HELEN KELLERS

Famous Woman, Educated De-

Helen Keller, whose triumphs over
her many obstacles have made her
one of the most remarkable charac-

the lecture platform in Atlanta De-
cember 20, under the auspices of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Miss Keller will appear in conjunc-

teacher, Mrs John Macy. She will
demonstrate Miss Powelrs lecture on
The Psychology of Music" by send
ing from a throat once voiceless the
clear notes which through years OF
grim determination she has learned to
enunciate.
Perhaps this same culture of her
voice, above all else, has proved a
climax to the wonders which this re-
markable woman has achieved. Crit
les of music have declared that Miss
Keller's singing voice is almost fault
less.
Arrangements for the appearance
of Miss Keller in Atlanta were com
pleted Thursday afternoon at d meet
ing of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy. To Mrs. Helen Plane,
member of that organization and a
prominent worker in many other At
lanta enterprises, large share Of the
credit is due.
Realizing the vast interest felt in
Miss Keller, Mrs. Plane overcame all
obstacles and finally succeeded in get
ting Miss Keller to come.
Miss Keller has been known to the
world ever since she was years old,

CHINA GIVEN ESPECIAL CARE
Simple Reason Why the Modern Ar.
ticle Does Not Last as Long as
in the Olden Days.

An idea is prevalent that modern
china is not as durable as the china
of our grandmothers' day. This con
clusion is drawn by a comparison Of
the fine old pieces whose color and
gold Is still perfect, with the compar-
ative short life of modern sets. But
in arriving at the conclusion, we ought
also to consider the difference in the
care given by our grandmothers and
that of the modern housewife. No
careless servant was ever entrusted
with that precious old china; no
strong cleansers were allowed to tar
nish its gold; and every slender han
die was looked upon with especial
reverence. Washing the china" was
a sort Of household rite. very differ
ent from the ordinary washing of
dishes. One dear, stately old grand
mother of the old school with many
servants at her command, never al
lowed her finest china to leave the
diningroom. After it had been used.
she cheerfully tied on a big apron,
had water, cloth and the towels
brought in, and it was indeed a priv
ilege to watch her graceful, white
hands at their task of washing the
cups" as she invariably expressed it.
