! CHAT. OF PEOPLE AND EVENTS.


The calu, f Holy Week has
rested upon u. Al 1 gu the calen-
Oar there has been no place for
the Worldly. Gaiety has remained
only as a memory or an anticipa-
lion-even the informal events
that have once in a while given
color to a season set apart for
quiet. have slipped from the or
dering OF the days, and left
naught Of outside glamour to
contrast with the religious sig
nifcance of the week. To-day,
with the dawn of the Easter-tide,
the outlook changes, and promise
of a number of pleasures is
kindled by plans that are already
definite and assured. From our
multitude of clubs comes the ex-
pected call for more active ways,
and answering this is the an
nOuncement of The Discards
who will be entertained by Miss
Marcie Billups on Thursday af-
ternoon, then into the following
week a fuller round is sketched
in the entertainments of the Tues
day Whist and the Wednesday
Whist Clubs. the Ahdeeks claim
ing their accustomed morning,
the Anonymous Club the after
noon of Saturday the ninth. So
though not yet fairly in the
midst of fields ripe for the social
harvester, we have at least with
in clear vision much to look for
ward to as the gift of Young
April.
An evidenceof the interest that
has been awakened in the 7. NJ
@. A. Convention to be held here
from the 9Th to the 18th instant,
was the enthusiastic gathering
at the Gilmer Tuesday afternoon
where a large company of ladies
assembled to confer as to the
character of the entertainment it
is their purpose to arrange in
honor of the visiting delegates.
Mr.. William Fl. Carter, who was
largely instrumental in having
Columbus selected as the place
of meeting, was present on this
occasion, and gave pleasing
little address, in which, together
with recollections Of former sue
cessful conventions elsewhere, he
told something of the splendid
work of the Association, its OBJ
ject, its scope and its future.
After discussion. a reception was
decided upon as the most salts
factory courtesy to be extended,
and in its perfect arrangements
will doubtless hold a delightful
evening. The Chairman, Mrs.
@. II. Mathis. requests that all
who have signified their willing
ness to assist in this reception,
will meet at the Gilmer to-
morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock to
receive the reports of the various
and complete the
necessary details.
The dull routine of school days
was not permitted to assert its
usual sway at the [. l. and {.
last week; instead Thursday and
were devoted to the joys
Of an extra holiday away from
books and college duties. On
Thursday the members of the
Bach Society, chaperoned by
Miss Poindexter and Miss Link,
IF the music department, en-
ioyed a picnic in the woods, and
returned at twilight, filing the
lir with the favorite songs Of the
9lee Club. Friday brought adj
litional opportunity for merry
making to many of the girls who
we're the guests Of Miss Power
or the day. Yesterday afternoon |
he Callaway Orr Literary Socie-
y made the Chapel the scene Of
"A Trip to Fairyland, :" which
vorthily bore its title, and
welled the funds for the Annual
o be issued IN June.
Miss Pencil entertained the
Reading Circle at her studio in
he Industrial Hall at the last
aagazine afternoon, and was a
