ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1913.
HAILS CALL
E CHOES of the foyety at the fa-
moua old Greenbrier White con
tinues to reach my ears, and
the latest and most Interesting thing
I’ve heard concerning the brilliant
season there Is that “a prominent
society leader” of Atlanta gave his
danghtev and the girls from Georgia
an entertainment last week, to the
tone of $1,000 an hour.
There Is no use In concealing the
name of this prominent society leader
—for all of you will know, of course,
that It was John W. Grant, a genial
and generous host at all times.
The coat of the affair aroused won
der even In the wealthy company as-
eembled at the White. Mr. and Mrs.
Grant have been among the most ac
tive and popular people there this
season and their lovely daughter,
Margaret, has been the center of at
tention, she and Alice Wilkes Pres
ton, daughter of th» Mayor of Bal
timore being known as "the White's
debutantes.”
This affair which aroused so much
admiration was given by the Grants
for the Georgia girlie, a bevy of beau
ties such as I have never seen ex
celled by the belles of the Greenbrier
White. Among them, beside Miss
Grant, are Katherine Fills and Har
riet Calhoun of Atlanta, Margaret
Wright of Augusta, Martina Burke of
Macon and Nell and Martha Sue
Phtnlzy of Athens.
The costly hours which went by on
golden wings (surely I will bs par
doned the metaphor In view of the
cost) began with a lawn fete and fin
ished with a tango contest In the ball
room, after a cotillion, favors for
which were platinum jewels set In
moonstones, and Paris novelties.
Hundreds of American Beauty roses
and banked palms completely hid the
walls of the ballroom.
It Is said that Baltimore and At
lanta are running a close contest as
to which shall lead the social life In
brilliancy and pleasure at the White
this season, which Is the gayest In
years. They tell me that even the
people who have been going to the
White regularly were surprised at the
seasonls magnificence, and new
comers have marveled at the gor
geousness of society's career In this
historic old Southern resort.
The Tom Paines have been very
popular leaders at the White for sev
eral years. In fact, they say the sea
son doe® not formally open there un
til Tom Paine arrives, a like honor
being accorded Mrs. Samuel Inman at
Poland Springs, Maine, and Miss
Jennie Mobley at Tate Spring, so pop
ular are these Atlantans at their fa
vored resorts.
I hear that Mr. and Mrs. Paine are
coming home soon, though I see no
signs of abatement of social activity
at the White for several weeks yet.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Maddox shared
In the pleasures of life there for a
short time recently, on their way t«
Kineo, Maine, where they will spend
September.
Mrs. Leigh C. Palmer, of Washing
ton, D. C„ a former Atlanta belle, has
been a conspicuous hostess at the
White this summer. Mrs. H. M.
Flager, a Southern woman well
known to Atlantans, has just arrived
there, though she will, of course, take
no part In social life this season be
cause of her mourning.
I understand that the Grants will
remain In Virginia until the early fall.
Mr. and Mrs. Doughty Manley re
turned last week. Mrs. A. W. Cal
houn and Miss Harriet are popular in
social life of the White just now.

T HAT romanra not dead is
proven by a number of the wed
dings of prominent young cou
ples this season. In fact, I think it
noteworthy that so many of the
young woAien and men, who belong
to that fortunate set which is gen
erally supposed to .nake marriages
de convenance Instead of love
matches, have demonstrated that they
are Cupid’s followers in one way or
another.
Of course, the brides and their fu
ture husbands are often discussed
Just now, for never was a truer re
mark made than “all the world loves
a lover.”
Of the romance which will result
soon in the wedding of Ellen Meek, a
Nashville beauty, and Inman Gray
one of Atlanta’s well-known young
men, I have heard a pretty tale. They
say that a summer shower was the
cause of it all. Inman Gray, long
noted among the younger men for his
lack of interest in girls and their so-
ciety, was deemed an arch eneirv
Cupid. It was thought thnt he w-i.s
destined to be an “old bachelor, but| (
they reckoned without the summer
shower—you know Nature works in a
mysterious way heT wonders to per
form!
One afternoon Miss Meek and Joe
Brown Connally (who is quite & dif
ferent kind of bachelor—one of those
who thinks so much of all of them
he can not choose one) chanced to
be passing “Greystone” Just as a
heavy downpour of rain came on.
They sought refuge in the home of
young Gray, who was, of course, in
troduced to Miss Meek—and instant
ly fell a victim to Cupid, who had
only been hiddng his time, you see.

