RoLLcALL.oF THE STATES.

Are you ready, o Virginia,
Alabama, TENNESSEE
People Of the Southland, answer.
For the land hath need of thee.
Are you ready, California,
Arizona, Idaho?
Come, oh, come unto the colors;
Heard you not the bugle blow1
Ger Missouri sounds the challenge,
Ger the Great,Lal1es and the plain.
Are you ready, Minnesota?
Are you ready, men of Maine7
From the woods of Ontonagon,
From the farms of Illinois,
From the looms of Massachusetts,
We are ready, man and boy.
Truce to feud and peace of faction;
All forgot is party zeal
When the warships clear for action
When the blue battalions wheel.

IS SHE IN sOcIETY7

In speaking the other day of a
young woman of much charm and cul-
ture, some one asked: 'Is she in So
ciety?" And an older woman, long a
leader IN the social world, quickly re-
turned: "What do you mean by So
ciety 2" Thereupon, about the luncheon
table there arose a discussion, and
because I thought it was interesting,
/ am giving you some of the opinions
Of the women on that summer morn
ing.
why" said the young married wO-
man at my left, charming vision in
her organdie gown, with its pale pink
ground and its rose pink blossoms,
with rose-lined hat shading her
piqtuant face. Society is just society,
of course. Why, we all know what
that means. People who beIong-like
we do"
This brought a laugh, and the elder
woman who had thrown the question
into our midst, said:
Marianne evidently thinks that no
one is in society, out of our little
circle"
'WeI, isn't it true?" asked Mari
anne, with some heat. 'I have never
known any other society here" And
then, when again she was met with
laughter, she looked not only offend
ed, but extremely non-plussed.
Because you have not known any
other society than this, which we
choose to call the inner circle, does
not argue that no other society ex-
ists,' said the grand dame, whose
word always commands respect, even
when she throws such bomb into
the camp, as to question even for a
minute, that there is just one set of
society, and that to. ''beIong" means
to be a member of that little self
chosen coterie.
Then madam began to talk, and
among other things, she said:
"There was a time in Pensacola,
when society did consist of just one
little circle. That was in my day. We
all belonged. And those were days
that can never be equalled for their
charm and their real pleasure. But
those days have long since passed
Pensacola has grown from a village
to a city, and with it society is broad
ening. There can be no one select
little circle in city the size of Pen
sacola. There are many circles, anc
they all must touch, more or less, be-
fore our city can really become. great
in any lasting way.
at is not only because the city il
growing, the time are changing, no
only in Pensacola, but all over The
world. To be a society woman today
does not mean what it meant TWEEN

THE RICHEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD.

All values in life are relative.
Riches and poverty are not terms
which may be set down arbitrarily
in the credit and debit columns of
the ledger of life. What enriches one
leaves another poverty stricken. Many
a beggar at the door OF life, is clad
softly in satin, with a starving heart,
and many go barefoot and pay their
way in gold coined from a glad heart,
and have largesse to fling to the
world, worth kings ransom.
Those who count the values of life
in dollars and cents, are dealing in
counterfeit, for there are gifts of the
spirit the value of which is so far be-
yond what money may purchase, and
no wealth may buy the glad heart
and the free spirit.
Here is little story which came in
a letter to the editor Of this page.
Maybe it win serve to show that great
wealth does not mean great happi-
ness, and that there is no poverty so
great as the poverty of the soul:
When I was a little girl, with rib
bon-tied yellow hair, I lived in the
suburbs of Chicago. One June day
my mother sent me to a market
gardeners on Halstead street, to buy
tomatoes for the family catsup. The
gardener was busy so, child-like,
wandered about till he should have
time to fill my basket. A vacant
house, doors ajar, attracted me.
decided to explore, and stole through
the empty rooms which echoed IN
cannily to my childish imagination,
As I afterwards learned, the tenants
had recently been evicted. All the
house contained was some broken
crockery and the usual debris left
by impoverished families in closet,
however, q remember, I opened the
door cautiously were some odds and
ends of a discarded harness. Leather
reins, past their usefulness, a breech
strap, worn with long use. Wandering
to a front window saw the Halstead
street car stop. From the rear de-
scended a cross-looking woman in 8
dilapidated bonnet, once black, but
gray with wear and dust. saw 6

BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR
FOUR-YEAR-OLD.

Twenty-Five children enjoyed a
birthday party with which Flora
Elizabeth, the little four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Quit
man, entertained yesterday afternoon,
childish games passing the hours
happily, amid charming environ
ment. Pink and white were used
with artistic effect, the dining room
being very lovely with its great ia
bic, lace covered, in its pink and
white color motif. From the electro
lier big basket of Easter lilies was
suspended, from which narrow pink
ribbons radiated to smaller pink bas-
kets filled with bonbons at the place
of each little guest. The ices, cakes
and bonbons also carried out the pink
and white color scheme.

There was time that the title meant
either a badge Of honor or term of
opprobrium, according to the view
point But today the society women,
not only Of this country, but of the
entire civilized world, are giving evil
dence that the term has lost its old
meaning, and to be society woman
no longer means to be butterfly Of
fashion.
Society she continued, sis after
all the larger family life, the big hui
man family, and we all belong"
And what she said is true.
Perhaps there Is nothing which has
gone farther towards bringing about
a better understanding of what So
ciety at its best really is, than the
contact which women have with each
other, in the conventions which they
hold annually, throughout the coun-
try. The D. A. R., the Federation of
Women's Clubs, the big suffrage con-
ventions, all have done part towards
raising the standard of the society
woman. The day will come when we
shall no longer speak of the society
woman, or the club woman, but they
will be just women, for it is fast COM
ing to pass, that all women are club
women, and most women are society
women, in the larger sense.
It is a wonderfully stimulating
thing to see the splendid camaraderie
Of women, when they meet to discuss
the big questions of the day. The
woman Of wealth and of leisure, the
woman of business and domesticity
meet very frankly and freely, and the
! snobbishness of women cannot live in
that broad, free atmosphere, where
brains count more than money, and
clothes are forgotten, in the vital in
Society is changing. When Jne
terest of real things.
daughter of the president Of the Uni
ted States can slip into great gath
ering Of women and mingle freely as
one Of them-when the woman of mill
lions hobnobs with the woman who
has nothing but the salary she earns,
and neither remembers what she has
or who has is, bue merely a common
interest, then snobbishness is doomed.
The social contact can never be
eliminated. It is part of the very
fabric of life. But the old idea OF
society is fast changing. Look over
your social roster Of any city and see
what you will find. You will find the
names of social leaders at the head
of your women's clubs, your Civic
Leagues, your Y. w. C. A., and all
other public and phiIanthropic move
ments.
The old idea of society is doomed
The new idea of society is not coming
lit is already here.
