SOCIAL DOINGS.

On Thursday evening, Feb. 22nd,
Mr.. and Mrs. I. s. Boggess gave a
beautiful dinner at their country home
in honor of the Dinner club. No more
beautifully gowned ladies' have been
assembled on any recent occasion in
Macon and in the warmth and glow of
the house with its shaded candles and
decorations of red, white and blue, the
effect was indeed lovely. In the center
of the table was a cherry pie from
which extended ribbons to each plate
on which was tied a small hatchet and
at the close of the dinner great fun
was enjoyed when these ribbons were
pulled, each guest drawing appropri-
ate tavors. After dinner several de-
lightful games of AZ were played and
Mr.. c. D. Featherston was the lucky
winner.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. T. George celebrated
the fourth anniversary of their mar
riage, Monday evening, March 9th, by
entertaining the dinner club. On the
arrival of each guest, they registered
in the wedding book. Spring time
flowers were used to decorate a most
beautiful and artistic table. In the
center was miniature lake, in which
was reflected jonquils and ferns, and
shaded candles. After several delight
ful flames were played, prizes were
awarded to Mrs. 7. S. Boggess and j.
E. Boggess.
Mrs. K. M. Murphey was hostess of
the Forty Two Club on Thursday after
noon, opening her home to a number of
invited guests, besides the regular
members of the club. Ten tables of
players whom practice has made per-
feet in this art, progressed through
nine games, after which delicious and
dainty prepared refreshments, consist
ing of salad and ice course were SER
we'd. More than forty guests were the
recipients of Mrs. Murphey's hospitality
on this occasion.

Rose or not, but sne'd like to hear
someone call her that, and wouldn't
1 begin?"
Jimmy explained there hadn't been
any chance to talk much. 1.-THE cos.
tunes began coming up on the stage
just then Con chorus girls, of course),
and she was up over the runway in a
minute, talking them over with Gal
braith. When she'd finished, she came
down to me again for minute, but it
was hardly longer than that really.
She said she wished she might see me
again, but that she couldn't ask me
to come to the studio, because it was
perfect bedlam, and that there was
no use asking me to come to her apart
ment, because she was never there
herself these days, except for about
seven hours night of the hardest
kind Of sleep. If could stay around
till her rush was over 90. But then,
of course, she knew couldn't"
"And you never thought of asking
her." Violet walled, "where the apart
ment was, SO that the rest Of us, ii
we were in New York, could look her
up, or write to her from here?"
"No," Jimmy said. II never thought
of asking for her address. But it's the
easiest thing in the world to get. Call
up Rodney. He knows"
"What makes you think he knows?''
Violet demanded.
swell, for one thing" said Jimmy,
"when Rose was asking for news of
oil OF you, she said: i hear from Rod
ney regularly. Only he doesn't tell
me much gossip"
"Hears from him." gasped Violet.
"Regularly" She was staring at jim
my in dazed sort Of way. swell,
does she write to him? Has she made
1t up with him? Is she coming back r.
II suppose you can just hear me
asking her all those questions? Casu-
ally, in the aisle Of a theater, while
she was getting ready for a running
jump into a taxi?"
The color came up into Violet's face
again. There was maddening sort of
jubilant POPULARITY about these men,
the looks and almost winks they ex-
changed, the distinctly saucy quality
of the things they said to her.
"Of course" she said coolly, eff Rose
had told me that she heard from Rod
ney regularly, although he didn't send
her much of the gossip, shouldn't
have had to ask her those questions.
I'd have known from the way she
looked and the way her voice sounded

CHAPTER XIII.

Rodney Gets a Clear View Of Himself.
It was Rose herself who began this
correspondence with Rodney, within a
month of her arrival in New York.
If Rodney had done an unthinkable
thing; If he had kept copies of his let
tiers to Rose, along with her answers,
in a chronological file. he would have
made the discovery that the stiffness
of those letters had gradually worn
away and that they were now a good
deal more than mere pro forma bulle-
tins. There had crept into them, 10
subtly and 20 gently that between one
of them and the next no striking diff
ference was to be observed, q friend.
