BY DOLLY DALRYSIPLE

since she had reduced her daily life to stryohnine tonics, headache wafers and a few pink tablets I believe she did have some breakfast foods along, and some sort of patent instep arches, which she said the shoe clerk said she had needed for years. Her visit was really very free from fads (for her), and we were getting on famously when one day she came home from an art exhibit and told the most marvellous story. She had met Mrs. Blank, an eminent biologist, and this kind lady had told her how she was going to make her live 100 years, and be happy ever aftervard, Peggy was wild-eyed and garrulous. She didn't care for any dinner; she wanted only some nuts. She could find them about the house some where, and l needn't bother-which I didn't. She explained that the lady biolo- gist had said that nuts were the natural food for man; medicines, she said, were ruinous to the stomach and strychnine above all was the deadliest thing she could take, and to think she must have taken quarts of it. Headache waters, the lady biologist put her ban upon, and she said medicines besides wrecking one's consti- tuition. would absolutely destroy ones mind if she persisted in taking them.'
 Instead of drugs, the lady biologist said sip of hot water every 15 minutes would help immensely, and with the nuts would rejuvenate her powerfully"
 "The rest of Peggy's visit" continued the woman who was telling the story, 4.t- intervals of 15 minutes and munching nuts. which she declared were delicious We had lovely time of it-Peggy es- pecially with brand new fad-and when the morning came for her to leave, and we had said our fond farewells, she de- parted, but no sooner had she left, it seener to me, that phone message came from the Union station saving she had left the box of nuts and please to tell her the name of them. The name was on the outside of the box, but she had forgotten to look at 1t, and she couldn't get any more nuts like those until she knew. I hustled about the house trying to find the wonderful nuts that were so full of nourishment, but nowhere could the box be found. l flew back to the phone and told her I'd write her by the next mail the name, and then proceeded to make thorough research of every crack and corner in my house.
 Lily Belle," I said, calling to my coal black cook, find that box with the nuts in It that Miss Peggy had while she was here'
 Lilly Belle couldn't remember ever hay ing seen box with nuts in it, and I was really very unhappy over the coincidence, until all at once I looked in the writ ing desk and there was the much desired box, and what do you suppose I dIscov- ered?"
 Haven't an idea,' I replied
 Peggy hadn't been eating nuts at all" was the surprising answer, but she had eevoured pound of my best Brazilian morning glory seeds''

THE SOCIAL CALENDAR
By MYRTLE MILES

Tn a reference to the two surprise wed- dings which have taken place recently in New York, a society journal published in New York has a bright story of MT. Frank Damrosch, Jr., which will be read with interest here, thus:
 For quiet weddings, far away from the elaborate ceremony and attendant fes- tivities enjoyed by loving friends Eng land and Switzerland and qaint places in France are now recommended. But Miss Gertrude Emily Gaynor and MT. w. Seward Webb, Jr., followed another plan. They had a recent example in the we'd ding of Miss Dorothy Sheffield Frisby and MT. Frank Damrosch, Jr., who without benefit of guests or relatives were married on Friday May 12, at the Church of St. 1 Edward the Martyr in New York, the
 Rev. Percival Pyle officiating MT. Dam-
 rosch, unlike the men of his family, aims to reach peoples hearts by taking place
 in the pulpit instead of with baton in hand before the directors music-racll- by means of oratory rather than music.
 He is a student at the General Theological seminary. but like other young men who have become benedlcts before ordination
 must now complete his course at another school. He is a son of MT. Frank Dam rosch, grandson of pr. Leopold Dam rosch and a nephew of MT. Walter J.
 Damrosch, who married daughter of James G. Blaine. The great Leopold Dam- rosch was obliged to study medicine; he obtained a diploma from the University of Berlin, and on account of parental ob-
 lection could give only his leisure to his violin, so, perhaps all Damroschs meet with good fortune when they follow their own inclinations regardless of opposition
 Miss Frlsby is a bright young college girl, still a sophomore at Vassar She is a daughter of Mrs. Augustus Ladd Frisby of New Haven. Parental blessings and all good wishes followed when news of
 the wedding transpired. The only diff ference between surprise weddings and those of elaborate and painful prepara- ton Is in the number of gifts. Perhaps where the bride might get four clocks and five gold mesh purses she receives but one or two."

