self if you'll drop in at the battered
old building which once housed the
Capital City club and find an empty
chair. The Habersham chapter, Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, is
conducting daily luncheons there, and
the array of mattresses who have vol
unteered for service would make the
best beauty chorus which ever left
Broadway look like the annual picnic OF
the old ladies' home. Believe one who
