1N THE SOCIAL WORM). j
‘ ^mwuuwwwvjuwuuvvuj,
«a By MBS. GEORGE C. BALD. |
X/VAAA/lA/lAAAAAAAAAAAfVu
(There Is but little transpiring In the
social worM, now that the summer sol
stice is upon us, with its enervating ten
derness.
Everybody Is intent upon keeping as
cool, and serene as possible, and awaits
the coming of the health-giving Autumn
breezes, before indulging in any pursuit,
•or pleasure, that requires an especial
expenditure of physical or mental en
ergy.
Many people are out of town, at the
various resorts, amid the mountains, or
on the seashore—but the great majority
of our citizens ars making themselves
comfortable in their own homes, situated
on the wide streets, or upon the pic
turesque Highlands.
The summer girl is in her glory just
at present, in her jaunty bicycle suit, her
trim shirt walst-costume, and her dainty
organdies, which seem to have caught,
the spirit of summer, in its airy meshes.
But there is something for the summer
girl to do, besides the wearing of pretty
- and becoming toilettes. She has her
mission in life just as has all of her
woman kind, and that mission need not
lessen one c f her pleasures, nor curtail
one of her privileges.
Whether she remains at home, or jour
neys away to the seashore, or mountain,
or crosses the broad Atlantic, to combine
tftudy wQth 'travel, she con carry about
with: iter the sweetness of noble woman
hood, and with an elevated femininity
make every sphere that she enters,
brighter and happier for her presence.
By her sunny nature she can carry itno
many darkened lives sweetness and
light, and, with her gentle consideration
and regard for others, she can show the
world the value of good breeding. She
can elevate and improve the tone of so
ciety, and make of it what it should be,
the aggregation of well-bred, cultured
pe> pie.
She can ride a wheel, play tennis and
golf, learn to swim like a mermaid, and
still retain those exquisite attributes that
have always made the southern girl the
ideal of creation of the universe.
Th ine are summer girls, and summer
girls, as you and I know full well, but
there are now two in New York who are
making for themseles both fame and fdr
tmne in a very unusual way. These brave
girls. Mites Ganuhl and Micas Walker, are
originally from Augusta, Ga... and are
both repiv.M ntatives of prominent and at
one time wealthy families. They are im
bued wi'Jh the latter-day spirit which
urges women on to independence, and
creates a desire wi him them to b.-coma
'sett-supporting. Mies Ganuhl achieved
some reputation upon the stage, but aft
erwards decided to form a eo-partrs rship
with 'Mi.-s Walker in New York City foe
«;he designing and making of pre-fry
gowns, sulfa id’ for north . u women who
spend their wlners in the south. No
matter hew accomplished a modiste may
be who lives north of Matron and Dixon's
line, She simply eanr:o: "create" a muslin
dross that has the inde cidbuble charm
that) belongs to-’be most Inexpi raslve sum
meg tell)' rbe oif a sou hern woman. So
iMiss Walker and Miss Ganuhl saw their
opportunity and grasiped it just at the
right moment. They are patronized by
the very worldly women of the not4.h.
who go t>o expensive Florida, hotels in this
winter. and for them they furnl-h lovely
• organdies, which arc lace-wlmmed and
be ribboned with the latest touch of fash.- :
ion. Yet, above all. are just such gowns
art delight ’.Ilie hea.lt of 'the southern wo
man, and trarr'form hd tailor-made wo
men of Mu'- north Into semi-tropical belies
and beauties.

