PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL,
In “Song* of War and Peace” Sam
Waller Fob* baa put lb* themes of
thia turbulent year into moat delight
fnl verse. In bi* “Song of the Gan
non,” "War," “Farragut to Dewey,”
and “The Awakening of Uncle Bam.”
There is the given force of short •trik
ing words in keeping with tbe subject.
In tbe process of peace, Mr Foss also
keeps up with tbe time*, interpreting
the maneuvres of the great machines,
putting intn rhyme tbe simple, sturdy
work of the farmer and the pioneer.
A vien of humor pky* through hi*
lines too. There is always more than
the jingle of-verse in Mr. Foes' verer,
for every couplet contain* a thought.
“Under Dewey at Manila,” by Edward
Btralemyer, is a new kind of naval sto
ry for boys The sea stories-tbal have
so charmed young and old, are obso
lete, and Mr. Btratmeyer is tbe first to
find what a boy would find on a battle
ship of today. This ia combined with
a vivid and accurate description of tbe
memorable contest at Gavite, and a
rich store of historical and geographi
cal information skillfully presented.
The chapter telling the story of Admi
ral Dewey's life is of special interest.
The hero, while full of life and vigor,
which render him abundantly able to
take care of himself in his perilous ad
ventures, is manly, true, and. clean
throughout, rendering the book whole
some as well as decidedly thrilling.
“Pauline Wyman,” by Hopbie May, is
the tale of a bright, vivacious New
England girl, whose strong and beau
tiful character is developed by her en
viionment of rugged bill country.
How she overcomes unfavorable sur
roundings, her experience in teaching
school, the interesting circumstances
in a young girl’s life, are all told with
that same originality and freshness
which have drawn a multitude of
yonng people the author’s previous
works. "Sophie May” writes with a
remarkable insight into the thought
and life of girls, and shows an un
affected sympathy in tbe perplexities,
aspirations and disappointments of
their experience. “The Boys with Old
Hickory,” by Everett T. Tomlinson, is
a story of adventures of the war of
1812. The author, like Oliver Oplie,
learned by nature as a teacher, and be
knows well bow to arouse and main
tain their interest while be depicts
historical events on sea and land, and
gives them correct views of the same
The events presented are stirring
enough to interest any boy, and tbe
reading of the book can hardly fail to
arouse a true spirit of patriotism, as
well as inspire him to desire further
historic knowledge.

Mrs. Millon D. Mitchell was tbe
hostess at a delightful affair on Mon
day afternoon, given in honor of the
Dorcas Society. Mrs. Mijchell’s pretty
home on South Hill street was beauti
fully decorated with roses and ferns,
and the occasion was one of tbe most
happy in tbe history of tbe society.
Mrs Mitchell, than whom there is not
a more charming hostess in Griffin,
was unusually bright and attractive on
Monday afternoon. She wore a beau
tiful summer frock of white muslin,
with handsome black sash. After the
discussion of important matters of
business, there was a most interesting
programme of music and recitations.
Elegant refreshments closed a happy
afternoon.

A pleasing and quite a new fad in
house decoration converts the home
as nearly as possible into reproduc+faj
of natural scenery. A careful disposi
tion of mirrors »nd clever arrangement
of potted plants transforms a room in
to a remarkable similitude of a lake
with luxuriant vegetation lining its
shores. Instead of an inlaid table or
especially inviting tete-astete a center
piece, there may be a massing of
blocks of wood, with some of the nat
ural bark remaining, or even some
huge stones brought back from a
mono tain jaunt, with some conven
ient moss thrown over it, some tall
plants jutting from among them, and
this group repeated io two cr three
spots io the room gives color to th*
illusion of a "mountain room."
