THE SOCIAL CALENDAR
By MYRTLE MILES

At their pretty home in Glen Iris, Mrs. R. M. Gooda1l entertained a party of friends yesterday at luncheon in comrli- ment to Mrs. Pleasant stovall Shellman of Atlanta and Mrs. Mary King of Mont gomery From her gardens the hostess had brought wealth of roses to make the interior of her home harmonious with the springtime lovliness of the green-shaded park In which she lives. From vases and baskets and bowls in every nook nodded roses of varying tint and delicious fragrance. On the lunch con table was a floral motive richly ef- fected in pink roses and honeysucKies' the latter pending in a graceful shower from the chandelier.
 The guests were chosen from among Mrs. Goodalls neighbors. This fact was cleyerly employed in one of the features of the hospitality. Mrs Goodall provided her small blank books decorated with roses, and in which were to be edited items of Glen Iris society, afterward read between courses. Some clever quips were the result of this idea, the originality and zest with which the plan was followed putting the blush to the usual ''real' col unn of this sort.
 Those included in the luncheon party were Mrs. Goodall, Mrs. Shellman, Mrs. King, Mrs. Robert Jemison. Mrs. Anne vanHoose, Mrs George Morrow, Mrs. B. F. Tyler, Mrs. Harvey LeSourd, Mrs. J. T. Harwell, Mrs. Yancey, Mrs. G. M Lovejoy, Mrs. George Yancey, Mrs. J. M. Gillespie, Mrs F. M. Robinson. Mrs. H. B. Shelton, Mrs. Stephen Smith, Miss Lyle, Miss Afford and Miss Kate Hop kins

URGE REMISSION
 OF THE SUGAR TAX

London, May 12.-Representatives of those who are, urging upon the govern ment the remission of the sugar tax had an interview with David Lloyd today and asked him to abolish this provision for revenue from the forthcoming budget
 The chancellor was sympathetic, saying that he agreed that the sugar duty was oppressive to the poor and interferred with valuable industry. It was most de- sirable that it should be remitted if he could extract the same amount of taxes from somebody else. However, as it was, he could not afford to surrender a tax that was bringing in s15,O00, GOO.
