■ . ~ Vnl X No 4 SOCIALSALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. She’d * thorn in bar finger—a fair finger, too; Wernle I help? then she smiled at the thought. She’d a tear in her eye, and that smile glistened through Like a sunbeam that laughs from a clear ; drop of dew. I was hopelessly, helplessly awkward, I knew, But refuse her request, I could not For a moment in pine lay her fingers so fair, , 7 • But a moment was time and enough For an impulse to grow it were madness to dare, With the morning wind sighing in whisp ers, “Take care;” * . But warnings—how vain! when that tear solitaire silently fell to my cuff. I kissed her. Her lips were not fashioned for scorn, So. forgave me, and vowed to forget— Forget that a love without hope had been born *• In the glad golden joy ol that midsummer morn; Forget! while the pain of that sharp little thorn Rankles my heart even yet The first of September generally marks the dosing of the summer sea son, but this year it is quite different, and everyone is runing away from town, and those who have been away don’t tbink of returning until they are assured that the cool weather has arrived. Griffin bears the reputation of being one of the healthiest places in tie United States, and statistics show that her death record is very low, but nevertheless there are lew places that so lavishly contributes to the population of summer resorts. This annual hot weather emigration might be attributed to restlessness, but when we remember that New York city is socially depopulated for the quarter of the year beginning with July, we realise that Griffin is cosmo politan in her tastes if not io her size. , From the middle of June until the Ist 1 of October rest reigns supreme, and the sway is so complete that people ( almost forget such things as balls and receptions ever existed ; even calls are \ neglected, and only an occasional dance at tbe Griffin German Club , rooms reminds the “stay at homes" that they can waltz at all. True, not absence from home nor appreciation of tbe need of rest, prevent some of tbe belles of Griffin from being the belles of summer resorts where they visit and through her charming femi nine representatives this Georgia city < has become famous at tbe springs and mountains of Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, and of course Georgia. Mies Maude Johnson is easily win ning and gracefully wearing new lau rels at Rock Bridge, Alum Springs, N. 0., and Mias Florrie Jean RichaHs really created a sensation at Porter Springs, Ga., by her beauty and charm. Mias Emma Johnson, who has been so seriously ill, is at Indian Springs, 1 and is the most interesting invalid r imaginable. She is not yet strong enough to dance, but her weakness is entirely physical and her characteris tically bright mentality and irresista ble personal charm attract to her all that is brightest and beet in the sur rounding humanity. Miss Roeelyn Reid was an acknowl edged belle of Warm Springe and Mies Anna Blount Beeks is making a tri umphant tour of northern and western resorts under the chaperonage of her aunt, Mrs. D L. Johnson, of Little Rock, Ark. • • • Mr. and Mrs. William J. Kincaid complimented Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Thoms, Colonel and Mre. Candler and Major Marcus Beck with a dinner party on Tuesday evening.

Mrs. Thomas is a petite brunette who counts her friends by the score. Sbe dresses exquisitely and her toilette for thia occasion was unusually elegant. With a very handsome black taffetas skirt, Mrs. Thomas wore a lovely rose pink taffe tas waiet with collar and belt of white satin.

The Brawner home is one of tbe most attractive in tbe city and on this occasion a great pro fusion of flowers and ferns made it even lovelier than usual. Tbe Mieses Brawner are charming girls, than whom there are no more delightful hostesses. Miss Brawner wore a lovely pink sprigged organdie which was very becoming to her blonde beatuy.

Buffering humanity should be sup plied with every means possible . for its relief. It is with pleasure we pub lish tbe following: “This is to certify that I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow Jaundice for over six months, and was treated by some of the best physicians in our city and all to no avail.