(Mrs. Mildred Jones Clark—Into my
3k>me-coming-, which has bterx so full of
tfcpplness and hope, there has come a
deep and abiding sorrow, because there
is one dear friend less to greet me, one
less to welcome me with smiles ai d
kindly words. There 1s one less friend
here, but heaven has gained another
tinge], now -that Mrs. Clark hfl-s fallen*
asleep, in the fulln* ss of her splendid
'Womanhood. As the dawn crept over the
mountains last Sunday morning, July 2f>,
gently, but fear! ssly, she wen't forth to
meet her God,leaving the record of a
blameless and beautiful life. For more
than fight weeks, she had patiently borne
Incuts illness—which came from a compli
cation of physical troubles—and had made
a brave battle for life.
Mrs. Clark’s strong and lovable charac
ter drew around her frit nds wherever
she lived, while h r charm of manner and
her refinement and cultivation made her n
conspicuous factor in the social circles
of Alabama. She was a gifted artist, and
her love of the beautiful things of life was
made manifest in the cnltlvatl n of
flowers, and of everything that brighten
ed and beautified her home. Shi; was a
woman of strong domestic tastes, and
permitted no pleasure to interfere with
1i.pi duties towards her family. Mrs.
Clark was a devoted wife, mother and
daughter, a consistent member of St.
Hary'e-on-the-Highlard?. and an active
worker in the Ladfes’ Aid society of lhatt
church.
Her influence was always thrown on
the right side.
Mrs. Clark was born Feb. 2. 18C9. at
Selma, A!a., and w s the daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. Alexander W. Jones. Dr.
Jones, ber father, was originally from
West Tennessee—Somerville—but upon
his marriage to Miss Augusta Car lie's, of
Marion, Ala., he moved to our state, and
became a member of the firm of Car! sle,
Jnn'-s & Co., which soon was widely
known because of Its large cotton and
ml load dealings. Dr. Jones was a gal
lant confederate officer, having been sur
geon on Gen. Forrest's staff during the
most trying days of the civil war.
Mia. Clark was confirmed In St. Mll
fred’s Episcopal church. Marlon, Ala, by
BIsSsop Wilmer, Feb. 7, 1884, Rev. Stewart
(McQuoen being rector at the time Mrs. I
Clark enjoyed the highest oducattoi al ad- 1
vantages, and was a graduate of Mrs. [,e
IVborex's famous school aft Baltimore
about 1888. J
As Miss Mildred .Tones. Mrs. Clark
visited Washington City In 1887, and thel'ie 1
met (Ten. Louis V. Clark, whom she af
terwards married. They were both (hen 1
guests of Gen. and Mrs. Charles M 8h»l- I
ley. at Washington. After completing
her school course, Miss Jones married
Gen. Clark on the evening of Dec. 20.
-1898, at Selma, Ala,, Rev. Mr. Barnw 11
performing the ceremony. Tt was a bril
liant wedding, two such conspicuous and
pouJar young people, naturally drew
about them at the time a notable’
gathering of prominent Alabamians.
After a bridal trip to New York and
other points, Gen. and Mre. Clark came
to Birmingham—Gen. Clark’s home—and
since then they have been identified with
all that was for the up-ltfting of our peo*
pie, and the up-buildlng of our town.
Mrs. Clark leaves an only child, Augusta
CarMsle, now two years of age. In the
old cemetery, at Selma, Ala., Mrs. Clark
rests, beside her grandfather, Mr. Ed
ward K. Carlisle, Sr. Her parents, Dr.
and Mrs. A. W. Jones, her grandmother,
Mrs. E. K. Carlisle; her sisters, Misses
Lucy, Augusta and Parmelia, and her
brothers, (Messrs. Carlisle, Calvin, Alex
ander and Monroe survive her and still
reside In the beautiful oM home at Selma.
To these relatives, and to her husband
and child, the tender, st sympathy of very
many frit nds, g< es out In this season of
unspeakable sorrow.

In Far A wav faflan.
Mrs. Paul Fitzsimmons, a. beautiful
Georgia woman—who as Miss Russell, of
'Augusta, was one of the belles of tha't
lovely old town—has spent six years in
•China and Japan, and has written charm
ing let ers from that faraway land to her
relatives in this country. Her 'husband,
Dr. Paul Fitzsimmons, is full surgeon
in the United SVates navy, and has had
change of the marine hospitals in China
and Japan, on two different cruises. He
is a brother of Rev. Owen P. Fitzsim
mons, of our city, and is now one of the
most prominent officers in the navy. Ex
tracts from some of Mis. Fitzsimmons’
letters, lam sure, will be of in'.crest. She
writes of the e lebration of the Fourth of
July at Yokohama: "We cel'brated the
Fourth here, on Monday, the 5th. There
were games on th- cricket grounds in the
morning; a reception, on the Olympic In
ehe afterpoon, and night from the haibor
tha most beautiful fireworks that were
ever dreamed of. The heavens were
ablaze with ‘.hem; there were set pieces
of the Am., rican eagle, the date of the
declaration of independence, and Niagara
Pal is, while all the men-of-war in the bar
bor were outlined with colored eleo.-rlc
lights, and all the campaus (native boat'--)
war. hurg with 'brilliant lanterns. Thw
Grand hovel and all American, homes on
the Bund were beautifully illuminated,
and the night was like one out of Fairy
land. A crowd of us went down and sat
on he hoi el verandah, the admiral Join
ing up. As there were two bands, .one
pi .yii is all the time, we had a charming
musical evening. Afterwards we wound
up with a little supper at Mrs. Strough
ton's. Count Orfini was down, from To*,
kio, and has invited us to spend a day at
the legation when we go up to call on our
new minister, which will b** very soon
now. All the diplomats reside at Tokio.
We are receiving already many farewell
invitations for dinner, tiffin and country
trips.
“Well, we went up to Tokio yesterday
early in the morning and returned home
a little after ti o’clock, just In time to
rest and dress for dinner. Tokio Is an
immense place, with about one million
inhabitants. I saw more beautiful
things than T couM tell you of in a week.
All the lovely lacquer, Ivory, bronze and
embroidered things are kept in small
stores, one can scarcely stand upright
in, without striking one’s head. The
people all sit on the floors, which are
covered with padded matting, and they
eat In that position, and elevn on a rug
with a small woo i,n seat for a support
for the head. We consumed an hour
getting there, the road lying through the
most beautiful country. The ditches < r
tenches on the sides of the railway were
full of lotus blossoms, pink and white,
and as huge as a soup plate, while the
leaves are the size of a large parasol. We
took jinrikeshas, upon arriving and kept
them all day. first going to one of the
most beautiful parks. After visiting
the museum, geological garden, end the
Shogine's tomb, we took lunco at a res
taurant there, and a good one It was too.
We then did the town, and curio shops.
The temple is gorgeous; rill the wood
and me'.al work about It Is lacquered in
gold, and brilliant colors, while leading
tip to it Is a long avenue of very ni i trees,
and Inside the rows of tree3. on either
side of you, are lines of tall lanterns. In
stone and bronze. These lanterns stand
taller than a man. To the right, and
half way up the avenue, stands a tail,
red pag .la, one of the prettiest things
I saw. Before entering the temple. I had
to remove my shoes, that one always
has to do. I made several purchases
while in Tokio. with all of which 1 am
delighted."

