Country Places of
Atlantans Bear
Names Most
' Original
The chatelaine of a beautiful Cali
fornia residence has christened her new
frome ‘The Garden of Allah.” In that
» U nny clime, where gorgeous flowers
grow, the name must be a subtle sug
gestion of contrast as well as an ex
ample of originality on the part of its
sponsor.
A Pittsburg society woman, Mrs. Ed
wsrd Vose by name, has happily ap
plied the title "Vosemary” to the new
residence destined to be a rendesvouz
for her fashionable friends. These two
examples show' the scope for ingenuity,
wit or sentiment in the naming- of a
residence. It has ' been the custom,
among Atlantans, to give a name to
their country places, following the cus
tom of ante-bellum days, when the
country estate was known far and near
by its real and proper name.
Many of the handsome places along
Peachtree road and diverging thorough,
fjres are well known by their names.

Picturesque Summer Places.
'Deerland'' '■= the well-known nanic
of Mr. and Mr I .1. Spaldfng' -urn
mer home, when many enjoyable so-
y
cial affairs of the season are given,
and "Gray Stone," the name of the
Peachtree road honite of Mr. and Mrs.
James Ft. Gray, cleverly suggests their
name, w'hile the picturesque wall of
gray stone surrounding the grounds
gives another good reason for the se
lection of this patronym for the beau
tiful home.
The summer places of Atlantans, far
and near bear names familiar to the
friends of their owners. "Togoola
t'atnn." at Tallulah, the home of Mr.

of Mrs. Lamar Rutherford Lipscomb,
and "Piney Point Lodge," in the Adi

tur, named for their eldest daughter,

"Overlook" is .he name of Mr. and

is In process of erection to furnish a
home for the Seelys during each sum
mer's stay at Asheville.
“Hideaway” is the quaint name given
recently to their new home by Mr. and
