ATLANTA'S EXACT POPULATION.
The gain in population in the state
since the federal census of 1909 LIZ
years-has been 1883 people. The CEN
sus Of 1900 gave Georgia population OF
2216.SS1, and the exact figure, according
to latest estimates. is 1854, S44
The estimate gives Fulton county at ex-
act population Of IFS. 100 people. At least
90 per cent of these are inhabitants of
Atlanta, hence Atlanta's population at
present is 160,24
The federal census OF 1900 gave At
lanta ss.sI2 people.
The gain In the last 1-2 years has,
therefore been 70.S72.
These figures are based upon the recent
school census taken under the direction
OF the state school commissioners, and the
estimates here recorded were worked out
among the lines Of the latest percentage
tables adopted by the United States bu-
reau at Washington. The figures are,
therefore, as nearly correct as 1t is pos
sIble to make them. and II is believed
their accuracy WIN be indicated when
the federal census for 1910 has been taken.

AN ETIQUETTE HINT.
How TO Present Mutual Friends Who
Are Strangers.


Are Strangers.
Strangers who go to cities where
their friends have acquaintances are
frequently given cards or letters of
introduction To thus present two
friends is one of the most gracious
acts that can be performed by a third
person and is not one which should
be asked save under exceptional con-
ditions. If a person wishes to bring
together others who are strangers the
suggestion will be made without re-
quest from the one who is going away.
However simple it may seem to ask
which none can be too particular.
There may be some reasons, unknown
to outsiders, which would make it
extremely awkward to ask one friend
to go to see another, and yet to refuse
such request is almost impossible.
When one woman is being presented
by letter to another it is customary for
to write the third and tell her that
Mrs. or Miss SO-and-so will be in town
at such a time and will go to see her
She may, If she likes, inclOse the
strangers card with the new address
on 1t, that the old resident may know
where to go. Then when the stranger
arrives in town she sends her own
visiting card, with that of the friend
who is making the introduction, to the
other whom she wishes to know. The
first visit should he paid at once by the
old resident. II man is being intro
duccd he follows the same line, send
ing his visiting card with the address
on 1t to the woman upon whom he has
been invited to call. He is not ex-
pected, however. to pay his visit until
she has written that she would like to
have him come. This leaves the wom-
an the option Of refusing his acquaint-
ancc il she chooses, although such a
situation rarely occurs. On receipt of
his visiting card the woman writes
that she will be happy to see him. and
it is rather expected that she will set
time for his call; otherwise he
might arrive when she is out. If 1t
should happen that the man cannot
go at the time appointed, he should
write note explaining that previous
engagement prevents and that he will
give himself the pleasure of going
shortly, trusting TO find the woman at
home. If a man or girl has bust
ness letter of introduction, it should
be sent into the office with the visiting
card and not taken in by the person
who is being presented. The latter
way makes it necessary for the stran
ger to wait while the letter is being
read in his or her presence, while if ii
precedes it is read before he or she
goes in.

TRIPLES THAT COUNT.

and every bit of fat comes off.

Do not wear a winter suit that must
do duty another season too late in the
spring. 1t is more economical TO buy
a cheap lightweight suit rather than
risk the dust and general shabbiness
of wearing a good cloth one on hot
days.
A box of clean sand kept in the
kitchen will be found excellent for
hasty cleaning of blackened pots. pans
and rusty knives.
When the handles have pulled Off
the lids of pots or pans cut spool
in half and fasten it to the lid with
a screw and nut.
Glass shelves and towel rods in a
bathroom save the time and temper of
the cleaner. The chief objection to
these fixings is the cost. If one

often be picked up at half price.

GIFT TO MRS. ROOSEVELT.
Ladies' Of Official CIRCLE Present Dia-
mond Necklace to Her.

Ladies OF Ofhctal Circle present Ota"
mond Necklace to Her.
Several days before Mrs. Roosevelt
left the White House a number Of her
most intimate friends presented her
with a beautiful diamond necklace
which was purchased with funds rails
ed by subscription among the ladies
who have been most closely associated
with her during her residence in the
White House.
The collection of the fund, the pur-
chase of the gift and fits presentation
have all been guarded carefully by
those interested in making the present,
and it was their intention to have pre-
vented any publicity in connection
with it. But 1t has become known
that Miss May Williams, daughter Of
the late c. A. Williams of New Lon
don, Conn. had acted as the treasurer
of the fund and that Mrs. L. z. Letter
had headed the list of subscribers. 1t
Is understood that the amount raised
for the purchase of the necklace was
several thousand dollars.
The first Christmas after Mr.. Roose
relt became president the ladies of the
cabinet, most of whom had held a sim
liar relation toward Mrs. Mckinley,
carried out a custom of that time by
making n combined Christmas present
to the presidents wife. After consid-
erable consultation a gold purse was
decided upon. Mrs. John Hay was the
custodian of the fund on that occasion.
and Mrs. Root. Mrs. Gage and Mrs.
Hitchcock were among the contribu-
tors.
When Mrs. Cleveland was leaving
the White House for the second time
the ladies' of the cabinet presented her
with superb ring in diamonds and
sapphires, which has been one of her
most priced possessions ever since.
Only the ladies of the cabinet were
represented in this gift, which was
made so quietly that no one but Mrs.
Cleveland and her immediate circle
knew anything about it.

