Cases More for Khaki Than
Silk. More for Bathing Suit
Than Bail Gown.
A pretty girl in a. gray tailored suit
ran out of the Aragon hotel, slipped
under the steering wheel of a green au
tomobile with a young man inside it
and was off toward East Lake in a
hurry.
“There goes the Eleanor Sears of
Atlanta." said another young man. who
was left behind and looked as though
he was sorry. - "She swims, rides, drives
a motor, runs a motorcycle, plays bas
ket ball and lives outdoors. If she
doesn't ride to hounds, it’s because
there's no hunt club in Atlanta, nor
any foxes."
The girl was Thelma Harrell, tvhose
father. «R. Frank Harrell, Is manager
of the Aragon. Miss Harrell lives in a
hotel, but she is far from being a. sit
a round-the-parlor girl. She's a tailor
made, divided-skirt. leather-leggins
kind of girl, who cares more for khaki
than silk, likes a bathing suit much
better than a dancing frock and says
she had rather sw'im than play bridge.
"Oh, swimming." said Miss Harrell,
when she was asked what she liked
most of all sports. “I had a dip at East
Lake this morning. Yes, it was cold.
This is my laM day. and I'm so sorry.
Down at our summer home at St.
Georges Island we swim much later
than this. But that's salt water, you
know,
“No, I'm not a horseback fiend. I
used to love to ride, but since I’ve
grown used to motoring 1 don't care
for horses. They seem slow, you
know. No, 1 haven't a ear of my own.
But 1 have so many good friends with
motors that I really wouldn't have any
use for a car of my own.
"(if real games, basket ball is my
favorite. I played on the Hanna school
teain last year, you know It was lots
of fun. <>f course, I like tennis. I'm
just learning to ride a motorcycle and
