UEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, APRTL
1911.
By POLLY PEACHTREE.
S AT what you will about the beau
ty of Atlanta women, and they
deserve it all, one cannot im
agine the past week’s gayities being
so entirely satisfactory and success
ful as they were, w'ithout the pres
ence of the many charming "stran
gers within the gates.” Not that they
were strangers, but the phrase
sounds familiar, somehow, and slips
glibly off the point of my-er-type-
wrlter.
The welcome accorded General and
Mrs. Mills was nearly as nice as they
deserve. All sorts of social compli
ments and attentions have been
showered upon them, and each even
ing of the opera, despite the numer
ing purpie and red for the evening,
Atlanta women seemed to prefer the
white, black and light shades for
their evening toilettes. Here and
there the eye caught a color in re
lief—American beauty, old blue, or
purple, but for the most part, the
color note was struck in the flowers
worn or carried, or in the flash of
jewels or mockstones which "garni-
tured” the costume.
As to the best gowned women in
these boxes, it is difficult to select a
dozen out of the several hundred,
who excelled in their charm or in
the richness or beauty of their toi-
letttes.
Among the many X noted Mrs. John
D. Little, a regal type of beauty,
whose Paris toilettes and beautiful
jewels always set oft her charm with
| superb effect. There was also Mrs.
1 John Marshall Slaton, graceful and
ous luncheon, tea and dinner en- j gracious, and perfectly gowned for
gagements with which the day was j each evening of the opera. My admi-
filled, Mrs. Mills has been a radiant, ration was accorded Mrs. J. Frank
smiling guest in a box, with her arms Meador, piquant and girlish looking,
full of American Beauty roses. Beau- wearing her lovely gowns with the
tifully costumed and extremely hand- I chic that Parisiennes claim as theirs
some was Mrs. Henry Wortham, of j alone. Down the row of boxes, my
Macon, in the box with her sister, wandering gaze was drawn by Mrs.
Mrs. John D. Little, on the closing Albert Thornton, Jr., a rose of a wo-
nights of the opera, and equally as man . and always gowned in palest
■harming, with a winsome and more pink or white which vied with her
fragile loveliness than her sister, was charming face in color symphony, or
Mrs Louis Stevens, of Macon, who Sarah Rawson, small, vivacious, pe-
was entertained Wednesday evening tite—the same words can apply to
and Thursday at the matinee by Mrs. Helen Payne, and both girls affect
Little. All of these sisters wear ex- ; the dainty, lacy, frock known as the
quisite Paris gowns and have won
derful Jewels to set off their hand
some toilettes.
Mrs. Z. C. Patten, of Chattanooga,
was a much admired visitor at the
opera the past week. Mrs. Patten is
a social leader in her city, and had
some exquisite costumes for the op
era. She was entertained at several
luncheons and other day affairs dur
“Billy Burke” gown. Mrs. Robert
Maddox, in exquisite toilettes, and
Mrs. James L. Dickey, Jr., slender
and blonde and distingue, were beau
ties much admired by myself and all
the others.
Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, in a gor
geous gown of cloth and point de
Venice made a charming picture at
the opera with an immense bouquet
ing her stay. Mrs. Louis Schley, of I of deep yellow roses in her arms;
Augusta, was a popular visitor en- ! and Mrs. Burton Smith, all in white,
tertained bv Mrs. Doughtv Manley, ' with a filmy scarf over her lovely
during the week. Mrs. Charles Phin- shoulders and a small wreath of dia-
izy was another Augusta visitor, j monds in her snow white hair, was
coming over the latter part of the a type of aristocratic beauty. Add

Of course lovely Mrs. Ben Gatins,
of New York, was the cynosure of

the Atlanta beaux, and she certainly , of this most unmusical work that
talked with her eyes and her daz- ,. Cyrano was the old boy that put the
zling smile, to one and all, impar-
tially and effectively. The only word
Bori was heard to utter without her
adorable, but confusing accent, was
“Goodbye,” which she said with a
tweet and lingering accent, as if she
desired to express with the one word
of plain English at her command,
her appreciation of all the homage
paid her, and her desire to come
again.
Several of the aforesaid beaux
have already purchased Spanish
grammars, and as Miss Bori, who is
only 24 and rather inexperienced, will
probably pick up more English as
the seasons go by, verbal communi
cation with thi9 fetching little sing
er may not be so difficult upon her
next visit. Bori is so young .and gay
and unaffected, everybody would for
get the opera singer, in the “sweet
little girl,” which she became after
she threw off the opera costumes and
donned a girlish frock of chiffon and
satin, like the other girls wore.
She was distinctly the personal hit
of the company of artists who spent
the week ihere. Madame Homer, I
dam in Damrosch.

