The mignonette, the violet In vain with incense pray’d- He never thought that flow’rs meant aught Until he loved a maid. He heard a mavis calling, He heard—and then forgot! ' - - A lark leapt high and thrilled the sky. He heard—and wondered not! All fain to please among the tress, Birds peeped and piped and played— He’dne’er repeat: “Dear God, how sweet!” Until he loved a maid. He never dreamed of Beaty. He never blessed the World: ft- The heath ered hills, the rippling rills, The sea’s foam-flag uniurled, The summer’s prime, the winter’s rime, - The sunshine and the shade-- He did not care that Earth was fair Until he loved a maid. She came! and, with her advent The very stars drew near, And every bird his spirit stirred, AncVevery flow’r grew dear. . And all the Earth went mad with mirth To hear his homage paid— “Oh sure,” he said, “I was as dead Until I loved a matdr’—J. J. Bxuu •• * • The patriotism that finds vent in adjusting the national colors to an autumn wardrobe may not be of the highest order. Yet it exists and henee has to be considered. And it is quite possible that there io a deal of genuine patriotism as well as love of \ novelty in the heart of the girl who wears the read, while and blue shirt waist. Bed, white and blue is un doubtedly the color-combination of the season. There are red, white and blue ginghams, flannels, silks and ribbons; there are even red, white and blue stockings and hats. Children will wear the bats and it is to be hoped that no one will wear the stock ings Good taste has at last set a limit to this patriotic fashion caprice, and petticoats trailing the colors of Old Glory in the dust are among the things barred out. But waists and parasols, neckties and sashes, bat bands, handkerchiefs and belts, will be manufactured, sold and worn until the war with Spain is no more. Tailor suits and capes in military cut and colors will be worn, and in fact are being worn by the most conservative, nt her sex. It is equally appropriate in military gray lined with infantry red, or in deep blue lined with cavalry yellow, finished in either case with black braid and brass buttons. As for the boys, their patriotic souls will revel in things identical with the one worn by the United States “Jackies,” •nd the girls of patriotic instincts will wear blouses and sailor hats, and ted, white and blue ribbons to ber heart’s content. • • a Mies Sal lie Berrien, who has been the guest of the Misses Beid on Pop» lar street will return to her home in Waynesboro Monday. Miss Berrien’s pretty face and charming personality have w)n for her innumerable friends during ber stay in Griffin. The Dorcas Seciety will be enter tained by Mrs. B. F. Doe Monday week at the usual fortnightly social meeting. U. B. U. club complimented a Wpftimber of tbeir friends with a de lightful fancy dress affair at the home of Mrs. E. R. Richards on Tuesday evening last Mrs. Bicbards’ pretty borne was artistically decorated with cut flowers of every description, and stately palms lent tbeir beauty to the charming scene.-' Miss Mary Kate Doe and Mr Holston Carlisle received the prises for the most charming cos tumes. Tempting refreshments were served at a late hour. • • » The Misses Nall have as tbeir guest the charming Miss Corinne Tebeanlt, of New Orleans. Mies Tebeault has visited Griffin many times and it goes without saying that on the occasion of this visit, she will again be the re cipient of numberless lovely attentions, j . ** ♦ Once more the boutonniere—the L ««n»ll bouquet for the coat buttonhole —has come, and it is the edict of | men’s costumes now that a man & should always have this touch of flow ers on his coat To invariably wear a boutonniere is, of course, extreme form, but it will be now for some months the very best style to be , thus adorned in the early morning or the late afternoon. There is a new thing about these boutouniers—they must match , our necktie or, rather, harmonise with it. Thus a red flower must be worn with a red tie, or a blue with a blue, and so on. This seems a small and unimportant point, but it is worth remembering. ♦ * •• e The D. A. B.’s held a very pleasant meeting with Mrs. B J. Bedding at ber lovely borne at Experiment Station yesterday afternoon. • » • The Social Circle was entertained by Mrs M. J. Daniel ether home on Poplar street, on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Daniel is a charming woman and a perfect hostess and the afternoon was a very delightful one for all. Bus iness matters of importance were dis cussed, after wb’Bh elegant refresh ments were served. Mrs. Grundy has laid so many re strictions upon the presents a man 1 may make to a girl who is “just a very good friend,” that it is a relief to dis cover a novel gift of this sort indorsed 1 by fashioti, and pretty in itself. It is a silver cyclometer, and if the girl friend is anything of a wheel-woman 1 (bow many are not, as a matter of 1 fact) she is certain of being pleased. Even if mademoiselle rides but indif ferently the sharm of the present will not be diminished in her eyes. This will be one of the most fashionable gifts this season, and there is a bit of 1 sentiment in connection wtth it, for as the man bands it over, he makes the condition that the girl must ride a ' certain number of miles and report to 1 him when the cyclometer registars that distance. Thus be constitutes 1 himself her wheeling guardi»n. * Miss Will Wyche, of Warm Springe, is the guest ofMies Ines Hammond on South Hill street. Miss Wyche is a beautiful girl with bright charming J manners, and will receive many pleas- < ant attentions while in Griffin. i • * • Miss Nall and Mias Rebecca Nall were the hostesses at an elegant lunch eon last Friday. The Nall home, which is very handsome, was lovely with its profuse decorations of flowers, ferns and palms, and a graceful drap ing of red, white and blue bunting on ; the walls. Miss Nall was charming in a pretty gown of white organdie with a wide sash of pink satin ribbon. Miss Rebecca Nall wore a dainty costume of pink mousselaine de soie, which was exceedingly becoming to her bru nette loveliness. An elegant menu was served in the handsomely appoin ted dining room. ♦ • • The friends of Miss Loraine King will learn with deep regret that she intends returning to ber home iu Joplin, Mo., this week. Miss King has been one of Griffin’s most popular visitors this season, and has bad m<ny pretty courtesies shown ber. V _ ' ■ » O♦ ♦ ♦ The Young Matrons’ Club will meet with Mrs. Joseph M.
