By MRS. WILLIAM WORTH MARTIN
We accepted an Invitation a few aft
ernoons ago that was given our hostess,
Mrs. Thurman, by her friend, Mrs.
Rives, mother of the authoress, Ame
lia Rives, now Princess Tfoubetekoy, to
bring us over to visit "Castle Hill,"
the old estate of the Rives.
Tbe party consisted of Mrs. Thur
man, Mrs. Long and daughter, of Dan
vllle, and the writer. In approaching
the domain of "Caatle Hill'' from the
public highway we coursed a long ave
nue, formed on each side by lofty ce
dars and locusts, which extended In
graceful curves for nearly a mile. As
the mountains are approached, we
reach an elevated plain from which a
wide expanse of view breaks forth to
ward the east.
On entering the portals of extended
lawn, which stretches for several
hundred yards from the house, which
even yet can scarcely be seen amid the
dense foliage, one Is lifted In a trans
port of delight while circling through
a mass of majestic oaks and drooping
ferns and fragrant evergreens. On
every aide nature and art seem to meet
and kiss each other. On one hand a
tangled undergrowth of original for
est, while on the other a long stretch of
velvet green, dotted here and there
with tropical plants, which waft the
perfumed air and cooling breese In Joy
ous welcome toward the visitor who
feels as if approaching some enchanted
haven of peaceful rest, such as this
beautiful home really possesses.
As I traveled the ground over which
Amelie Rives had so often bounded and
frolicked In the sprightly -morning of
her youth, I could not help recalling the
many fanciful pictures of the authoress
and her home 1 had often drawn In my
Imagination, and now that 1 realised
I was on the premises and approach
ing the houqo where lived the one who
hnd made a name In the world of ro
mance, 1 naturally wondered It things
would be at all as I had pictured them.
The house la scarcely visible' through
the forest of trees until one alights at
tho foot of Its steps, which lead to a
wide-spread portico, whose stately col
umns are entwined with English ivy,
while on euch side towering oxallas
stand sentinel. I think one,la apt to
feel a little shadow of disappointment
In visiting for the first time "Castle
Hill” at not seeing some lofty palatial
structure, such as Its name Implies,
—Instead what greets the eyo Is a
simple, plain, two-story brick building,
flanked on each side by high windows
and gloss doors, which lead to extensive
conservatories.
At last we reached the house, and
In a -very few moments after sending
In our cards appeared Mrs. Rives, a
fragile looking and petite woman, with
snowy white hair and soft and velvety
complexion. Her manner was so cor
dial and gracious In receiving us, the
friends of her friend, Mrs. Thurman,
that I felt I was not meeting a stran
ger, au eontralro, one whom I had pre
viously known. With our cards In her
hand, she said: "Will you please tell
me which Is Mrs. Long and which Is
Mrs. Martin? I want to know which Is
which," wonting to know, I presume,
the Individuality of her visitors. She
kindly expressed fegret that her daugh
ter* could not meet us. Princess
Troubetakny Is In Florence visiting her
husband's family. Mrs. Allen Potts,
formerly Gertrude Rives, was absorbed
In the doings of the horse show at
Fredericksburg, where she was riding
and exhibiting her horses.
After a few minutes’ conversation
with Mrs. Hives and referring to the
lovely church and Its surroundings that
we hnd Just passed en route. I at once
caught from a glance what wsa near
est and dealest to her heart, and that
which seemed to Interest her most In
her declining years—the work of her
church. She Is the president of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the same. Her
face appeared for the moment Illumi
nated, as If by some flashlight, as she
proceeded In n very enthusiastic man
ner to give us a brief history of this
church, which she said was one of the
oldest In this part of the state. It was
originally called Walkers parish, now
flowers forming a centerpiece on the
table.
Miss Dargan's guests will be Mr. and
Mrs. T. U. Felder, Miss Ada Norfleet,
Messrs. Clem and M. B. Dunbar and
II. F. Prescott.
THURSDAYllRIDGE CLUB.
This club was charmingly enter
tained Thursday morning by Misses
Martha and Bessie Woodward at their
home, on West Peachtree. After the
game a delicious course luncheon was
served at the card tables.
The club members present were:
Misses I .aura Payne. Ethel Gay, Mary
Dess Tupper, and In the absence of
other members, Mrs. Ham Hewlett, Mrs.
Edward Fortson and Miss M. A. Phe
lan acted ns substitutes. The prise was
a pair of silk hose.
IN HONOR OF VISITORS.
Wednesday u small number of con
genial friends enjoyed a spend-the-day
party at Marlettn. the occasion being

