Learn to Dance Early.
The children of Atlanta begin
dancing early, and aside from the
splendid physical culture received
from the practice, they soon excell
in grace and activity the children

summer attest by their popularity
the love that Atlantans have for
dancing.
Although the freak dances have
not’many adherents among Atlanta
devotees of the dance, the many
new and graceful dances which are
taught these days, furnish more
incentive to the practice of the art.
and give more opportunity to the
active, graceful child than did the
old-time training which included
the learning of ball room dances
only. At a recital given at the
close of the past season, bv pupils
of Miss Lillian Vi.da Moseley at
St gadlo's, six young Atlanta girls
executed a dozen or more intricate
and beautiful dances, to the admir
ation and wonder of a large au-
dience. These children, who were
members of an aesthetic dancing
class, were Misses Martha Boynton,
Harriet Askam, Louise L'Engle,
Idelia Andrews and latiira Lewis
Lahon,
Miss Moseley, who has spent the
summer studying new forms of.
dancing with Louis Chalif In New-
York, writes that some of the new
dances are extremely pretty and
graceful. The solo dances have
beautiful names and, if the steps
are as satisfying. Atlanta children
will be the embodiment of grace
in, "The Golden Butterfly,” 'The
Spirit of Spring," “Greek Cymbal
Dance," “Tulano” and “Gypsy
Camp." A new dance which will
be taught Atlanta children during
the coming season is called “Greek
Maidens Playing Ball," a name
which gives more than a hint of
what the dance is. “Poppies" sug
gests a charming ballet, and “Cha
conne" is a French duet of piquant
grace. -By the side of such dances
as these the "Bunny Hug," the
“Turkey Trot." and the like appear
in their true light. ~...

With Plans for
Weddings

“Something New’’ in Costumes.
Many of the early autumn brides

to the bride-to-be. A noted bride
In London of the past week was
Miss Viola Tree, daughter o# the
groat actor. Her costume was cer
tainly “something new," and, while
ft may not be generally adopted by
the autumn bride, the “something
new" idea will be followed accord
ing to the taste of the Individual
wearer. Miss Tree's unusual wed
ding toilet consisted of a gown
which was an exact copy of that
worn in one of the best of the por
traits of the Empress Marie Louise,
that haughty Austrian archduch
ess who married the great emper
or of the French. Miss Tree's gown
was of white satin, soft and lus
trous. severely plain, with only a
border of tiny orange blossoms
about the hem. A tucker of old
rose point lace was worn, as were
long mittens of the same lace. Tn
accordance with the picture, Miss
Tree yore flat sandals of white sat
in rfbbdn, bound to the ankles bv
silken ribbons. The wreath and
veil were consistent with the artis
tic character of the gown. Stiff
orange buds were mounted to form
an empire tiara, from which float
ed a veil Os yellow tinted old lace.
The bridesmaids were also parts
of the picture. They wore amber
colored satin gowns, half covered
by long gauze coats of yellow chif
fon. necklaces of large amber heads
and Breton headdresses of kilted
muslin with amber ribbons banding
them. Their prim bouquets of red,
pink and yellow roses Introduced a
new note.

It is the ambition of all brides to
look her best at the wedding cere
mony. and. secondly, to have some
distinction to the bridal toilet
whJch must conform in main to the
traditionary toilet. Several Atlan

planned charming toilets for the
wedding ceremony, and a glimpse
at the trousseau would go far to
ward satisfying the question of al!
maids and matrons: "What is to
be fashionable next season?"
Miss Dorothy Breltenbucher, one
of the Atlanta brides of the early
fall, has planned an al fresco wed
ding. -""s Breitenbucher and Mr.

bridal robes, as she is unusually
pretty. Among the attendants will
