Summer Cotillion
Club New Social
Organization
The Summer Cotillion club is a new
social organization which will be a
source of much informal pleasure dur
ing the warm season. The club has
been formed for the purpose of giving
a series of dinner-dances during the
summer months. The membership
consists chiefly of the dancing contin
gent of the Piedmont Driving and the
Brookhaven Country clubs.
Arrangements have been made to
give these dances at the Brookhaven
club, the first of the series to be an
event of Thursday, June 27. Dinner
will be served promptly at 8 o’clock,
and the club management asks that ta
ble reservations be made as early as
possible, not later than Tuesday, June
25. There will be no membership dues,
the expenses of each dance being
borne by those enjoying it.
As the summer colony is always
large and interesting, though varying
as to personality with the going and
coming incident to summer trips, these
dances are sure to be popular and
largely attended.
With the Saturday night dinner
dances at the Driving club and at East
Lake, and the Summer Cotillion club
events during the mid-weeks, there will
be no dearth of social diversion for the

NEW YORK, June 19.—“ Back to the
farm, young woman."
The enthusiastic exponent of this ad
vice is Mrs. Felix Williams, of Shreve
port. La., who registered at the Holland
house on her way to the Thousand islands.
Mrs. Williams is one of the best-known
society women of the South and has
been prominent in horse show exhibits.
She is a sister of Mrs. Benton McMillan,
wife of the well-known 'Tennessee con
gressman and ex-governor of that state,
who has recently announced his candi
dacy for the governorship on the Demo
cratic ticket.
"Yes. I am an ardent advocate of farm
life for women," said Mrs. Williams. “I
talk it before clubs, schools, and wherever
i have an opportunity. It is the best life
I know of for women.
"It is certain,” she continued, “tha;
present industrial and educational condi
tions will eventually force women into it,
whether they accept the idea graciously
or not.
Women Crowding All Industries.
“Women, both skilled and unskilled
workers, are becoming more numerous
applicants every year in all branches of
industry and the professions. Until re
cently the old life of the South remained
undisturbed by the quite universal cry
of woman for a career—for some work
that would more fully develop her indi
viduality. This is all changed now, aqd
women of all classes are following the ex
ample of industrial and professional ac

"Women are flooding the labor market

to them this must necessarily be so. 1

tion, because of numerous young women
who are constantly seeking my advice.”

could be induced to take up farming. It
will bring them greater returns in health,

Superfluous Hair
J)x3Riraefe
Removes It Quickly With Certainty
and Absolute Safety.
This perfected method for removing superfluous hair is the clean
liest and most convenient to use. It is decidedly the surest, safest,
quickest and most inexpensive depilatory known. It'is acknowledged
the world over by eminent authorities as the only absolutely non-pbi
sonous preparation that dissolves hair, thereby taking the vitality out
of it. consequently retarding and preventing an increased growth.
Remember, real danger and disfigurement lurk in the use of so
called superfluous hair “cures.” The real harm does not always mani
fest itself with the first few applications, but the . injury is plainly
noticeable after frequent and continued use. Furthermore, after each
removal, the hair grows out again more rapidly, coarser and stiffer
than before, and eventually it will become so coarse that no prepara
tion will be strong enough to remove it without ruining the skin.
No stronger argument can be advanced that DeMiracle is the only
satisfactory and reliable superfluous hair remover ever offered the pub
lic than the fact that it has Stood the test of time. It was the largest
selling depilatory ten years ago. and more of it has been sold each year
since than the combined sales of the nostrums. The mere fact that
fake-dangerous preparations are short-lived should alone be sufficient
warning to avoid the use of any depilatory but that of proven merit.
Don't be deceived or deluded by alluring and impossible claims of
impostors. Tell any one of them that DeMiracle Chemical Company
will forfeit Five Thousand Dollars if it can be proven that their so
called superfluous hair “cures" ever eradicated one single growth of
superfluous hair.
All reliable dealers sell and recommend DeMiracle, knowing it to
be the best and safest depilatory. Some unprincipled ones will tell you
they can not procure it so that they may more easily influence you to
purchase their own or possibly some other dangerous, worthless sub
stitute under another label for a few cents more profit. To protect you
from just such impositions, if your dealer will not supply you, mall us
SI.OO and we will send you, all Charges paid, in plain, sealed wrapper,
a SI.OO bottle of DeMiracle, and we will make, you a present of a full
size jar of DeMiracle Cream. If you care to, give us the name of the
dealer who tries to sell you a “just as good” imitation or substitute.
Remember, DeMiraele is the only depilatory that has even been In
dorsed by reputable physicians, -surgeons, dermatologists, medical jour
nals. prominent magazines and newspapers. And, mind you, every one is
genuine; if they were not, we would be compelled by law to discon
tinue publishing th*-in.
Write for free booklet, which win be mailed, sealed in plain en
velope. DeMiracle Chemical Company. Dept. 16. Pirk Ave , 129th and

argument in Atlanta from Chamberlln-Johnson-Dußose Co.

business holds the idea that some day,
when she meets the right man, she will
marry. This thought is a dominant ele

Breeds Spirit of Equality.
“That women are not marrying so read
ily today is true of the South as the
North,” continued Mrs. Williams. “Many
young women I know earning $1,200 a
year, told me they can not respect a man
earning the same salary sufficiently to
marry him. In farm life men and women
can work together in a spirit of harmo

"After inheriting my plantation of 1.600
acres at my father’s death, I rented it to
be relieved of the responsibility. That is
the reason most women today are rest
less and make slow progress; they are
afraid to assume responsibility

assume the management of the cotton
fields and the 200 negro employees. Since
then my health has returned I have ex
