Trte-a-Tete Drives
This ataajisrr fails completely to 1
understand why the custom of «mut!
girls driving with men is permitted
here.
It was quite amusing the way thisj
observation came about. She ralmlr .
announced that Mr A. was engaged
to Miss U. There was a chorus of
surprised questions.
“Of course I haven't directly heard
the announcement." ahe aald. "but
there can be no doubt about It; for
the other day when I was wheeling
with a party of friends, we saw theurj
driving together on the Sandbar Ferry
road. If that Isn’t equivalent to an
announcement. I should like to know:
what is."
A dozen people hastened at once to
explain, bui the thought suggested left
a doubt in more than one mind.
The system of chaperonage Is of:
course sometimes carried to an ex- j
trrtne In some cities, but It Is not only
the most conservative who think it I
is too greatly disregarded here. Chap
erones are desirable not because our :
girls and even our men cannot be |
trusted to carry themselves with the ,
greatest dignity Bnd propriety, but he-;
cause the pubic cannot be trusted j
not to grasp at a straw to malign a
woman's cha acter.
In all other cities of this sitte. North,:
East. South and West, even In At- ;
lanta. the least conservative of Oeor- j
gia cities, It Is considered bad form
for a girl to go driving or wheeling
accompanied simply by one male fs- ,
cort not her relative or fiance, and
that Is wh--" strangers criticise, or are
at least curious when they set; our
girls —the most refined and gracefully
dignined in the whole world-taking
thee little excursions with anyone who
happens to Ask them.
On Invitations to the German.
Our observer is both surprised and
amused at the stress laid by our girls
upon invitations to the germans. At
a luncheon the other day, she said,
two girls were perfectly radiant be
cause they had just received invita
tions to the fust german, when they
thought they were to be ignored for
this one time.

lout by gl«ln« tuu the it. m* And
'what do you mean t>y aaylnc you
would not go lo the bouse of anyone
litu an Intimate friend to obtain an
j item? la It ever’ neceasarjr to go? I
always thought ibear things were
written up for the papers by the peo
ple who gave the parties. I have
known ever so many women reporters
In a great many etilea. and yon are
the first one who ever complained of
not having society material enough
Only a frv weeks ago 1 was talking to
two bright girls on n great dally In a
neighboring rily. and they told me
their work was almost all editorial."
This was a subject on which the
newspaper woman was not averse to
talking, and she had a great deal to
say on the subject that would not be
of Interest to th# public at large
"Have ;*ou ever gone to the house of
a stranger, or even of a mere ac
quaintance and asked for facta con
cerning parties to which you were not
invited or about weddings to which
you had had no cards? geked her
sympathizer.
"Certainly not."
"Well, then, assuming that you have
been In the habit of writing only of
the people In whose circle you move,
and concerning whose affairs you have
a legitimate right to know something,
so to speak, have you ever written i
anything of such a persona! nature |
that it would Ire indel.catc? in other j
words, have you made use of in a pub
lie way of Information you would con-,
slder you had no right to scatter
broadcast as a private Individual?" |
“Not consciously. Not at all, so far
as I know.” |
"Is it simply a whim of the editor or,
your paper to publish a society col- j
umn. or is there a demand for it? I)o
the women who object to figuring In
this column object *o readlnr it ?
“I am lather under the impression
that they are the first to read it. They
either do not understand or ignore the
law of reciprocity."
“Well I know you would be glad
enough never again to write another
socle-tv-Item. It can’t, be exactly pleas
ant to have one friend tell you she
was glad you were no longer editing
a certain column, as formerly she had
been afraid to go down the street with
you for fear someone would say she
was making an efTort after newspaper
notoriety—it is a fact that much of
these objections come from the fear
of what somebody will say and to
have another friend say she did not
dare to invite you to her party be
cause all the other members of the
club she was entertaining would say
you were Invited in order that you
might write of her skill as a hostess.
So, ail things considered, it seems to
me it would be a good plan to ask
every woman who requests the omis
sion of her name to write a note to