S AVANNAH folks say they knew
that pretty Sophie Meldrim had
been engaged to “Ted” Coy,
with whom she eloped last week, for
some time, and I’ve heard, since the
marriage, that a number of Atlanta
young women who have been at Tox-
away this summer with the bride,
were aware of the seriousness of the
romance between this noted Georgia
beauty and the famous Yale football
star.
But I must confess that I (and I
can safely say lots of other people
In Atlanta) was confidently looking
forward to the announcement of the
young woman’s engagement to an
other man entirely. In fact, the ru
mors that have attached names of
wealthy and prominent men with that
of Sophie Meldrim have been be
wildering in their number.
Since her debut, a few years ago,
this charming woman has been one
of the most widely known and ad
mired of all the Georgia belles and
beauties. She holds the reputation in
this day of having had more offers of
marriage than any other young wom
an of the State; an honor held sev
eral years back, strange to say, by
another Savannah girl, who became
the bride of Clark Howell, of At
lanta, after her few years of bril
liant belledom as Miss Comer.
The heroine of last week’s roman
tic marriage was much admired in
Washington last season, where she
spent some time under the chaperon-
age of Mrs. John Hayes Hammond.
In New York also the former Miss
Meldrim was much admired, and
many people thought for a while that
the rumor of her engagement to a
noted and wealthy publisher of that
city was correct. Then we were sure
that she was coming to Atlanta as
the bride of one of our wealthiest
young bachelors—hut, alas, our hopes
were doomed to disappointment.
And who shall say how many more
and perhaps fonder hopes were blast
ed when the news went around last
week that “Ted” Coy had won the
prettiest girl In Georgia for his brijje.
For ten days preceeding her mar
riage, Mrs. Coy had been a visitor in
Western North Carolina, and was in
Asheville as a guest at the house
party of Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton
King, of Augusta, who have a sum
mer home in that place. The day be
fore the marriage, I believe, Sophie
and her two younger sisters, Jane and
Caroline, went back to Toxaway, and
young Coy put in an appearance.
The two motored over to Asheville—
presumably to a party.
They went instead to Trinity
Church, and the knot was tied, thus
consummating a romance begun, I
understand, three years ago when
young Coy was on a tour as banjoist
with the Yale Glee Club.
Well, I am sure the young couple
have the best wishes of all who know
them. Th^y are both ideally good to
look at, both young and happy, and,
I am told, both deeply in love. What
better could one desire for anybody?

HAVE a David Harum story for
you. The modern David Harum
—at least the one who figures
in my story—is a noted Virginian
who rears blooded horses, and whose
stock farm is one of the wonders
of the State. A short time ago he
sold a horse to an Atlanta man, prom
inent in society and identified with
the contingent which rides and loves
horseflesh.
Indeed, I may say that he is ac
counted—or accounts himself, ac
cording to your preference—the real
authority of fine horses among At
lanta’s sporting set. Well, he bought
a horse from this wily Virginian, and
brought his purchase back to Atlan
ta with loud praises and great claims
as to the many fine qualities of his
new purchase.
A hunter of the best type he said
his horse was, and a jumper of ex
traordinary ability. He loaned the
horse to two cr fr.-ee of *hr y on
vmrn : ■ «■ o t r, !. • :n out. I hey
io .. ily cntMUtjast.c over
llie hoi stt tome way. and the man
lecided that he wouldn't lend his line
hunter and Jumper again to unappre
ciative young women.
Last week one of the ladies who
had tried the horse and, in her Judg
ment, found him wanting, chanced
to meet a Virginia friend at Tox
away, who is interested in horses.
She told him of the new horse which
was to put the noses of all the fine
horses iu Atlanta out of Joint, and
the man laughed hilariously. “Why,
hasn’t he found out that horse yet?”
he finally managed to ejaculate.
(Why is it the sorrows of others is
so often funny to us?) And then
he told her that everybody in Vir
ginia was laughing over the way that
old horse was sold for $600 to the
Atlantan.
“That fellow In Virginia used him
as a leader to train young colts,” said
the man. “And he never in the world
will be anything better than an in
structor for the young!”
Now everybody in Atlanta is won
dering when the owner of the horse
is going to wake up to the situation.

