Coming up from behind and winning
by main hitting seems to be the spec
ialty these days. A three or four-run
lead Is nothing to those Nationals, who
come in the next inning and hammer
the life out Of the ball. There is not
a player on the team with the excep-
tion OF one or two of the pitchers who
has not been doing all that could be

raised large holler when the kid was

time to inform the newspapers in long
letters that the passing of Elberfield
was a shame. The kid has lots of ball
left in him and should do we'll in the

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-12

Hence he males a much more interesting
husband, and married life in European high
society is much more worthy and serious
aftalr than in American fashionable society.
Strange to say, it is Miss DrexePs state of
mind on this subject that has decided her
parents to live abroad. They are going to live
In either France or England until Miss Alice
changes her view point or marries. Therefore
their beautiful Newport estate is to be rented
for term of years, and their New York man
sion, one of the handsomest in the upper
Fifth avenue section, will be placed on the
market. Before settling on permanent home
in Europe the Drexels will make trip around
the world, taking their two sons with them.
Miss Drexel has very decided ideas on the
limitations placed on the American society
girl, and she Is eXcellently qualified to con-
trast the merits of the American girl and her
foreign prototype. She was educated entirely
in Europe, and until she was eighteen her
friends were all girls belonging to the old
nobility of France and England Her vaca-
lions were spent at wonderful chateaus In
France or at great country houses in England.
She did not spend one Summer in Newport
with her parents, and came in contact with

no American girls of her own class except her
up in the same way.
During these important formative years she
lived, therefore, as the girls OF these foreign
families lived. She saw her friends trained to
care for great estates, to care for their ten
antry, to manage large forces of servants and,
as they grew older. to take an interest in
public affairs
After eight years of this life Miss Drexel
was brought home and given the usual com
ing out" of the girl Of her class. Her parents
spent, perhaps, two hundred thousand dollars
on her first season, and her wealthy relatives.

much more to make her debut a brilliant one.

They were delivered at luncheon given in
honor of a Newport girl whose engagement
was recently announced and were brought
forth by the sad fact that so few marriages
were occurring among the girls VINO nave
come ont within the last five years. For this
tragic state of affairs Miss Drexel blames the
American parent not the girl.
Marriages need not be made In heaven, she
said but they should be made on earth.
"The continental marriage idea Is the right
one The French girls who were at the con
vent with me have all married as their
parents wished and they certainly seem to be
happier than the young wives in the Newport

She had balls given for her in Philadelphia
as well as in wv York Then she had Lon
den visit, when she was entertained by her
aunt, the handsome Mrs. Tony Drexel Every
thing was done to make this young heiress
happy and cOntented with her lot.
Mr.. Drexel is a multi-millionaire and mem
Der of the Morgan firm. Mr.. Morgan sent the
lucky debutante pearl necklace as a coming
out gift. Mrs. Drexel one of the leaders OF
the New York-Newport set, is noted hostess,
and she did everything possible to provide
pleasures for her daughter. 1t would seem as
though the heart of any girl would be satisfied
But no, Miss Drexel finds that this life OF
dancing, dining, motoring and entertaining
generally is "noaccount" existence
'"The average American girl of wealth and
social position is useless person." says this
discontinued young woman. She has no recog-
nized place In the world. She has no respon-
sibilities, no rules, no traditions to guide her;
in fact, she has no social background. In
England and on the Continent the conditions
are entirely different. There a girl of family
has specified social duties to perform, and she
knows how to perform them. | do not mean
calls and entertaining, but duties connected
with the family estates and fortune Over

- - public 1t Is the view of Miss Alice
Drexel, daughter of those multimillionaire
members of fashionable society, Mr.. and Mrs.
John r. Drexel.
Miss Drexel thinks that European marriages
are preferable to American because they lead
to a more serious, useful, unostentatious,
Woodworking life.
This Is rather a shock. We have heard a
good deal about the failure of marriages be-
tween American heiresses and foreign noble
men on account OF the idle and worthless char
acter of the latter. There have been many
facts that prove there are such failures.
But 1t seems there is something on the
other side Of the matter-Miss DrexePs side.
Our opinion of foreign noblemen Is often
formed by comparing the worst specimens of
them with the ordinary, Woodworking Ameri-
can.
Miss Drexel's point. however is that the
rich and fashionable American man COM
pares badly with the European man who
occupies a similar social position. Incident
ally, these defects are shared by the fash
ionable Americans fashionable wife.
The American man OF this type who Is not
in business does nothing but go to the club,
drink drinks and wear clothes and talk horses
and sports The European man Of correspond
ing position has an estate and looks after its
management occupies some public position
and is Interested in politics and public affairs

THE schoolgirl of
France and England
may be diffident and
gauche, but she knows
her place in the world
is well defined, that 1t
was made for her per
haps two hundred
years before she was
born. Her family has
been identified with an
estate, or a county, or
the Government for
many generations. This
condition gives her a
poise, a power that the
American society girl
lacks so often.
IN this country, the
girl who is to inherit q
large fortune seldom
knows anything about
her future possessions,
she has no tenantry to
look after, no parish
duties to perform such
as the poorest lady OF
the Manor will have
in England or France.
It is this lack of per-
sonal interest in her
estate and In the well
fare of the people who
work on 1t that char
acterizes the usual

Miss Drexel not only
censures this butterfly

she has very emphatic
opinions on the sub
ject of matrimony.

Annual Public Meeting of Lit
erary Societies.

The annual public meeting of tht
Pierian Literary society which wa
held in the auditorium Of the s. G.
c. 1. Wednesday evening last, wal
altogether the most creditable Of
its kind that has been held at this
institution in many years. A most
interesting and instructive program
was creditably rendered to large
and attentive audience.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. ]. R. Walker. The
first number on the program was
reading selection by E. S. Dun
bar. This was "a humorous selection
in which was described the effects
of music upon an appreciative hear
er. This number was decidedly the
hit" of the program.
The second number was a decla-
nation, taken from Thos. Dixon's
Leopard Spots," by L. NJ. Smith.
This young gentleman acquitted
himself most creditably, and held
the undivided attention of the au-
dience by delivery that would
have reflected credit upon a more
experienced orator.
The audience was favored with
two instrumental solos rendered by
Miss Thelma Bailey and Miss Sal
lie Mae Miller. By their artistic
rendition of difficult classic compo-
sitions, these young ladies displayed
unusual talent and showed most
careful training.
The query in the debate of the
evening was, resolved: THAT any
further annexation would be detri-
mental to the United States" The
affirmative was represented by L.
S. Cox and G.. H. Burriss while G.
V. Huiett and A. E. Burns defend
ed the negative side of the question.
The speeches of these young men
showed depth of thought and a
careful preparation. Their manner
of presentation was especially at
tractive and called forth favorable
comments from all sides.
As the Judges were preparing
their decision, the audience was en-
tertained by the chorus class which
rendered a medley of American
National airs. The twelve young
ladies composing this class rendered
this difficult selection in an artistic
manner that called forth favorable
comments upon themselves and re-
feeted much credit upon their di-
rection.
The announcement of the decis-
ion of the judges was made by the
chairman, Mr.. Orlando Sheppard.
Mr.. Sheppard took occasion to
speak in the highest terms of praise
of the exercises and stated that 1T
was indeed difficult for the judges
to come to a decision. However,
they had finally decided in favor of
the negative.
This..meeting has been pronounced
by many as being the most credita-
