Social life in Atlanta has come to
center largely around the four coun-
try clubs, which have made Atlanta

the PLEASURE fout-door sport.
The three eighteen hole golf courses,
second to none in the South Capital
City Country Club, Druid Hills, and
East Lakeland the sporty nine hole
course at Ansley Park-haye taken
important part in making the city the
winter resort it is for northern people
ard the summer resort it is growing to
be Off people farther south.
The formal entertainment season
began with the beautiful Harvest and
Halloween ball at the Piedmont Driy-
ing club-when the debutantes were
featured Misses Dorothy Arkwright,

A PERFECT DAY.

A PERFECT DAY.
When you come to the end of perfect
day,
And you sit alone with your thought
While the chimes ring out with carol
gay
For the joy that the day has brought
Do you think what the end of per-
feet day
Can mean to a tired heart
When the sun goes down with fam
ing ray
And the dear friends have to part?
~
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of journey, too;
But it elaves a thought that is big
and strong,
With wish that is kind and true;
For mem'ry has painted this perfect
day
: With colors that never fade.
And we find, at the end of a perfect
day,
The soul of a friend we've made.

work wiring the oak, not stringing the
tiny bulbs in the usual artificial fes-

they were partially hidden by clumps
Of leaves. Our active man of-all-work
fastened the gifts about the branches.
We did not use the old ornaments or
former Christmases, they seemed
tawdry and trifling against the i'm
mensity of the oak Instead the tree
bore actual fruit; oranges, punches o.
bananas, pineapples, cleaning yellow

bound to small stems: gay bags of
candy and nuts swinging in unsus-

swung in shadows. 1t seemed that the
