“The Home for Incurables dates back
to the Nelson Circle of King's Daugh

establishment and maintenance of a

that end the organization was perfect

G. Shearer elected the first Mom.l
In March of 1901 a permanent home,

insistent need of such an institution,
and a bullding fund was started to
which Mre. A. W. Calhoun ‘contributed
the first SSO. Then a sum of §1,200 was
subscribed, and in 1803 the institution
was brought into substantial existence.
A wonderful campaign was started with

to her formal reception. There he
met others, and his name, being on
the list, he was invited to the rest of

And there—and there—he met others.
And so the story went,
Now, 1 come to the place I started
for: Last week the girl who first in

He was s 0 engrossed in his attentions
to the young married woman he did
not even see his social sponsor.

T afford a subject for interesting
ik powadays. There In
hardly ever a party here of any kind
where some charming visiter is not
present. The past week we have had
an especially large and delightful
coterje of guest visitors and soon we
shall have more. |
Ann Kilby, for instance, arrived
Friday to visit lLouise Broyles, and
later will be with Isolens Campbeil.
You remember this pretty little girl
who was in the city for grand opera
last spring. Even at' that crowded
period when visitors met with much
competition from other visitors, Miss
Kilby, as quaint and charming as her
pame, made her mark on Atlanta so
ciety. A dainty blonde girl, slender
and one of the most graceful dancers
ever seen in Atlanta, is Miss Kilby,
SO, no wonder we look forward to
her coming again.
Helen Barnes has frequently vis
fted here and we account her almost
one of us. The of Martina

go merrily on, if 1 am not mistaken,
