Tea Room Postcard #19 -- The Frances Virginia Tea Room (Atlanta, Ga.)

Atlanta's Frances Virginia Tea Room had closed by the time I was born, but I almost feel like I know the tea room anyway because I've heard so many wonderful stories about it. Through the years I happened to become friends with a niece of one of the tea room's partners, and in my area, lots of sweet memories of "The Frances Virginia" get shared among the ladies-who-lunch set. Several years ago I wrote about a luncheon where memories of this tea room were shared.

This Frances Virginia postcard was mailed to Mrs. Winnie B. Carroll of Beaumont, Texas in 1940 and reads, "Sunday - Enjoyed your letter. I'll write you in a few days from Anniston. We are dashing about getting our X.Y.Z.'s together, so we can get away early this afternoon. I wrote a letter to all of you the other day - write us at Anniston, Love (A.V.S. or A.O.L. or something like that!). Question: I've heard of dotting your i's and crossing your t's, and I've heard of minding your p's and q's, but I've never heard of getting your X.Y.Z.'s together. Have you?
