Short costume coats and half long ones
are now firmly asserting themselves. AT a
matinee a few days ago a group Of three
sWagsar women wore short coats, all differ
ing in form. One OF these. garment OF
pale gray satin faced cloth, which could
have been dared only by youthful slender
ness hung in straight loose chemiseliIe
lines little below the hips. flaring ever so
little al the hem and dropping at each side.
The sleeves were gathered into the arm
holes and into the deep straight cuffs and
had 6 bit OF chinchila fur for trimming,
v ith large silver buttons. More of the but
tons. set in two clusters of three. closed the
garment at one side. The neck was fin
ished plain, but worn with it was an ad-
Unstable cravat of the fur, and a huge fiat
chfnchilla muf was carried. Like all the
latest skirts the worn with this coat
WAS extremely short, showing the whole Of
the feet. Standing, it clung closely; walk

IN the middle of the back disclosed them
selves.

second coat was short il barely covered

a cluster OF passementerie ornaments;
then the loose fronts swept to one side to

oTnamented with passementerie buttons and
cord loops above band of fur. The short
and perfectly plain skirt which completed
the costume was gathered slightly to a
round waistline.
The third costume was of marine blue
and had a fascinating skirt. Smoothly fit
ted over the hips and fl@rlng below. the
fulness between the knee and ankles was
gathered under a straight six-inch band
of the serge, into q space that barely al
lowed a step of medium length. Half long
and half fitted, the coat closed at the
throat and swept at once TO one side into
a curving line reaching nearly to the mid
die Of the back. The sleeves, which were
plain at the top and gathered below the ell
bows into pretty, curving cuff, little
open al the back and trimmed with but
tons, were cut in one with the shoulders
and set into a wide armhole.

CARE OF THE PIANO.
Ways of Saving This Sensitive Instru-
ment from Injury.

In many households there is not a piece
of furniture that is more sorely neglected
than the piano. Any one who has ever
studied the construction OF pianoforte
knows that It's mechanism is most delicate,
intricate and sensitive. 1t is no wonder,
then. that it requires a great deal of care.
and suffers severely from neglect
Some people think that they are treating
their piano well if they have it tuned once
or twice a year. 1t should be tuned at
least four times TO prevent loss of pitch
and should be kept al concert pitch all the
time. To raise or lower it a half tone
means to spoil 1t irremediably say the au-
thorities.

out who assist at other debutante teas
and fit about like Greuze pictures in their

SUCCESS In SMILES
WAY TO MANS HEART

We often win success with the weapon
Of smile. The road TO mans heart and
to won,an's fortune sometimes lies in the
light of a smile. now cult teaches that
ono has only to sit up and look pleasant
10 obtain pretty much everything worth
while possessing in life. Health and happi-
ness which elude the utmost endeavors Of
many OF us TO hold in trrall, we are assured
may be won and kept by smile.
Advancement in business Is measured by
the quality and variety OF our smiles. A
fellow being can 30 cheered to living, and
one may prolong his own life by merely
smiling. These and many other facts are
brought out relative TO school for smiling
established in Paris.
The Trenchwoman is nothing If not prac-
tical. 1t took Frcnchwohlan to reduce to
a practical science. with commercial
value, the gentle art OF smiling. There
is much TO learn about this pleasing
little contortion of visaEe. a grin is
not synonymous with smile, nor
does simper rank in the same cate
CORY or convey the same meaning.
A widening OF the mouth has not the sig
nificance one seeks in smile. and laughter
is a thing often associated with but dis
tinct from It, One is an irresistible express
sion Of excited risibes-the irrepressible
overflow of mirth--or a vOcalizatiOn of
anger irony or contempt. 1t Is product
of the emotions. The other is more deep
" seated in the feelings, and, when spon-
tsneous more certainly serves as an index
to character. 1t is not always spontane-
GUS Alas, ii may never be so again
The school for smiling consciously in
structs in methods of producing smiles
adapted 10 all purposes and suitable for
every occaS sion. UnconscioGsiy. perhaps, 1t
inculcates deception. and, upon necessity. in
the smile of its graduates deceit is as likely
to lurk as u1irth. tenderness. pleasure or
sympathy. The dimpled radiation which
betokens a gay. untroubied mind has al
most the charm of the smile that belongs
TO happiness, and both are invariably the
possession of youth. Older people are wont
to take their joys more soberly, unaware
that the outward and visible sign OF smile
is necessary to their wellbeing as sun
shine is to that OF a flower. There are
organisms which can exist only in the light.
Within US are organisms whose presence is
necessary to health. These need the illunli-
nation OF smile and the exercise of laugh
ter to keep them In healthy condition.