Tate, of Elberton. and Miss Katherine
Howell, a trio of attractive young wom

Adams, and consisted of Miss Elisa

MRS. BUTT'8 BRIDGE.
The bridge at which Mrs. Frank' Butt
will enterialn Friday afternoon will be
one of the most Important social events
of the week, and will bring together
Grace church. The site on which the
church Is erected was formerly occu
pied by a wooden building of ante-
revolutionary date, and- was construct
ed on the estate of Colonel Walker,
a kinsman of Mrs. Rives, by whose
name It was designated.
The neighborhood Is one of peculiar
Interest, and has derived something of
historical Illustration from the circum
stance that three of our presidents, who
lived within fifteen miles of the
church, had worshiped wKbln Its sa
cred walla. .Tradition Informs us that
It was beneath the shades of the lofty
oaks, among which the tower of the
church Is “bosomed high,” that the
venerable Waddell, whose eloquence Is
so beautifully described by Wert,
‘‘raised his sightless eyes to heaven
and poured forth his words of Inspira
tion.” Nothwlthstandlng these Inter
esting associations, the ‘‘frail memo
rial,” the old church which was built
In 1718, began to gink Into decay, but
Its downward progress was arrested In
1846, when Colonel Walker decided It
was time to replace the old wooden
structure with a atone building. The
stone was quarried near by and Is of a
pinkish gray. Solidity both In the ma
terials and construction, combined with
a chaste, and elegant though simple
archltecure, mark the present building.
Though very much Interested In
Mrs. Rives’ conversation, I was not
oblivious to my surroundings, and In
glancing around I was Impressed with
the many works of art wherever my
eyes chqnced to fall, and the most In
teresting of the family collections was
that of the three sons of Mr. Rives,
grandfather of Amelie—Francis, Rob
ert. William Cabell (father of Amelie)
and Alfred Dandon—at the ages of ten,
seven and three years. These formed
a group presenting a most pleasing life
like scene and were taken In Pqrls In
1882, while Mr. Rives was ambassador
from this country. Many portraits,
landscapes, etchings and rich bric-a-
brac collections of many years of
travel In foreign lands claim also the
attention of the visitor, from which
one turns In reluctance. .1 was particu
larly struck with the many loving cups
and the Innumerable blue ribbons, the
latter tilling a large glass case, that
Mrs. Potts had won at the different
horse shows In Virginia In riding and
exhibiting her horses.
Another Interesting part of the
house Is seen In passlbg through Its
wide hallway to the rear, where one
comes to the wooden or the original
building of "Castle Hill," oa erected
in the time of Dr. Walker, In 1764.
Htre we have a/vlew of this old por
tion, showing Its antiquated appear
ance, with Its low roof and small
dormer window which have been pre
served.
In these diminutive rooms, I am
told, were once assembled such great
men as Colonel Peter Jefferson, fath
er of the president, who was a fre
quent visitor; Governor Thomas Nel
son and many others who were of note:
Here, too, Is where Tarleton stopped
with a portion of his troops In 1781,
when upon his raid to Charlottesville,
In a vein attempt to rapture Jefferson
and the legislature, but was detained
at "Castle Hill", by a very tardy but
sumptuous breakfast. It Is said that
the British general became quite Irate
at the delay In serving the meal and
bolted Into the kitchen, demanding the
cause, whereupon that worthy fimctlon-
ary, the colored cook, said: "De sol
diers dun ent up two breaffusses as
fast as 1 kin cook ’em." The general
then ordered the men to be flogged,
being flrst tied to n cherry tree, the
site of which Is still shown, and were
most unmercifully whipped, their loud
cries resounding over the place. This
delay, however, was the means of sav-

