This Would I Do.
If I were a rose.
This would I do:
I would lie upon the white neck of her I love,
And let my life go out upon the fragrance
Os her breath.
If I were a star.
This would I do:
I would look deep down into her eyes.
Into the eyes I love, and learn there
How to shine.
If I were a truth strong as the eternal one,
This would I do:
I would live In her heart, in the heart
J. know so well, and
Be at home.
If I were a sin.
This would I do:
I would fly far away, and tho’ her Soft hand
In pity were stretched out, I would not stay,
but fly,
And leave her pure. -

On next Friday evening the home' of
Mr. E. H. West, on Second avenue will
be the scene of an “All Hallowe’en
Party,” given by the Young Ladies
Guild of St. Peters church. The
“spookies” have all promised to revel
that night instead of wainting till Sun*
day night, and bobbing for apple's, try
ing fortunes on water, crokinole and
many other Hallowe’en games and sports
will be indulged in. Misses Margaret
Lea, Minnie Rowell. Loula West and
Linnie Hargrove are in charge of it, and
earnestly request that the young people
especially be out on this evening as they
desire to make this celebration of the old
time custom a success. Refreshments
and a small admission.
The absorbing society topic is the
beautiful home wedding of Miss Clark
and Mr. Magill which occurred Thursday
night. It is universally conceeded to
have been one of the most elegant and
picturesque home weddings that ever oc
curred in Rome. Never did a wedding
ceremony and reception go off so
smoothly and delightfully m every
respect.
Instead of cutting a large cake accord
ing to the traditional bridal customs, a
number of little heart shaped cakes were
given to the bridesmaids to break and
find out their future which resulted as
follows:
Ring—Miss Ruth Norton.
Thimble -Miss Florence Fouche.
Knitting Needle—Miss Ella Gailliard.
Dime—Miss Carrie Smith, of Anniston.
It would take a great deal of space to
describe each the many handsome and
exquisite costumes. While white was
the prevailing color of the materials for
the gorgeous gowns there was seen
pink, blue, green and black.
The bride’s going away gown was of
brown cheviot bound with brown silk
cord with hat and gloves to match. As
the couple left the house rose leaves
thrown upon them instead of the tradi
tional rice and old shoes.
Much credit is deserved in the perfect
arrangements of affairs for the wedding
by Miss Marian Smith who proved her
self to be a pre-eminent social direc tress.
As a member of the family she took the
deepest interest in all details and was an
invaluable assistant.
Mr. Magill and his bride are spending
a few days in Nashville viewing the ex
position and visiting relatives of the
groom before going to St. Louis.
«?anie Smith, of Anniston, for-
Rome, who was maid of honor
Clark Magill wedding was the
recipient of many compliments on her
beauty and grace of manner. Many of
those who remember her as a little girl
scarcely knew her the other evening in
her radiant role.
The Selma, Macon, Knoxville and
other newspapers in cities where Mrs.
Edward Everett Magill had visited are
printing pleasant notices of her wedding.
Mr. Magill’s gift to his bride was a
pin representing a chameleon set in
diamonds and olive leaves.
Friday evening at the residence of
Mr. J. A. Glover on avenue A. in the
Fourth ward The Womans Parsonage
Aid Society of the Second Methodist
church gave an interesting art mu
seum for the benefit of the blind
musician Prof. Hodges. A neat sum
was taken in at the door, and after
puzzling over the museum that would
require too much space, to describe,
the happy crowd dispersed.

