Smiles and Society Gossip With Your
Tea at Old Capital City Club.
Georgia chicken pie is something to
rave over; candied yams and ham with
the right sauce are a luncheon fit for a
prince; poets have sung the delights of
Creole coffee; when these are serv
ed by Atlanta debutantes in pannier
gowns and picture hats not even Swin
burne, Tom Moore and George M. Co
han collaborating adequately could de
scribe the joy of dining.
But you can experience it for your
self if you'll drop in at the battered
old building which once housed the
Capital City club and find an empty
chair. The Habersham chapter, Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, is
conducting daily luncheons there, and
the array of waitresses who have vol
unteered for service would make the
best beauty chorus which ever left
Broadway look like the annual picnic of
the old ladies' home. Believe one who
has been there, it is peaches for every
course.
To one whose retiring disposition has
led him consistently to seek Greek cases
and free lunch counters rather than
brave the glances of a restaurant wait
ress. this ordering luncheon from a so
ciety bud is a trifle embarrassing. How <
would you like to tell Andrew Carnegie t
to fry an egg on the sunny side and '
rush those pancakes? Well!
Soft Voice Lulls You.
You hang your hat on the dining
room rack —really, you ought to have
canned that dingy straw and plunged '
on a new necktie—and tuck your feet 1
under a damask cloth, carefully re- 1
moving a sharp-pointed palm from I
your left eye and murmuring an apolo- i
gy for those tears. Then you realize i
that a vision In pink fol-de-rol over i
sea-green swish-swash is leaning over '
your shoulder and a willow plume is 1
tickling your ear with excruciating de
liciousness. I
"Your order, please?" says a voice. It I
is a soft voice, a Southern voice, a i
.voice that reminds you of rippling i
bH»oks and silver bells and home and
mother and the first sweetheart you
ever had when you were drawing four
fifty a week and digging up two-fifty
for buggy rides. It gives you a deli
cious little thrill, like picking up that
fourth ace after the eleventh raise.
“Er-er, what have you got?" you ask,
reckless of rhetoric, but determined to
hear more of that voice And the vi
sion answers. sweetly, patiently, as
1 though site didn’t mind sparing the
time. Not like those girls uptown who
can pack a whole bill of fare into one
word of sixty-seven syllables without
coming up for breath.
“Er-er, bring me anything you like,”
you say. Then you plunge fatuously
into an original remark.
"You choose a luncheon for me. I
know It will be just right."
Who Could Eat, Though?
And of course it is, but you don't
really know whether you're eating an
gels food or deviled ham. How can you
think of coarse, material things with
two dozen other visions circling about
the room and threatening to spill the
gravy down nine hundred dollars worth
of garden party gowns?
Everybody who is really anybody is
there, of course. You hear a guest
swapping gossip of the inner circles
with a waitress, and another waitress
serving a young man with creamed po
tatoes and rib roast and threatening
not to give him a single dance tonigiit
if he doesn t order ice cream and cake
noir, and everything on the card. All
the old gentlemen are lunching there,
of course. They smile at the debu
tantes and pay them sugary compli
ments, and say they wish they (mean
ing themselves) were young again.
Then the familiar old room brings mem
ories of club days, and they reach for I
a push button with thoughts of a creme l
de menthe. But the button is gone, and
iced tea is the only cold item on the <
menu. i
Girls From All the Town.
Mrs. John A. Perdue, regent of the I
chapter, is proprietor-in-chief of the
Case de Debutante. Her three daugh-p
ters are among her aids, ami there are 1
girls from the Peachtrees, the south ‘
side, West End and Inman Park. There 1
are girls from Druid Hills and Mariet
ta. from Decatur and Peachtree road. ,
There are girls in pink and girls in
blue, in shimmery gowns and filmy
waists. And they are all kept busy as
bees, running from table to kitchen and
back again, and even if they can't bal
ance eleven orders on one arm, they
can make extra trips.
The Daughters will serve luncheon at
the old club every day for several
weeks, but you can be among those
present at every meal without fear of
monotony. They promise to change the
corps of waitresses every day, which
offers novelty. Hut if they keep up the
standard set for the grand opening, they
will prove Atlanta winner of the

SfflKE BOARD TO
FRAMEDEFENSE
Chairman Declares Commis
sion Is Necessary in Order to
Enforce the Law.
