THE AMERIOUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1891.
SOCIETY ETCHINGS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN. THE CIRCLE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.
Tli. Calico Hop—Th. America. Light In
fantry Falr-A Splendid Thanksgiving
Dinner—A Uetroipectlre end Prospective
View.
The week lias been a gala one In
Amerlcua society. Every evening has
beoa devoted to some pleasurable enter
tainment
The A. L. I fair has held high carni
val, and the military boys are blusblng
over the many compliments paid them
by tbelr best girls and many friends.
Thanksgiving day! What a world of
sentiment this word embodies. The day
was ushered in dark and rainy, but by
noon the glorious sunshine burst
through the clouds and the day was
typioal of life’s struggles, for though the
way may look dark for some at times,
there Is a silver lining for every cloud of
life, and a star of hope shines for all
who are “upward and true to the line.”
The balmy zephyrs of Thursday, laden
with the odor of sweet blossoms, re
minded us of the fair Southland, what
most of all we should give thanks for,
the most healthful and salubrious cli
mate on the globe; far removed from the
chilling blizzards of tbe north and west
and equally as remote from the burning
regions of the tropics.
For a century New England has never
failed religiously to observe the annual
Thanksgiving, and the custom has be
come as firmly fixed in the domestic
economy of the Puritans and their wldo-
ly scattered descendants, as the observ
ance of Christmas or the Fourth of July.
It Is only In late yean, however, that
tbe South has generally given more than
cursory notice to this occasion, for alnoe
1801 our people have felt that they had
little to be thankful for that called for
any special demonstration.
With returning peace and prosperity,
however, the observance of the h'ovem
ber Thanksgiving has made large pro
gress, and uow In this year of plentiful
crops, prosperous business, and political
success, we would be direllct In duty
not to give special heed to governmental
call for a more than ordinary attention
to the duties of the day of thanksgiving.
On no previous occasion has Ampricus
taken suoh interest as was manifested
last Thursday. The quietude of Sunday
reigned in business eiroles, tbe stores
and shops were all closed and everybody
spent the day in some place of holiday
enjoyment.
Many boys and grown up men spent
tbe day in hunting and few were the
robins, doves, larks or blackbirds that
were not rudely shaken from their
perches and called upon to contribute to
the interior composition of a pie.
Reynard bad also to spend tbe day
in stretching his legs at tbe head of a
procession of bounds and hones, en
couraged by the shouts of the riden and
the deep-mouthed yelpings of bis canine
cousins in pursuit
Tbe sweet little misses with their
Texas “cayuss pings" formed a caval
cade early In the day and with their joy
ous laughter Oiled the air, while they
rode tbe streets and cantered here and
there In unrestrained delight.
The housewives bad spent, houn In
the preparation of savory dishes, ropst
turkey and sweet-meats for the culinary
event of the season, and many a guest
gathered around the soolal board of
friend and kinamgg at the noon hour and
ate to the many happy. returns of the
Thanksgiving dinner of 18P1.
The ministers of the Methodist, Pres-
bsterian sad Baptist churches
union services at the Presbyterian
church In the forenoon, and many at
tended the servloe.
Altogether St was a day of quiet glad
ness to the many, and one of more
less hilarious enjoymeht to the few, es
pecially the uncurbed shoolboy, that
marks a red letter day In the annals of
Amerioos, and the annual recurrence of
the day will In future oommend from all
claesea sf our people as hearty obser
vance of its pleasant duties as marked
tbe Thanksgiving Thursday of Novem
ber, 1801.
Truly, we have as a community muoh
to be thankful for. Business has been
phenomenally prosperous with all, sick
ness and death have visited the fewest
number of doors In any twelve months
In our history, and peaoe, plenty and
prosperity are inscribed on our banners.
We have the most level-headed and
successful business men, the moat lova
ble of wives and mothers, the prettiest
girls and the steadiest and most promis
ing boys that blesa any city in the world;
and why should not Amerieus eat, drink
and be merry one day la the year? Evan
under leas favorable circumstances there
would still be room for rejoicing, for we
remember how old King George, our
revolutionary opponent, viewed the sit
uation at the dose of the war, when he
sent for the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the highest dignitary of his church, and
told him to appoint a day of general-
thanksgiving.
In view of the recent disasters to the
English crown, tbe Archbishop was as
tonished at tbe command, and asked?
“Does your majesty feel thankful at the
loss Of thirteen of your best colonies?”
“Oh, no,” said King George, "it isn't
that.”
“Well, is it then that you have lost
thousands of your best soldiers, several
of tbe best ships in your navy, and
and munitions without number?” “Ob,
no,” said the King, “I am not thankful
for than”
“Is ft, then, that you have spent mil
lions of money and Impoverished /our
treasury In wsging an unsuccessful war
against Franoe, and your American colo
nies?" “No,” said the King, “It is not
on that account.”
“What, then, may it please your
majesty, la the occasion for national
rejoicing?”
“Why,” said the King, “we want to
return thanks that ltwasn’t any worse.”
The Calico Hop at the rooms of* tbe
Amerious Club on Monday evening was
a unique social innovation, and ’twas
here “that woman adorned the dress,
and not the dress beautified the wo-
The oostumes of the ladles were
fashioned of calico—red, yellow, pink
and blue, and their lovely faces outri
valed their brilliant hue. Many new
style gowns were seen—some never In
troduced before, and the trimming was
done In a hundred different ways.
One specially nandsome, dark beauty
was much complimented on her pretty
cotton gown, and truly she looked as
royal as it she had been robed In satin.
The gentlemen were daintily rigged In
court dress suits—some with abbreviated
sashes, and others with sashes cut en
train. Each gentleman’s sash matched
In figure and color tbe gown of the lady
he escorted to the hop.
The german was led by Mr.Tee Cain,
and he was much admired for the grace
ful manner in whloh be swung his sash,
as well as for the elegant style of con
ducting the german. The occasion was
great, and the calico hop a happy suc
cess. The following ladies and gentle
men were present:
Mesdumes C. A. Frioker, Arch Eld-
ridge, A. C. Bivins, J. A. Stsrbuck.
Griffith and Jenny Edmundson.
Misses Nannie Lou Hawkins, Jennie
Hollis, Lens Hsjnes, Sarah Colib, Amo-
ret Gray, Francis Bell, Alice Wheatley
and Miss McWilliams of Rome.

