SOCIETY.
THE FIRST COTILLION.
Many Debutante* Introduced at
Club's First Entertainment.
There is a glamor about the first
dancing party of the season, and a
peculiar charm, thait later entertain
ments, however delightful, must al
ways lack, and the cotillion last even
ing at the Guards' Hall, the Cotillion
Club’s first entertainment of the win
ter, opened the gavety of the year most
auspiciously. With a number of pret
ty debutantes and several visitors
among the dancers it was given partic
ular interest and charm.
Many very lovely gowns were worn.
Most of the debutantes were in white,
and with their bouquets and fluffy
girlish frocks made an attractive pic
ture.
Miss Anna Hunter wore a becoming
gown of soft white silk, corded and
tucked, and prettily ruffled with lace.
U'he skirt had a tucked plastron front,
outlined with a fall of lace, the lace
being extended around the skirt above
the deep tucked flounce. The square
lut bodice and short graceful sleeves
Were corded in the same fashion as the
skirt and garnitured with lace.
Miss Julia Hunter wore a charming
gown of white net over chiffon. The
bodice was cut round and edged with
Valenciennes lace, with two bias
stitched bands of white satin outlining
It from the shoulders to where it was
gathered at the waistline into a wide
white satin girdle. Over the short
gathered undersleeves, fell a drapery
Of net. inset with lace medallions. The
full gathered skirt had an old-fashion
ed ruche of net below the hips, and
lower, between two ruchings, a wide
hand of Valenciennes. Around the
bottom were two bias bands of white
satin, beneath which was gathered a
narrow ruching of the net.
Miss Ethel Gay. who is one of this
season’s debutantes in Atlanta, was
a very charming figure in a lovely
gown of white silk mousseline. The
corsage was almost covered with wide
beautiful laee. that fell over the full
sleeves and was draped down each
side of the bodice into the girdle of
Panne velvet. The skirt was plntucked
just across the front in panel width
snd yoke depth, a,band of lace being
let in at the front and at each side,
with two pieces of the deep luce inset,
end following to the edge of the skirt
each side of the panel. A knot of pink
ore bids at the shoulder gave a touch
of color most becoming to her blonde
beauty.
Miss Cecilia Woods was gowned In
■tvhite mesaline and lace, with much
pretty trimming of accordion pleating.
O'he skirt was tucked in sunburst
shape, and gracefully flounced. Ac
cordion pleatings fell over the sleeves
and bodice, a shoulder knot of maid
enhair ferns, giving a pretty touch to
the corsage.

yellow chiffon cloth, shading from
burnt orange to light yellow.

fie chine, the skirt shirred, and hav
ing a tucked yoke and panel, and gar

NEW HAIR ADORNMENTS.
There is a marked tendency now to

size carried out in ribbon. The new
est mode is to bunch several loops of
ribbon together to form a tail rosette,
which is placed upon the left of the
coiffure, far above the ear, but not quite
on the crown of the head. From this
depends a length of ribbon which is
threaded through the hair or merely
twisted across if, down to the right
ear. behind which there are ends com
pleted by fringe, which hang upon the
shoulders.

MEMBERS OFTRAINCREW
RELEASED ON BAIL
Another Arrest Made In Connection
With Alleged Kobbery.
Members of the transfer train crew
of the Atlantic Coast Line who were
arrested Monday by Special Agent G.
S. Godbold, were released from custody
yesterday on bond, with the exception
of the negro Rogers.
W. M. Fleming was arrested yester
day morning, but he, too, was released
on bail. Fleming’s arrest was not as
a principal to the larceny charged by
the road officials, but for receiving
goods. He voluntarily brought up what
goods had been turned over to him,
and made a straightforward statement
about them.
Those who were released yesterday
were Conductor R. H. Floyd, Engineer
Reed, Fireman C. C. Clemans, Car In
spector Owen Robinson, Flagman Wal
ter Fleming and Albert Rogers, a col
ored brakeman.
The road officials have not yet de
cided Just what charges will finally
be preferred against the men, but are
now investigating the alleged robberies.
It is alleged that goods which were
taken from cars on occasions previous
to the robbery on Nov. 18, for which
the men were arrested Monday, have
been found, but as yet have not been
positively Identified.
The men who were arrested man
the train known as the transfer train,
making three trips daily between Tel
fair and Central Junction. Two of
these trips are made in the day and
one at night. It is alleged that It was
on the' night trip of Nov. 18 that the
last robbery, consisting of a case of
Stetson hats, and other goads, was
committed. These goods, It is claimed,
were taken from a car In transit from
the Ocean Steamship Company wharf.
The contentions of the men arrested
are that they found the goods. The
cases will probably come up in the
City Court Friday.

MADAM BATES
AND BOBBY BURNS.
Editor Morning News: Apropos of
St. Andrew’s Day, I remember reading
many years ago of an incident in the
life of Burns, which I have never seen
since in print, nor have I ever met
one who had read it.
It seems that Burns, and a com
panion where traveling through a cer
tain part of Scotland, and stopped at
an inn to spend the night. The inn
was kept by one Mrs. Rates. The
old lady was exceedingly fond of flat
tery, and entertained a. rather exalted
opinion of her personal virtues. She
was ignorant of the names of her vis
itors, and it was just before bed time,
that someone informed her, that one
of the gentlemen, was the poet Burns.
She approached the poet, and with
earnest solicitation, asked that he
would give her "a stanza," before re
tiring. “What did you say your name
was?” asked Burns. "Bates, Mrs.
Bates,” she replied. Oh, well said
Burns how will this do?
"Old Mother Bates
Has reached at last at heaven's
gates.”
This tickled her vanity extremely.
Burns retired, and the old lady treasur
ed in her mind, the beautiful, "Stanza.”
In the morning, as Burns, and his com
panion were about to leave, she urged
him to finish the "Stanza.”
“What did I say last night?" asked
Burns.
With great delight she repeated the
lines:
"Old Mother Bates
Has reached at last at heaven's
gates."
"Oh, yes, said Burns. I will give you
the rest of it;
“But Peter met her with his club
And knocked her back to Beelze
bub."
The change in the old lady's man
ner is more easily, imagined, than de
scribed.

ALLLEGED STATEMENT
RAISES OBJECTION.
A. H. tleywaril Ist I'lnntlnic Hire oa
Ortnlii Plantations.
Mr. A. H. Heyward, the owner ot
the property concerning’ which there U
dispute between the individuals and
the government, ha* written to Col.
James B. Quinn regarding an alleged
statement of his to the effect that the
men were planting rice on the land
the government claimed, and on land
which the men had claimed had been
so badly damaged by the overflows
caused by river and harbor work, that
it was unfit for cultivation. Some of
Mr. Heyward’s lands are among those
in which there Is a dispute concerning
ownership.
Mr. Heyward states he is not rais
ing rice on the plantations In question,
aim uial the ulteged statement ot Col.
Quinn was unjust. He states further
that bands of negro boatmen and riv
ernien squat on the land, raise little
patches of rice, and make depredations
on the planters owning surrounding
lands. He hltnsclf has been a sufferer
as a result of these depredations, and
ha* lost soma very valuable machin
ery.
The report on the rice lands that was
issued by Col. Quinn, and which was
published in the Morning News, did
not charge that the planters were
planting rice on the lands alleged to
have been damaged. The only charge
made was that the planters still held
the lands, and that proceedings to oust
them would have to be begun by the
government if it wished to take pos
session of the lands. This was the
only statement regarding them made
by tho Bavonnah engineering officer,
and no where did he charge that rice
was being planted on the lands.