One of Birmingham’s promising young
gentlemen, Mr. Jackson iialsted, has
written the following parody on Bud
yard Kippling's famous poem. “The
Vampire.” It is the result of a disap
pointing rain storm, whien lnlerfervtd
with a long-anticipated bicycle iide with
a fascinating girl:
"A tool inert; wan and his plans he made
(Even as you and I.)
To ride a bike with a lovely maid.
(But that plan by the heels the weather
laid)
And you’d be shocked at the things he said,
(Even as you and I.)
Oh, the tears we waste, and the words we
waste,
And the work of our head and hand
Belong to the schemes that never did go,
(And now we know that they never did go)
But wo didn't understand.
A fool (here was and he made Ids bet,

He chuckled in glee at the chips he would

(But his hand didn’t "All," and he lived to
regret)
For a food will expect the things he'ean't

(Even as you and. I.)
Oh, the chips we tossed and the chip* we
lost,
And the “pot” we wanted so,
Belonged to the man with the hand that
won,
(And now we know that we couldn’t have
won)
And never had a show.
So the fool was bereft of hi* foolish toy*,
(Even as you and I
An escape from *uch vanity might make

COSTS MONEY TO DIE IN OFFICE.
A Washington Undertaker’s Eill Held Up by the
Committee on Accounts.
Chairman. Odell, of the committee on
accounts of the house, is greatly di--saL
isfied with the bill submitted by the un
dertaker Who had charge of t'he funeral
of the late Congressman, Cook, of Illi
nois. This undertaker asks the house of
representatives to pay him $1,250.
Mr. Odell claims that many of the
Items of the bill are oxhoibitant, and al
together out of proportion to the value
cf the services rendered and the material
furnished. He particularly objects to
the charge of $50 for embalming the re
mains, which he declares is thro? itlmes
as much as undertakers usually aek In
New York. The charge of $350 for the
casket anid cases Is another which he
thinks altogether too great. Then, itoo,
the funeral director asks $15 for tb' throe
days he was engaged In traveling be
tween here and Chicago, which Mr. Odell
says is more than his own salary as a
congressman for 'the same time, and he
does not believe that the services of an
undertaker are more valuable than
those of a representative. He wants the
bill cut at least $200 before he will con
sent to recommend Its payment. But
the undertaker Is unwilling to cut it at
all. '
Mr. Odell points out that his commit
tee has Just authorized the payment of
the funeral expenses of one of the' em
ployes of the house, who died about 'the
same time, the cost of whose funeral
was only about $148. He fails to see
why there should be a difference of $1000
between the expense of hurying a repre
sentative and an employe of the house.

A CONGRESS OF YOUNG BLOOD.
Never in the history of the country have
then been iso many young men ehe.s m as
representatives of '.he people in congress
os were elected to the present house. .It is
emphatically a congress of young men,
as ehe most casual observer from the gal
let Its will readily note. That these m n
had to contend for their nomination amt
election against voteran politicians of abil
ity and experience is pleasing proof that
the people realize talent and statesman
like qualities wherever found an.l that it
is no longer necessary for cite to have
wrinkles and hoary locks before being
deemed qualified to comp-te for politcal
honors.--Washington Post.
