Bridge Carnival

The large ballroom of the Hotel Majes- tic in New York will be the scene of the most brilliant aggregation of card players from November to November 14 that has probably ever assembled in the United States. MT. J. R. Elwell is the promoter of the bridge carnival, and he will leave no stone unturned for it's success. He an- nounces that in addition to other prizes and innumerabe high score pins, there will be two, one for Duplicate and one for straight bridge, each worth $lOO, and to be selected by the winner.
 The plan to be adopted by the carnival contemplates giving the prize to the play CT whose best five scores make the largest aggregate plus.
 Arrangements will be made so that those who take part in the duplicate games may not be prevented from com peting for the straight bridge prize. The programme will contain an announcement that sartight bridge may be played at any hour and the record kept, provided notice is given to the management, so that an that straight bridge may be placed at any vided.
 Local bridge players are greatly inter ested in the forthcoming carnival, and 1t is not improbable that Alabama may be well represented on this occasion.

The Richest Woman In the
 World

Of course every one knows that Hetty Green Is the richest woman in all the wide world. She is also one of the most eccentric. Clad in a black lawn skirt, showing signs of valiant service, a black bonnet and a black cape, with her little dog, Dewey tucked under her arm, Mrs. Green recently left her boarding house in Madison avenue, New York, for little outing at the seashore, Bellows Falls, Vt. She did not ride in cab, but spent cents to reach the Grand do. She has no automobile at Bellows Falls, no horse, no carriage, and only one poor old servant, whom Sylvia, the only daughter, took to the family resi- dence some two weeks ago. Just before leaving New York, Mrs. Green delivered the following opinion:
 'They all have to come to me-even President Roosevelt. A woman may not vote-I am not saying I want to vote but if you are woman with money. you are just as powerful as a man with money. Money Is the real power in the political situation today.
 ''The women of America have helped to make hard times. All they live for, all they care for, is clothes-the latest shape in hats, the newest fangled skirts. And they are none too particular how they get what they want or who pays for it. Oh, I am not saying that American wom- en are not moral, but do say that they do not care what price their husbands and fathers and brothers pay for the luxury and f1nery they demand. More men are driven to dishonesty by the white hand of woman. stuck all over with jewels, than by their own love of horses, rich food and gay times.
 'I hear folks say that the hard times will be over as soon as the presidential elec- ton is settled That is not true. We will not see good times, easy times, until spring. There is going to be a hard winter. Americans have been too ex- travagant-they have got to pay the price.
 'The American child is not taught how to save money, but how to spend it. Everything they want-give it to them so long as you have 1t, is the policy of the modern mother.''

HARD FIGHT COMING IN
 THE STATE ELECTION

Atlanta, September 9.-(Speeial.) )-There and hard-fought race to be decided in the state election of October ', whether the independent candidate for governor suc- oeeds in stirring things up or not. and that is the contest for pension commissioner.
 This was not decided in the state pri- mary of June l. because it had not been provided that the pension commissioner should be elected by the people.
 At the regular session of the legislature following the primary the office of pen sion commissioner was made an elective one, whereas the incumbent had formerly been appointed by the governor
 Pension Commissioner John W. Lindsey has held the office under two admnistra- tions and has given general satisfaction. but there are those who think he has had it long enough and, given an opportunity, they are going to contest it with him at the polls
 Captain Lindsey recently announced his candidacy for reelection. His announce ment followed those of four others who are now actively at work for votes. They are Col A. J. Mcbride of Atlanta, Capt. T. J. Lumpkin of Trenton, Dade county; Hon. w. A. Buchannon of Early county and Hon. W. W. Wilson of Gwinnett- the two latter members of the present legislature
 Captain Lindsey Is not really a cap tain, but has just been called so because of the office he has held He rather brides himself on the fact that he is ''Pri-

Darning and Dreaming

It was George Eliot who said that "the expression on a womans face, when she Is using her needle, tells the story of a woman's heart" .,
 This was verified recently by a little Incident which shows the many ways and means women have adopted to be self supporting. A traveller to a summer hotel from a nearby city found herself waiting for her husband. who had some business to attend to- and, bent upon killing time, she wandered around the big hotel of the fashionable resort, looking for complex ion specialist. In her rounds she saw g modest little sign and stopped. It was over a room no larger than hall bed room, but sitting in a quaint old-fash- toned chair was 8 slight-fingered, thin shouldered gentlewoman, alarming stock ings-a professional mender, as the mod est sign and piles of small bundles testi- fled. Her delicately set head was topped by soft brown hair, just turning gray.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

I Her pallid, proud face bore a look of hi- tense shrinking. She did not look up at the sound of steps coming down the long corridor, but kept on, threading fine stitches back and forth, her eyes bent closely upon her work, her thoughts un- mstakably far away.
 Who knows what her dreams were? Some hopeless or unrequited love- some angel child whose presence had been her very heart and life gone from her into the world to earn what she could not give her? Or was 1t of next winters cold nights that would find her still mending, or the next summers heat-who knows what dreams are made of? But the sweet-faced" woman sat darning and dreaming; and the woman of position took home with her the sweet remem, brance of that gentle face and patient brow struggling against diversity in this big, cold, heartless world.