S OMETHING of sentiment and
more of sadness attaches to a
wedding gift which graced the
table glittering with cut glass and
silver at the Hull-Weltner wedding
last Thursday evening. I saw tears
suspiciously brightening the eyes of
several tender-hearted women when
they bent over to read the names
quite a long list, too, and written
tremuloifsly at times—of a number of
convicts who had sent a beautiful
cut glass bowl to the bridegroom and
his charming bride “with their best
wishes.”
You know, most of you, that Philip
Weltner is very much interested in
bettering the condition of the sons of
misfortune who inhabit the awful
convict camps over the State. Some
time ago, in order to learn how they
really live, he donned convict garo
and spent a week living with them
and living as they did exactly, with
no favors shown.
It was for his kindness and inter
est that this gift of cut glass was
procured in some way by his “fel
low-convicts,” and sent with their
best wishes. All of them had writ
ten their names and, with queer sen
timent, had attached the sentence
they were to pay after their signa
tures. The fact that some of these
bore the grim words “for life” did
not detract from the impressiveness
of the “card” which came with the
wedding present.

M
M
T, that gay college set is
going some! I hear that the
dance last week at which the
Tech boys entertained their friends
was marked by several appeals to the
faculty from more conservative mem
bers of the company. Two boys
brought out girls who were unknown
to the company, and that in Itself
ws against Lhe rules of the game.
Pretty soon the four of them be
gan on variationsVof the new dances,
and after a while* they succeeded in
showing the young people presen
just why these dances have fallen
into disrepute. The two couples soon
had the floor to themseHes, but they
didn’t keep It long, for an appeal to
members of the faculty resulted In
their expulsion from the hall, and Joy
reigned supreme again—for a time.
The second untoward incident
the evening resulted from a couple's
too ardent adoption of a favored pas
time—the electric coupe courtship,
one might call It. The electric was
drawn up near a light, and the neigh
bor-s watched'the free show with in
terest—until they began to be shocked
at the progress of the affair. Then
they sent word to the now perturb
faculty members that there was ur
gent need of interference In this par
tlcular courtship.
Quite a bit of excitement was gen
erated by the affair, it seems, es
pecially when the owner of the coupe
found out that suspicion had fastened
on her, until the identity of the fair
and loving usurper was fixed—and
then two more guests of the dance
departed suddenly^ ^
OBILE girls have Inaugurated
a unique anniversary, which
I venture to assert, will not
become universally popular. It is the
celebration of their twenty-third
birthday with special observances to
which they invite their friends—
those who can not keep a secret.
And fearlessly and frankly they
avow their age, and upon the lunch
eon table they place a cake with 23
small candles, so that he who runs
may read. The reason of this ob
servance I do not know.
When I told an Atlanta girl about
the "23" birthday parties, she said
"Weil, I am not going to get married
till I am 23, and I don't Intend to
be 23 till I get married!” So I guess
that in some such idea lies the reason
for the new anniversary parties
adopted by Mobile debutantes of sev-
eral seasons ago.
However. I do not believe the move
ment will become a fad in Mobile or
elsewhere. Women must keep one
secret in life. All of which reminds
me of a little story I heard the other
day concerning a popular unmarried
woman who is not so young’ in years,
hut who belongs to the independent
bachelor girl contingent which counts
its age by deeds, not years. That
she still retains the womanly falling
of concealing the number of these
years, however, is evinced by the in
cident.
A married woman who Is altogether
charming and lovely, hut whose son,
a manly youth now sporting his first
mustache, avows her age anyway, re
marked that the bachelor maid had
been a bridesmaid at her wedding.
Later a mutual friend in conversa
tion with the unmarried woman hap
pened to remark “Oh, I hear you
and A— have been friends for many
years; she tells me you were an at-
tor^nt a* ’ '• eddlng.”

