Page 2 THE BED AND BLACK COTILLION. The German Club gave one of Its most enjoyable dances on Friday evening. There were not so many stags that the breaking was monot onous, yet all the young ladies had a grand rush. The new society ball-room dances were in vogue and there .were many different demonstrations of the Cas tle Walk, Fish Walk, Hesitation Waltz, Tango, Dutchess, New York and London One-step, and several other beautiful dances. President Gunn led the Grand March with Miss Callie Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, and later, Mr. Allen Mc Donald led an attractive figure for Chi Phi with Miss Josephine Wilkins. Among the many lady dancers present were: Miss Julia Brand, Miss Rebecca Stewart, Miss Josephine Wilkins, Miss Gwendolyn Griffith, Miss Callie Lumpkin, Miss Callie Hoke Smith, Miss Jennie Arnold, Miss Caroline Baynes, Miss Kather ine Morton, Miss Louise Dorsey, Miss Margaret Campbell, Miss Helen Lacy, Miss Isabelle Thomas and Miss Ross. The chaperones .were Prof, and Mrs. T. H. McHatton, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. James Camak, Mr. and Mrs. Hugo Guer- inni, Mrs. Fred Morton, Mrs. Ed. Lumpkin, Mrs. Sam Tribble, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Porter, Mrs. Phil Campbell and Mrs. John Morris. There were several of Athens’ younger business men present, and everyone seemed to have a pleasant time. The chief attraction was the new dances, and with Haughey’s orchestra, the cotillion was a great success. The Tech Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity entertained at a large dance Friday evening at their chapter house on Linden street. Miss Caroline Briggs, who is a student at Lucy Cobb, has gone to her home in Valdosta, where she was called by the critical illness of her father, Mr. M. A. Briggs. The Pi Kappa Alpha Chapter at Tech will entertain at a house dance on October 24. The dance will be given in compliment to several mem bers of the football teams, and to out-of-town visitors attending the Virginia-Georgia football game. Miss Moseley is to reopen her dancing classes in Atlanta this fall at Segadlos. Miss Moseley has brought from New York the very newest steps in the fashionable ball-room dances, in cluding Maurice’s Brazillian Maxize, the hesitation waltz, the tango, one- step, and many beautiful new classi cal, descriptive and national dances. During the past week, many beau tiful entertainments have been given by the Propylean and Mnemosynean literary societies of Agnes Scott for the new girls. On Friday evening the Propylean gave an entertainment at the college, and on Saturday after noon the Mnemosynean gave a tea at the Ansley Hotel in Atlanta. The Mnemosynean also gave a “Prom.’ at the college on Tuesday evening. One of the pleasant events of the past week among the Atlanta college set was a dancing party given by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at their chapter house on Williams street. Miss Lydia Griffith missed her train so couldn’t bring guests over to the cotillion Friday evening, but she will be on hand with two other Brenau girls for the next dance. Miss Michael is to entertain the Normal School faculty on the eve ning of October 4. Those invited to help Miss Michael in receiving are: Mrs. Ex-Chancellor Mell, Mrs. Ex- Chancellor Hill, President and Mrs. Pound, Chancellor and Mrs. Barrow, and Miss Mildred Rutherford. Bob Ingram and Guy Morgan went over to Atlanta Friday in Bob’s “Cole 30.” It’s a dandy racer, and believe me, Bob’s a popular man. Miss Mary Murphey, a popular Commencement visitor and also a popular Lucy Cobb girl, is to attend Washington College, at the Capitol, this winter. Sigma Alpha Epsilon gave a most delightful house dance Saturday eve ning at the chapter house on Pulaski street. The occasion was in the na ture of a house warming, and was the initial one of a series of dances to be given by the fraternities dur ing the fall and winter. The following invitation has been received, which should be of interest to many ,who remember John Cox, the third-base star in 1910: Mr. Percy Cook Ratliff requests the honour of your presence at the marriage of his daughter Mary to Mr. John B. Cox on Wednesday evening, October the fifteenth, nineteen hundred and thirteen at half after eight o’clock. Twenty-six hundred, Madison Ave. Birmingham, Alabama. Misses Louise Parker and Louise King are to be at Washington Col lege this year. Miss Parker was over for Commencement and gave a big house party for several Georgia boys and Commencement girls dur ing the summer, at her beautiful summer home up in the mountains near Clayton, Ga. The Phi Mu Alumnae Association met Friday afternoon at the Univer sity Club in Atlanta. Miss Callie Hoke Smith spent the week-end with Miss Callie Lumpkin. She was at the cotillion Friday eve ning and always has a fine time in Athens. Invitations have been issued to the marriage of Miss Rubie Winter to Mr. Hugh Carlton Towns, to take place on October 14, at the First Methodist church in Winterville. Hugh Conklin, the hard-tackling, All-Southern end, of last year, is back in the game. He is in the pink of condition and is expected to spill any interference coming around his side this year. The Normal School has five num bers in its lyceum course this year. The Chicago Glee Club, Rhiriheld- affer, Gaily Co., the Four Bostonians (musical), The Brush Co., and the Dunaway Concert Co. These are all highly recommended and many of the fellows are expected to take ad vantage of this course. Last year’s numbers were attended by a car load of students, the load getting larger at each following number. The handsome new home of the Waycross Country Club was form ally opened Wednesday with a large reception and dance. The club house occupies a commanding site just east of Waycross, and close to the Satilla river. Carl Thompson, the star Universi ty and Atlanta hurler, was in town last week. They tell us that “Big” Tommy is to substitute marriage for baseball. We don’t know how it works, but the best luck to him. “Dr.” Potts, the oldest employee in the University, is not expected to live. Students have known and lik ed Dr. Potts for many years, and several have gone around to see our old janitor, and have cheered him lip. He is certainly deserving a visit from every student and nothing causes him more pleasure than a Georgian’s respect. Dick Goodwyn, a member of last year’s graduating class in Civil En gineering, is employed with the Uni ted States Surveying corps at Bruns wick. The many friends of Mr. Raiford Wood are glad to see him out of the hospital and in good physical condi tion after his case of diptheria. Mr. Robin Adair came over from Atlanta in his Stevens roadster for the A. P. C. game on Saturday. Bob is for Tech, but he saw enough, Sat urday to know that if Tech is to make a showing against Georgia this fall, she will have to learn some more Heisman. The Sigma Chi fraternity will en tertain at an informal house dance on Friday evening before the North Carolina game in Athens. There will be several visitors over for the game and preparations are being made for a jolly good time at their chapter* house on Hancock avenue. Mr. Searcy Slack spent the week end in LaGrange. Mrs. Artie Small, of Macon, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Barnett, on Milledge avenue. Bob Raiford was in Athens last week. D. A. Russell was in Athens last week. He is practising law in At lanta and seems to be making it pay for he’s still sporting the latest clothes and a ruddy complexion. Marvin Perry is teahcing at Ath ens High School this year.