My Dear Sir:-As every little up
start feels that he does not only
know how to run his own business,
but everybody else's, and I am no
exception to the rule, let me show
you your mistakes. | think you
Numbered when you allowed Bro. J.
E. Spiller to spill two columns of
preach in The Jeff. If that was the
end Of it, it would not amount to
anything, but there is not little one
horse preacher in all the land but
what would like to make a display of
his ability Of splitting about two col
umns of preach in The JEFF. Now,
Brother Spillers spill was a dry bone
read Rom. 10: 14-15-16. AS l un-
derstand, you are not fighting the
godly part of mission work; it's the
devils part that you are trying to
stop, and I say amen. Now, you will
have to choke off these little know-all
preachers or just turn The jeff into
a preach journal, they never know
when to stop. So, you see, | come to
advise you-just another young Solo
mon, though [ know more than the
old one, in my own estimation.

his father, as their initials are the

S. A., Sr., was a physician, and
our family had the good fortune to

family at the time lived in Cairo,
then Thomas county. John Rodden-

DR.. S. A. was quiet, unassuming,
easygoing, heightened Christian gen

work, good pile of this worlds

always, and, really, it seemed at that
time everything he put his hand to

If S. A, Jr., is a failure, he hasn't

THOUGHT t. e. w. AN 'TNFIDEL."

Dear Mr. Watson:-I feel like 1
ought to write you a short letter,
though | am afraid | can not give the
subject justice on which | write.
l have been watching, with great
interest, your attacks on some of
those who are going wrong, and es-
pecially your attacks on Foreign Mis-
sions. 1 believe you are on the right
side, and you are gaining a victory
every day you are giving them the
truth, and that's what hurts, other
wise they would not pay any atten-
ton to your attacks. Some time ago
[ was talking to young lady, who is
preparing to enter the Foreign Mis-
sion field. I mentioned your name,
and she said she had heard of you,
and ''he's an inf1del, isn't he?"

ing represented in the pulpit. I

PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP ON
MISSION QUESTION.

Dear Mr.. WatsOn:-I am with you
on the Foreign Mission question, and
am with you on the Socialist ques-
ton, too. | sure enjoy your writings
on Foreign Missions, you sure hit the
nail on the head every time. Almost
every time [ go to preaching I am
sure to be begged for money for For
eign Missions, but in reply to them l
say: brethren, we have more mission
work at home than we can we'll look
after. Mr.. Watson, keep on writing
them up, you are doing worlds of
good; you are opening the eyes of
the people-you sure put me on the
right track on the mission question,
and several more people l know of.
Keep rolling the ball of Jeffer-
sonian Democracy along; you are
gaining ground every day. l am
dyed-in-the-WoOl Populist, and have
been ever since l have been twenty
one years old. I heard you address
the people in Dublin, Ca, in 1908. I
found out then that you were the
poor mans friend. The money pow
er hates you because you let the peo-
pie know what they are doing. Say,
[ have always voted for William
Brantley for Congressman every time
he ran, but never expect to again.
Why? Because my eyes have been
opened the way he voted against we
Southern poor people. And you were
my eye-opener, Mr.. Watson. I take
both Of your Jeffersonians, and
would not be without them. They
refresh me every time they come.
Mr. Watson keen on every thing is
coming your way by and by, the peo-
pies eyes are being opened very fast.
Wishing you long, happy life,

WANTS FAIRBANKS FOR PRESI-
DENT OF U. S.

