12 iTHF. SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 3,1892. Soeiety. Amid all the gayeties of this over crowded week, there was no high so cial function which gave more pleas ure or happiness, to entertainers and entertained, than did the reception which was held on Thanksgiving af ternoon at the Home of the Friend less to all the people of Atlanta who should be interested enough to come. )f those there was a goodly gather ing of about 500 and every heart felt warmer as its owner came away, for this little helpful contact with these lonely ones, whose needs are so great and their blessings so few. Everybody who came brought a donation, and hundreds sent who could not bring; all the Sunday Schools in the city made offerings, and all in all a splendid collection of eatables and useful things of different kinds were gotten together. The inmates of the home were given a splendid dinner of real Thanksgiv ing kind, rnd much were left Over for the days which will follow, calling eaeh one for three invariable and reg ular meals. The dining room was ptettily decorated with flowers and ferns, brought by one of Mrs. Brit tain’s boys. In the morning the chil dren were gathered in the school room, where they read and sang and reefted for the benefit of the visitors who were present. The guests were served very daintily, with light re freshments and carried over the buil ding, whioh in its fresh, new spick and panness is well worth seeing. The nursery was a delight to all who saw it. Several tiny babies are there now, and laughed as gaily and looked as sweet in their neat little gowns, any petted darling of the mothers who went to see them. Among the contributions from the Sunday schools was one which was es pecially touching. The eloquent Su- { lerintcndent had talked very feeling- y to the school about the lonely little ones, who bad no tender parents to watch over them and gratify their wishes and desires. The call for sym pathy went home in the truest way to the heart of one dear child, who was herself an orphan, for when the others brought money and offerings of dif ferent kinds from their parents she came, bearing what had been a real labor of love, a little dress and apron, cut and fashioned by her own childish bands. victory to the tune of 26 to 0. The in terest of the game was enhanced for both spectators and players, by the presence, in carriages, of the pretty sponsors of the opposing sides, Miss Rebie Lowe and Miss Lemon wore the black and yellow of Virginia, and Miss Cornelia Jackson and Miss Lucie Feel were fortunate enough to be the rep resentatives of the boys from Chapel Hill. At the conclusion of the game, Miss Jackson in an apt little speeeh presented to the victors, a mag nificent cut glass punch bowl as a trophy of the occasion from the At lanta Athletic Association. Next year even larger crowds will assemble during Thanksgiving week, if the col lege men decide again to pitch their gridiron towards Atlanta and Brisbine Park. On Monday, Mrs. Henry Porter gave | a very eleg&nt luncheon in honor of Mrs, White, of Athens, who is the [guest of Mrs. Henry Smith, and Mrs. Safford and Miss Rumbough. The j occasion was as delightful, as are all social ones over which Mrs.Porter pre sides. FOOTBALL AS THE GIRLS SEE IT. beget To ree a loot-ball game. And thus to a friend cf ben Did she describe the same: “O, May, yon should have seen them play, ’Twaa each a lovely sight! And though the first game I had seen I uaderstood it quite. "First came tl-.e Yales, all dressed in blue, Then Harvard came in red; One fellow yelled and the rest all tried To jump upon his head. "And then one fellow stopped and stooped, And all the rest got round; And every fellow stopped and stooped And looked hard at the ground. "And then another fellow yelled, And each man, where be stood, Jnst hit and struck and knocked and kicked At every one he could. "And then one fell npon his neck, And all the others ran, prostrate form .man. "And then the ambulance drove on, And loading up with men With twisted necks and broken lungs Went driving off again. "Oh, foot-ball’s just the cutest game I It cannot be surpassed; But yet really it u a shame To use up men so fast.” —Boston Courier. caaa KiiD VUlwiB IttU, And on bis prone and pr Leaped e?ei y blessed i The week of foot ball, at Brisbine Park has afforded a charming after noon resort for all society, and each day the grounds have been crowded with vehicles of all kinds, filled with smartly dressed folks, all interested in the tussle going on before them. The f ame on Saturday was a “fight to nish” between two sets of giants, and Was a revelation to those who saw it. Both teams had been playing hard during the week and traveling beside, and were many of them sore and bruited enough not to court further pommeling, but after the first ball was kicked off, Saturday, not a man even flinched. The boys from North Car olina seemed especially regardless of their persons—They fought and pull ed and pushed like demons and when nothing else would avail one would fling himself on the ground and let the big Virginians trample and stum ble over him; any thing to hold those fellowa back, anything to shut off their coup d'etat, the powerful crowd ing V, with which they charged. Shut it off they did, too, again end again. When North Carolina’s big center rush would hump himself over right in the point of that V, it was com- C lled to break. No letter of the alpha- t could stand against that fellow’s back. And so the Tar Heels snatched The presence in Atlanta, of several charming visitors has afforded an oc casion for a perfect round ot gaieties. Chiefly small as to the number of guests which insures a charming time to those favored. Miss Lowe and her guests, Miss Sophie Harrison, of Chi cago, and Miss Helen Lemon, of St. Joseph, have spent the week in a per fect maelstrom of drives, luncheons and dinners with a seasoning of cotil lions, while a like excess or such cour tesies have been tendered Mrs. Porter and her friends, Mrs. Safford, of Paris and Miss Rumbough, of Tennessee.

In the evening occurred Miss Lowe’s cotillion, which was a beautiful and elegant affair. Eighteen couples danced in the white and green ball room, which was opened for the first time on the occasion of Miss Lowe’s debut, last week. A daintier apartment than this would be hard to find. The deep wainscoting of word paneling is done in green shaded up to white, and the walls above this are covered with dull green palms in artistic groupings. Nu merous little alcoves, are fitted with padded seats and furnished with many softcushions, wherein the pauses of the dance one may sink down to per fect repose. Miss Lowe’s costume on this occasion was in exquisite har mony with the room, being of shim- mery green satin, which set off toper fection her prett y blondness. Miss Harrison wore a gown of yellow satin, with trimmings of violet velvet, Miss Lemon’s toilet was an imported one of blue moire, with amber shad ings trimmed. with amber lace and velvet, and fashioned in Empire style, Mr. Frank Orme led the cotillion very gracefully, and many handsome favors were dispensed.

From her summer spent in that most delightful country, Japan. She returned with many rich glean ings, of which the novel feature of her lovely breakfast were the first fruits. The whole house Is a mass of rich hangings and draperies, which were further adorned with soft trailings of green, and bright bowls and jars of flowers. The Japanese national blos som was, of course, the flower of the occasion and the four large tables held bowls of big yellofy chrysanthemums, while the Candelabra were adorned with shades, which imitated the same bright blossom.

Mr. Moody is in the employ of the Georgia Railrod Company, and is Superintendent of all stationary engines and tanks of that railroad.
