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. Very Names Suggests Hospitality. Bide-a-Wee” is familiar to every one as the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Witham. Not only the social world enjoys the hospitality of this charming country place, for the warm-hearted hostess often entertains less fortunate guests at "Bide-a-Wee.” an instance of | tbi‘- hospitality being the opening of] the residence and the spacious ground- j ?c<-t<?rday to the 90 little folks of the .

The picturesque home | I of Mr. and Mrs, Robert Maddox, sur- , rounded by terraced flower gardens, has been supplanted by' a much more pretentious residence, to which the quaint old name of “Woodhaven” i« still applied, but which will be changed to more appropriate name for the beau tiful residence crowning the magnifi cent estate of the Maddox’s on the Paces Ferry road. ‘Woodbine” is the name of the new home of Colonel and Mrs. William Law son Peel, on Peachtree road. This name is suggestive of sentjment and t t t'iry. in that it is -the name of the • bc-bellum home of MXg. Peel's fa ll" r. the famous General Philip Cook. '•»’ Sumter county. The original 'Moodbine” stood for ail that was itos r*‘ ’hie in the old Southern aristocracy’s t’ :n of entertainment, and the new " oodbine,” as the home of one of the city s leading hostesses, will uphold at’-'! perpetuate this honorable fame Many Pretty Names.

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. tnd Mr Louis Magid, embodies a rec- ognition of the Indian play grounds on which it stands: "Jacquelln Lodge." in the Blue Ridge mountains, the home of Mrs. Lamar Rutherford Lipscomb, and "Piney Point Lodge," in the Adi rondaeks. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bueknel. during the hot sea son, are familiar types of names for summer places.