CAMBODIAN WOMEN’8 DRES8.
Cambodia la one of the spots where
woman has attained equal rights with
man, at least so far as dress goes. The
Cambodian woman wears trousers Just
like those of the men, except In color.
They -are made of soft native silk,
which falls In ample and graceful folds
and drapery effects quite different from
those of the Turks. The women of the
royal family wear deep yellow, rose,
soft pinkish gray and pinkish lilac.
Maid servants wear green trousers. As
trousers are worn by the Cambodian
woman they resemble tbe skirts of
Norman peasant, as she tucks them up
on a mussel gathering expedition, the
silk being fastened In thick pleats to a
waistband, whence It falls In a very
long and wide apron. When the band
Is fastened around the waist the middle
Is drawn ufl and fastened to the front
of the waistband. A loose girdle of a
different colored silk, with long ends, Is
added when the trousers belong to a
dancing glrL
Besides these trousers, Cambodian
women wear light silk skirts, with
scarves of crepon silk draped diagonal
ly from shoulder to hip, and an over
robe of gause, often sumptuously em
broidered. Bangles cover the arms.
The dancing girls wear spiked helmets
similar to those: of a Prussian soldier.
Those who accompany the king and
queen on their Occidental excursion
are said to be dying to wear Parisian
hats and corsets, and Mme. Fallleres
has presented one of her own hand
some hats, trimmed with feathers, to
the queen.

PEARLS THE POPULAR JEWEL.
The pearl Is omnipresent at Newport,
says Cholly Knickerbocker. Formerly
strings, ropes and dog collars were
seen 'only at dinners and balls. Now
they are worn at Bailey’s Beach In the

adjunct of the shopping tours In

MR8. BURKE-ROCHE’S
LATE8T VENTURE.
Mrs. Burke-Roche has a genius for
posing In the limelight. She Is gener.
ally the leading figure In a flashlight
picture. And she never seems to be
quite normal, no matter when the light
focused on her. Her especial gift
appears to be her talent for keeping
her domestic affairs out of Joint and
her matrimonial matters In print. She
Is an Incarnate klnetoscope and has the
eyes of the public blinking at her con
tinuous changes. As Is well known, the
newspapers of the past few day* have
given much space to her Just-an
nounced marriage to Aarel Bntonyl,
the fashionable professional driver of
New York nnd Newport; hence the
following details from a New York ex
change will be of Interest.
Her flrst marriage took place In 1880
James Boothby Burke-Roche, t
young Englishman of lineage and ex
pectatlons, but little money.
She was Miss Fanny Work, the
daughter of a rich New Yorker, Mr.
Frank Work.
Three children had been born—a
daughter, and two sons, Francis and
Maurice. Five years after their mar
riage Mrs. Burke-Roche and her
dnughter came to America and took up
their residence with Mr. Work. Soon
afterward Mr. Burke-Roche came over
1th the two boys and left them at
the Work home. Mrs. Burke-Roche
and her children continued to live with
Mr. Work, and Ave years later she be
gan a suit for divorce In the courts of
Delaware. She was represented by
Thomas F. Bayard, the grounds of the
action being stated as desertion and
non-support. At the trial Mr. Work

