mented Henry W. Grady.
Tbe new social club, the “Qul Vive,’’
was organized at tbe residence of Hr.
John Windsor last Friday night, and as
a more obarming hostess than Hlsa Hat
tie Windsor does not exist, it Is unnec
essary to state that the select and fash
ionable company there assembled en
joyed the evening Immensely.
For tbe past week society has been
only moderately gay.
The fact that there was no attraction
at the opera bouse made tbe evenings
entliely devoted to private social pleas
ures.
Tbe club
was called to order and proceeded to tbe
election of officers. Hr. John Sheffield
was chosen president; Hrs. Arch IL

per* and tbe stores and shops i
decked in holiday attire. The query
comes from the interested, what must
we get for Christmas presents for our
lady and gentleman friends?
The talent of judicious selection and
appropriate presentation of gifts Cer
tainly belongs to the fine arts. Tbe first
principle Involved, and nne ever to be
accepted as the proper guide Is tbe real
ization of these kindly sentiments:—
“Remember, it Is more blessed to give
tban to receive."
Among friends, presents ought to be
made of small value; or, If valuable,
their worth should be derived from the
style of tbe workmanship; or from some
accidental circumstance, rather than
from the inherent and solid richness.
Kspecially, never offer to a lady a gift
of great cost It is in the highest degree
indelicate, and bears the evidence of a
dcslro to place her uuder obligations,
and, at the same time, of buying her
good will.
Tbe gifts made by ladles to gentlemen
ought to be of tbe most reflned nature
possible. They should be dainty articles
not purchased but deriving a priceless
value as being the fashlonings of their
gentle skill.
A little picture from tbelr pencil, a
gem of word painting on tinted note
paper, which In after years still retains
the odor of “sweet violets,” is often far
more acceptable, and Is idolized as a
treasured souvenir, where, costly bric'a-
brac Is either lost, put out of sight or
forgotten. I<et tbe donor and receiver
ever consider the presents of no worth
except from the manner In which they
are bestowed, “Tbe wilt for tbe deed"
must ba the consideration.
The,fortunate possessor of this world's
goods when they are making their
rounds preparing Christmas surprises
for their associates equally favored,
should consider the poor and unfort unsts
Dickens’ characters ware never wanting
in gratitude, and such people in real life
are alike intensely grateful and appre
ciative.
One who has never known tbe sensa
tions of want misses a great deal of val
uable and pleasant emotion; without
this knowledge the capacity of making
great joy out of little blessings Is on
tirely denied him.
Then, too, one can neves feel for the
p eople about them as they should. Tin
very insight into the heart of human Ilfs
la something lost
It was this sympathy for plain tbinga
and bla unseltlsh charity for plain people
about him that made the late Henry
Grady the most universally beloved great
man wbo lived In tbit day and genera
tlon. 1
The pooreat little waifs about bla of
fice merited bla kindly and aympathetlo
interest, as did the lives and ambitions
of his friends and associates.
And on that Christmas eve, when this
great) Georgian, this sovereign qf the
people, grew tired and fell asleep, there
was an agonizing Jcry of anguish went
out from tbe poor unfortunates of At
lanta. J
The heart of this great cosmopolitan
city was crushed, as was all Geotgla.
He bad added to the turn of human
Joy, and thousands came on that bright
Cbristmaa day, to each of whom he had
done some loving act, and in return gave
the purest gema of tbelr atfeotloa, mak
ing the flower-colored bier of Henry
Grady sparkle wltb the eryetallzed cs-.
aenee of tore's devotion, human tears.
A memorial more precious to bis pos
terity than the jeweled crowns of every
united kingdom. Nature abhor* a vacu
um, aooner or later all earthly apace
mutt be tilled. So others must, and
will take up the good work so beautiful-

nie Lou Uawklns, secretary. It was de
cided that tbe club shall meet every
Tuesday night at tbe bomea of the dif
ferent lady members and the programme
for each successive evening is to be ar
ranged by the hostess of that particular
oocaslon.
The “Qul Vive” Is organized only for
■octal amusement and recreation and
does not aspire to anything elaborate,
therefore It Is against tbe rules of the
organization that a hostess shall aerve to
her guests any more tbau a light lunch,
such as sandwiches, coffee, ice cream,
etc., and this only at lier discretion.
Tbe clnb bids fair to become one of
the most charming features of the pres
ent season. The next meeting will be
held at the residence of Col. S. If. Hawk
ins on next Tuesday night.
The Americus Club will give a german
atVlielr rooms on Forsyth street next
Wednesday night complimentary to the
visiting young ladles. This promises to
be a very “swell” affair, as by that time
the city will be fllleil with charming
girls from all parts of tbe state, and
many of our own much-admired favor
ites will have returned from school for
the holidays
Tbe young ladies will give at the Club
rooms on Christmas morning a german
to the young men.
