Pryor St to Equitable Bldg. TWO CHARMING VISITORS TO ATLANTA Mia SARAH STACKS! Miss They are the guests of Miss Julia Dodd. WOMAN DESCRIBES FAMOUS WRECK OF AEON Very few young women anywhere in the world have as thrilling 8 story of shipwreck to tell of their own experience as Mrs. William K. Riddle has related to her friends during her present brief visit with her father, Mr.

J. J. Russell, on North avenue. She is here with her husband, Lieutenant Riddle, United States navy, and their little daughter, Mary Elizabeth, and it is their first return since the Aeon, which was bound from San Francisco to New Zealand, with Mrs. Riddle one of its few passengers, was wrecked on Christmas island in July, 1908.

Indeed, it is the first visit here of the little daughter, who was born eighteen months ago on the Island of Samoa. The whole civilized world was told that the vessel was missing, and ships of many countries were on the lookout for the ill -fated boat which stranded its passengers and crew for ten weeks on one of the most desolate falands in the Pacific. Christmas Island. on "Many Christmas island descriptions give I it the have credit read for of growth of palm trees," said Mrs. Riddle, "but the writers evidently never had been there.

You can see for yourself in this little kodak picture, poor as it is, what our camp and its surroundings were like, and this spot was typical of the islandtreeless, and so rocky that I wore out two pairs of shoes in the two months and a half we 'summered' there, and lad good service out of the thick leather soles 'Chaplain Parker then sewed on the heavier pair. "Here they are, my most valued souvenirs. Yes, it was, indeed, strange trade for a chaplain to ply, but necessity proved the mother of invention in the case of all of us. "I had with me only a steamer most of my. possessions having been sent on the government transport on which my husband salled, and when the need arose of a new dress, I made one out of ordinary 'blue which was part fthe Aeon's cargo.

Mrs. Parker cut the pattern- she is very ingenious in many ways- and I did all the sewing with my fingers, of course, and you can imagine the task it WaS, running 8 needle and coarse flax thread through that heavy material. My swollen third finger showed the effects long afterwards." Mrs. Riddle had the dress, too, among her "curios," and it was quite smart, with the gray side of the material used 88 a trimming. "I salled on the Aeon from San Francisco July 6, 1908," said Mrs.

Riddle, "my husband having left for Tutulla, the United States naval station at Samoa, a week before; and we expected to meet there, the government ship stopping over at Honolulu and the Aeon making the trip direct in eighteen days. The night my husband sailed from San Francisco we ran upon the coral reefs. "It had been so cloudy. and stormy for a day and night, that neither sun nor stars could guide our course, and we did not know our whereabouts when the crash came. It was 9:30 at night, and I had just reached up to turn out my light, and then the Chinese steward came to warn me.

He merely said: 'Are you dressed? And when told him he answered, 'Well, you'd and went on without further information to collect the silver and other valuables, in case they could be saved. He was very calm, but all the crew were Chinamen, and in the excitement they secured pistols and ran about brandishing them. Order was restored, the lifeboats were manned, and we waited all night with life preservers around us, ready to take to the open sea if the ship could not stand the constant crashing against the reefs." Mrs. Riddle continued thus her rative in graphic style, but simply as 11 her experience were not extraordinary. She never spoke of suffering or suspense until at the last she was asked about it, and her mention of the inconveniences which must have been many, were either humorous or philosophic, no that the whole tone of her story suggested that the desolation of the island and the horror of the situation must at least have been eased by that great lightener of many kinds of burdens woman's bravery.

Lite of the Shipwrecked. "There were only a few passengers on the Aeon," Mrs. Riddle explained. "Chaplain and Mrs. Parker, their two children, and a trained nurse, myself and several young men, and We lived In tents on- the Island.

