OCIETY, weary of weeks of @N quietude. has resumed its chat O ter. it's pretty gowns. It's worldly airs.
 The first of the series of post Lenton evenss was the card party qt when Ms Benjamin Grigsby Copeland entertained between two and three hundred guests yesterday afternoon at tce Hilman. he scene in the green and white palm garden was indescribably picturesque, a tropical interior, the arcade with It's interlacing of smilax and the tables brilliant with their groups of smartly-gowned women.
 The rose parlors. the Turkish room and the entire reception suite were thrown open. and a number of tables were placed In the private dining room decorations were of Easter lilies, and the score cards, painted by Miss Douglass, were done in exquisite flower designs. Each of the prizes was the work of this young artist who created the Douglass girl, the crea- ture of a thousand airs and graces.
 The first prize, a rose vase, hand-paint- ed in ehrysanthemums, was won by Mrs. Charles Samuel Simmons. The second prize, q rose vase, hand-painted in meteor roses. was won by Mrs. Harry Matthews. The lone hand prize, lemonade pitcher, painted in berries, was won by Mrs. Charles G. Brown. The consolation prize. picture, a head framed in mahogany, was won by Miss Luckie. The puneher's prize, panel picture, with full length figure. with oval gold frame, was won by Miss Milly Nabb.
 An elaborate luncheon was served the guests saying their goodbyes just in time for the late afternoon drive. The sou venir bon-bon boxes were ornamented with fluffy little chickens. and the details of the luncheon were typical of the Eas- ter season.
 Mrs. Copelands exquisite blonde beauty was suggestive of a French miniature in her lovely gown of white silk, deli- cately lowered in pink and blue, and trimmed with lace. Her bouquet was of pink roses.
 Those receiving were Mrs. Robert Newman, Mrs. Robert Baugh, Mrs. Lewis G. Woodson Mrs. Hubert Drennen, Mrs. Frank May, Mrs. J. Carey Thompson, Mrs. Barclay. Mrs. Arthur Smith, Mrs. Stone, Mrs. M.

return for tangible property is exactly
the same amount and the company adds
$l17,074 for franchises
Some days ago Mr.. Mcpherson, of Chi
cago, assistant general counsel of the
Pullman company, called upon Comp
troller General Wright and stated that
his company was anxious to comply
in every way with the law and to meet
all reasonable demands of the state. He
explained that his company had no char
ter in Georgia, had no franchises as the
term was generally understood. and en-
joyed no special privileges whatsoever;
but the company was willing 10 pay
taxes on more than its tangible property,
recognizing the right Of the state to levy
such tax
lie explained that the return for tangi-
BILE property was made on a mileage ba-
sis. Tho total tangible property OF the
company is ST., 499 .59L The company sends
it's cars over 169, $50 miles Of road, and in
Georgia they cover mileage Of 2,2S5
miles Georgias proportion Of the tangi-
BILE property return Is reckoned accord
ing to it's proportion of the total mileage.
Accommodating this return was a sue
cinct statement Of the attitude Of the
corporation. which is valuable and in
terpsting contribution to the literature
growing out of this franchise law.
Comptroller General Wright is highly
':Geased with the Pullman company's
return
ut does seem to me that when a corpo-
ration like the Pullman company, which
has no charter in tie state and enjoys
no special privileges Of any character, IS
willing 10 meet the requirements Of the
law 50 fairly 1t Is about time for some
Of the others to reconsider the attitude
they have assumed said the comptroller
general
1T seems to me-" he added that the
method followed by the officers Of this
company in computing the intangible
value OF the property can he safely fol
lowed IN other cases. It will, If followed,
bring some really substantial results
