''On Rollemhf, Oh Rollemhi!
 Where ynUu a men 9 and p bows % can get the gun And to the fields for sport and fun; Where danes and maids sit in the shade Or in the cooling brooks do wade. And ali is done for ones delight.
 Oh Roliemhi, Oh Rollemhi!
 I hope to reach you bye and bye"
 The above lines hang upon the wall at the summer home of Mir. and Mrs. w. A. Gayle at verbena and were written by Mrs. Norman winn of Defnopolis who has recently been a guest there.
 And over the mantle in the spacious hail are writ in large red letters;
 At Roilemhi! At Rollemhi!
 Let Peace and Pleasure reign.
 O Roiienhii O Rollemhi
 Thy guest must care disdain."
 It Is a rare pleasure to be guest at this hospitable home, where Misses Eliz- abeth Winter, Olivia Arlington, Fannie Marks and Mrs. J. M. deCottes formed a fortunate group of guests last week.
 A morning beneath the grape arbor of some kind friends of the host-an evening at ten pins at Klntrey, the beautiful summer home of pr. and Mrs. B. J. Baldwin of Montgomery, and several mu sical evenings at Rollemhi at which Montgomery's two accomplished artists. Miss Winter and Miss Marks, were chief performers, were some of the diversions of this few days of pleasure.
 The fine host at Rollemhi is fin training for perfection as swell country gentle nan and does his trainer credit. Barring a few lapses into former city barbarian ism he shows marked improvement A few of his errors might be a warning to others with like ambition.
 When a guest who had been invited to spend a day arrived with huge Saratoga trunk. it proved too much for this train- ing and he inquired in a stage whisper of his wife is she had extended a Saratoga trunk invitation, glance from his trainer brought him too"
 When he spoke of putting on a pine knot c crack of the whip induced him to refer in a iordly manner to throwing on a faggot.'' When he carefully folded his napkin after dinner just steady gaze caused him to reconsider and place it in the most approved crumpled mass beside his l plate When he expressed delight at the | departure of the Saratoga trunk guest | just a look from his 'keeper's' eye brought forth shower of tears of regret | at the pending separation.
 1 These are small matters and the evi' | dences of marked improvement are too | numerous to mention.
 l Amorg the persons whose presence ad- l ded much to the pleasure of Mir. and Mrs Gayie's guests were Major Gibson and his charming daughter. Miss Mary Carr | Gibson. whose home is just across the | way from Rollemhi. Major Gibson | proved his artistic Censibilities and | with one stroke his appreciation of | the beautiful when after. the rendition of a masterpiece by one of the artists, he gazed steadily at her for an instant or two, heaved deep sigh and remarked. And her skirt hangs so beautifully too." Any man who really knows when a womans dress really hangs well has
 an eye for symmetry and no mistake. And any woman who has learned that
 her first song will make a better hit
 if her skirt hangs well has learned a lesson that will help her even though
 she be Jenny Lind, Pareppa Rosa, or
 a Patti
 Speaking of appreciation. the small
 boy of the family gave evidence of his when the refreshments came on n
 wishing somebody would give papa [
 croquette hen" And his little sister tolC
 of two hearts that beat as one. whei
 she udded' q wish so. tco; I'd sure b,
 there every time she laid" This sam
 young lady was sorry for papa whel
 enc of his jokes went by default. am
 said: T II laugh at you, papa" And sh
 did laugh a laugh that gave evidence o
 histrionic talent of a high order.
 A few days CT rtcytng such hospitalit.
 at the hands of such charming host ant hostess. in the companionship of sucl
 deiightf il persons as are found at Rol
 lembie is truly a joy.
