t HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, 0A„ SUNDAY. NOVEMBER I, 1914. 3 H ^^•VvVtVkVfVvkkVir'kVitflGet Stamps at Postofflce, Center Aisle WMi M. RICH & BROS. CO. “D- . O you read all that Polly Peach- l tree rubbish every week?" a certain man asked me Just the other day. "Well, sometimes,” I admitted meekly. "Well, occasionally It's very sood." he said gTudg-lngly, "but some weeks I 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 neat time.’ It would save every body a lot of trouble.” They say there Is nothing like see ing yourself as others see you, and I certainly hope there Isn’t, i confess that I didn’t enjoy the experience a, bit. And I hope that man sees th^s, and I hope he feels quite badly abodt 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 there! • • • W HT don't more people grow old gracefully T If I have heard 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 tney hate getting old. That may be the solution. But some people DO grow 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 Jarge enough for a doll Santa Claus to come 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 evety 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 the world. “I And light touches of Cuticura Ointment. They remove dan druff, allay irritation and pro mote permanent hair health.

Boston. despise people who use scented soap.” 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 grlri stood in a checked sport wrap. The grirls 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. ”1 despise that.” “No, lt*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, one 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. ”1 don’t know Mr. Blank,” came the replv. “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 wag 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. • • • | AM really coming* to believe what I 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 he 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 the 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 ieduclng 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. (V/l RS. HOWARD BUCKNELL j I 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- lele 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. • • • \ f 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, though I have wondered occasionally why it was that Mr. Bmlth did not 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 l>een only In the last year or so that he has become Identified with his home town. I was talking to him not long ago, but I must say that he 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. £ % * $ J To Get Rid of Wrinkles and Bad Complexion 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 oil 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 of 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 saxollte, dissolved in 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. 1 New $23.50 to $29.50 Dresses at T !
