elaborate and brilliant social events

of unusual patriotic interest. with the
all fresco matinee given this afternoon
by Mrs. John M. Slaton, wife of the
former governor, on the lawn of her
beautiful country home, for the bene-
fit of the fatherless children of France.
Miss Gladys Hanson, the famous
Atlanta actress, and Miss Betty Lee,
the brownsville girl whose classic
dancing created a sensation in New
York. gave a number of readings and
dances, while the girls of an Atlanta
classic dancing school were the prin-
cipals in a beautiful woodland dance

ancient Greece.
The proceeds of the matinee. which
was largely attended, went jointly to
the fatherless children of France and
the Stage Woman's War Relief. The
spacious lawn of the Slaton country
home afforded an ideal setting for the
matinee, and the classic dances of
the young girls representing charact-
ers in Greek mythology were especial
ly charming.

SIGNATURES.

In these days of typewriter letters
and equally typewriter official docu-
ments the writing by hand is becoming
a lost art.
Average of time for reading letters
is two minutes for the body of the let
ter and anywhere from fifteen minutes
to two hours trying to figure out who
made the hieroglyphics that stand for
a signature.
In these days Of economy 1t seems
wicked to waste SO much time. Let
the stenographer type the signature In
full Mt the end of the letter, leaving a
| space below in which the author may
satisfy his taste for cubist or futurist
art.
Every man. e a lawyer or a sol.
dier, has a right to sign his name as
he pleases. But the man who writes a
signature which none can copy-or
read-should at least furnish his
friends with a key to the code he uses.

By JANE OSBORNE

Professor Osgood had n~ear-sighted
eyes,, ten acres of good rich garden
soil, a desire TO do his bit and an or.
der from his publishers to get in his
manuscript for his o IN truck gar.
dening in ancient Rome by the first OF
October. Naturally the course of the
summer would shape itself in only one
way. His defective eyes prevented him
from enlisting. the possession of ten
acres made 1t his patriotic duty to
raise everything possible, and In the
meantime he would complete his book
from the notes he had been collecting
for the past five years. He would
divide his time between the mental
work of his book and the physical
work of supervising his garden.
He could not cultivate ten acres In.
tensively himself. Labor was scarce
1t was necessary in the community
where his ten acres was located to pay
three dollars and a half a day for a
labOrer. There would be no economy
and no patriotism in that sort of gar.
dening. The only thing left to do was
TO send for orphans. He had heard of
other people doing 1t. So he wrote
to the nearest large city where there
was an asylum for motherless and
fatherless girls and boys and asked
for w young boys of fourteen or
fifteen who would profit by a summer
in the countr with plenty of whole
some food and not too strenuous ont
door work. He intended Incidentally to
give them daily instruction in the
classics. but this he did not tell the
authorities of the institution.
Professor Osgood was really not
very old or yery eccentric Perhaos he
might some day become eccentric if
left too much to the solitary contem-
plation of ancient Roman truck gar-
dens. But now as he sat one very
