AGAINST OPEN SUNDAY.
ME-. Taft Said TO Be Bent on Reform
in Washington Society.

A society war is about to be inaugu-
rated in Washington against the on
saughts Of the Continental Sunday
which has grown into such vogue there
In recent years. Mrs. Taft is essential
ly religious in temperament. a devoted
member of st. Johns, and while il may
be whispered that st. Johns members
are. as q rule, prone to Sunday social
doings, still Mrs. Taft it il understood.
is staunch for the family Sunday, when
only ones most intimate friends are ex-
pectcd and no general hospitality is in
dulged in. The embassy folk observe
Sunday as a sort of diplomatic visiting
day, give large dinner parties and at the
Austrian embassy Baroness Hengel-
mueller always serves tea every Sun.

one Of the most exclusive entertainments
in Washington. OF course, social Gus
tom ia the diplomatic homes is law
unto itself, and no one questions it; but
il is undoubtedly true that the open
Sunday Of the diplomatic colony has
been largely responsible for the inaugu-
ration Of the Continental Sunday" in
Washington. which now, under the Taft
regime, bids fair to be supplauted by the
family Sunday" Of the white house
household.

The visitors had been told that a few,

a heap more fascinating to the Indians

they held in their hands, Also they
were telling each other whenever pos

excepting the one holding the largest

book nearly three hundred years

valuable volume in the South, is now
in the possession OF Prof. Paul

the Atlanta Conservatory Of Music.
The recent publication, Of a de-
scription Of an aged newspaper
caused Prof. schwarz-Wasner to
make mention of his almost precious
book, probably more than worth Its
weight in gold,
This book is an English novel.
Arcadia" written by Count Philip
sen. of Sydney, and dedicated to the
Countess OF Pembroke. The story
was translated from English into
French and from the French into
German, being, says Prof. Schwartz
wagner, one OF the first books to be
printed in the German Language. The
German translation. which was dedt-
Gated 10 Prince William of Orange
by the translator, volentinnm Theo-
critum. Of Hirschburg, was issued
from the press of Franz Hegern, at
Leyden, Holland, in 1912, and 1t is
a copy OF this edition which is now
in the possession of Prof. Schwartz
Wagner.
The volume is in practically per-
feet condition. 1t is, of course, some

itv of the material used was Of such
a nature that time has had very
little damaging effect. This book,
which has nearly 1,4oO pages, is
very narrow and is bound in pig skin'
Among its most interesting features
are the dozen or so splendid copper
plate Illustrations. These illustra'
tons are ususuaiiy artistic in view
of the fact that they were cut by
hand on the solid copper plates.
"This volume" says Prof schwarz-
Wagner, in speaking of it, has been
in my family for several generations
having been presented 70 my grallu-
father who was head forester for
Lord Gulungen, wtllemberg, by one
of the many foreign royalties which
visited the great forests in the noble
man. There are in the different
branches Of my family many won
derful helrlooms received by my
grandfather in this way Chief among
these is a Swiss clock, several feet
in height, cast in solid silver. On
only few occasions has 1t been
necessary to repair this iimepiece,
and on these occasions it has taken
several workmen weeks at time to
mend the intricate workings,

was printed is radically different from
