the dinner that my very good friend,
Col. Walter Andrew’s, was to have
given to the Secretary of State at
the Capital City Club to-morrow

All who know Col. Andrews’ hos
pitable disposition looked forward to
quite a treat. It was not only a feast
of reason, but a feast to tempt an
epicure, in prospect,—BUT—and here
1m where I was most interested, what
would the wine list have looked like?
I suppose there would have been no
help for it. Grape Juice w’ould have
usurped the cocktails at the begin
ning of the feast; grape juice w’ould
have been used instead of Burgundy
with the fish; grape juice would have
filled the champagne glasses; and
along with the coffee instead of char
treuse, grape Juice would have been

American dollars being poured out in

R IGHT now I want to register a
protest against what I hava
heard termed “The Society
Mumbler.” There is nothing that
makes me any more furious than t<*

“Er—r, I didn't Just get the name*

the party says: “No, It’s Mr. Bugle*

Mr. Buglehum. I am glad to meet
you. Mr. Buglehum.
That Is what you do sometimes.
But more often you get the name as
near, as you can, and let it go at
that; and then when it is time fo*
you to make your adieu when you
come to the gentleman whose name
you didn’t catch when he was intro-*
duced to you, you repeat it as closely
as you can in the manner in whicbl
it was spoken to you.

Sometime, somewhoi c, in my career
I've heard of other drinks,
Of whisky, wine,
And brandy fine.
And cocktails, too, methinks.
Hut grape juice is the bent of all—
Three drinks is right for me;
If l efiuld get
The third, you bet
Most happy would l be!

Cut out the other stuff!
Of grape juice dear,

I'll never get enough !
S AD news, dearly beloved, reaches
me from England. It Is noth

J. B. Dukes intend to make England
their permanent home, and that they
are negotiating with realty firms for
both a London house and a country’
estate.
I am told that the Dukes have been
having a great time in entertaining
and being entertained in England.
They have given many elaborate par
ties and have been the guests at somo s

Col. William Jennings Bryan had

of Georgia Tech, but I will confess
that that was not my greatest in

I am just wondering how a dinner
of this sort would have affected some
of the men who draw from extensive

remark I heard one of Atlanta’s most
prominent hostesses make sometime
ago when she had jus: entertained a
