gave paper on artists in the colonial

Helen Gardenhire of New York, who
spoke briefly on her work as writer
of novelettes and short stories.
The principal paper of the afternoon
was by Miss Dollie Martin. in which
she told of the Berry School of the
South, an institution in which the
D. A r. is interested and assists in
supporting. Miss Martin outlined the
history of the Southern mountaineers.
Their ancestors came to this country
from Ulsters ireland, where they had
been colonized by England, in the time
of James I,=%ho sent them from the
Scotch Iowlands. In America they set
tleQ IN the mountain QlSIr1ClS between
the Indian barrier on the west and
the already settled plains of the coast.
They were then far in advance of the
civilization, were among the revolu-
tionary and pre-revolutionary patriots.
The Berry school was founded by a
young woman of Rome, Georgia, who
made of the institution an industrial
boarding school. The effort to edu-
cate the mountain people met with an
immediate response by the people, and
the school is now obliged to turn away
more pupils than it accepts. The peo-
pie of that section of the country are
great national asset, lacking only in
opportunities.

The conclusion has been reached
that the society woman is the hardest
worked woman in town. One good
looking woman of the most exclusive
set declares that she is so tired that
if ever she makes it to heaven, she will
ask for nothing at all but rocking
chair: that she will not harp a note
for thousand years, but just sit and
rock.
A wealthy woman of Topeka avenue
keeps her house perfectly spotless, and
tho she keeps a servant or two, she
finds no end of labor for her own
hands. She dives thru the house with
an eye open for dirt, and as soon as
caller leaves the portals, she makes
way for the dust mop to wip up any
trace of a foot mark that might have
been left on the waXed floor.
And speaking of women who take
care of their floors and furniture. one
woman of our town, they say, is so
thoughtful of her mahogany that she
takes some of her long time visitors to
the third floor to entertain them.
