this afternoon.
everything in the building, the dec
orations, the furnishings. the accesso
ries. were complete. appropriate and
In perfect good taste. The conven'
fences, the fittings and the arrange
ments were all the subject Of unstint
ed praise upon the part Of the hun
dreds who accepted the invitation to
attend the opening.
Columbians showed their great in,
terest in the Institution by visiting
1t in large numbers during the after.
noon. They passed through all the
wards and rooms, examined and prais,
ed the simple white furnishings and
marveled at the great amount Of work
that had been accomplished by the
organization within so short period
And the interior of the hospital is a
real dream OF loneliness. All the fur
nishings and interior finishings are in
white. Everything has been equip
ped with an eye to absolute cleanh-
ness and perfect sanitation. There
is in the arrangements, the fixtures
and the interior decorations some
thing so restfnl. SO inviting and sooth-
ing that when passing through the
wards one almost involuntarily signs
for a little brief sickness that will
fudnish an excuse for sojourn with
in the hospital
1t was the one verdict of all who
visited the institution, that it was a
great and enduring monument to the
noble women whose love and labors
made it possible and a perpetual me-
mortal OF the generous hearted citi-
zens of Columbia and Maury county
whose contributions helped in it's con-
struction.
AS reception committee the en-
tire membership of the local chapter
of Kings Daughters stood in line at
the hospital this afternoon and greet
ed their numerous, admiring visitors.
Mrs. Frank F. Everett, to whose I'M
firing labors, great executive genius,
earnest and consecrated efforts, more
credit TOR the conception and execu-
ton of the plans for the hospital is
due, than to any other, stood at the
head Of the receiving line. Mrs Ev-
erett smilingly greeted all and to
their numerous words of praise she
bowed modest acknowledgements. For
her work has been wholly one of love
She it was who first suggested the
hospital and she carried the plans
through to most glorious consuma
ton in spite of obstacles before
which less resolute, less heroic soul
than hers would have quailed.
In the spacious dining room, heau
tifully decorated in the colors of the
Kings Daughters, coffee and sand
