* anecdote, I know not, but The
Philadelphia Telegraph is responsible
for the firat printing, and it * clever
enough to repeat, anyway At a re-
* cent dinner party in Washington, says
The Telegraph. the conversation
turned to old-time customs, and this
little story was told by Mrs. Leigh
* C. Palmer, wife of Lieutenant Com-
* mander Palmer, of the navy.
t One afternoon. Mra. Jones paid a
* rislt to her friend. Mrs Smith, in a
* distant part of the town, and on her
* return she proceeded to impart to
* husband Jones the more important
* incidents of her tall.
“And there la another Hiram." re-
. marked the good woman as the r«-
* cital flowed on. ‘I don’t believe the
* Smiths are as religious as they used
* to be,”
* “They ain't!” said Hiram, with a
* surprised expression. What makes
* you think mo?”
“Well, it’s this way." returned Mrs
» Jones “For more than 2f» years that
* bifc Bible of theirs has lain on the
* center table in the parlor, and now It
* has disappeared.”
"That ain’t because of their relig
ion, Mary,” smiled Husband Jones.

O NCE upon a time when I had
the pleasure of being introduced
• to a charming society woman of
Birmingham, she, made as an opening
' remark the statement that "Blrmlng*
* ham was always Jealous of Atlanta
I and Atlanta of Birmingham.” Now I
. had never heard a whisper of Jeal
ousy °n the part of Atlanta There-
• fore I was somewhat surprised at
the remark Since then I have heard
that Birmingham people really were
a little envious of Atlanta. In a so-
<• cial way, and setting Atlanta a stand-
• ards as a record they attempted to
* equal or excel this record. It may
* be that the one-sided rivalry had
something to do with Birmingham’s
brilliant social program of last week
for the golf tournament. If so. 1
must acknowledge that they have
beaten us this time. Of course, when
Atlanta had the former tournament
of the Southern Woman's Golf Asso
ciation. the organization was in its in-
fancy, and the next time we expect
I to do much better However, the
fact remains that Birmingham holds
the palm so far. and she can sit back
and wait for some other city to excel
the charming hospitality of last
week's tournament. And no group
had a happier time of it all than those
from Atlanta In the first place, our
fair city never had such a representa
tion at previous tournaments. We hav e
always had a clever sports contingent
present—Mrs. Paine. Mrs. Broyles.
Mrs. Robert Jones, Alexa Stirling and
so on—but this time the golfers were
reinforced bv others who Hie not such
good players, but are socially active
and interesting The ('ountry Club
was the scene of much of the gayety,
of course, and small luncheon par
ties every day were grouped there in
large numbers. Th**n every afternoon
and more especially every evening
was given over to social pleasures
One of the very best of these, say
many, was the moonlight picnic giv
en bv the Edward Barrets, and 'the
list of guests ' sounded much like one
of our own For Instance, Mrs. Frank
Adair, Mrs. Thomas B Paine. Mrs
Edwin Johnson. Mrs. Albert Thorn
ton. Jr. Mrs. Inman Sanders. Mrs.
John Sommerville and Mr. James H
Nunnally. The Atlanta contingent
contained several beauties as well as
prize golf players Of course. Mrs
Albert Thornton was much admired.
She was the guest of another beauty,
Mrs. Campbell Maben. and the two
made a most alluring 'picture" at the
club during the week's affairs. A
Birmingham paper noted the fact that
"Mrs Thornton is a remarkably
beautiful woman, with soft brown
hair and faultless pearhblow com
plexion.”
Of course, Atlanta's sports record
was sustained by the splendid playing
of Alexa Stirling and Mrs Tom
Paine And I do think that Mrs.
Paine helped also to sustain our rec
ord for dancing

The baby house party was planned.

Smith, who wished to have all her

Of course, the parents of the "kid

in their lives, they had to take a

W HEN Mrs. Thomas Heneage
arrived In Atlanta the other
afternoon at 5 o’plock. after
a long and tedious Journey from
Chicago, she was met at the train
by her hostess and whirled out to the
Driving Club, where she found her-
I self the honor guest of a teafmrty,
If you pleaae. Without having time
to powder her nose after arriving,
[young Mrs. Heneage was as charm
ing as could he, wearing a
[smart little black and white checked
silk costume, a chic black tailored
hat adorned with an owl's head and
around her neck, a white fox fur
piece One could not Imagine her
hetng Just in from a long, long train
Journey and on hot days, at that! Mrs.
Ifeneage Is an exceptionally clever
young woman—that's the reason she
managed to look like an honor guest
at a Driving Club teapartv ten min
utes after ending a cross - the-con-
tlnent Journey. And she is always
smartly costumed At the various af
fairs of the week she has shown this
statement to be verv true. I^ots of

