PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.

“HAD YOU LOVED BUT ME.”
'Tia not that thou bast loved before,
So irksome with regret;
I’d have thee not the Gone ignore
Or e’en its tithe forget.
I’m o’er-assured thy loye of yore
Makes this more firmly set—
Think me not envious ot the past;
If ever woman loved, thou bast—
Thou lovest now—and yet
Would thou hadst loved me, first and lustl
A jewel lost is doubly dear,
Should it be found again ;
Rekindled flame shows trebly clear
Where pallid ash has lain ;
One who has felt the brambles tear
Is carefuller of pain ;
Thou couldst not love as now thou dost
Hadst thou not loved, and loving, lost—
Though riper now, I fain
Had plucked thy love e’er came the frost.
A scar may token val’rous deed
By some brave battler wrought;
An empty sleeve may fetch to heed
Some deadly combat fought;
A titled name may be the meed
That was of daring bought;
But I would liefer have the whole,
Unscarred, unmaimed in make or soul,
And world-renowned for naught,
Than yield to Honor Honor’s toll.
O Love, I love thee for the ache
Thy loss has been to thee!
I love thee for thy sorrow’s sake,
For thy long misery 1
• I know there follows in the wake
Os thy hot agony
A fire of deeper, purer stress,
Yet I could wish thou lov’dst me less ;
For hadst thou loved but me
One half that love were happiness.

One swallow does not make a spring,
but the indications are that this spring
there will be many swallows not
only real ones, but those on real lace,
which madatne will have appliqued on
her new spring gown. There are also
dainty butterflies in real lace, and
bow knota of all sizes. These come in
large size to be appliqued to the skirt,
with smaller ones to match, for the
waist. These are also fashioned in
jet and cut steel, and make very hand
some ornaments for the soft, clinging
crepes, which are to be so much in
vogue this season. Pale gray will be
very fashionable, end as trimmings
for this there are bow knots in silver,
outlined in the palest mauve velvet.
The heavy cream applique laces look
very spring-like, and come in many
beautiful designs. But the swellest of
all are the net suits, in black and
white. The skirt is in one piece, en-
• tirely covered with an embroidery of
bow knots, with rows and rows of
gathered ribbon around the bottoms,
and in a straight line from the waist
almost to the bottom of the skirt, and
then around to the back. There is
nothing to be done to these skirts ex
cept sew them up in the back and
drape them over silk slips. Net in the
same pattern comes for the waist and
sleeves, A very economical way of
fashioning these suits would be to
have two linings. For the black net
a black silk lining and a colored one,
which would have the effect of two
very different gowns,

Mrs. Walter Ellis pleasantly enter
tained the Hawthorne Club Tuesday
morning. A very charming feature
of the meeting, and one which brought

side won. The following programme
will be given next Tuesday :
Quotations —“Liberty.”

mented the members of lheSociai Cir

pliment some time since and decided
only recently to give the occasion the

this delightful affair The balls and
drawingrooms were radiant with scar
let gneraniums and bright nasturtiums

graceful vines formed the beautiful
background. In the diningroom the
decorations were entirely in green and
white and as nearly as passible, this
same pretty color scheme was carried
out in the elegant luncheon served on
small tables. The central table was
truly beautiful. It was covered with
delicate green satin over which was
spread a rich honiton lace cover—
around the center piece, which was a
cut-glass vase filled with Eastu lilies,
were arranged five waxen tapers in
siver candelabra capped with
dainty shades of white and green. Mrs.
Redding is a bright and cultured
woman whose prerence is felt and ad
mired in any assembly, but she is
most charming in her own home,
where she is a tastful and graceful
hostess. On Wednesday afternoon she
wore a becoming gown of black taf
fetas. Mr?. Redding was assisted in
extending the hospitalities by Airs.
Seneca Sawtell and Mrs. Traylor.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
h<dlow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eves, the sallow,
parsnip-adored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; ifafter passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must lie at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause,
belay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may ru»
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Go., Binghamton, N. ¥.. f.r

both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
