Buffet Found Ideal
For Summer

After an afternoon of bridge

This salad may be the main dish

is to be the center of the buffet

the melons adds zeSty tang.

This is natural. we say, not only be-
cause Of Gov. Roosevelt's close and
happy relations with Georgia, but also
by virtue Of his deep and growing i'm
press on the common country's mind.
His interest in this State extends far
beyond his home at Warm Springs,
where he has founded one of Americas
most effective philanthropies and where
he spends as much time as his public
duties will allow. He is, besides, a
keen student Of Georgia agriculture, in
which he holds no inconsiderable stake:
and from his pen has come the most
discerning article. published in a ma
tional magazine, that We have ever read
on the traditions and character of the
Georgian people-an article in which
he shows that our State, with all the
history OF one of the Is parent colonies,
still has all the opportunity of an eco
nomic frontier. But what of his ma
tional prestige?
The fact that he Is Governor of New
York. twice elected by the largest ma
jority ever given a candidate for that
office, tells much; and the fact that his
administration, though beset by a sea
OF difficulties. has been eminently sue
cessful, tells more. His work at that
trying and responsible post Is of the
same quality that marked his services
as Assistant Secretary of the Navy
under Woodrow Wilson during the
critical days of the World War. A
work it is that commands nation wide
respect and proclaims him man of
ideas and of leadership in a time when
leadership and ideas are sadly infre-
quent.

Tenants for Fifty.four Years.

FItty-four years ago George r. Bishop
and his wife moved into a new apart
ment house on East 18th street, New
York City. On Tuesday last he died
in that same apartment at the age Of
ninety, having lived there continuously
for the entire period of more than half
century. This is probably record
in New York and elsewhere. 1t is to be
doubted II there is another instance in
this country of continuous apartment
tenancy of half century and more.
When Mr.. Bishop and his wife took
their seven-room apartment on East
18th street in 1877, the Civil War
had been ended only dozen years.
The country was then in emergence
from a severe and protracted bust
ness depression. The Centennial Ex-
position had just been held, and there
were signs of new era of mechanical
developments. The telephone had lately

Perhaps that is the trouble with this
