A little maid of four Watches the wheels go round; And never, never fast enough To move for her they’re found. A lass of sweet sixteen Thinks not how fsst or slow— Life is so fair—she careth not Howe'er the wheels may go. The dame pi ripening years, In their relentless play, ■ Wills not to watch the whirling wheels The fast hands fain would stay. But yet—there comes a time When life’s high noon is past— The aged watcher, like the child, Would have the wheels turn fest For sunset means to her Night’s rest, and then a dawn When life and love divine shall bless In heaven the beauteous morn! ;• • • . Do the majority of women, I won der, realize that a bright and intelli gent face is always attractive, no mat ter what the features may be This attractiveness depends almost entirely upon the expression, and in its turn expression depends to a groat extent on character. A sullen and disagreea ble expression will be invariably seen when the disposition is a soured and discontented one. And a bright, good natnred expression belongs to the un selfish who thinks of the comfort of others oftoner than hsr own. Perhaps thio is one of the chief reasons why women who have some occupation in life are so much brighter, and often keep young looking longer than do those who wake up mtirning after morning, wondering what on earth they can do to pass the time, and whose chief aim and end is their own selfish pleasure. • • • The Current Topics Club met as us* ual Wednesday morning with Mrs. Thomas Mills, on College street. This dub is a distinctly literary one, and among its members are found some of Georgia’s'most intelligent and best ed ucated women. The excellent pro gramme on Wednesday morning was rendered with pleasing effect. The following subjects will be discussed at the meeting of next Wednesday: “Oysters and Oyster Culture’’—Mrs. John B. Mills. “The Nutritive Value and Digestibility of Food”—Mrs. R. F. Strickland. “Soups and Soup-making”—Mrs. Ed ward Smith. “Advantages and Disadvantages of Meat Diet”—Mrs. R. H. Taylor. * * * The Dorcas Society held a business meeting at the residence of Mrs. Ed ward Doe last Wednesday afternoon. The aociety will ba entertained by Miss Martha Terry tomorrow at 3:30 p. tn. « * a The tea at which Mies Fiorrie Jeane Richards entertained Wednesday eve ning, was a most delightful event. The pretty Taylor street home was artisti cally decorated with palms, ferns and smilax, with a brilliant touch of glow ing crimson carnations. In tbe dining room, the decorations were of beautiful yellow chrysanthemums and feathery learns. Tbe table was very lovely, with its juperb centerpiece of chrysan themums and handsome appointment of dainty china, cutglaes and silver— an elegant menu was served. Mias Richards, who is always bright and charming and exquisitely gowned, wore an unusually pretty toilette on this occasion, with a handsome skirt of black taffetas. Miss Richards wore a waist of taffetas in two shades of blue —a tucked vest of yellow satin and a bit of black velvet completed thia styl ish and becoming bodice Mrs. Rich ards assisted Miss Richards in dispen sing the hospitalities of the evening. Mrs. Richards is a brilliant and most attractive woman. On Wednesday evening she was daintily gowned in black not, over taffetas. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Renees Bawtvll, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Drewry, Prof, and Mrs. Eugene Ragland, Mrs. Richards, Miss Richards, Miso Oarrilu Richards and Mr Edward Richards. • * * There seems to be a great and joy ous “awakening” on music in America this year, and tike everything taken up by Americans, it io not done by halves. Music will be the fad. and it is to be hoped aome good will result therefrom Along with this great “re- vivaT there comes tbe usual aocompa nirnent of quarrels and “baekeapping” that seems positively necessary to the mnsician’t life, and those on tbe out side are having the usual attacks of naasea It takes a long time in the Mwsieal atmosphere to gw* owed to thio thing, but when one does got to lbs paint where they can separate thio un pleasant phase of the art from the good, and get out of music all there is! io It, some piessure io to be derived Bat it takes a long time, and many Jell by the Way side in an exhausted condition, and all interest dies forth with. Pity it is that such conditions exist, for it takes irons good aomic tbe fioancisl support of those who have not made the separation, and there are too few of those who have tn give it maintenance, io visswwl the high coat of the great artists If a musician would be content, after fame has been won, to place himself within reach of the public, we would have more music* but when the treamndous rums that are demanded by artists of note are taken into consideration, they are tbe highest priced and moot inaccessible people in the world. When we think that Paderewski received $2,000 for playing the piano a few minutes, and that Mardica has received SI,OOO for singing two or three songs, the inac cessibility is explsined. When once a man has been caught in a great loss in an attempt to give his home an oppor* tunity of bearing noted artists, and finds there is nothing in it but hard work and loss of money, it takes but a short time for him to retire to the peaceful and now irritating influences of private life. * * * Mrs. Howard Watt gave much pleas ure to a number of friends Thursday evening at a card party, at tbe lovely residence of Mrs. Tbos. Mills. There were present about 25 guests, who en joyed a spirited game in tbe flower decked parlors. Among these decora tions, tbe palms and fernswere noticed as especially handsome —one plant, a sword fern, filling with its luxuriant ponds an entire corner of tbe dining room. A substantial and elegant lunch was served at the close of tbe game. Mrs. Watt entertains with an ease and cordiality that are delightful. Among those present woro Miss Mattie Tutwiler, Miss Ethel Watt, Mr. Henry Smith, Dr. Carson, Mr. and Mrs. Flem ing Bailey, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Brooks, Mr. Doug las Boyd * ♦ ♦ The Hawthorne Club held an im portant and interesting meeting Tues day afternoon at the residence of tbe president Mrs. Walter Ellis. • • * Little Miss Suzanne Bailey enter** tained a number of friends Wednes day afternoon. Merry games were played on tbe beautiful lawn of tbe Bailey borne, and little Miss Bailey proved herself a most delightful hos tess. Dainty refreshments of fruits and bonbons were served. About 50 guests were present ♦ * * The reception given by Mre. Howard Watt Friday afternoon, compliments* ry to the Thirteen Club, was a most elegant affair. The Milla residence ie a beautiful one, and on the occasion of this entertainment is was a picture in white and green. The diningroom, slways a very beautiful apartment, even in everyday clothes, was charm ing Friday in its festive ta ble’s centerpiece was a bank of white roses and graceful ferns; and in the midst of this, rose the handsome silver candelabra with its green tapers .and shades. At one end of the room is a pretty recess, reached try a few steps— a sort of conservatory, always filled with plants and blossoms. Un this oc casion it was a bower, with a table or two set in the midst, and fair young girls, in beautiful gowns, making pic tures of themselves, going up and down the steps and in and out the greenery. Mrs. Watt wore a lovely gown of gray cloth. She is a queenly blonde and charming woman, and has innumerable friends in Griffin who al ways welcome her cordially io their midst. Elegant refreshment" were served, and the afternoon was one of genuine delight to all. Among those present were Miss Smith, Midr Mattie Smith, Mies Corinne Nall, Miso Mollie White, Mise Mattie Tntwiler, Mre Otie Crouch, Mrs. Watt. • * * The friends of Miso Susie Collier, who have been greatly distressed oyer her continued illness, will learn with much pleasure of her marked im provement during tbe past two days.
