Distinctive Social
Season on for
Hot Months
'T'IIAT Atlanta has all the
•*• eharms of a resort and
more accounts for the fact
that hundreds of the most
prominent people of the city
spend the greater part of the
summer at home. Short trips
and stays of a week or a
month at various resorts,
break the monotony of the
season with some people, while
many others elect to remain at
home until the fall, when trips
to New York and abroad are
favored.
Informal Parties For
Visitors at Homes.
The presence of so many mem
bers of the fashionable colony at
all times insures the pleasure and
Interest of social life. While par

filled with interesting personalties
and news. To the records of the
summer trips and visits may be
added the informal parties for vis
itors, of which there is always an
Interesting number in the city. For
larger events there are the week
end dances at the country clubs,
attended by over a hundred guests
at each club, on Saturday even
ings.
This week has been unusually
full of parties, several attractive
visitors being entertained exten
sively. Miss Eunice Jackson, of
Nashville, has been the center of
social life among the members of
the younger set. since her arrival
Monday to visit Mrs. Robert Mad

The parties for Mrs. Charles A.
Dana, of New York, and for Mrs.
