A comparison of the strenuous Library,
days of the fair and the excite
ment that followed in its train
with more recent days in which
were resumed the pleasures that
regularly attend and brighten
the winter season, serves to em
phasize the charm of both. It is
good once in a while to experience
the enthusiasm, the verve as the
French would say, that this an
nual merry-making wakes, then
the crowds departed, to return
to a round less varied, perhaps,
but none the less attractive.
And so last week held place with
its predecessor, and stored aw y
its full share of happy memories.
Tuesday was especially disti 1
guished. In the morning t e
presentation of the crosses if
honor to the veterans was an i -pressive
ceremony which tou -the
hearts of the many assembl 1
to witness it. The early aft
noon of the same day b rough' a
delightful luncheon enjoyed y
the members of the Ahdeek CI
and arranged as a graceful co
pliment to Miss Harriet Hayc1 i
Miller, of New York. Miss L i
Franklin wes the hosiers on t : ;
occasion which in its entire
displayed the cordial hospital ly
and complete artistic taste that
always characterize a welcoi 3
to the Franklin home. The d c
orations of autumn leaves wf re
lovely, the dining room, where
red was the prevailing tote,
being particularly' noteworthy.
The table was overlaid with an
exquisite cloth of Mexican dra ru
work, its elaborate center piece
bordered on either side by silv r
candelabra and with mirror pla
teau resting thereon. The ph ce
cards were crimson autumn
leaves u pon which wereinscribed
in clear white lettering appro
priate verses from Shakespeare,
cleverly selected. Covers we e
laid for ten, and gathered around
the festal board were Miss Mil
ler, Miss Gray Irion, Miss Ida
Billups, Miss Cornelia Hudson,
Miss Marianne Bradford, Mrs.
R. E. Johnston, Miss Annie Lou
ise Lee, Miss May Richards,
Miss Katherine Neilsonand Miss
Franklin.
At the next meeting
to be held the first Friday in No
vember, plans will be discussed
and formulated so that soon the
nucleus of what may develop into
into a valuable museum will be
on exhibit. Numbers of those
who cherish relics of the sixties,
recognizing that in this way they
may ;e best preserved, have" al
readv made handsome donations,
others unwilling to part with
their treasures have cheerfully
cons- ited to loan them for an in
defin .e time to the Chapter, a
meth d frequently noted in the
lead;, g art galleries of the coun
try. A collection of volumes
dea.' r g with the Civil war and
the : in whose names are a part
of it listory will also have a cor
ner : 1 the library.
Ti 1 engagement of Miss Isa
bel " i ngaix, of Birmingham, to
i Jliam Allen, of New York,
i ?n announced and is re
c with interest in Colum
v here Miss Dangaix was so
gem ' .ely admired duringa visit
to y s Sherrill a few years ago,
and vhere she is recalled with
rnu 1 pleasure. Dr. Allen is the
cori spoudent of sociology for
the University of Chicago, a man
of rare talents and ability and a
student whose educational and
philanthropic work has made
him t prominent figure in this
and 'ther lands. He was for
merly a member of the faculty
of the University of Pennsylva
nia, out is now connected with
the. Chicago University, and. is
general agent of the New York
Ass ciation for improving the
conaition of the poor. Miss Dan
gaix combines with pronounced
social charms unusual culture
and the gentle qualities of mind
and heart that have caused un-

of Li vy and Extracts from his
history," "A Description of Rome
architecturally in the Augustan
Age," "The Elegiac Poets and
Ovid.?' Miss Worthington's class
will be reorganized sometime
within tho next fortnight, and
will study the great historical
novels this winter.
Mrs. Early and Miss Birdie
Early have countless friends here
who are always glad to have
news of them. After spending
the summer in Kentucky they
visited relatives in Lynchburg,
Va., and expect to leave this
month for Florida, where Miss
Early has accepted a flattering
offer to teach art. Their contem
plated stay in New York was
abandoned on account of Mrs.
Early's health, which necessita
ted a milder climate.
Little Miss Passie May Ottley
is congratulated by her large
circle of Columbus admirers up
on being a prize winner at the
Atlanta horse show last week.
Little Miss Ottley drove tandem
and her entrance into the ring
elicited a shower of compliments,
a tribute to the winsome little
maid and to her skill in handling
the ribbons.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thomp
son of Raleigh, N. C, who were
in Columbus the greater part of
last winter, made sincere friends

ham during the cotton season.
Mrs. Weir, of Macon, has ar
rived in the city and will become

welcome.
Miss Bessie Wilkerson left

the United Chanties and thei o v.
A beautiful entertainment ard
one about which lingers the
pleasantest of recollections, w;.s
the meeting of the Ladies Whist
Club with Mrs. John P. Mayo
Wednesday afternoon. Cosmos
appeared as the favorite lloweis
in the decorations, and were em
ployed most effectively in the
parlor, where quantities of piL.v
blossoms were in evidence, giv
ing an exceptionally pretty cok ?
motif. In the reception hall
more brilliant result was obtai -ed
by a wealth of white cosm
and crimson dahlias, conspicuoi
amid a background of palms a?
ferns. Two elegant meat cours'
were served at the conclusion
the games, played with a spir t j
and skill that added anew to i
afternoon wherein perfection . 1
detail rendered so charming
whole. The guests were Mr
Mazyck, of South Carolina, Mr
Ayres, Mrs. George Banks, Mr.
