Robert F. Maddox, vice president
of the American National Bank, is
not only one of the very best bank
ers in the South, but he is veritable
Gibson model of a well dressed man.
He was wearing a very stylish suit
Of brown yesterday, and with 1t a
vivid red necktie. A man who saw
him pass on whitehall street asked a
friend. why do men wear red neck
ties?" Just then along came Clark
Howell, of The Constitution, wearing
q red necktie and an ample white vest,
or waistcoat, to be exact. Brother
Howell always reminds me of a man
with good capon lined" And while
| you are thinking about red neekties.
will someone kindly tell me why it
is that Luther Rosser, our eminent
and brilliant legal lumihary is some
times seen without any necktie at all2
Dr. w. W. Memminger, pastor of
All Saints Episcopal Church, has the
best -modulated voice or any man in
| this community. To hear him read
the lessons in the pulpit on Sunday
morning is rare religious treat.
1t is good news for all, young and
| old, that the afternoon teas that made
the Georgian Terrace Hotel popular a
couple Of winters ago are to return
to favor. These teas were a great
gathering place for young and pretty
girls, and every man who had elected
himself by a majority of one to the
position Of Man About Town dropped
into the Terrace and gave the girls
| what Tad calls the ''once over" and
also, of course, to sup a cup of tea.
Everybody will enjoy these teas. Even
Polly Peachtfee tells me she will be
there.
Manager Dutton, of the Piedmont,
has not succeeded in ending the GUS
tom of finger bowls at his hotel. To
be sure, no finger bowls are placed
on the dining tables. But yesterday
at luncheon | saw three men at differ
ent tables dip their napkins into their
goblets of water and use the wet
ma pkins in place of the finger bowl.
Two good men are already talked
about as Mayoralty candidates-For-
rest Adair and w. p. Andrews.
And don't forget Jim Woodward
the Mayor said in talking to a friend
day about the situation. That
makes three"
Does Woodward intend to run
again?
Ever see Reuben Arnold play golf?
His long shots are not as good as the
long shots Of Travis, but with the
putting iron he can run down a 30
foot putt.
| have been reading over some of
the suggestions for dinners on Geor-
gia Products Day. November IS. They
fairly make my mouth water. And If
we can get that sort OF food one day
in the year, why can't we occasionally
have some OF the good things this
State produces every other day in the
year?
Manager A. R. Keen, OF the Geor-
gian Terrace Hotel, d real CASTRO
nomic expert, says one of the best
dishes he knows OF Is the heart of a
young bullock stuffed with the sort of
dressing mother used TO make, with
plenty of seasoning and onions II
doesn't sound good to me. 1t might
make a good meal for a hungry hobo,
but know OF SO many things that
are better to eat than a bullock's
heart that ! am not going TO be
tempted even by Manager Keen. Id
rather try haggis.
"Charie Northen was fifty odd
years of age THURSDAY" remarked
one of his friends in the Ansley lobby
to day, and he was kept busy get
ting the glad and congratulatory hand
from most everybody
1.-The odd years are the few he
hasn't been secretary of the Georgia
Senate From that circumstance II
should be relatively easy to f1gure
the gentleman's age--that IS IL any
body cares to, for man is only as old
as he feels, in amy event.
Atco-stands for good,
