bridegroom-e elect. will add to the necessity
for a quiet celebration. Mr.. Campbell. Sr.

but of late years he had retired and given
himself up to literature. His history of
THE Puritans in Their Three Homes, Hol-
land. England and America" has attracted
widespread attention and sdded much to
the reputation even of such a distinguished
man. The son is said to inherit his fathers
gifts. Miss Dunbar is now IN New York

rooms were beautifully and artistically ap-
pointed, the prevailing color being pink !;
and very rare and pleasing departure were
the real apple blossoms that descended in
garlands from the chandeliers. The center
pieces were exqutsitely tinted and eKe~
cuted, and the quantities of flow
ers, fresh and fragrant. we're a
beautiful setting to the bevy Of
graceful and beautiful women, who so
charmingly assisted Mrs. Cunningham IN
receiving, and making this occasion one of
many pleasant memories OF the entertain
ments at that popular home.
The engagement Of Mr.. Tom Glover of
Marietta to Miss Mary Eloise Nesbitt Of
that city has been announced, and the we'd
ding will occur early in June Mr.. Glover
is one of the most prominent young men of
that charming and progressive place, both
socially and in business circles and Miss
Nesbitt is the belle and beauty of the city
Augusta is very enterprisinR and is not
satisfied with its reputation for bright and
good looking women, extravaganza young
men, and an overfiowing canal but it
wants TO be the home OF celebrities, judg-
ing from the following: MRS. Frank
Leslie is in Charleston, and an excursion
given her to Magnolia garden reads very
much like similar trip in her honor up
our beautiful canal just about year ago.
Wherever she goes She is toasted and given
ovations, and speeches and compliments are
followed by some of her own bright recita-
tions. Yesterday she recited The Bravest
Battle That Ever Was Fought, and COM
pletely captured the Charlestonians. It was
a realm OF romance among the maguolias,
and we hope the aroma of the flowers and
the toasts Of eloquent Carolinians have
not weaned Mrs. Frank Leslie from her
promise to build q castle on our nights
across the river. Ia it not time for Au-
gusta to be stirring in this mattera Why
should not North Augusta keep pace with
Murray hill!
Now that the Louisa Porter home has an.
other proteRe on its list, and one who surely
needed kindness and protection, it is an ad-
ditlonal inspiration to the actors who are
submitting their talent for that object.
The scene in the court room yesterday pre-
sented very striking picture to the causal
observer, where the home was speaking In
behalf OF a friendless waif found in the
woods some time since by a big-hearted and
clear-headed old-tine maumer, who would
stand up to give her evidence, prompted by
instructive politeness.
''Do not think you can make girl lovely
IL you do not make her happy" Ruskin.
Women have more common sense than
they get credit for. and the hoop skirt will
find this out aud find itself ignored. There
is nothing graceful or convenient or be-
coming about the fabrication of wire, and
it has been the cause of 30 much comment
and disspproval that It certainly will be
pushed to the wall. It is said that when
hoopskirts we're in vogue $50 years ago and
Hnndeps Messiah" was first produced in
Dublin, the desire 20 hear it was so great
that those ladies who set the fashions agreed
to 60 for that one occasion without their
dress extenders. Otherwise a much smaller
number of people would have gained ad-
mission 20 the hall.
Lamps and lamp shades are very attract
i've feature in q pretty room and are q
great addition 30 the drawing room. The
softening effect on the light is also greatly
