Society Season
To Be Delayed
Until Late
Autumn
THE personal columns of the
social record begin to show the
return of many members of
the fashionable world from the sea
shore and the mountains. As yet.
however, the exodus exceeds the
incoming people, and for several
weeks to come this will be true.
The mountains of North Caro
lina. the East coast resorts and
New York are favorite places for
the early fall visits of Atlanta tour
ists. The season does not open for
Atlanta society until about the
middle of October, when the pre
nuptial parties for the autumn bride
commence.
Along in November the debu
tantes begin to shine forth, and one
of the earliest of the large affairs is
the Nine o’Clock German which is
usually an event of Thanksgiving
week. It is there the debutantes
make their first appearance at a
"brilliant affair,” other than their
debut parties which may or may not
have preceded the “Nine o’clock.”
lounger Set Has All
The Fun at This Time.
At this time of the year the
younger set has all the fun going,
so far as parties are concerned.
This week has been almost exclu
sively devoted to the very young
set, the members of the school girl
and school boy contingent.
The exceptions to these affairs
have been Mrs. John Marshall Sla
ton's beautiful luncheon for Mrs.
Waller Hammond, of Thomasville;
Mrs. Harvey Anderson's tea at the
Driving club for Miss Lucy Ander
son. of Thomasville, and the affairs
for the Ansley house party.
. One of the notably pretty func
tions in honor of members of the
younger set was Mrs. Arnold
Broyles' luncheon at the Brookha
ven club, given for Miss Cora Mc-
Cord Brown and her house party
guests
A bevy of visiting girls in this
set have been the occasion for so
much social activity. Among the
many popular visitors here for
whom affairs of the week have been
given are Miss Marian Hodgson, of
Athens-, the guest of Miss Laura
Cowles; Miss Helen Johnson, of
Chattanooga, the guest of Miss
Adrienne Battey; Miss Laura Lacy,

summer home at Clayton, has been

the informal parties of the week.

Many Beauties of
World-Fame
Are Known
H ere
IN the brilliant social records of
the capitals of the world—
London, Paris, New York and
Newport—several charming women
who have the warm interest of
Atlanta friends, figure conspicu
ously.
One of the most beautiful Amer
ican women in London society this
year is Mrs. James B. Duke, a for
mer Atlantan. Mrs. Duke has cre
ated a furor of admiration and
popularity for herself in the exclu
sive circles of the aristocratic Eng
lish society. She and Mr. Duke
return to New York early in Sep
tember, and will be at their mag
nificent country place for the au
tumn season. They often enter
tain Atlanta friends there, and Mrs.
Hugh Willett, of this city, is to be a
guest of Mrs. Duke in September at
"Duke’s Farms.”
The lovely Baroness Rosenkrantz.
who expects to spend a, part of the
early autumn in Newport, is also
a former Atlanta woman and has
many friends warmly interested in
her delightful social successes. The
baroness lias been the toast of Hot
Springs, Va.. this year, where she
and her husband have spent most
of the season, paying a short visit
in July to Atlanta. They are now
on a motoring tour in the East, and
go to Newport soon.
Duchess and Her Sister
Attended College Near Atlanta.
The Duchess du Chatlines and her
pretty sister, Miss Marguerite
Shonts, are well known here. They'
attended Agnes Scott college for a
while and made many friendships
which have endured during the
years of their flattering social ca
reer. Miss Loulie Roper, a pretty
Atlanta girl, Is now their guest and
is being extensively entertained In
Newport.
Miss Mary Duke Is another
young woman, famous in interna
tional society, who has the special
interest of Atlanta friends. Miss
Duke, reputed the wealthiest young
girl in the country in her own
right, and recently in the limeiigh'
because of her refusal of a proud
title and nobleman's hand, was
much entertained here, a few sea
sons ago, as the guest of Miss Mary-
Thomas, who has since become
Mrs. Pratt Adams of Savannah,
Ost.
The eagerly expected titled vis
itor to Newport, the Duchess of
Roxburgh, through h er mother’s
family is closely related to many
well-known Georgians. One of her
bridesmaids at the brilliant wed
ding a few years ago, when she
became the bride of one of England's
wealthy dukes, wa,s a Georgia cous
in. Miss Martha Johnston, of Ma
con at the time, but since be
come herself a charming New York
and Newport young matron, Mrs.
DeLancey Kountze.
Pretty Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, as
a sister of a former Atlanta soci
ety beauty, is identified to a degree
with these famous society women
of special interest here.
Atlantans Are Preparing
For Trips to Europe.
Among the Atlantans leaving soon
for Europe are Mr. and Mrs. John
D. Little, who go abroad every year
for the latter part of the summer

In France and will visit Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Felder in Paris. Mrs.
Little’s sisters, Mrs. Henry Wor
tham, of Macon, and Mrs. Asheton
Starke, of Richmond, are also

Mr. Thomas B. Felder sailed this
week to join his wife, who is abroad

Caro Sharpe—are now touring
northern Italy, and will remain
abroad some time. Miss Sharpe

ber.
Most of the Atlantans taking the
tour abroad remain until the latter
part of September or early Octo