SAN FRANCTSICO, Sept. %.—Thb
San Francisco Call, the oldest of the
San Francisco dally papers, trans
ferred its activities from the morning
to the evening field Monday. The Call
w r as founded In 1850 as a morning
paper and was for many years the
leading morning paper of San Fran
cisco. Of late year*, however the
competition of The Examiner and
Chronicle has been too strong for It,
and The Call saw Its better oppor
tunity in the less bitterly disputed
evening field.
The Call’s first appearance in the
evening field showed It to be a greatly
improved newspaper.
It made the following announce
ment, which seems to he justified:
The San Francisco Call is the
oldest paper in San Francisco and
will be the greatest evening pa
per.
Every arrangement has been
made to give the people of San
Francisco the highest grade of
newspaper product for the small
est price.
Lease Special Wires.
The best news associations
have been secured, the best
American and European news
paper connections have been
made, and special wires have
been leased, the best special fea-
tues and syndicate services have
been obtained, the best newspaper
managers, editors and writers
have been engaged from all parts
of the country; the best and big
gest newspaper machinery manu
factured has been ordered and
will be Installed in the newest
and most commodious quarters In
San Francisco.
Everything has been done that
we, the publishers, can think of
to make The San Francisco Call
the best newspaper In America,
but we will welcome suggestions
from our readers.
The San Francisco Call appears
to-day. Monday, as San Fran
cisco’s leading evening paper.
Ask Aid of Readers.
Tell us how It can he made bet
ter.
Help us to give San Francisco
the best paper printed anywhere.
We have the determination and
the resources to make The San
Francisco Call the leading even
ing newspaper of the nation.
If thcro Is anything we haven’t
ihought of, think of it for us and
we will do it for you.
F. W. KELLOGG,
President and Publisher.
JOHN D. SPRECKELS,
Vice President and Treasurer.
The managers of The Call claim
that the wisdom of the transfer to the
evening field is proved by the results
of the first day of issue. The circula
tion of The Call has been doubled and
the paper in its new form has met
with the most universal commenda
tion.

off because of lack of material. Car

bricklayers asked for a full hour's
pay, 87 1-2 cents.
"Very well,” said the contractors,
“they shall have their 87 1-2 cents an
hour or fraction thereof.” Soon the
bricklayers were called to the cash
ier's window. The first man to sien
his pay check received a shock. He
had counted out to him eight dimes,
a flve-cent piece, two pennies, and the
half of a penny that had been chopped

was referred to the United States Dis

“Farming has been looked upon as

the Mayor. “That housework and

an idea altogether too prevalent.
"Farmers should not be ridiculed

Young American Undergoes Third Degree Pre
paratory to Being Put on Trial
in November.
Special Cable to The American.
COMO, ITALY, Sept. 6.—Some
thing of the cheerful indifference of
Porter Charlton seems gone. The
young American, awaiting trial on
the charge that he killed his beauti
ful wife shortly after their marriage
three years ago, has grown nervous
under the strain of the exacting third
degree of the Italian police.
More than once the delicate-seem
ing youth has been on the verge of
collapse when the police remorseless
ly plied him with questions, and, In
the sinister way that belongs to no
one else but Italian police, sought
to break his nerve.
But only when his ( father entered
his cell, a day or two ago, did any
thing like an actual break of nerve
occur. Then the young man threw
himself on his father's breast and
cried like a baby. The father. Judge
Paul Charlton, was shaken also by
the demonstration, but not to such an
extent as was his son.
Away from the police, however,
Charlton seems to collect himself.
He has made himself as comfortable
as possible in his cell In St. Domi
nick prison, laying in a supply of his
favorite tobacco, obtaining a book in
which he. purposes to keep a diary,
and devoting himself to the study of
Italian. His father has joined him in
learning the language, that the two
might easily follow the course of the
triaL
Fearful Ordeal Ahead.
Charlton will be put on trial in No
vember, until which time he will be
forced to undergo the fearful ordeal
of an Italian police inquisition. The
refinement of cruelty, it is said, at
tends this experience, and every pres
sure is brought to bear on the pris
oner, from the gantlet of a thou
sand questions to solitary Imprison
ment in dingy, filthy dungeons. Many
prisoners have been known become
raving maniacs under the system.
During all his three years of con
finement in a New Jersey Jail Charl
ton was building up his health by
careful living and frequent exercise.
He seemed all the time to be obsessed
by the fear of the ordeal in Ita’y, al
though none except the most careful
observers could observe the dread.
To every one else he was the cheer
ful, nonchalant young fellow, who
promised every one that he would be
hack home by Christmas, and who
made numerous engagements for that
holiday season.
The inquisition through which the
police drag the young prisoner Is un
doing the health work of three years,
It seems. Charlton’s nerve is break
ing under the ordeal.
Charlton’s nerve broke once before,
it will be remembered, when the night
after he was arrested at Jersey City
there came a written confession sign
ed by him, that he had killed his
wife after a bitter quarrel, In which
her ungovernuble temper had ren
dered her practically a maniac. Aft
er he beat her unconscious, he put
her body In a trunk and sank it in
Lake Como.
Two Pleas Are Planned.
The confession has not since been
repudiated, and is considered to be
genuine. What Charlton’s defense in