Dear Mr.. Watson II feel a bit of
comrade sentiment for you; because
we are both fighting the same enemy
Nothing harder to contend with in
this world than ignorance and SUI
perstitiOn-tWin brothers!
Sunday before last | read before
The Secular League" of this city a
ten-minute essay on the beginning of
the Roman Hierarchy. | have traced
1t to Numa POmpiIius, second king
OF Rome. | shall look eagerly for
your May number. | wish Fair
banks could be nominated for Presi-
dent in 1912, with you as Vice
President; for that would probably
bring on a straight religious issue;
and, as it seems sure to come some
day it would be most advantageous
to Liberty, I think, to have it now.
The Pope now holds the balance of
political power here, and will as long
as the two old parties are so nearly
equal. He can throw his two mil
lion voters to either side, and thus
elect his man. This condition keeps
both parties bidding for his help.
The Republicans have already given
many millions of our gold to this
hierarchy to buy votes against the
Democracy, and will continue to
give, thus establishing that reli-
gion here, contrary to the intent and
meaning of the first amendment of
the Constitution; and our 1aw-mak-
ers are afraid to vote against any
measure which the Pope demands,
for fear of losing his support at the
polls! So, here we are, in the grasp
of the Romans!
Very respectfully, G.. ROYS.

A LETTER FROM A YOUNG GIRL.

Dear Mr.. Watson: will you
please pardon me for taking a few
minutes of your time? [ wanted to
write and tell you how much I, a girl
of eighteen years, appreciated the
JeffersOnians, and also tell you of the
death of my father g. B. Hurt)
which occurred two weeks ago. [
know you were not personally ac-
quainted with him, but I don't be-
lieve you had a truer friend any
where than papa was to you. You
was always just ''Tom'' to him.
He received the first copies of the
JeffersOnians and has been taking
them ever since and also was sub
scriber to the Peoples Party Paper
and the New York Magazine.
Papa was MERCHANT in our little
town, and l know he was very often
sending in subscriptions to the Jeffs.
He was with you in everything you
said.
Oh! how hard it is to give up
parent. Papa had been in bad
health about six years, and when the
doctor said about a month ago he
had pneumonia we could only hope
and pray for his recovery But it
was not to be, and he died in about
two weeks. I know he was one of
the best men living, and yet it is so
hard to live without him. He asked
me a week before he died if his JEFF
fersonian came that morning, but he
was getting worse all the time and
never got to read it. He had heard

CONSTITUENTS BEGINNING
LOOK AT RECORDS.

Dear Sir: Please tell us, through
The Jeffersonian, if Judge w. G.
Adamson (M. CO., is worthy of his
h1re? Most of us do not know any
thing about his good or bad record
In Congress. Is he trying to do any
thing Of Importance? We are aware
OF the fact that he does all he can to
secure public buildings for his dis
trict, and other such minor things.
But is he trying, faithfully, to handle
any of the big things that Congress
does and does not do?
Yours truly,
A CONSTITUENT.
Carrollton, Ga.
Answer.
Judge Adamson has made no rec
ord that amounts to anything. He is
regarded as one of the slickest poll
ticians that ever came beaming and
smiling and glad-handing down the
pike. He has nothing to show in the
way Of good results to the people for
the thousands of dollars that he has
lifted from the treasury in the way
OF salary and perquisiteS. His dis
trict will lose nothing whatever by
trying new broom. Adamson
might stay there until he was as
gray as a badger, or his head as
hairless as a billiard ball, and he
would never amount to a row of
pins, in the shaping of national legis-
latlon. T. E. w.
