THE WEEK IN SOCIETY.
Intereeting Day* Just Past, anil
Schedule of Coming Event*.
The much-talked-of prospect of a
gay winter is early being realized, the
first fortnight of the season having
been an unusually full one for socie
ty. Several large card parties. one
large dance, the first cotillion, the in
troduction of a number of debutantes,
the announcement of engagements,
and many informal parties, have pre
ceded the first of December and have
kept society people interested and
much occupied. Gayety seldom be
gins with such a rush and seldom so
early, and since Easter does not
come until April 23, the latest day
upon which it can fall, the signs seem
to augur an eventful season, even
with the probable lack of post-Len
tent entertainments.
The cotillion given by Mr. and Mrs.
James H. Hunter Thursday evening to
introduce Miss Julia Hunter made
last week notable, and was an elab
orate and very beautiful entertain
ment. The cotillion was led by Mr.
Harris G. Cope, with Hiss Hunter's
guest, Miss Ethel Gay of Atlanta, one
of this season's debutantes. Miss An
na Hunter and Miss Cecilia Woods,
also debutantes of the season, assist
ed in receiving. Another debutante
made her first appearance in society at
this dance. Miss Edith Thiot. Among
the visitors presents were Miss Hayes
of Philadelphia, Miss Duckworth of
Liverpool, Miss Moss of Boston, Miss
Seymour of Richmond, Capt. and Mrs.
G. B. Pritchard, Jr., and Count Ogen
zio.
Mr. Gordon Harrison led the first
cotillion of the Cotillion Club at the
Guards’ Hall Tuesday evening. The
entertainment was rather slimly at
tended, a very small number of girls
being present. The debutantes were
Miss Mary Comer. Miss Cecilia Woods,
Miss Julia Hunter. Miss Anna Hunter,
and Miss Nellie Haile, and the visit
ors, Miss Gay, Miss Seymour, Miss
Duckworth. Miss Brown of Louisville,
and Judge Speer. The chaperons pres
ent were Mrs. Dent, Mrs. Minis, Mrs.
Lawton, and Mrs. Wright Hunter.
Miss Margaret Charlton will be intro

BISIXESS MEETING AT WOMAN'S
CLI n.
A business meeting of the Woman's
Club was held yesterday morning at
the clubrooms. Miss Reid, the acting
president, presided. The attendance
was unusually large, and although the
morning was given up almost entirely
to the transaction of routine business
it was interesting and pleasant. There
was considerable enthusiasm over the
reports of the chairmen of the stand
ing committees and of the officers, all
showing the club to be in excellent
condition. The report of the treasurer
Mrs. John M. Bryan was especially
gratifying, as was that of the chair
man of the executive committee, Mrs.
T. M. Cunningham.
Avery important action of the meet
ing was the amending of an article
of the bylaws providing for the nomi
nation of officers from the floor. Un
der the amendment, which was carried
after some amicable discussion for and
against, officers will hereafter be nomi
nated by a nominating committee, to
be appointed by acting president, Miss
Reid.
A unanimous motion of regret at the
resignation of the president, Miss Mor
gan, and of sympathy for her con
tinued ill-health, was offered, and a
committee was appointed to draft reso
lutions to that effect.
The gift of a pretty fern was made
to the club by Mrs. Raymond M. Dem
ere.
The next business meeting will be
held early In January, when the an
nual election of officers will take place.
There will be a meeting of the Cur
rent Events Department Tuesday
week, and the current events commit
tee will meet at the clubrooms to-mor
row morning.
TO HOLD AN OPEN MEETING.
