THE MORNING CALL
Vol IX. No. 173.
SOCIALjALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Study the new parasols if you wish
to karu the latest frills of fashion.
They reflect not only the tints, but the
designs of the Spring fabrics.
There are corded and tucked, plaid
ed and striped parasols, just like the
new gowns.
Parasols made entirely of ribbon are
all the vogue. The Asps-ia is one of
the special novelties of the season. It
is made of row after row of narrow
satin ribon, and is serviceable as well
as fashionable.
The plaid silk parasols are seen in
a grea-t variety. Some are made en
tirely of a dashing plaid silk, while
others show an artistic combination of
plaid silk, dainty tucks in a contrast
ing color, and frills of lace.
Parasols of net are much in fashion.
The prettiest are trimmed with ribbon
arranged in B&yadere stripes. To
carry with an organdie gown there is
nothing daintier than a white net
parasol over a delicate shade of silk
and trimmed with ribbon blending
with the foundation silk in color.
Carriage parasols are also shown in
a great variety this spring, and minia
ture reproductions of the larger sun*,
shades in both boloring and design.
The parasol with the adjustable
handle is the parasol of the hour. It
appeals not only to the economical
woman, but to the capricious young
woman always craving change. This
parasol is also particularly convenient
in packing, as its handle may be easily
slipped off, and it is then just the right
size for comfortably fitting in the
ordinary trunk.
The newest, most up-to-date handles
are made of gun metal. They are ex
ceedingly stylish and plain, but the
most beautiful are studded with imita
tion jewels The nmathyst, the tur
quoise and tbe topaz are much used
for the purpose. Imitation emeralds
and garnets are also much in favor.
Sometimes the gun meta! handle will
have one large-jewel forming the top,
and then again the entire handle will
be thickly studded with tiny jewels, or
they will cross the parasol in rings at
certain intervals apart.
The parasol handle with the top
forming a purse for change is one of
tbe novelties of the season. By touch
ing a bidden spring the top of the
parasol opens and discloses a place just
large enough for the safe keeping of
five and ten cent pieces.
The parasol handle which may also
be used as a bonbon box is another
favorite handle.
Theu the handies of natural wood,
colored to match the parasol, are par
ticularly in fashion. When they are
used with a plaid silk parasol they are
colored io match the most conspicuous
tint in the plaid. All the plain han
dles of tbe parasols are ornamented
with big bows of ribbon.

Miss Lois Hudson, one of our bright
est and handsomest girls, returned
Friday from a visit to Atlanta friends.
Miss Hudson’s beauty and very agree
able manners make her greatly liked
by all wherever she goes, and that her
popularity has not waned was evidenc
ed by the niany attentions shown her
during her last visit to Atlanta. One
of the most delightful of the entertain
ments given in her honor was Miss
Neebii’s luncheon on Thursday last.
Miss Nesbit’s home is one of tbe pleas
antest and most charming in Atlanta

decorated with cut flowers and potted
plants. Quantities ol American Beau

elegantly served :
Curry of Veal.
Hot Canned Salmon and Oysteys.
Cream Biscuit, Plum Salad.
Spiced Cocoa, Current Buns.

be given April 12 al the Olympic

Andover, Mass. Miss Marsland is a
bright, pretty and attractive young
woman, and by her rare beautiful
personality has already made many
warm friends in social Griffin.
* • •
On yesterday afternoon Mrs. Martin
complimented Miss Marsland With a
pretty 5 o’clock tea. White and pur
ple were the colors of the floral deco
rations used, and the delightful menu
showed the same delicate tints. In
the dining room the table was a pic
ture of loveliness. The silver centre
piece was heaped with purple and
white lilac and rested on an exquisite
square embroidered in wisteria. Across
the table were broad purple ribbons
caught at the four corners with great
bunches of the same feathery, fragrant
blossoms. In this, the Lenten season,
there is nothing to do save talk and
it goes without saying, that this even
ing passed all too quickly in bright,
happy conversation.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1898.
TO ARMS!
The Nation Upon the Verge of War
With Spain-
Everybody is talking war, and the
mcM conservative now admit that a
conflict is inevitable.
Every hour the war clouds thicken
and become more apparent that
unless Spain takes the back track
that before another Sunday morning
dawns a fierce conflict will be raging
between this country and Spain.
McKinley proceeded cautiously
while tbe greatest activity has been
urged in the navy and for fort
defenses, and yesterday the ultimatum
went to Spain that war must slop in
Cuba.
This declaration by the president
dissipates all hope for peace, as it is
known that a powerful fleet of torpedo
and war vessels is now at sea, headed
for Cuban waters for the purpose of
driving away our navy.
This fleet is expected to arrive by
Friday next, when it will be met by
the most powerful war ships of this
country and a demand to halt and
bout face be given.
No prophet is needed to foretell
Spain’s reply. It will be the most
powerful and desperate contest for
supremacy ever known any
waters by any governments.
Americans have faith in the superi
ority of tbeir navy and men, and
believe the contest will soon end in
triumph to our flag and the subse
quent freedom of struggling Cuba.
The secretary of the navy yesterday
asked the governors of the Southern
States how many men they could
mobilize in Atlanta upon emergency
orders, and the governors of Alabama
and Louisiana to at once draft a naval
reserve for the defense of Mobile and
New Orleans.
Tbe government yesterday bought
more war sbipa and torpedo boats
abroad, and tbe secretary of war yes
terday issued orders for tbe immediate
painting of the hull of all the war ships
of the navy black, which is the "war
paint” of our country.
Everything is excitement from
Portland to Key West, while a firm
conviction pervades our every branch
of service of a brief conflict and glori
ous victory.
<lSo mote it be.
Card of Thanks-
I, and my entire household, desire
thus publicly to thank the members
of tbe different fire departments, and