For the put pose of urging council not
to abolish the gas and smoke commis
sion, J. M. VanHarlingen, chairman of
tlie smoke committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, has called a meeting of
his committee for 4 o'clock this after
noon.
"We want the smoke evil abated in
Atlanta," said Mr. VanHarlingen today,
"but we realize that we have to go slow
in the matter; we can't afford to an
tagonize the powerful manufacturers
here, for if we do we’ll soon find that
the smoke ordinance will be abolished.
"See those stacks," said he, pointing
from his office in the Candler building
to several stacks that were belching
forth volumes of unconsumed carbon.
"VAe could have the owners of those
plants tlned for that today, but we
realize that we've got to educate those
men up to our standards before we try
to make them observe the law.
By means of the smoke commission
of council that can be done and we
want to keep that commission in active
work; it can guide prosecution and
prevent persecution of manufacturers.
"We have some statistics which we
ate going to arrange this afternoon so
that we can show the council that the
smoke committee of the chamber has
accomplished something."

“I Hope She Gets Her Freedom
and Drops My Name,”
Says Wounded Man.
WIFE CHARGES CRUELTY:
SAYS HE BROKE HER NOSE
Subpena To Be Served on
Husband by Mail—He Hopes
to Get Well. >
Mrs. Daisy Ople Grace, the woman
who occupied the limelight in Atlanta
for six months and who was acquitted
of attempting to kill her husband, filed
suit for divorce today In Philadelphia,
alleging cruel and barbarous treatment’.
She alleges that her husband beat her.'
Mrs. Grace anticipated her husband's
previously announced intention of fil
ing a suit for divorce in the Georgia
courts as soon as he had lived in Geor
gia for a year. Eugene Grace, in his
bed at a local sanitarium today, de
clared that he would not interfere with
his wife’s suit, and said it would re
lieve him of the trouble.
Grace was lying in a large, airy room
at the Piedmont sanitarium, where for
the past two weeks he has been taking
electric massage treatment in the hope
that life may be restored to his para
lyzed limbs.
"I'll certainly not put anything in the
• way of that woman getting a di
vorce. Her suit for one will save me
the trouble and worry of doing so. In
case she* hadn’t filed suit I was
going to do it in November when I have
lived here continuously for a year and
am legally able to do so.
"I hope she has the decency to peti
tion that one of her former names be
■ restored to her,” he added. "I gave
her a good name and she didn’t keep it
that way; now I hope she’ll not use it
any longer.”
Declares Grace
Broke Her Nose.
In her libel Mrs. Grace, who is living
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Martha
Ulrich, at 900 South Sixtieth street.
Philadelphia, gives no particulars re
garding the alleged cruel treatment,
but it Is said that while she and Grace
, were living at her home at Fortieth
and Spruce streets, before they moved
to his home at Newnan, he beat her
severely, causing a fracture of her nose.
The words of the libel on the subject
merely follow the statute in declaring
that "said respondent offered such in
dignities to the person of the libellant
as to render her condition intolerable
and life burdensome, thereby compell
ing her to withdraw from his home and
family and that the respondent, by
cruel and barbarous treatment, en
dangered her life."
It is set forth that the couple were
married at New Orleans on May 10,
1911, and lived thereafter at various'
places, including their home in Georgia,
where-, the shooting took place. As
Grace is still an Invalid, it will be
necessary to serve the subpena.on him
by registered mail. The return day of
the writ which was allowed by Judge
Audenried is the first Monday in Oc
tober.
Testimony in the divorce proceedings
will be taken by a master to be ap
pointed by the courts, unless Grace de
mands a jury trial. Counsel for Mrs.
Grace is ready to file a bill of particu
lars, stating specific instances ot al
leged cruelty, if Grace asks for it.
It is declared that the* suit was
brought to anticipate a similar action
which Grace contemplated. Under the
laws of Georgia the libellant in a di
vorce case must be a resident of the
' state for at least one year before be
ginning suit. Grace will not have been
i a resident for that period until Novem-
I ber 1.
Grace believes that he is going to get
. better. A recent X-ray picture shows
i that the bullet lies in the dorsal verte
brae, where, after the final operation,
; Dr. Baxter S. Moore told him that it
< was. His present paralyzed condition.
f; Giace attributes to the presence of a
i clot of blood pressing agains>t his
> spinal cord and he believes that his
< system will gradully absorb the clot
f and allow him to gain some control
i over the lower part of his body.
As the days drift by his lower limbs
