She* expostulated with his lordship for for giving a full quart,er of his gar den to his flowers, saying tliat It would be better and wiser to grow lettuce there than bouquets. “Ah, Madame Magloire,” replied the bishop, “the beautiful is as useful as it is beautiful.” ‘Cak ^^‘is 1 avf)rite Soap .i/c Jar of t'rcai .i| for 54 Cents ■-> 5, **ISS WILL!A' ;-r the genuine ' '■ rakes Palm- ■ ‘lor "j4c. ’ ^0 be here II ?v- 5' >t-. u' ■ ■ in,. lui. oil ■ '' n- Ini' ihp Ivey's ■' Dfcial repre- '1 \' aiiUee factory ' 5 Ills .sale.

The recital given by the violin de partment of Elizabeth College Con servatory of Music was a great suc cess and reflected great credit on Miss Von Gllluwe, the Instructor, as well as the Institution. The program was made up of violin solos and en semble numbers, and two orchestra numbers. The orchestra consisting of fifteen pieces, rendered Gounod’s “March Pontiflcale” and the overture to the “Caliph of Bagdad,” and from the way the numbers were . rendered. It was evident that the members w’ere thoroughly trained, for the playing was In many respects most perfect. While all the students did remark ably well, in the solo, as well as the ensemble numbers, the Individual number worthy of special mention is the a. and b. number (Andante and Perpetual motion) rendered by Miss Ethel Durham. Miss Durham has a good tone and a fine technique; she is a fine performer. Among the en semble numbers, worthy of special mention are the “sextee” (allegro from 9th symphony, and song from “Oberon”) and the “trio In Q-maJor ’ by Soechtlng (for violin, ’cello and piano) this was undoubtedly the best ensemble number. All in all, the pro gram was good and thoroughly en joyable, as are all recitals at Eliza beth. They are never too long to be tire some. MRS. WATT’S GUEST. Mrs. D. K.

After the calling throng had passed down the line and every one had the pleas ure of greefing the distinguished club women of national fame person ally, the privilege of hearing them talk, not as gracous charming society w'omen, but as able learned represen tative club women wa s given. Mr.s. Hook, with grace of w’ord and manner. made the introductions, which officially made the president and director of the General Feder ation known to the charlotte club. She quoted one -of the state’s most brilliant women, Mrs. Zebulon V^nce, of Asheville, who Introduced^^ Mrs. Bailey at the Federation meeting at Asheville as “one of those foreign ers from • Massachusetts, whom we are glad to know.’’ “I present to you,” said Mrs. Hook, “ ‘that foreigner whom we are ‘glad to kpow’—Mrs. .\lvin Bailey, of Boston.” With cliarm- ing grace Mrs. Bailey responded. Siie expressed her pleasure at being in North Carolina and having opportuni ty of meeting the Woman’s Club wo men. “I find the spirit of good com radeship amongst club women where ever 1 go. They are the same the w'orld over. It was an extremely pleanant and great privilege to have been in Asheville and hear the splen did report of the North Carolina Fed eration. “I will take back East with me the pleanast memories of your state, of you each as individual club women.” Mrs. Moore, president of the Na tional Federation, was then presented by Mrs. Hook, the latter laying high tribute to the National president, a w'oman of brain and heart. looking oyer the brilliant scene Mrs. Moore said; .“Thig seems like an aftermath of Asheville'. I like to see the North Carolina Federation in all phases of Its work, and it Is a peculiar privilege to be In the home of Mrs. Reilly, who, as director on the General Board from your state, did so much for the state. I heard a gentleman say, yesterday, that Mrs. Reilly was the best busi ness woman he ever met. She came from St. Louis, so we claim her and her splendid ability.” Mrs. Moore then launched out to the main message she had for the Charlotte club. She spoke of the en dowment fund that the General Fed eration is to have; of the co-operation necessary; of the wwk the Federation is doing along the Child Welfare line. “The government,” said Mr&. Moore, “has a bureau of commerce, a bureau of fish, why not a child bureau—why leave out the best asset ot the country —the child?’ With rare ability and Interest that compelled every eye and ear, Mrs. Moore told of the Woman’s Club work in Panama, in the difflculty the govern ment had in keeping men on the isth mus suggested to President Taft to have the women of the Isthmus or ganized into a Woman’s Club. He sent an organizer there, and the result of which was the organization of “The Canal Zone Federation of Wom an’s Clubs.” “No more trouble was had” said Mrs. Moore, “In regard to the men leaving the work,so you see the women, as well as the men, have helped U build the Panama canal..” An interesting account of the life of the canal follow'ed, all of which tended to emphasize the use and bene fit of women’s clubs and federation work. Mrs. Moore has exquisite polae. She is strikingly handsome and about her is that atmosphere of refinement and culture that marks the gentle woman of the North and the gentle man of the South, alike. She talked her way into the brains and hearts of Charlotte’s club women. She and Mrs. Bailey were cordially received In Charlotte. When they left today—Mrs. Moore for Roanoke, Va., to attend the Virginia Federation, and Mrs Bailey for Washington—Mrs Moore remarked, again quoting Mrs .Vance: “ ‘Hospitality is a cult,’ not only in •Asheville’ but Charlotte and all North Carolina.” Foot* Fitters.
