WOMAN'S MISSIONARY
W --,-c u MON.

Tuesday, when the Woman's Mis-
sionary Union met at the Presbyter-
ian Church, was such a rainy day,
few visitors attended, but on Wednes-
day there was a good congregation
Everybody was charmed with Mrs.
Nesbitt, who presided, with Miss
EILEEN Gober, secretary, Mrs. Bum,
Miss Katherine Logan and all those
who read papers on foreign mission
fields. Miss Jennie Fields paper on
Rrazil and why we should send mis-
sionaries there was voted the best and
Miss Mabel Cortelyou's on Mexico
second. All were both interesting and
instructive.
Miss DOzier's talk about the native
mountaineers in the school in Nacoo.
chez Valley thrilled every heart and
brought tears to the eyes of the moth
ers present. Miss Dozier has charge
OF Nacoochee Institute, mountain
school supported by Presbyterians,
and mothers about 300 girls and boys
in the sweetest way. She declared she
had been mothering children since
she was six years old. Mothers, like
poets and musicians, must be born,
and all women do not have the ability
to feed hungry hearts and awaken
childish minds.
Between the business sessions came
the social hours and the luncheon in
the Sunday school room. This was
not sandwiches handed on plates, but
a beautifully served and delicious
meal. The tables were arranged to
seat small groups in the ladies parlor
and in the Sunday School room was
one long table with two extensions
forming cross. Silver candelabra
with white candles, crystal vases with
white narcissi, snowballs and green
foliage decorated the tables. A very
elegant and delicious hot luncheon
with ice cream and cake was served by
Mrs. Adrian Cortelyou, Mrs. Tom
Wallace, Mrs. 7. M. Brumby, Jr.,
Mrs, Harry DuPre, Mrs. Ralph North
cult, Mrs. George Welsh, Mrs. Leon
Gilbert, Mrs. G. w. DuPre and Miss
Francis Law. Miss Addie Seize di-
rected affairs.
Caroline Lyman, a fine cook,
made hot rolls, coffee, tea and cresmed
chicken. The ladies sent their hand
some silver, even gold spoons were
seen in many sherbet cups, and silver
dishes and silver pitchers abounded.
Those privileged to sit at meat with
Mrs. Theodore Frelinghuysen Howell,
lone please, my dear Merganthaler)
of ode Brier Patch" near Rome, will
never forget that experience. Know
ing some people may be better than
liberal education and meeting some
people may be better than finding
bank notes, but this scribe can testify
that companionship with Mrs. Howell
would make life we'll worth living I'M
der almost any circumstances.
If space allowed we would love to
pen a portrait of Miss Katherine
Logan with halo round her hair"
and another of Miss Dozier, an up to-
date Romola, whose countenance is
animated by love that cherishes and
enfolds children like soft and beauti-
full garment.
Mrs. Bum was a lovely and inspir-
| ing speaker. Mrs. Campbell Wallace
came in with few words like a golden
text. Mrs. Patton, Mrs. James T.
Anderson and Mrs. Cohen were like
three graces that moved among the
congregation with subdued voices and
smiling faces, but homefolks knew
how much they had done to make the
wheels go round, and visitors appre-
ciated them. Mrs. George Montgomery,
Mrs. Lemon. Miss Eileen Gober and
others were constant in interest and
helpfulness. Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Ralph
NOrthcutt, Mrs. G. w. DuPre and Mrs.
Davenport made the music beautiful.
There was a large delegation from
Rome, headed by Zenobia Howell,
who reminded Mrs. Nesbitt it was use
less to vote on the question of where
the convention would meet next year
because Rome had allowed Marietta
the honor this time. So Rome it will
be and every body looks forward to
again meeting the visiting Romans.
The only changes in the officers were
the secretaries who resigned and
whose successors are Miss ELLEN
Gober the recording and Mrs. Daven-
port the corresponding secretaries.
