to be with Mrs. Tarkington.
 All went to Paris in the spring 70 meet George Ade, who had been with them in Capri and in Rome, and Ade's devotion to Lucy Taggart was the talk of the American colony They were several weeks in Paris together, and then Ade had to go home.
 I,ucv Taggart and Mrs Booth Tark- ington have been friends since they wore short dresses. Mrs. Tarkfngton was Louise Fletcher. daughter Of Stoughton Fletcher, the Indianapolis banker, and a member of one of the oldest families in the West.
 The Taggarts have four daughters, Lucy being the eldest and the most talented She draws very well, ana last winter designed a book cover for one of the magazines She is tall and slender, with very fair complexion and pretty brown hair. thoroughly refined and highly educated.-Mrs. George c. Bell, in Atlanta Georgian.
