the horrid picture of another day. She

the place again, to 60 there with old
Impressions which she could leave be-

meant to shake on the shackles of a
horrid dream. to purge herself of the
last vestige of bitterness. to cleanse
her mind of certain thoughts and mem
cries.
Downstairs Booth waited for her.
He heard the story of the tragedy from
the innkeeper, who Grossly maintained
that his business had been ruined.
Booth was vaguely impressed, he knew
not why, by Buttons description Of
the missing woman. I'D say she was

said, as he had said thousand times

his brow. Turning to boy, he COM

boy went slowly, and as he went he
removed his hands from his pockets.
He came back an instant later, more
swiftly than he went, with the word
that "the lady up there" wanted Mr..
Booth to come upstairs.
She was waiting for him In the open
doorway. A shaft of bright sunlight
from window at the end of the hall
fell upon her. Her face was colorless,
haggard. He paused for an instant to
contrast her as she stood there In the
pitiless light with the vivid creature
he had put upon canvas so recently.
She beckoned to him and turned
back into the room. He followed.

Eugenic Law For
Georgia Is Doomed

Atlanta, Jan. 27.-The plans to pre-
sent a eugenic bill at the next session
of the Legislature to regulate mar
riages in Georgia will probably have
to be revised or abandoned altogether
as the result of the constitutional
snags struck by similar measures in
Wisconsin and other states where they
have been tried.
The fact that the Wisconsin measure
cannot be enforced is taken to mean
the likelihood that the bill proposed
for Georgia in it's present form could
not be enforced either, even though it
passed the legislature.
The Georgia bill was to be concern
&c first with health, and secondly with
social conditions. 1t was to provide

ROYAL WELSH CHOIR
STAND BEFORE KING

The following clipping from tha
Western Mail, a Welsh newspaper, will
interest music lovers of Americus who
are looking forward with a great deal
of interest to the concert of the Royal
Welsh Ladies choir in this city to-
night.
Cardiff would not have been true %
herself as the capital of Wales had she
not provided music on most lavish
scale and of the very best quality. No
greater honour comes within the scope
of musical ambition than to be com
manded to sing before the king
Naturally, feeling Of pride and de-
light was shared by Madame Hughes
Thomas, of Cardiff, and her choir, when
the royal command was communicated
to them. 1t is doubtful whether King
Edward ever before had such feast
of music in so limited a space of time
1t was one of the happiest thoughts in
the whole of the multifarious arrange
ments that so much prominence and
Importance should have been given to
the musical entertainment of the royal
guests, for in giving brief historical
sketches of the musicians who enter
tanned the king it is only in accorl
with the order of singing mapped out
in the official program that precedence
should be given to the choir of Cardiff
ladies and their talented conductress.
Madame Hughes Thomas.
Characteristic taste was shown by
Madame Hughes Thomas in the ar
rangement of the program which was
indeed, dainty and varied enough to set
before king Mrs. Thomas began her
musical career at Maesteg, and came
to Cardiff eleven years ago, after her
marriage with Alderman Thomas
(Cochfarf) one of the best known
Welshmen of his time. While at Macs
teg she established the Gwalia choir
which had a splendid record of sue
cesses.
Mrs. Thomas has been remarkably
successful as a teacher of music, and
her pupils come to the Beethoven
School of Music in Windsor Place, Car
diff, from all parts of Glamorgan and
Monmouthshire. She is also the rep
resentative of the Royal Academy Of
Music for the Cardiff district. Many
hundreds of pupils have been trained
by her, and most Of the teachers AZ
Maesteg and in the Ogmore and Garw
valleys at the present time are her
old pupils, and there are few of them
who do not keep in constant touch with
Mrs. Thomas as a valued friend and
whilom tutor Miss Marie Novello
Williams, the brilliant pianiste, was
one Of her pupils up to the time she
won her first prize in the National Els
teddford for pianoforte playing at
Carnarvon, twelve years ago The
charming contralto Miss Alice Maud
Lewis, winner of the John Thomas
Welsh scholarship in the Royal Acad-
emy OF Music, is another old pupil.
Since making her home in Cardiff, Ma
dame Hughes-Thomas has been promi-
nently connected with the Cymmrodor-
ion Society, Cymry Cymreig, Caerdydd,
and all other Welsh societies and move
