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 is where I was most interested, w r hat would the wine list have looked like? I suppose there would have been no help for it. Grape juice would have usurped the cocktails at the begin ning of the feast; grape juice would have been used instead of Burgundy with the fish; grape juice w r ould have filled the champagne glasses; and along with the coffee instead of char treuse, grape Juice would have been used. I am just wondering how a dinner of this sort would have affected some of the men who draw from extensive draughts much of their wit and hu mor. All of which reminds me of a remark I heard one of Atlanta’s most prominent hostesses make sometime ago when she had just entertained a world renowned lecturer on temper ance in her home. “Yes, I believe in temperance* Ip not. The Dukes could have a great deal more pleasure for a great deal less money in Atlanta than in Lon don, and I dislike to see our good American dollars being poured out in the tight little isle. • • • Sometime, somewhere, in mu career, I’ve heard of other drinlcs, Of whisky, wine, And brandy fine. And cocktails, too, methinks. Hut yrape juice is the best of all— 't hree drinks is riylil for me; If l could get The third, you bet Most happy would I be! r'VIGHT now I want to register a 1-^ protest against what I havo heard termed "The Society Mumbler." There Is nothing that makes me any more furious than tQ have somebody Introduce me to some one else and slur the person's name, “Let me Introduce Mr. B—r—rm,’* they say; and you don’t get the nama at all. And then, If you want to knot* It, you aay: “Er—r, I didn't Jnst get the name. Is It Mr, Broosleton?” And maybe the party says: "No, It's Mr. Bugle- hum." And then you says "Oh, yes, 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 3s time foe you to make your adieu when yott 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 ln the manner ln which} It was spoken to you. "Well, I’ve got to be going nor,' you say to him. “Glad to have mot you. Good day, Mr. Br—r—rm." while, as you turn away, he follow^ — « she Continued on Page 4, Column 1, ; Photo by Lenney. borne in mind that the performance is for charity, and that covers a mul titude of social as well as commercial and are being pushed out, those who are not “reciprocal” in entertaining when they have been entertained, those who love to bask in the sun shine of social success—all will be there, a gathering of the sheep and goats, if I may use such an expres sion, with the goats carefully herded, so that they may not jar upon the sensibilities of the most sensitive ewes. I am looking forward to a great deal more fun hv observing the audi ence than I am by observing the play ers. It will be a great night, and I hope none of my readers will miss be ing present. Besides, it should bo C OME one. come all, and shake the moth balls out of your prettiest gowns, and no .matter what else you may have to do, go to the per formance at the Grand Theater on Tuesday night given by the Players’ Club. I feel reasonably sure that the play will be worth seeing. Oscar Wilde never wrote anything dull or stupid. “The Importance of Being Earnest” i9 old enough to be new to a great many people. Besides the players on the stage, you will get your money’s worth from the audience. Those who are in so ciety, those who are trying to get into society, those who are in society Chorus— Then laugh, lads, quaff, Cut out the other stuff: Of grape juice dear I muchly fear. Til never get enough! S AD news, dearly beloved, reaches me from England. It is noth- ing more nor less than that the 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 some \ rOV cannot imagine how dtsap- ' pointed I was when I heard that Col.
