TENNEssEE's BLUE BOOK

Society in Tennessee is much inter-

about month ago. 1t supposedly covers
society throughout Tennessee, though 1t
confines itself to the four large cities
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and
Knoxville, with Murphreesboro as the
small town. In some particulars 1t may
be regarded as quite unique. For exam
pie, while the people credited to the
charmed circles in the large cities are

Chattanooga's, next in length.
A quaint point noted in coming Knox

husbands of these women stand meekly

on the other hand, shows list 200 strong

widows and widowers. and one or two
separated halves of one-time coupled in
dividuals, but oddly enough, no divorces.
Memphis and Nashville, like Knoxville,
apparently holds society sacred to the
ladies. Chattanooga, indeed, is the only
city in the state-according to the Blue
Book-where men are admitted to So

It is true that these dear crea- lures are all compassion for every form of human woe, and anxious to alleviate all forms of human misfortunes.
