“D'
. O you read all that Polly Peach-
I tree rubbish every week?” a
certain man asked me Ju*t the
other day.
"Well, sometimes," I admitted
meekly.
"Well, occasionally It’s very pood,”
he said prudplngly, "but some weeks
1 think it -would be much better If she
simply said: 1 can’t think of anything
to say this week, but I will try to do
better next time.’ It would save every
body a lot of trouble.”
They say there Is nothing like see
ing youraelf as others see you, and I
certainly hope there Isn’t. I confess
that I didn’t ^gnjoy the experience a
bit. And I hope that man sees this,
end I hope he feels quite badly about
It. Anyway, I shall console myself by
thinking that because I have never,
never written him up he is simply
jealous and spiteful about It. So

It asked once, I have heard It
asked a million times—almost. And
no one ever seems to know, unless
the correct answer was found by the
person who said that people never do
anything gracefully that they hate as
they hate getting old. That may be
the solution. But sdme people DO

gTOW old gracefully. There is Dr. A.
T. Spalding:, for Instance, who Is 83
now, and who is loved by every man,
woman and child who knows him, es
pecially the children. He has such a
number of grandchildren himself, and
even a great-grandchild or two; so
he knows all there Is to know about
children, and he Is always doing
something for some of them. And
just recently he has completed a mod
el dolls’ house for the little kiddles
at the Baptist Orphans’ Home, a real
house, with doors and windows and
furniture, and a chimney large
enough for a doll Santa Claus to como
down with the greatest ease. It Is the
delight of every little girl In the home,
and even of some of the small boys.
And that Is Just one of the things
that he is doing for children eveiy
day; If not his own grandchildren,
then someone else’s. And he has
grown old so gracefully that they can
not realize that he Is old at all. I
wish that here were more like him in

4 4 | despise people who use scented
j soap.”
1 It was a fair-faced young
girl on the Buckhead line edifying her
companions with likes and dislikes In
her budding mind.
“I despise any sort of perfume,” an
other girl spoke.
“Look at that coat,” pointing to the
sidewalk where a girl stood In a
checked sport wrap. The girls
giggled.
"I despise coats like that,” com
mented the first girl.
“My daddy uses something to keep
his face from getting tender when he
shaves, and I despise the scent of It,”
began the first girl all over again.
“Is It bay rum?” asked the second
girl. “I despise that.”
“No, It’s soap. I like white soap.”
“I despise castlle soap,” said the
second girl.
“I like It I despise rose soap.”
"Do you know ?” naming a well
known boy of the dancing set.
“Yes. I despise him!”
“I the car stopped and the
girls got off and all I could hear was
a faint but emphatic, “despise ”
as they went Into a beautiful resi
dence on the fashionable highway.
Some time ago I wrote of the indis
criminate use of the word Wonderful,
and now it has come to Despise!
What next?

T HERE’S a certain drug store
which Is Atlanta’s official meet
ing place. For this reason the
people who stay in the store have
fallen Into the habit of conducting a
regular messenger service between
those who are late and those who are
on time to appointments. The other
day, on© of those dreadful days last
week, a girl who lives quite a bit from
the center of town, though I shan’t
say In what direction, had an engage
ment at the store for luncheon with a
man. And It rained—oh, my good
ness, how it rained! She waited
around a bit with her hat and coat
on, hoping that it would hold up, but
when it kept on getting worse and
worse she decided to call up and
break the engagement. He had left
his office, so she gave that most fa
miliar number to central.
“Would you mind stepping out In
front and asking Mr. Blank to come
to the phone?” she Inquired sweetly
of the man who answered.
“I don’t know Mr. Blank,” came the
reply. “How shall I find him?”
"Why, he Is small and quite ugly,”
she answered in some confusion.
“Yes, I am sure he will be the ugliest
man there.”
And, with this adequate descrip
tion, Mr. Blank w?is soon at the
phone. But the trouble all came
when he Insisted on knowing how the
perfectly strange man knew who he
was, but I am quite sure she will
never tell him.

