SOCIAL SALAD.
A ( asual Hetrosaeet of Events of the
Past Week.
While the usual round of enjoy¬
ment has gone on, there have been
no particularly interesting events in
Griffin society the past week, and
nothing has been announced for the
coming week.
*
An engagement has become more
generally known, though it is said to
have been announced to some on the
first of the month. It is between
one of our most prominent young
lawyers and o»e of Griffin’s most
popular and beautiful belles. We
get nothing for publishing names in
such cases, so that those oi our read
ers not already posted will have to
look nut for the diamond ring, which
is quite handsome.

The ladies all acquitted themselves
well at the Presbyterian concert.
The two gentlemen who received
most applause were Judge Hammond
and Judge Stevenson, the latter re
ceiving such an ovation at one point
as to overcome his usual rockribbed
composure.
Miss M?sie Hammond gave an el
egant little supper to a choice num
her of friends on Tuesday evening,
at which a charming feature was
one separate dish for each guest se¬
lected according to that guest’s
known special taste.
* * *
On Friday evening Mrs. W. IT.
Lyon entertained a few friends with
one of those inimitable little feasts
for which her bouse has been famous,
and which make ladies as well as
gentlemen regret the narrow limits
which nature has set to the capacity
of the most willing guest. Six hand
ed euchre and Georgia wine shcr
bert beguiled the rest of the evening,
topped off by a ride home in the
moonlight.

Speaking of wine sherbet and such
like light diet, a lady in Atlanta gives
the following account of what must
be a very thin drink: *‘I visited a
friend recently and she gave me a
glass of wine. It was of a pale am
her tint, and bad all the sparkle and
delicacy of flavor of champagne, and
when opened popped loudly. It
was effective, though mild as a stim
ulant, and I thought it very fine. I
asked what variety of grape it was
made from, and my friend told me
that it was made of rose leaves.
‘Take the freshly picked leaves^ she
said, ‘and put into a jar altern
ately a layer of leaves and sugar and
pour over a little cold water. In four
days strain, let stand a week and
then bottle for nse.‘ The wine is a
delightful beverage.*'

It is said that the bandana rage
created ty the nomination of Thar
man may extend to the dress pattern
for summer wear. Instead ef a “rose
bud garden of girls“ society would
then consist of a bed of tulips,
■* * *
If the ladies want to wear the Dem
ocratic symbols without wearing
them all over, they can put a red ker
chief around the neck and fasten it
with a jewelled imitation of Mrs.
Cleveland's favorite flower, the pan
sy, mounted in a brooch.

It is always the way that when
people have little affairs of their own
they will discuss other people's. Let
ue, then, discuss the marriage of the
daughter of the Governor, which
comes off on Tuesday, in Atlanta.
She is to be married to Mr. Barton
Smith.- Two thousands invitations
have been issued for the ceremony at
the church, and there will be a small
informal reception at the Governor’s
mansion later in the evening- They
will travel for a month or six weeks
and spend August at “Sutherland,”
Governor Gordon’s country seat near
Atlanta. Part of the bride’s elegant
trousseau, including the wedding
dress, was made in Washington.
The wedding gown is of ivory
white moire, and especially designed
for Miss Gordon’s style, who is tall
and has a gracefully rounded figure.
The waist is high necked, being
ctft away slighly in a V yhape at the
back and square in front; and filled
in with tulle thickly rnched to the
high collar baud. The edge was
outlined by closely set rows of fine
silver braid, the same trimming on
the vest, which ran to a sharp point
in front, dividing on either side soft
folds of the tulle, which bung loose
from the square pnff at the neck.
The elbow sleeves were of shirred
and tucked tulle. The skirt bad an
effective panel on the right side of
the silver braid, broidered by a scarf
of the moire, caught at the hem
wifh a rosete of tulle. The train fell
in deep organ plaits without trim
ming. Another costume was of black
silk net satin striped, made over
black silk and jauntily trimmed with
narrow moire ribbons.
A yachting dress of red and cream
striped flannel bad a kilted skirt with
a broad apron overskirt, and jacket,
tight in the back; bad loose fronts
to be belted in with a band of flan
nel. There was a separate shirt
front of white flannel to wear inside
broad sailor coliar and a natty scarf
tie of cream surah. An exceedingly
stylish wrap was of sago green cloth
with loose fronts closing diagonally
from the left shoulder and fitting tight
in the back. It was bordered with
Persian embroidery in dull gilt and
harmonizing silk shades. The sleev
es were something of a wrap shape,
squaro at the ends and slit half way
up. This dainty little garment, half
jacket .and half wrap, hag been great
ly^admire l. The stuff dresses in the
trosi-eau were equally stylish.