testified that he was obliged to -
port his daughter and her children,
decree of absolute divorce was granted
to Mrs. Burke-Roche In 1891. and she
received complete control of her chi!
dren.
Since that Ume Mrs. Burke-Roche
has lived with her father In New York,
and has occupied his Newport estate,
known as Elm Court, during the sum.
mers. Bhe has been prominent In so.
rial circles. She has been successful
with her kennels and stables, her en
tries taking many prises In the various
shows about the country.
She was the flrst woman to tool
coach and four, having been taught by
Mr. Batonyl. Of late there have been
repeated rumors that she was to marry
Mr. Batonyl. and that she was only
waiting for her daughter to marry, as
the last named had ’ requested that she
do so.
The English courts did not recognise
the divorce obtained by Mrs. Burke-
Roche, but a separation was entered
Into between Mrs. Burke-Roche and
her husband In 1888. Later Mr. Burke
Roche went Into politics, and stood for
the vacant seat In parliament from
East Kerry, being elected by a large
majority over his Conservative oppo.
nent.
Since the separation Mr, Burke.
Roche has come Into the title of Lord
Fermoy, and his daughter was entitled
to be called the Hon. Miss Burke-
Roche, but she renounced all claim to
the title about a year ago, and took out
papers as an American oltlxen, siding
with her mother, with whom she hai
always lived. The two sons, who are
now young men, have been educated
at private schools, and have always
spent their summers with their mother
at Newport.
Mr. Batonyl has been coming „
Newport for some years. At one time
he figured prominently In the horse
shows about the country, and was al
ways seen driving the entries of Mrs.
Burke-Roche. He was a professional
whip of prominence, and his services
were much In demand In teaching
women of social prominence to tool i
coach and four. He also drove a pub
lie coach In New York, but a couple of
years ago retired, giving as the reason
that he had been In an accident which
would not allow of his continuing to
drive. He then took up his legal rest
dence In Newport and established him
self at the Two Mile Corner Farm. Just
outside of the city.
Mr. Batonyl was bom In Hungary.
He received his education In the lead
ing universities of England and Eu
rope. At the University of Halle he
was. vice-president of an exclusive etui
dent organisation. After his gradua
tion he had differences with his father
and came to this country, arriving In
New York In 1889. The differences be
tween father and son were soon made
up, but Mr. Batonyl would not return
to Hungary.
His father, Leopold Batonyl, Is _
man of great wealth, and two years
ago gave his son extensive estates.
When the marriage took place or
where It took place Is not known, hut It
Is known that It was a civil service
and was performed some time ago.
Mr. Batonyl Is a Catholic and his
wife an Episcopalian.
DR. HAMMOND ON*
NERV0U8 WOMEN
"Worry, anxiety, grief and trouble
Induce more cases of neurasthenia than
all the other causes put together," says
Dr. Graeme M. Hammond, the special
ist In diseases of the brain and nerves,
In a recent article In "Harper's Basar.
"The woman who spends days and
nights In nursing some loved one does
not develop nervous exhaustion from
the physical fatigue consequent upon
her unremitting care, but from the
mental strain due to tho continuous
anxiety she Is forced to endure.”
Mental strain, says Dr. Hammond—
the strain endured by the woman who
Is forced to live with a dissolute hus
band, the woman whose closet con
tains a skeleton whose presence may at
any time be disclosed; the woman
struggling to maintain a social post
tlon on Inadequate means, "these are
the tilings which thousands of women
are facing today, and these are the
conditions which slowly but surely sap
the nervous forces until a state of ex
haustion follows."
To three different causes, according
to Dr. Hammond, are dug the Increase
of neurathenla among both women and
men of today. One cause Is the com
plexity of life as It Is lived now. "Life
today carries more responsibilities,
heavier burdens than It used to years
ago. The gigantic enterprises of the
present time, the clese competition
• • • are sapping the energy of most
men and many women. The women
who are not slaves to business are con
fronted with tremendous social duties
The burdens of housekeeping and the
rearing of children, as these things are
done today, are businesses In them
selves entailing as much worry and
anxiety as most men edure In the pros
ecution of their businesses."
Another cause. In the case of some
women. Is their own folly. The women
who play bridge for hours at a time,
keeping themselves In a state of ex-
cltement till the nervous centers are
drained: the wealthy women who loll
In their carriages and grow languid
for lack of exercise; the women who
ruin their digestion by nibbling In fash,
lonable restaurants at dishes which
would "cause a man to stand aghast
If they were set before him”—all these
come In for a word of warning from
Dr. Hammond. "If you dance you must
pay the piper," he says.
But It Is a comfort to hear that the
nervous troubles so rife today are not
entirely due to the faults of this gen
eration. "Probably the most powerful
predisposing Influence causing neu
rasthenia today," Dr. Hammond re
marks, 'is the weak slid unstable
nervous system which many of us
have Inherited from our forefathers.
Through no fault of our own, but
through the faults of omission and
commission of our parents, and of those
who preceded them, we come Into the
world with perhaps great bodily vigor,
but with a deteriorated and weak ner
vous system. • • • I speak of these
things," he adds, "not with the view
of casting reflections on any of our
progenitors, but because we are, or
will become, ancestors ourselves, and
It behooves us to so direct our lives
that those who come after us may re
member us kindly."
And what remedy does Dr. Ham-
mondw suggest for neurasthenia? His
advice Is addressed to women, though
almost as many men, he says, suffer
from the disease. If It Is serious, the
sufferer should consult a specialist, of
