HOME EDITION VOLUME XIX. No. 179. OF SOCIHEfY : 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. ... a MRS.

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. EDEN FI ELD-CLECKLEY. Interesting to Augusta friend* will be the announcement of the marriage on Tuesday last of Miss Mary Lou deckle) and Mr. .Joseph Kdenfleld. both of North Augusta, which took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M< Jones. Rev. Mr. Waugh pe». forming the ceremony Immediately a'terwards the bride and groom left for Savannah and on their return they will be at home to their friends at the home of Mr and Mrs. C. K. EUenfield in North Augusta. 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 Miss Rosa Woodbury’s school, At 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 scholarship by communicating with the Educational Department of the Augusta Woman's Club. POND PARTY FOR MR. AND MRS. BAKER.
