TEN SOCIAL DON’TS
FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
I went to a dinner party last night.
The hostess was a very pretty woman
and the host an affable man. The food
was well chosen and well served. The
table was beautifully decorated with
flowers and the laides were decorated
with the smartest of frocks. But the
talk was extremely uninteresting and
so the affair dragged.
If ever I give a big dinner I should
like to send out with the invitations
a little list of ten “don’ts,” about the
things hat make for weariness and
boredom in any social gathering. Os
course, I can’t do this, but it would do

East, West, North, South—in cilies every
where throughout the various States—the Wirth
mor is now the reigning favorite among the inex
pensive Waists. And it is only because of this
nation wide disiiibutior which permits of manu
facture on a tremendous scale- and the economies
of the plan under which these Waists aie made
and sold—that the W irthmor is so decidedly su
perior to all other inexpensive Waists.

a great deal of good if I could.
The first would be: Don’t be late
and keep other people waiting, just
because you are too lazy to get ready
in time.
Don’t talk about your children even
if you are a fond parent. Other peo
ple’s children are not intensely inter
esting to you, and why should yours
be to them?
Don't, pray don’t (if you keep house
and have trouble in doing so) talk
about your servants and their sins of
omission and commission.
“Don’t, if you are a man, drag out
your would-be humorous stories to
such a length that your hearers feel
like rising from their seats and push
ing you along. Tell your yarn with
a snap and get quickly to the poinr.
It is twice as funny that way.
Don’t ask to be helped twice to any
thing. If a second helping is offered
you, take it if you want it and if you
will not necessarily delay the other
diners by doing so, but don’t ask for it.
Don’t interlard your conversation
with slang. A little well chosen slang
is often amusing. It is like a dash of
papper in the soup, but too much pep
per spoils any dish.
Don’t interrupt. Give the other per
son time to finish what he is trying
to say before you cram your views
down his throat.
Don’t forget that you should never
use a kniffe or spoon where a fork will
suffice. Jellies, if served with meat,
are .eaten with a fork. Peas require a
fork, and ice cream when.frozen hard,
is often served with a fork.
And there is another “don’t”, the
eleventh, which comes after the din
ner party: Don’t forget to call on
your hostess within two weeks after
the festivity.

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the

"The gods are just. And so they fade
up in talent what they denied in sight,
and Edward Baxter Perry will go down
in njusical history as a pianist who
educated people in the higher realms of

great musical compositions. The en

Cobb County
Tires of The
Hot Dogs,Now
ATLANTA ,Feb. 15. —Cobb county
has lost its taste for “hot dogs.” While
dealing in wieners (universally mis
spelled weiners by all Georgians who
sell them) is still profitable in Atlanta,
particularly on Decatur street, Mari
etta seems to have grown tired of the
delicacy, and Abraham Lehman, lead
ing Wienerwurst vendor of Marietta,
has filed a voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy.
He does not go into the details but
pierely confesses that the hot dog bus
iness is no longer profitable, and that
he didn’t have judgment enough to
get out of it in time.
Whether the unpopularity of every
thing German and Austrian has any
thing to do with the decline of the
wiener business is an Interesting spec
ulation.

A Big Reason Has Delayed The
Appearance of “Theßirth of a
Nation”in an Americus House
Manager Will Dudley ,of the Opera
House, states that it is likely that ho
will be able to bring that famous mov
ing picture production “The Birth of
a Nation,” to Americus. If he suc
ceeds, the people who have not been
afforded the opportunity of witnessing
the picture in neighboring cities will
be glad of the pleasure of seeing it
Mien the picture plays on local
screens.
There is curious history back of the
delay—and the possibility that “The
Birth of a Nation” will not come to
Americus. It dates back to other
history of the Americus Opera House,
and especially when the famous work
of Thomas Dixon, “The Sins of the
Faher,” was billed for this place.
Much discussion arose a that time
oxer the coming of that famous play,
which even grew into law suits, which
have been laid aside.
But Thomas Dixon was the author of
“The Sins of the Father” —and he is
■.Le author of “The Clansman,” from
which book the main story in the fam
ous film spectacle is taken. Mr. Dixon
is interested in the production of “The
Birth of a Nation,” and it is under
stood that he is drawing magnificent
-oyalties on the proceeds from the
access which this picture has had.
Mr. Dixon bears no over amount o f
ove for Americus. And it is this

main obstacle which has confronted
he people who have attempted to bring
this picture to Americus.
“The Birth of a Nation,” is undoubt
edly the greatest moving picture which
has yet been produced. It surpasses
ail other productions yet filmed. It has
an. appealing touch, carrying with it
the heart throbs which have marked
the rise of the South from the days
following he struggle in he ’6o’s. “The
Firth of a Nation” drives home a point
ed truth, and it cannot be denied that
D. W. Griffith struck a keynote in
the heart of every Southerner when lie
brought this wonderful exhibition into
play.
“The Birth of a Nation” had a suc
cessful run in New York and other
prominent Northern theatres. It is
Laving an equally successful stay in
its tour of the South. Hundreds of
1 eople flocked to Albany and Macon
from this section of the state when the
film was shown there. These same
crowds conld have been brought to
Atn?ricus-—and will be brought here,
and although it is possible not in such
I large proportions.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Dixon has
recovered from his animosity towards
Americus, and that the people of this
city and section will be allowed the op
portunity of viewing “The Birth of a
Nation” in this city.