There t* one wtae woman who *aya
she never has spring and fall cleaning,
for abc keep* thing* in order all the
year around; but most people find #
general turning up twice a year an
absolute necessity. They would not
find the effort so tremendou*. If they
would only remember that Rome waa
not built In a day. and that It t*
hardly necessary to erowd into one
day the work that should fill a week
or more.
An old farmer gave a city matron
some advice thl* summer that might be
1 followed with advantage by every
housekeeper.
"You better learn to do as I do; I
make strength by a-savln' o’ what I’ve
got."
In packing up the summer clothing,
j |t |g well to remember that the old
fashioned notion that It Is Injurious
to pack away washable materials
"done up" Is an exploded one, and that
It is not at all necessary to pack away
everything rough-dry. Carefully laun
dered articles take up less room in
( best or closet, and nothing can ex
ceed the comfort of having fresh clean
garments to put on. without prepa*a
tlon, when the first warm days come
and the winter clothing is unbearable.
Apropos of this, an authority says
that It should be remembered that
cambrics or cottons In dress fabrics
should always be dried In a dark
place, and that the most delicate col
ors won. retain their brightness with
out fading as long as they were Tsed,
if dried quickly In a darkened room.
Amelia Rives at Tuxedo.
The presence at Tuxedo last week
of Prince and Princess Pierre Trou
betzkoy has been the occasion for
much interesting comment. The ac
quaintances of the princess, nee Ame
lia Rives, had not seen her for some
time, and were Inclined to give cre
dence to the reports of her severe ill
ness until they saw her at Mrs. Alex
ander's on Thursday evening enjoy
ing the best of health. It was a pleas
ure to the many friends of the South
ern novelist to welcome her back lo
Tuxedo It is possible that the Prince
and Princess Troubetzkoy may pass
part of the winter in New York.
Should they so decide a prominent po
sition in society awaits them.

CIVIC PAR a Lib.
A Orand Day at the Philadelphia
Jubilee.
The following letter I* received by
en Augusta lady from a friend In the
east;
At breakfast tbo day of the civic t>a- I
rade, It was one reiterated interroga
tion, "Are you going?” The men i
| folks" had seen the naval display; 1
made preparations to go civic day, i
which the rain frustrated; had wit-j
nessed the glory of military day, and
declared with regrets that they must
la* "on duty.” .Should me mind It?
An unspoken decision was in our |
hearts, and when one voiced It, the
rest acknowledged they were of like ,
mind, so the deck was cleared for ac
tion, and we three “lone women” were;
1 S oon off. We decided on Market street
|for our best point of observation, and
I having the car at Second street, wc
hurried tip to Fifth, through which j
street they were to pass to Chestnut, i
What was the good of hunting for a
more desirable place and getting left ,
In the end? It was only a short time j
before the line of march would begin, j
the people were gathering from near;
and far, progress becoming more and
more Impeded, so we took our stand
at Flu- and Mar et and waited for
an opportunity to get seats, which was
not long coming. “Here you are, grand
stands ten cents," and we were soon
the possessors of a peach basket
apiece. They were new —no luscious
fruit bad ever nestled in them among
green leaves, and surely they had nevpr
seen Jubilee service. We settled our
selves and laid our plans for souvenir
scrap baskets, for we all decided to
take them home, and visions of artis
tic draping with the tri-color held tn
place with a jubilee medal of cute lit
tle bows, of cunningly devised handles,
floated through our brains, while the
~r o wd began to increase, and we could

dustriously, and In thin line of the
hardest workers lias been Frederic
Remington, who describee and IHua
tnit ph the life with the Fifth corps In
Harper's Magazine for Noveml>er. He
is as yet unable to decide which la the
worst-sleeping In a mud-puddle, be
ing confined on a troop ship, or shot
at. They are all irrltntlng, and when
done on an empty stomach, with the
object of improving one's mind, they
are extravagantly expensive: but as
they satisfied a life of longlug to see
men do the greatest thing men are
called upon to do, he Is content. He
Hunks the direct and only cause of all
the privation and delay which became
so notable In Shafter's operations was
duo to the fact that the command wa#
sent Into the field without the proper
ratio of pack-mules. Before San Juan
bill the men wpre on half-rations on
account of lack of supplies, aad were
out of tobacco, which Is very neces
sary to the well-being of a soldier.
Towards the end of the fight, when
he was going to the rear, the sight, of
the road was indescribable. All the
broken splints, bloody bodies, hope
less, helpless suffering, which drags
its weary length to the rear, are so
much more appalling than anything
else in the world that words do not
mean anything to one who has not
seen It. Men half-naked, men sitting
down on the road-side utterly spent,
men hopping on one foot with a rifle
for a crutch, men out of their minds
from sunstroke, men dead, and men
dying. Tne story of the bravery, pa
tience and fortitude of our men is ad
mirably Illustrated and described In
Mr. Remington’s article.
There Is nothing more musical than
the voice of a mule to another mule.
