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.

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.

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.