The Young People’s Foreign Mission
ary Society of the First Methodist
church, gave an entertainment Friday
evening at the home of Mrs. Alice
Griffins on Fourth avenue for the bene
fit of the Frances Morton scholarship, a
girl they are educating for a missionary
to China.
Mrs. Griffin kindly tendered her beau
tiful home to them for their entertain
ment. A nice program of recitations and
music was rendered. Dainty refresh
ments were served. This is a flourishing
society of the younger members of the
First Methodist church, numbering
about forty members. The entertain
ment was quite a success in every way,
and a neat sum was realized for a good
cause.
One Reason of Success*
We all know a charming woman who
has the reputation of being the most
popular woman in town. The other day,
in discussing her, a group of people
were trying to analyze her charm.
When they came to think of it they
realized that she was not beautiful, nor
especially intellectual, that she was
neither well read nor accomplished. Yet
she seemed possessed of all desirable
social gifts, if one were to judge by the
number of her admirers among both
the men and women.
What was the secret of her success?
One who had studied her methods
closely said it was her cordiality. She
was always delightfully polite to every
one, it bad been remarked, and it was
1 her manner of bowing on the street and
speaking at closer quarters that won for
her so many warm admirers.
“All of us are superb egotists,” said
the speaker, ‘‘and when we meet a per
son who looks and acts as though we are
exactly the man or woman she or he
most desires to see, at that particular
moment, we are apt to think that per
son perfectly charming. It is on the
same plane as a woman warmly admir
ing the most unattractive man who yet
has the good taste to love her.’’
Someone else present thought it was
not altogether cordiality that bad won
the social success of the woman under
discussion.
“I tbink it is because she never inter
rupts. You remember Ouida says-There
is no conversation nowadays. How can
there be when there are no listeners?
When one speaks of orchids, one’s
hearer says something about sardines.
You don’t getthrough a whole sentence
without somebody cantering across it
and cutting up your grass.’
“In this rushing age everyone is in
such a hurry to utter their particular
bit of wisdom that they have no time to
listen to what anybody else has to say.
It ha? bee me rather the fad to inter
rupt, always without the decidedly ob
solete introductory, ‘excuse me,’ or ‘I
beg pardon. ’ The woman we are speak
ing of never permits herself to interrupt
a speaker, no matter how strong must
beat times the temptation to say some
thing clever that will never again be so
particularly apropos as at that particu
lar moment. She is a past-mistress of
self-sup pression. ’ ’
‘‘Again this charming woman has as
many personalities as there are people
she meets, and these various personali
ties are all expressed by the word ‘ex
actly.’ She meets a celebrated divine
and he talks theology. She replies with
a soulful ‘exactly,’and he goes away de
claring her the most religious woman he
knows, 'one vastly superior to the
feather brained creatures one meets in
society. ’ A scientist talks enthusiastic
ally of his life-work and is led on by her
sympathetic ‘exactly’ to tell all the de
tails of hid recent discoveries. Then he
goes away and says he has at last met a
woman who fully understands the in
tricacies of science and that it is a pleas
ure to know that such a one exists. The
ward politician tells her his plans for
the forthcoming campaign, and goes
away loud in his praise of her clear un
derstanding of politics, never dreaming
that she has expressed this understand
ing only by the one word ‘exactly.’
The poet tells her his aspirations, and
her ‘exactly’ makes him confident that
she shares with him his superlative
scorn for the dull, prosaic world. The
club man praises her wit, when all the
time it is he who has told the good
stories in response to which she has re
peatedly laughed a mirthful ‘exactly.’
The school boy confides in her his love
affairs and so sweetly sympathetic is her
softly murmured ‘exactly’ that he raves
over her as the one woman who can un
derstand a fellow. *
“Her reputation for suoh a wide
charity and a beautiful generosity is a
very enviable one, but a close abserver
may see that it is won, not by anything
she says in another’s praise, but simply
by a hearty cordiality of manner in
‘exactlying’ everything said in praise
of or excuse for others. The person with
wrongs feel that already they have been
avenged and a soothing lotion applied to
his smarts when her denunciatory ‘ex
actly’ follows close upon his tirade
against ‘life and the world.’
“In a word, she holds up a mirror to
everyone’s every varying mood, and the
name of this magic mirror is ‘exactly.’ ”
In no home in Rome is the muse
of music more soulfully worshiped
than in that of Mr. J. A. Glover. His
very interesting family has added to
their charm of manner the poetry of
music, and every member of the fam
ily can extract the symphony and
beauty from some instrument. Until
recently Miss Allie, on the violin, Joe
on the mandolin and John on the
piano, constituted the orchestra, but
now a new trio has arisen to contest
the laurels of their older brothers and
sisters. Jule and little Jessie and
Joy, the youngest, hardly able to sit
on the piano stool, are practicing now
with guitar, violin and piano, and
promise soon to be a successful rival.
There is said to be love, happiness
and contentment in the home where
music reigns.

NOT TO QUIT BUSINESS.
Mrs. Wardlaw is Not Going; Out of Busi
ness But is Beady to Meet Cut Prices
Editor Tribune: 1 have been a silent
listener to a lot of gossip among the ladies
in my store the past week. They dont
understand why our dry goods merchants
and milliners are all going out of busi
ness,
They are very much worried to know
where they are to go to furnish them
selves with the numberless garments nec
essary for a lady’s trosieau. But what
seemed to trouble them most of all was
that there would be no more millinery
openings for them to visit. It is so nice
to get their hats and bonnets from their
own accommodating milliners.
Now the mystery to me is how they
gained the impression that I was not
going to sell hats much longer. Certainly
I have said or advertised no cost or going
out business of sales,
I wish to state right here, to relieve
their minds, that I have not the remotest
idea of going out of business yet, and am
not going to sell all my goods at cost.
But I will state this fact most emphatic
cally that lam prepared to meet all so
called cost prices of my competitors.
This I will proveto the entire satisfaction
of all who visit my store.
lam receiving new goods every few
days and will keep posted and supplied
with all the novelties furnished in < ther
cities. Respectfully,
Mrs J. F. Wardlaw.
