Y. W. C. A . ’Cue Thursday at
Lake View Park
Plans for the barbecue which will
be given Thursday afternoon, July 2d
under the auspices of Yoqng Women's
Christia.. association are perfected.
There la no organization in Augusta
that gives more delightful cues than
does the Y. W. C. A., and this one
promises to be the most enjoyable that
has been given by them in many
months. Those who attend the cue
in the early Spring at Carmichael’s
recall what a delightful affair it was
what a sumptuous dinner was served
STANDARDIZING the
NEW DANCES
The t .oular dances have been stan
dardized I
The tango has been analyzed by
specialists—specialists and censors in
the art of music! The graceless or
suggestive parts have been taken out.
and a perfectly godo. irreproachable,
at the same time, graceful, .charming
dance, called tfie "tango” has 'been
standardized, and this is being
launched now by authorized members
of the International asoeiafton ol
dancing Masters, who met in Cleve
land, Ohio, and passed upon all the
dances.
For the ballroom the following
dances were agred upon as stand
ards: The tango, the maxixe, the
Venus, a beautiful' "hesitation waltz;
the half and half, a dance combining
•waltz movement nd one-step time;
the center, an improvement on what
has been called the horse trot, and a
very attractive one-step.
La Foriona and Ta Tao were ac
cepted as beautiful dances for stage
or dramatic production, but not for
the ballroom, and folk dances were'
indorsed by the association as condu
cive to health and grace.
The news of the new dances is
brought by Professor John' A. Mahler,
a member of the asociatlori who af
tended the meeting in Cleveland last
week, and took part in all the demon
strations, as well as being an officer,
active and honorary, in the associa
tion.
“.About the tango," he said, ‘there
was more discussion than about any
other dance, and more trouble was
taken in the arrangements and rules
pertaining to the steps. The desire
was to .modify the steps,” explained
Professor Mahler.
‘‘There was a standard dance agreed
upon, to be known as the standard
tango, and this will be accepted and
taught all members of the associa
tion. representatives coming from
Great Britain, France, Spain and
Italy.”—Exchange. ...

THE PASSING OF
MRS. GRUNDY.
Recently with a genteel squeak,
Mrs. Grundy gave up the ghost.
Our old friend died, we are told, of
mortification morbus, superinduced
by what she saw at a tango tea,
which, mistakenly, she had entered,
thinking it a sewing class. But prev
iously she had been ailing. She suf
fered from neglect and also from ex
posure. After the slit skirt came in
she wah never quite the same. Yet
the mortification to whicii she finally
succumbed must for years have been
latent.
Following the old ladv from her
birth in England in the early Victor
ian age down through the . ears in
which she developed and reigned as
the censor of discretionary etiquette,
we are told M 4 rs. Grundy’s first pre
monitions came when the Quean oI
Denmark “got on a wheel oile day and
changed the face of the earth."
What the bicycle began then, the
motor kept. And the ways that the
chaperon was too fat to keep up.,
away youth was too fat to keep up.
There were sports, after-theater sup
pers, all sorts of things. People asked
legs and less what Mrs. Grundy would
say. The Victorian age and id»a
were passing.
Dumbly, in her shaky bones, the
poor thing may have felt that that
passing was her own Yet for her
comfort, there were the bookstalls,
the balj room and the stage.
Over these the early proprieties
brooded still. What oame over th
floats was as decorous as what wen’:
into plant. In the ball room, though,
the polka had gope, age had rendered
the waltz respectable. Moreover,
though, girls rode, the' did so w-ith
grace, perhaps but with the same
modesty that had charcterlzed their
grandmammas.
Then, presto! One prop after an
other fell. The entire Victorian edi
fice crashed. Out from under rode
girls astride. Playwrights took the
sex problems and box offices to the
receipts. Novelists that had padded
their wares with scenery and plati
tudes filled them with passion and
bad grammer.
Yet these things—all of them,
even to girls astride — Mm, Grundy
might have politely affected to be un
aware. had It not been that what
Denmark began Argentina completed.
It was the tango that finished the
old lady.—Edgar Saltans, In Aainslee.

THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING. JUNE 28. 1914.
SOCIAL GOSSIP
The departure of Sir. and Mrs.
Croft Williams and their interest
ing little family tomorrow for
their new home in Charleston where
he will be in charge of St. John's
church is the occasion of regret to
all who know them. They leave ac
companied by the good wishes of all
Augustans. Mr. Williams during
his pastorate of Christ church has
proven himself a practical Christian
in every sense of the word, and has
been a worker such as few ec
clesiatistics that have come to Au
gusta have been. Mr. Williams
will be in charge of the social ser
vice work of St. John which does
much for the personal and spiritual
welfare of many boys andgirls.
Method, system, is a great thing.
There is a woman in Augusta who
is not very generally addicted to
making trips on short notice and
yet she lias a trunk ot some size
that site keeps in perfect order for
a trip. It is almost a "Hope Chest”
so lovely are the garments in it.
The prettiest of all her lingerie is
laid away in lavender, which by
the way, has again come into popu
larity and prominence it is so de
liciously sueet and clean smelling,
—so refreshing and so utterly un
like the heavy perfumes that have
been in vtogue for so long a while,—
11 ese things are all ready for a vis
it on short notice, the only addi
tions tha t have to be made are the
d«esses. TU ■ trunk is complete in
every othfi way, even to toilette
artices.
And this reminds one • that this
woman is not the only one that
takes time by the forelock and gets
ready for what she may do. There
is an Augusta man who makes a
trip, business, on an average of ev
ery week or two, and bis grip is
always packed and ready. Just as
soon as he returns from a trip the
soiled clothes are replaced with
fresh ones ami the grip strapped for
another trip'. The only thing tlial
remains in it is a pint flask of
whiskey for emergency cases, and
this flask enjoys a distinction that
probably no other on earth does. It
has been in the grip, the same whis
key, for the past twelve years, lias
made journeys enough to encircle
the world, ana only one drink has
ever been taken out of it. Do you
know a traveling flask, or any oth
er kind for that matter, that beats
this record?
The marriage of Miss Louise
Howard and Mr. \Villiaifi YV. King,
of Atlanta, on Tuesday evening of
this week, is of interest to Augusta
friends. Miss Howard’s old home
is Augusta and Mr. King puts in
several days here almost every
every month, so he also has many
Augusta friends. The marriage will
take place at the Frank Butt home
on Columbia Avenue at nine o'clock,
a brautifu! affair witli several hun
dred guests in attendance.
The marriage of Miss Evelyn
Deas and Mr. Todd Harwell, of
Atlanta, will he a beautiful home
event of Tuesday evening taking
place at the Greene street home of
and Mrs. A. J. Deas at nine o’clock
The wedding flowers will he the
daisies which will he used in the
most lavish abundance. The
groomsmen will be Mr. Andrew
Dens and Mr. Thomas Teague.
The bathing ponds are quite the
most popular place around Augus
ta this weather and every afler
nonn and evening the ponds are
filled with bathers out for a eool
dip, a swim, and and not infre
quently a little al fresco supper af
ter donning one’s clothes. The
"Htay lit Homes” are probably en
joying the summer much more than
those who are at the seaside. They
have their motors, both cars and
launches, they have their little in
informal parties, which by the way
rarely get into the papers, and then
In the cool, sweet early evening
they end up with a dip In the pond
a refreshing drive home and a de
licious sleep till morning, when
one gets up refreshed and invigor
ated for the day's work.
The Augusta Woman's Club has
been presented with a scholarship

lanta, (la., which will prove of in
estimable benefit to the girl secur
ing it, as Miss Woodbury is recog
nized us one of the ablest instruc
tors In the slat •. Further particu
lars can be obtained in regard to