side on the front porch swing as
dusk was falling on the night be
fore their wedding last week. Every
thing was ready for the fray I mean
for the wedding—and things were se
rene and calm until presently came a
small boy on a bicycle with an enor
mous box in his arms, addressed to
the bride-to-be When opened, this
box disclosed a bridal bouquet of or
chids and valley lilies and white rib
bons Forthwith grave doubts arose
In the mind of the bridegroom Was
she going to elope with another man
to-night? Was the bouquet a grim
reminder of broken vows from a dis
carded suitor? Were they both mis
taken about the date of the wedding
or—horrors! — was it really Saturday
night, and they sitting there thinking
It was Friday?
Consternation seised upon the
household for ft time until communi
cation with the florist was established
and it was learned that his mistake
caused the bouquet's premature arri
val. So It was put on ice and kept
very nicely, thank you. until Saturday

tJZZLE: Find the girl.
I do not myself know who she
Is. for the narrator of this little
tale did not tel! me the number of the

this tale. Anyway, the neighbor

friends, only to And her, front door
locked and her husband and family
temporarily absconded. After looking
under the doormat and being unre
warded for her search, this neighbor
decided to sit down and wait for said
key and family to arrive. Not having
much else to do, she commenced to
count the young men callers on the
girl across the wav. When she had
come to number 22. her husband ar
rived and unlocked the door.

that the young men were re

OW. if you are tired of bridge and
do not care to dance in the day
time. if golf is too strenuous for
you and tennis too fast; if you are not
"keen” for motoring and never liked to
walk, 1 ran tell you of a wonderful
game which will keep you out in the
fresh air for an hour or so at the time,
which Is mildly interesting and fur
nishes beneficial exercise without
strenuoslty, which can be played in
your own back yard with two or three
or a half-dozen friends. No, this is
not a new game, but an old one re
vived by a clever Atlanta woman of
late. Have yon not heard of Mrs. John
Murphy’s croquet ground at Hill

counts of those wlw> have taken up
this game, which was once the sport
of kings and all fair ladies, nothing so

Every morning, whilst the dew Is

new-old game with her. They roll the

PEAKING of brides and honey
moons. I hear that the entire
resident household of the Ponce
DeLeon apartments has been most
deeply interested in the proof of a
honeymoon which has lasted nine
years. It seems that a voung couple
who live there recently celebrated
their ninth anniversary. To be sure,
many young couples celebrate the
ninth anniversary—generally with
giving a dinner to a group of friends,
•o that they will not by any chancy
be left alone to celebrate the event.
But this couple went about things
quite differently. In the first place.
Hubby was called away on business
and simply could not be at home for
the occasion! Well, that In Itself
would not be unusual, but Just you
wall until I get through with this
story
On the morning of the fateful day
the door bell rang at 8 o’clock and
there stood a small boy with an enor
mous box of candy from the loving
husband to his lonely little wife. At
10 o’clock the door bell rang again
and another boy produced a great
bouquet of flowers, from the same to
the same At 12 o’clock sharp the
beautiful pearl necklace arrived—dit
to. At 2 o’clock came a loving tele
gram. and so on
All day long the young wife took
these offerings—with intervals of two
hours between—just like a pill And
the neighbors swallowed it whole I
mean by that, they watched with
lively appreciation these "perfectly
sweet" manifestations of a love that
has kept Its fervor for nine years.
Now. I’ll venture to say the ordinary
husbands mound in the neighborhood
of the Ponce DeLeon are having a
terrible time, trying to live up to the
example set before them

No. I did not sav "naval officer."
(There is safety In numbers.) And I
mean the officers on the Olympia,
which ship was stationed at Savannah
last week and had a fine time in port
Incidentally, the Savannah girls hai
a fine time, too and Rosalie Davis was
a well-entertained visitor. One of the
most elaborate affairs of the series
given for and by the Olympia officers
was "The Plaza of Mirth" dinner par
ty. It Is said the dinner party merited
its name. The captain, lieutenants
and ensigns reciprocated the social
attentions accorded them with a din
ner on board the Olympia one eve
ning. and another dinner-dance was
then given by the Savannah contin
gent at the Oglethorpe Club; so that
the officers of the Olympia Anally had
to steam away in social debt to Sa
vannah.
By the way. I have heard that a |
good way to keep up with approaching
marriages. engagements. serious
flirtations and the like is to note who

It is only within recent times that we have recognized the necessity for
