Why Waltz Music Is Sad,
That waltz music is the saddest of ail
music has been commented upon. Noth
ing brings back the memory of days
that are no more, and of one’s lost
youth, so much as the swinging minor
cadence and repetition of an old familiar
trois temps, “Oh, how far! Oh, how
far!” it seems to say to the common
place middle-aged people who are listen
ing, are the “days gone by,’’ “days
gone by;” while in the youug the
rhythmic measure awakens a feeling of
sadness and longing—
That is not akin to rain.
And resembles sorrows only
As mist resembles rain.
“Weal or woe” it repeats—“ Weal or
woe,” which will it be? Ah, which will it
be? One of Strauss’ lovely minor melo
dies is called “The Good Old Time
Waltz.” “Great heavens!” exclaimed a
woman past her first youth, “fancy
waltzing to the memory of old times! A
requiem or a funeral march would be
better suited to the name!’’
Still the world dances on, and if the
music has a sob in it, what wonder!

JB The reception tendered by Mr.
jOk and Mrs. George Wright, and
Miss Hill, Thursday evening, at

fully decorated with evergreens, and
the refreshments consisting of novelty
ices, cakes, and chocolate, were dainty

antly. Mrs. C. F. McCrary, Mrs. Alvin
Omberg, Mrs. H. D. HUI and Mrs.
Gardner, assisted by four dainty little
Misses, served refreshments and added
to the gaiety of the evening. Miss Hill
is one of the most charming of the young
girls of Rome, and is a perfect
entertainer. Tne list is so extensive we
cannot publish it all.
Mr. Laurie Cothran, one of Rome’s
brightest boys who is making a great rep
utatiou at the state university both in
athletics and his studies, is home for

The Augusta Herald prints the follow
ing comment:
The voluntary death of Miss Bii a
Herbert in Washington as the result of
acute melancholia and perhaps tempor
ary mental aberation is one of the pa
the tic tragedies of recent years. It
is difficult for those who so recently
saw her in the pride and promise of
youth and health to realize that her
sweet voice has been stilled forever that
the ojmp.inionable friend, the gracious
hostess has been out down in the very
flower of young womanhood. .
She was a typioaj-eontbeni girl and
In her Alabama home was 1 always Sur
rounded with Scores of warm friends
and admirers.
The same gift for contributing suc
cessfully to the pleasures of others
found an excellent field in the social life
of Washington. Though young in years
she took up the exacting duties of a lady
of the cabinet and presided over the
home of the hospitable secretary with a
grace and eavoir fairs rarely encountered
in one so young. She achuved a
triumph in a realm where many older
and more experienced women have
failed. There was always an especially
warm corner in ber heart and home for
her southern friends and not a few turn
with tender memories to the happy
hours they have spent as her guests.
She has passed into the insoluble
mystery of death. With the flush of
young womanhood fresh upon her and
a future bright and happy opening be
fore her she has gone into the shadows
like a ship that
“Goes down at sea
While all is sweet tranquility.’’
The circumstances were such as to
lend additional bitterness to grief, but
she will be remembered as she was in
days of happiness and health before the
blighting touch which brought ber end
had fallen upon her, and her influence
will linger in the hearts of those who
knew and loved her like perfume in the
flowers.