 the guests chamber, which she was oc- cupying, and it nearly broke my heart. When she left me after that visit, she left a trail of bottles that would have done credit to an apothecary shop. In the bath room I found a bottle of some sort of strychnlne tonic on the bureau she had left half-emptied box of headache waf- CTS; in the writing desk she left box of powders marked: Take one every four hours until relieved
 Besides these there were innumerable pink boxes and green ones, from druggists in Atlanta and Montgomery and other places she had recently visited, and pre- scriptions from Dr. This and pr. That, and heaven knows whoi'
 How can you like such a visitor?" I interjected.
 "Peggy's darling for all that was the loyal reply. When she got to my house for that visit I asked hef the first evening at dinner if she still took those strenuous Turkish baths. She had told me that she firmly believed that they would reiu- venate centenarian, and besides no other form of bathing could remove the grime and dirt as that could"
 "Well-er-you see, she began. 1T couldn't get the sort of Turkish bath in the little town I live in that I wanted. and so a crowd of us got together and decided to order one of those vapor baths. guaranteed to be as effective as the Turk ish bath. When it came we installed it and tried it first. I got locked up In the cabinet and couldn't get out, and then the alcohol stove exploded, and it was awful so I stopped"
 "I hope you didn't bring any of those pine needles and oat-stray baths that you were so enthusiastic about the last time l saw you" I suggested. "The plumber charged me $5 to unstop the bath tub after you left; said 1t was filled up with ex- celsior, but knew, of course it was just plain pine needles"
 Don't you hope on this visit that Peggy is not following any new-fangled religion or isn't under the wing of some queer body of ethical culturists?" I re- marked.
 Indeed do," said the woman who was to be Peggy hostess. "She thought she was particularly exempt on the last visit,

Peggy is sort of habit with me- a friend of mine said the other day, "and when I feel that I must have somebody to visit me, write for her. She is joy to me- and is so funny, and when write her note to come to me she promptly responds by postal card, say ing what train she will arrive on and ask ing me how long want her to stay"
 "A nice. considerate sort of visitor" I remarked.
 "I never commit myself about the length of her visit however," the woman said, ''until I see what fads she is pursuing, what foods she Is eating and the latest method of ventilation she will want to introduce into my humble establishment The last time she visited me she was com pletely obsessed by the fresh air theory and one night 1t poured down rain and blew in all over by new Turkish rug in

MRS. PASCHAL SHOCKS INFORMAL TEA

The tendency toward simplicity and in- formality of entertaining grows more pro- nounced as the heated term advances. These characteristics make the afternoon parties of summer truly delightful oc- easions, and those which the hostess, who feels none of the burdens of a formal function, enjoys as completely as her guests.
 Mrs. Paschal Shocks little tea vester- day was an affair of this kind. Twelve friends were bidden to meet her mother s guest, Mrs. Thomas Jones of Newman, Ga, over glass of iced tea. The service of a refreshing drink and ices, with the introduction of charming visitor, made tie occasion an altogether pleasing finale for a hot day.
 Those whom Mrs. Shook included in this pleasure were Mrs. Thomas Jones

TEXAS AND GEORGIA
SUFFER FROM COLD
Fruit Trees Were in Bloom anc
Considerable Damage to the
Crops the Consequence

CHICAGO, March 21.-The fruit
and vegetable crops are very far adj
vanced for this season in the south,
even as far north as the Ohio river.
While the trees are not in bud or
bloom in the more northern states, in
a good many of the trees the sap is
beginning to run and buds beginning
to swell. The latter part of February
Texas and Georgia both were visited
by a cold snap for three days, the
thermometer reaching as low as % in
some sections. The trees were in
bloom and considerable damage was
caused.
From the best information we have
been able to secure we believe Texas
so far promises about sixty per cent
of crop of peaches and Georgia
about eighty. There is no increase in
acreage in either of these states, but
to the contrary there has been grad
ual decrease, and this percentage of a
crop does not mean as much fruit as
the same percentage few years ago
While the fruit from these states does
not move at a time that would con.
fiict with shipments from the west and
northwest, still they all have an in
fluence on later fruit markets
