THE NEWS OF SOCIETY
SOCIAL GOSSIP
Ash Wednesday will bring to its close one of the gayest winter sea
sons that Augusta has ever known. Every day has been filled with several
parties and each evening there has been a continuation of the social
gaiety.
And Lent will be most welcome. Despite the fact that the social ele
ment has kept up a continuous round of gaieties almost every one of the
set are tired to death of cards. They go and enjoy the parties and yet
they are glad of something which will put an end to them for awhile.
They want them to end, temporanaly, and yet they don't want to be the
one to stop them.
During Lent is the time that a society editor is supposed to rest, but
this is a mistake. Society editors never rest. When there is a gay
season it is easier than when news lags. Anybody can get out a social
column when the world is busy, but it takes a good deal of energy and
these things combined, to get out a column when nothing is doing, as it
were.
The social season which has been unusually gay for the past few
weeks is slowly drawing to a close, but to use a trite expression it is
“dying hard.” For the past few there has ben a continuous round
of gaiety which is now subsiding.
There are a ntimber of informal affairs for this week. Mrs. George
S. Lombard will entertain with bridge on Monday afternoon at her home
on upper Greene street. Mrs. Kuhne will give a luncheon on Tuesday
Mrs. Frank Clark will give a bridge tea at her home on the Hill on
Tuesday. Tuesday night there will be the dinner dance at the Country
Club, postponed from Monday on account of Lillian Russell.
Pine Heights tea room is the place these beautiful days and the ladies
in charge are coining money for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A. which they
are so interested in. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday there is a
large attendance from Augusta, the tourists taking advantage of the de
lightful ride up to Grovetown. Tea is served and with it a number of
delicious little Southern confections that can be found no where save at
Pine Heights.
Theatre-goers have a treat in store for March 6th when Maud Odell
will be seen in "The Paradise of Mahomet.”
Miss Odell has been seen here On several occasions and has easily de
monstrated her magnificent dramatic ability. She has a leading role.
Augustans remember Miss Odell as Tille Odell of Beaufort, when as
a young girl she made that place her home, and was the life of the old
“Sea Island Hotel” which was operated by/ her mother and uncle, Mr.
Jack Clancey. She was a magnificent swimmer and it was nothing un
usual to see her take a high dive from the bath house, and in almost
less time than it takes to tell it she was out of sight or hid by the big
waves which she breasted so fearlessly. Years passed and she went
on the stage, winning plaudits and laurels. After awhile she yielded to
the persistent wooing of a rich man and was married. For five years she
was lost to the stage. Domestic life claimed her. The old longing
came back for stage life, she responded, and has been connected with one
of the big New York companies for the past two years. That she will
be greeted by a big house when she appears here goes wtthout saying.
Miss Odell will be with Mrs. Percy May for a day while here.
Society is on the qui vive for the announcement of the engagement
of two of its most popular members.while nothing official has been given
out, it is very generally understood that the wedding will bo one of the
prettiest events of the summer.
“CENTRAL” SPEAKS.
Call me not with scornful numbers,
Like "two-seven-O-rlng-three!”
out in disdainful accents —
Pray, be courteous to me!
Would you like to sit here with a
Telephone strapped on your head.
All day long to answer summons?
Wouldn’t you wish that you were
dead ?
When I say the line Is busy,
Honestly, sometimes it is.
Why do you get so indignant
When you hear the buzzer’s whiz?
And wrong numbers —naturally
Sometimes I am at a loss;
But, in fact, I give them mostly
To subscribers who are cross.
Be polite. It will not hurt you,
Even though I’m in a box,
I am human —although hidden—
And am sensitive to knocks.
Be polite. Do unto others
As you'd have them do to you.
It's a good rule to observe—and
You'll get better service, too.
—Somerville Journal.