THE BANNER GIRL.
American Women the Most Charming
Creatures In the World.

American Women the Most Charming
Creatures In the World.
American girls have won the reputa-
world. This is due not SO much to
SURPRISING physical beauty as to man.
ner and expression.
The girl who has learned the art OF
controlling her features perfectly has
gained a great advantage over other
members of her sex. AS she uses her
features. so she may be described as
beautiful or plain, interesting or COM
mOnplace, refined or otherwise. This
art is almost an instinct with Ameri-
can girls.
A perfectly placid cOunteDance, rarely
frightened by expression, is too apt to
denote insipidity. On the other hand,
there are women who glory in the ex-
:remes of expression. Between the two
there is Il happy medium that should
be cultivated.
A common error into which many
girls fall is that of opening the mouth
wide and raising the brOws-which. by
the way, causes the forehead to wrin-
kle in a manner that in time scores
permanent furrOws-in order to ex-
press pleasure.
Far more attractive is the woman
who smiles with a slight parting of
the lips, at the same time raising the
brows ever so little.
To knit the brows in marked disap-
proval is extremely unbecoming, for
expressions of anger and scorn do not
sit well on a woman's countenance.

sHACKLETONs FEAT PRAISED.


StirS european octeutistSs
London. March 25.-Lieutenant Er
nest II. Shackleton's achievements and
discoveries in the antarctic region have
brought a chorus of praise and admi-
ration from other explorers, geogra.
pliers and scientists.
Louis Charles Bernacchi. who was
physicist to the Discovery antarctic ex
petition in 19O1-04. says that Shackle-
toms sledge journey of 126 days under
the conditions was one of the most
magnificent feats in the annals OF
polar exploration.
4 man working in the arctics re-
quires thirty-six ounces of food daily
but the Shackleton party cut them
selves down TO twenty ounces. What
that means. he declared, only those
experienced can understand. Two hun.
dred and fifty pounds dragged by each
man was fearful load.
Mr.. Bernacchi is of the opinion that
the geological and other results of the
expedition corrobOrate the belief that
the antarctic region was at some re
mote period far warmer than it is now
and also that the signs of less severe
glaciation show that the climate If
growing warmer and that the ice caI
on the antarctic continent is diminish
ing and receding.

RHEUMATIC TWINGES.
Before These Pains Get a Hold Take
Precautions.

Before These Pains Get Hold Take
Precautions.
Rheumatism is now considered by
many doctors to be blood disease and
should be treated by rigid dieting.
Medicines. at least in the first stages,
are less effective than curbing the ap-
petite.
If one is of rheumatic tendency she
should eat little or no red meat, cut
out sugar, bread, sweets and acid
fruits and should drink plenty of wa
ter.
This may seem like a severe treat
ment for small complaint, at the first
only twinges. Neglected, they mean
untold suffering, often complete dis
ablement.
1t would be a good thing for those
of us who are inclined to take rheu-
matte twinges lightly to recall the def
milton of the late DIR. SpurgeOn, him
self great sufferer from rheumatism
and gout, 'If you put your hand into
wise and let man press as hard as
he can, that is rheumatism; If he can
be got to press little harder, it is
gout"
Before that wise gets such a hold it
cannot be loosed, take precautions.
Dieting may not be pleasant, but 1t is
pleasanter than being rheumatic vic
tim with only oneself to blame.

To each a hanging garden clings,
With here and there a twig inserted.

More homely headgear was invented,
The poor inventor, whether man
Or woman, must have been demented
You wonder when you see them in
Show windows scattered through the

How women wearing them may win
Mems love or be considered pretty.
You ask yourself as you behold
Them on the dummies forced to bear
them
How lovely women, young or old,
May ever be induced to wear them.
But be of good cheer yet and cling
increasingly to hope, o brother!

And charming still somehow or other.

The old. disturbing, heavenly passion
No matter what the milliner
Decreed to be the latest fashion.
