Ths beautiful home of the Grays is an Ideal place for an al fresco party, and Wed nesday tba many-colored gowns of the women present gave an added charm to the picture. Mrs. Gray received her guests In a dainty suit of white linen, band-em- less, nervous wrecks of women whose duties take them out through the fiery, tumultuous streets, where various desth-deallng devices make one recall with pitiful longing tbs burning of Rome, and the glaring days of destruc tion which overtook that magnlllcent city of ths Golden Gate. AU things In life are comparative, and It Is no wonder that the woman who threads her helpless way through the burning, turbulent thoroughfares of Atlanta on the .noisy Fourth should soothe her nerve-racked brain with restful stories - of tho destruction of those "cities of tho plain," In tho far. off Orient, In the far-off days. The one compensating thing left to reetore tho equilibrium Is tbs clang of the gong'of the ambulance, as It hur ries through ths streets, to carry to his reward soma exasperating patriot who, like many another such simpleton, has left his country for hla country’s good As the shadows of the torrid summer night fall upon the city rockets will blase their way toward those other stun; and Roman candles will Illumi nate beautiful parka and private lawns. Rest and quiet must come at last; the latest oslebrator must sleep either In death or on some fashion of a bed; morning will break again and .the jour nals of the country will tell In mourn. of. the tragedies of the ful numbers .... ... day Just past. Normal conditions will be restored, with big doctors’ bills and crowded hospital wards left to tell the tales of sickening accidents. Wtmen will be able once more to walk abroad without the consciousness of marching to certain and Ignominious death. What Is left of the small American boy will return to hla kite, marbles and bat and ball. The amoke and grime of powder will disappear; the toy pistol and cannon having accomplished their retired list until the bell mss begin to chime and the Fourth of July of 1906 will have taken Its place among the national anniversaries which shall forever bear witness to American courage and American Inde pendence. broldered and trimmed with lace.

Queen .Victoria of Spain has .made fashionable an elegant device for pro tectlng bright eyes from ths sun and warding off sun headaches.
