SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
I have a garden in the city's grime,
Where secretly my heart keeps summer
time;
i I - -
Where blows such airs oi rapture on my
eyes
As those best dreamers know in Paradise
Who after lives of longing come at last
Where anguish of vain love is overpast.
When the broad moon lies shadeless on
the street,
And traffic roan and toilers faint with
heat,
When men forget that ever woods were
green.
The wpnders of my garden are not seen.
Only at night the magic doors disclose
Its labyrinths of lavender and rose;
And honeysuckles, white beneath its moon,
Whispers me softly thou art coming soon;
And led by Love’e white hand upon my
wrist > /
Beside its glimmering fountains I keep
tryst. ■
O Love, this moving fragrance on my hair,
Is it thy breath, or some enchanted air.
From far, unchanted realms of mystery
Which I have dreamed of but shall never
seet
O Love, this low, wild music in my ears,
Is it the heart beat of thy hopes and fears,
Or the faint cadence of some fairy song
On winds of boyhood memory Jblown
along ?
O Love, what poignant ecstacy is this
Upon thy lips and eyes ? Thy touch, thy
kiss. —Munsey's Magazine.

The reception at which Mrs. Wilson

noon of the past week in honor of the
Young Matron’s Club was a most en
joyable and elaborate aflair. The lovely
home on Tinsley street was tastefully
decorated with violets, hyacinths, roses
and smilax; persia and cyclamen
formed a beautiful floral fringe over
mantles and cabinets. Bright fires
burning in each room lent a welcome
glow which dispelled all idea of the
intense cold without. In the beautiful
hall the guests were given a delightful*
ly cordial welcome by Mrs. James A.
Stewart, who directed them to the
reception room. . There Mrs. Mathews,
one of our handsomest young matrons,
with the other members of this charm
ing club, received her many friends.'

whipped cream and cake was served
by Misses Marjorie Bialon, Lois Hud
son, Maud Johnson, Eunice Edwards,
Nell Dismuke and Mattie Mathews

to the hail where in a cozy little nook
Miss Roselyn Reid and Miss Gertrude
Hammond dispensed tea and coffee.
Mrs Mathews was charmingly attired
in rose organdie. Mrs. Milton Daniel
waa beautiful in white brocade and jet.

mony by Mr. and Mrs. Victor M.

I. Jones the father of the groom. Col.
Jones’ residence is one of the most
delightful, and its light and warmth

cordial welcome to tbe many guests-
On the first floor tbe rootrfs were all
thrown together and were elaborately
decorated with ferns, palms, potted
plants, cut flowers and festoons of
smilax. In tbe reception room Mr.

in the center of tbe room, was sus
pended a beautiful bell made of white
hyacinths, from which there fell to

broad pink satin with bunches of nat
ural violets pinned their entire length.
Around tbe edges of tbe table there
was a fringe of these same sweet flow

cut glass bowl of carnations, cut glass
dishes of crystalized violets completed
this dainty arrangement.
Mrs. Brown, always handsome, was
elegantly gowned in black satin with
trimmings of pink mouselaine and jet.

Woman’s Rights-
Editor Call: Permit a southern
woman to dissent to the views express
ed by your correspondent in Satur
day’s Call. To the views expressed
in the main I agree, but when he as
sumes that a woman is a citizen I dis
sect.
In the south, thank God, a woman
is not allowed to vote, and in that es
sential particular she is not a citizen.
To the views expressed as to the
rights of women being equal to men,
and if men do wrong legally the wo
men should be permitted to do wrong
also, I dissent. There are no new wo
men, or very few of them, in the
south, and to recognize their right to
do wrong because men do wrong is
not recognized by even those who do
wrong themselves. Tbe laws are made
by men in Georgia, and for the protec
tion of womefi, and far distant the day
when it is considered legitimate to
drag woman down to justify man in
wrong doing.
I take it that the points made by
Woman’s Rights are made in irony
and sarcasm, as showing the inconsis
tency of our laws, but a casual reader
might not take (hat view of them.
Therefore, I beg to very much dissent
to tbe reasoning.
From a New England standpoint
they might be permitted, and trust to
tbe woman vole to change the laws,
but in Georgia we women are willing
to still let the men be the best judges
of what is proper for women, and
therefore to make laws that will pro
tect woman against herself.
With no intention to engage in a
controversy with Woman’s Rights, I
beg to dissent from the views express*
ed and deprecate the comparison of
tha rights of women to do wrong be
cause men do. Old Woman.
At The Olympic.
Appreciating tbe fact that a univer
sal demand exists for high class amuse
ment at popular prices and that tbe
day of dollar attraction is numbered,
Mr. Edwin Travers, who for the past
sixteen years has been identified with
such organizations as A. M. Palmer’s
“Jim the Penman Company” and Wil
liam Gillette’s The Private Secretary,
has concluded to meet tbe demand,
and on Wednesday night Mr Travers
and his excellent company of come
dians will begin a two nights engage
ment at the opera house at popular
prices—so, 35 and 25 cents. The
opening attraction will be Tbe Private
Secretary, and the engagement will
conclude with A Jolly Night, the latest
and greatest New York musical come
dy success.
With this organizafion and at these
prices the standing room only sign
will doubtless ba displayed at both
performances.' Seats are now on sale.
The Modern Way.
Commands itself to tbe well-informed, to

disagreeably as well. To cleanse the

WOMAN’S FOREIGN *
MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
BY THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIN
DISTRICT.
The lady members of the Methodist
church are requested to attend a meet
ing es the auxiliary missionary society
to be held next Monday afternoon at 3
o’clock. Let the whole churoh pray
that the spirit of work may descend
upon the women and children. The
Women should help to Christianize
mankind by doing some specific work
on her own account. Let there be a
good meeting next Monday afternoon
at the Methodist church.
The finances of the Woman’s For
eign Missionary Society have been
well managed. For twenty years I
have not known a single dollar to go
astray. Tbe outlay has also been well
directed. Appropriations are made
from money in hand, and, consequent
ly, we have never been in debt.
Tbe once popular fallacy that it
costs a large amount to contrive mis
sionary contributions to heathen lands
is r*pvily becoming effete Buch a
statement now only provokes a smile
from tbe intelligent. Ideas of this
kind emanate from stupidity or preju
dice. The source of exchange between
Christian and heathen countries is
generally such as to cause values-that
leave our country to appreciate very
materially after arrival upon foreign
shores.
Contributions to convert heathens to
Christianity should always be free will
offerings. God loves a cheerful giver.
Money given for missionarj' purposes
should be accompanied with tbe sin
cere wish that it may do good. When
the gift leaves our hands, our respon
sibility ceases. When we place a gift
upon tbe altar, let us take oar hands
off. Wherf we bestow our goods for a
good cause, let absolute title pass from
our possession.

Frightful Runaway.
Yesterday afternoon Elder T. J.
Head, of Brushey, drove his horse to
the passenger station in this city, and

By some means the horse became

Hill street he turned around the Odd
Fellows building, and collided with a
wagon.
The bugfcy was smashed into splint
ers while tbe horse escaped injury.