-We had, of course, stores from the ship which! were part of the cargo to New Zealand, and the lack of "hot dishes" and of water, was the principal drawback. For water we drank the liquor from Wesson SNOWDRIFT OIL For Salads and Cooking TRY IT on a salad finest dressing to be found, digested, An absolutely pure product, easily nourishing and healthful.

I sewed a little, polished up my Spanish and my French, and read everything on board the ship, but even then the time hung very heavy. "Oh, no, I never despaired, because I knew, of course, that my husband would never rest until he found us. Here is a map of the twenty islands be visited in his search on the government ship," and she showed a copy of the record of the Annapolis. "He went to the cannibal islands Arst," she said, laughingly, "and had just returned to Suva, in the Fiji. group, when the wireless reached there that we had been found.

It was. in the nick of time, as the Annapolis was to renew the search at once. "Captain Downie. of the Aeon, made two attempts before he Was successful in reaching Fanning Island, the Pacific cable station. He had to go, of course, in an open boat, and the distance and the perils were great.

"It was a royal mall ship that rescued us. Like all the other English vessels, and every ship plying the Pacific, this big liner had been ordered to lookout for us, and they happened to touch at Fanning Island the day Captain Downie reached there. "They treated us beautifully, seeming never to think they could do enough for us, and the rest of our trip was, of course, most auspicious. The most dramatic incident of the wreck and of Christmas Island, however, happened the day before we left there, when Mrs. Parker's baby was born." Life In Samos.

Almost 88 interesting as the story of Christmas Island is Mrs. Riddle's narrative of Tutulla, although vastly different. She declares that Tutulla is to her mind more beautiful than Newport, which is conceded to be one of most beautiful coast resorts in the world. Samos is mountainous. and the naval 1 station town faces a beautiful bay with a crescent of mountains behind it so rich in their vegetation that the natives need only pluck the fruit and foodstuffs to obtain all they need to five on.

Taro, their standard food, which resembles our potato, needs little more than to be planted, and yet the United States government has had to make it a law that taro be planted once a year, the characteristic lastness of the natives preventing them from taking even this precaution against possible famine. "There are eighteen families in the navy colony there. and they have charming little homes and a delightful social life. The temperature never goes below 60 degrees or above 85, and so in that respect, too, the place is quite attractive. native feast given by the greatest and richest of the chiefs of Samoa can was one of the most interesting teatures of our residence.

Hundreds of hogs and chlekens, with fruits and vegetables in equally huge quantities, were prepared, and the guests. who numbered one thousand or more, were treated royally. The occasion brated the completion of the barracks for the 'Ata-fita composed of the sons of the Samoan chiefs and commissioned by Uncle Sam to police the islands. A magnificent looking body of men they are, few of them under six feet tall, and splendidly proportioned." Lieutenant and Mrs. Riddle visited many of the various groups of islands in the Pacific while their residence was at Tutuila, and only recently they made the home of eleven thou: sand miles, their travels having been 50 long and their changes of boats and trains 80 numerous that the little daughter waking in the night would cry, "Where, mother, where?"

Evolution of Summer Home; People talk great deal about thesimple life and the little bungalows they have for summer homes, but suburban Atlanta is building up at present In country homes that are growing to the degree of luxury and style which will bring the southern gentleman back to the country life of ante-bellum days. A drive out any of the Atlanta roads affords an opportunity to see the galow and garden growing into the Dalatrial home completely equipped; the sloping lawns, formal gardens in the rear, while the grounds about the home of one of these suburban homes is to have its private driveways. Shrubs, flowers and foliage are being gathered from the gardens of professional collectors, and even those newer homes in still forested quietude charm the eye in architecture and artistic interiors; the tables show the prettiest silver and china and there is all the luxury which belongs to the spacious country home.

While the entertaining some people may call it simple, but the "suburban neighbors" grow in the gardens all the market affords; the home closet does not seem of simple proportions and nobody need feel called upon to take anything in the way of nourishment with them when they go to the suburban homes around Atlanta to lead the simple life over "week-end."
