SOCIALSALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. Oh heart of mine, we shouldn’t Worry so! Whet we’re missed ofcalm we couldn’t Have, you know! What we’ve missed of stormy pain, And of sorrow’s driving rain, We can better meet again If it blow. We have erred in that dark hour We have known, When our tears fell with the shower. All alone— Were not shine and shadow blent As the Gracious Master meant? Let us temper our content With His own. For, we know, net every morrow - Can be sad; So, forgetting all the sorrow We have had, Let us fold away our fears And put by our foolish tears, And through all the coming years Just be glad. * • • It is not a bit too early in the season to begin to think over and plan about what we shall give for Christmas. War souve nirs are so much in vogue just now and will be for some time to come, that the girl who can make her Christmas gilts .a memory of war time sentiment will be the most popular one at the holiday season. One particular girl, with this in view, has set her wits to work and has evolved a novel war-time sofa-pillow. These pillow presents are especially intended for girl friends. The foundation of the cushion is divine, in any desired shade, ana is bound with red, white and blue ribbons, with bows of the national colors at each corner. On the diyine cover are embroidered the names, initials, or monograms of all the soldier Mends of the girl for whom the present is intended. The embroidery is done in colored silk or flosses. These semi-patriotic sentimental sofa-cushions promise to play a prominent part among the uniqe Christmas presents to be received this year. ♦ * • The Dorcas Society held the usual semi monthly business meeting Monday after noon at the residence of Mrs. Thomas Mills.

The church was ef fectively decorated with palms, ferns and pure white chrysanthemums, and was filled with the friends of the bride and groom. The Rev. Henry J. Ellis, father of the bride and the beloved pastor of St. John’s, performed the ceremony which was the sweet and simple one of the Meth odist ritual. There was only one brides maid, Miss Susie Ellis, the beautiful sister of the bride. She was gowned in a dainty and becoming frock of white taffe ta, exquisitely fashioned. She carried a shower bouquet of bridesmaid roses. Mr. John Ward, of this city, acted as Prof. Ragland’s beat man and the ushers were Mr. Frank Johnston, Mr. Myron Freeman, Mr. Charles I.

The Smith residence, on the corner of Broad and Thirteenth streets, is spa cious and charmingly arranged for enter taining. The .hall, which is unusually large, together with the diningroom and library, were decorated with palms and chrysanthemums, in one apartment the white blossoms being used, in another the yellow, and in the third, thedark crimson. The drawing room was particularly love ly, the pink of the La France roses con trasting beautifully with the delicate tints of the walls. Mrs. Crouch received the guests in an elegant costume of blue and apple-green grenadine, with an effective trimming of white silk and passementerie. Her sister, Mrs. Chas. Wolcott, was attired in black and white, with trimmings of ce rise. These two sisters are very handsome women, and together made a striking pic ture. Mrs. William Davis, who is one of Griffin’s acquisitions within the past two years, and than whom there is no more popular woman in the city, also assisted Mrs. Crouch, and added greatly to the pleasure of the afternoon. A pleasant word contest resulted in the prize, a great bunch of handsome chrysanthemums, fall ing to Miss Opal Smith. During the game a refreshing beverage was served the guests by Marjorie Hays Wolcott, the beautiful little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wolcott. The luncheon served was elegant, and closed the afternoon very happily. Beside the members of the club, Mrs. Crouch’s guests were Mrs. Robert F, Strickland, Mrs. William D. Davis, Miss Hattie Head. • • • The Griffin Relief Association will meet at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning at the Y. M. C A, « • • Mrs. Edgar J.

Her passing was aa peaceful j as her life. r Mrs. Drake was born in Zebulon, Pike county, Ga , May 13, 1843, and when but a child moved to Griffin, where she received her education, and as Mias Reaves, was a belle. She mar • ried Mr Gilman J.

I Whew the P«»e Dies, If Will Be Kx- That wonderful old man, Leo XIII, has 1 really made another recovery. It was only the other morning that, turning to . his personal attendant, he said with his sweet smile, “Well, Pio, I wonder what they will say now, those clever persons 1 who have killed and buried me so often > in the last 20 years.’’ | Cavaliere Pio Centra, the private servant ,of Leo Xlll,halls from Carplneto,the birth ' place of his master. He is more even than • a faithful and privileged servant, he Js a I constant companion. This intimate oon . neotion with his holiness dates back even before the ascension of Leo XIII to the pautl throne. Pio invariably sleeps in a - small chamber next the bedroom of the f pope, and there is between the two ao thin , a partition that he can even hear the pontiff’s breathing. At aU Mnaaarbete able to keep aurveillanoe by the aid of a little glass window, which is at the head i of his bed. With the telephone he is put in constant connection with the pope’s doctor, Professor Lappen i, who lives out ' of the Vatican. Besides this eminent physician there are two assistant doctors, i who live in the palace and have tbe care ! of the health of the 500 souls who oom prise the population of the Vatican. In 1 the days of Pius IX there were many more who made their abode there. ; Even now that the pontiff is so old and . for from feeling robqst, he insists on ris ing early. About 6 o’clock Cavaliere Pio > Centra knocks at his door, enters, opens the , shutters and retires immediately, as his holiness has never liked assistance in his ordinary dressing, but lately he has had to give way somewhat, and his valet re turns to buckle his shoes and tie the white sash he wean with his white robes. By an arrangement between the police and the papal authorities a window next the papal apartments is kept open daring the day and closed at night, but with a lighted lamp behind it. The shutting of the window in day or the putting out of the light at night means that something unusual has happened, and that help is needed. In case of the illness of the pope i this singular sign would mean that he is dead. An Italian sentinel is continually watching the window.* However, this did not prevent tbe mistake of General Della Rocca, undersecretary of state at the home office in the Crisp! cabinet in 1878, who ( announced in the house the death of Pius IX live hours before it took place.—Pall Mall Gazette.
