Georgia chicken pie is something to rave over; candied yams and ha in with the right sauce are a luncheon fit for a prince; poets have sung the delights of Creole coffee; but 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 tor 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 ever?.' 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 trilie embarrassing. How would you like to tell Andrew Carnegie 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 under a damask cloth, carefully re moving a sharp-pointed palm from your left eye and murmuring an apolo gy for those tears. Then you realize that a vision in pink fol-de-rol over sea-green swish-swash is leaning over your shoulder and a willow plume is tickling your ear with excruciating de liciousness. “Your'ordei. please?’ says a voice It is a soft voice, a Southern voice, a voice that reminds you of rippling brooks 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. "JSr-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 though she 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 tor me. 1 know it w’ill 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 ami threatening to spill the gravy down nine hundred dollars worth of garden party gowns? Everybody who is really anybody is there, ot 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 tonight 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, ami they reach for a push button with thoughts of a creme de menthe. But the button is gone, and iced tea is the only cold item on the menu. Girls From All the Town. Mrs. John A. Perdue, regent of the chapter, is proprietor-in-chief of the *'afi de Debutante. Her three daugh ters ate among her aids, and there are girls from the Peachtrees, the south side, West End and Inman Park. There 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. But if they keep up the standard set for the grand opening, they will prove Atlanta winner of the Peaches' Prize for Personal Pulchri tude. and this tip is the only one you'll need SMOKE BOARD TO FRAME DEFENSE Chairman Declares Commis sion Is Necessary in Order to Enforce the Law. For the purpose of urging council not to abolish the gas and smoke commis sion, J. M. VanHarlingen, chairman of the smoke committee of the Chamber of Commerce, has called a meeting ot 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. "We could have the owners of those plants fined 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 W'ant to keep that commission in active work; it can guide prosecution and prevent persecution of manufacturers. "We have some statfstlcs which we art- going to arrange this afternoon so that we can show the council that the smoke committee of the chamber has accomplishod .something." CITY NOT TO SUPPLY WATER OUTSIDE TILL IT GETS A NEW PUMP Because the city's capacity to pump water is nearly taxed, the waler board yesterday afternoon considered unfa vorably the petition of property own ers on Paces Ferry road to connect a 3,000-foot pipe with the eftv main. The board has adopted a Yule that it will not allow’ any more connections to furnish water to customers out of the city until the council provides funds for a new 20,000-gallon capacity pump for the river station.

GRACE SUES FOR OIVDUCE: GRACE GLAD “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 Opie 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 qourts 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, ajry 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 noi 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 ! 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. I 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 were living at her home at Fortieth and Spruce streets, before they moved to his hom? at Newnan, he beat her severely, causing a fracture of hernos<. 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 thereaftei 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 ot 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 jur> trial. Counsel for Mrs. Grace is ready to file a bill of particu lais. stating specific instances ot al leged cruelty, if Grace a>ks 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 ot the state for at least one year before be ginning suit. Grace will not have been a resident for that period until Novem ber 1. Giace believes that he is going to get better.