Tbe meeting of “The Club,” which
was to have been held at tbe residence
of Mr. W. J. Mathis, on Friday night,
was postponed on account of tbe A. L. I.
fair. A delightful literary and musioal
programme had been arranged by the
efficient committee and an elegant time
was in store for the members. Notloe
will be given of the next meeting through
the columns of The Timks-Rkcordkb.

The many fair visitors in the city, and
those who have just left, are loud la
their praises of the hospitality of Amer
icas. They especially compliment and
appreciate the oourtesy of our young
men, whose gallantry baa ever given
them a State-wide reputation. It- Is
whispered that some one of these lovely
visitors may return and dwell among us.
This Is not surprising. Youth and
beauty are irresistible, and our young
men are genuine artlstf and never get
left on anything.

Satisfactory and accurate recipes for
bellethiphave never been given. All
bellee are not beauties any more than all
beauties are belles. One need not be
either amiable, lovely, wealthy, ^Itty or
wise to be a belle—and yet some belles
have all these attribute* and more be-
aides—end, mi ruble dicta, one may poa-
all these charming qualifications
and yet not bah belle. There are belles
of every description In Amerieus.
At Field’s minstrels end Jar beau wen
the attractions at the opera house the
past week. Good audience favored both
performances.
# - # e
Managers Cain and Brown our most
excellent opera houie managers refused
to give a date to the Female Minstrels,
and wired Duncan Clarke, their mana
ger, that no Indnoement could be offered
them ford date in Amotions.
Tbe following from tbe Albany press
shows their judgment was correct: “The
mayor and city connoll of Albany have
’vetoed” tbe play of the female min-
stnl troupe that was billed for to-night;
and the chief of police was instructed to
tear down the eenaaUonal and too brifly
clad show bills and atop the play.”

From Sire to Son—the versatlla and
always popular Milton Nobles and his
charming wife, Dollio Nobles will make
tbelr appearance in our city December
Sd, in bis successful play, “From Sire to
Son."
Tbe play is by far tbe best work yet
given to tbe public by that versatile
actor and successful dramatist. It pos
sesses in an eminent degree tbe essen
tial element of “human interest.” Tbe
men sad women are flesh sod blood,
there is nothing artificial about them.
Dollie Nobles plays with great sweet
ness and intelligence. Milton Nobles is
a fine character and is not commonplace.
The entertainment will be great.
We m&ke most any parent proud of his or her boy. Nothing can
do quite as much toward making a lad look neat, wholsome
and manly as one of our stylish little suits. No trouble
about fits for little and big; we-keep them all.

Our present line of attractions is certainly a credit to the establishment' and a satisfaction to our trade. A larger
variety or a finer showing of Choice New Novelties and reliable standard goods would be hard to find anywhere.
Careful buying enables us to offer that big, solid value for your money that never fails to please. When needing anything