I AM really coming to believe what
I didn’t think was possible a
month or two ago, and that is
that our winter dancing is going to
be be even more strenuous than our
summer dancing was. It didn’t seem
as If we could have gotten In one
more dance step than we did all dur
ing the warm weather, but now In ad
dition to all the regular club affairs
and the entertaining for debutantes,
the Ansley has started supper dances
on Monday evening and tea dances on
Friday that, if the start Is any Indi
cation, are going to be immensely
popular. Mrs. Forbush Is an ex
ceedingly graceful dancer, and her
partner, Morgan Wheeler, was sever
al years at the Jardln de Danse, in
New York. More recently he was on
the stage and was here last winter
with Otis Skinner In “Kismet.”
Then I hear that the Piedmont Is
going to have supper dances again
after tbe theater, as they did last
winter, and this will make another
place to go. They say that dancing
Is the best exercise In the world for
leducfng flesh, and if that Is so.
there ought not to be a single fat
person—man, woman or child—In the
city of Atlanta by the time the win
ter Is half over.

M RS. HOWARD BUCKNELL Is
back from a most delightful
trip to upper Saranac, wnere
she has a summer camp that goes un
der the euphonious name of “Pine
Point Lodge.” She had been intend
ing to open her camp and have a se
ries of delightful house parties, but
she put this off on account of the
illness of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wil
liam Bucknell, and has been attend
ing the latter. Mrs. William Buck-
nell’s daughter, the Countess Dan
iels Pecorinl, of Rome, Italy, and her
husband, have also been at Upper
Saranac for several weeks. The
Count Is an officer In the Italian army
and is also prominent in diplomat! *
circles. He and the Countess have
lived several years in China, where he
was sent on a diplomatic mission.
They had intended to spend some
time In Atlanta before returning to
Italy, and their visit would have been
the signal for an unending round of
gayety, but the Countess does not
wish to leave her mother while she
Is In such poor health, so they will
stay on at Upper Saranac until busi
ness compels their return to Italy.

Y OUNG SMITH certainly stole a
march on his friends when he
married Miss Edith Branson In
Chapel Hill, and though It must
have all been planned before
hand, I can’t find a soul who
had any Inkling of it until the an
nouncement cards arrived on Thurs
day. I nearly always manage to find
out things, but I must confess that I
was completely In the dark this time,
(hough I have wondered occasionally j
why it Was that Mr. Smith did not I
seem to care particularly for any of
our Atlanta girls. He was away at
college so many years, first at Geor
gia and then at Columbia, that It has
been only In the last year or so that
he has become Identified with his |
home town. I was talking to him not j
long ago, but I must say that he I
guarded his secret well, and no one
seemed to suspect anything when he
said he was going to Chapel Hill on
business. And then the announce
ment cards! I am sure Mrs. Smith
will be a most attractive addition to
the young married set, and the bride
groom’s friends are preparing to give
them both a warm welcome when
they return from their honeymoon,
about November 1.
To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Complexion
>
M
'Tm
It is more important now than during
the period of profuse perspiration to
keep the pores clean. All cosmetics
clog the pores, in cool weather this
Interferes greatly with elimination of
waste material, injuring Instead of aid
ing the complexion. Ordinary merco-
lized wax serves all the purposes of
creams, powders and rouges, giving far
better results. It actually peels off an
offensive skin, at the same time unclog
ging the pores. Minute particles of
scarf skin come off day by day, causing
not the least pain or discomfort. Grad
ually the healthy, younger skin beneath
peeps out, and In less than a fortnight
you have a lovelier complexion than you
ever dreamed nf acquiring Mercolized
wax, obtainable at any drug store, is
spread on nightly like cold cream and
washed off mornings. One ounce usual
ly suffices.
For removing wrinkles without stop
ping the pores with pasty stuff, here’s
a never-failing formula: 1 oz. pow
dered saxolite, dissolved in H pint witch
hazel. Bathe the face in this daily for
a while; every line will vanish com
pletely. Even the first application gives
surprising results—Advertisement.