L AST week I had th$ pleasure of
announcing the return of a former
Atlanta girl, Mrs. Malcolm Fleming,
with her husband, for permanent res
idence in Atlanta, from their former
home In Columbus. I can add to that
announcement a similar one this
week, and I hope to be able to con
tinue this series indefinitely. With
the return of Mr. and Mrs. John
Charles Wheatley, from Syracuse, N.
Y., society will welcome another pop
ular Atlanta girl. wjy> “married and
went away.”
Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley (Frances
Nunnally) have been living in Syra
cuse for some time, having gone there
from their wedding tour. They have
not visited here since their wedding,
either, and a most cordial welcome
has been accorded them this week.
The young couple will live with Mrs.
Wheatley’s parents, Mr. and Mrs
Nunnally, on Peachtree, for a while
They plan to build a home out Peach
tree’Way after a short time.
which has been taken up on the Con-!
tinent, and we have had flower-girls
and cushion bearers, where the
younger generation was called into
service, but a retinue of children in
classic garb is entirely new. The few
brides of the last of April and of
May will be married informally, but
the June bride, with an eye to artis
tic and novel effect in a bridal group,
might try the “kiddies.” Understand,
I do not vouch for the behavior of
a “retinue” of American children, but
I do know they would be charming
to look at—if they would “be good!”

«THE trouble with the 1913 model
* girl,” a motor-maniac complains
—“is that she is a run-about.” “Non
sense, the man has ‘wheels in his
head, 4 ” was the expressive, slangy
response of an Atlanta debutante to
this accusation. I will say for the
debutante that her defense is justi
fied by the records of her set, up to
the present time. But I wonder if
the man will not have proof of his
assertion now that the opera is over,
and things social are quieter than
usual. Most of the young women and
the older ones have spent the time
since Lent at home, and all the tours
and extended visits have been put off
until after the opera. But details
of visits and tours to the ends of the
earth (This is not to be taken liter
ally), form the one subject of con
versation now which rivals the future
brides and the new gowns.
The tide of travel is beginning to
turn toward Europe, though the lat
ter'part of May is the favored sea
son for departures to foreign lands.
I have heard that Miss Harriet Cal
houn is thinking of a summer in Eu
rope, though her plans are not defi
nitely settled yet. Mrs. R. C. Cong-
don and her daughter, Miss Mazie
Thurston, will go abroad soon to
spend the summer. Miss Emma Jor
don left this week, accompanied by
her father, for a European trip. Miss
Alma Stanley sailed this week to
spend the summer abroad. Mrs. Jos
eph Brown Whitehead has planned
a pleasant stay in England and
France, and Mrs. John D. Little pays
an annual summer visit to favored
French watering places, with trips to
Paris and London.
I'T* IS good to turn away a minute

“log”
To something with an int’rest in it—
Perchance, the Dog.
I’m tired of the fair and famous.
The rich, the wise, the skilled in
arts;
I like a change—(poor Ignoramus)
And DOGS have HEARTS.
I am reminded by the announce
ment this week from the Board of
Managers of the Home for Incurables
of the clearance of over a thousand
dollars for their charity by tlje re
cent Pure Food Show, that some
thing funny—in its revelation of hu
man nature—occurred at that exhi
bition. You remember, the ladies got
up several special features during the
week to lure those women who did not
care to inspect pure food or cook
ing—and there are some of that kind
in the city.
There was a baby show 7 , for one
thing, with some of the sweetest and
most charming children of Atlanta in
the exhibit—and there was also a dog
show, and upon the dog hangs my
tale. This canine exposition was no*
thought of till about Thursday or Fri
day—the latter day being the Baby
Show Day 7 .. So, some one called up
Mrs. John Hill, who is noted for her
success in everything she attempt?,
and appointed her manager of the
dog show 7 . Mrs. Hill went to work
at once and phoned to all of her
friends who had dogs for assistance.
The society editors announced the
affair, and when the dog show came
off there were three or four times
many people there to see the dogs as
were present to see the babies.
I am making no comment, but the
fact speaks for itself! The Home for
Incurables board, with worthy mod
esty 7 , announced that their success
was largely due to the newspapers
and the donators of flowers, flour, etc.;
as a matter of fact, it was their own
energy and enthusiasm that brought
success to their enterprise. The board
is composed of some of the most capa
ble and active women of the city, and
their various charity affairs are al
ways financially successful, because
they work to make them so. This
remark applies to many other chari
table organizations of Atlanta’s
wealthy and prominent women The
Kindergarten Association is a shining
example of what the women do In
the name of charity, and the Needle
work Guild is another.

Mrs Rhodes is patriotic and music
loving, and, of course, she planned
her tour to find her at home on April
20—just in time for the opera. She
has been a charming figure in the
opera audiences, and although she has
only worn black toilettes on account
of ‘mourning, they were always chic
and most becoming. Mr. Rhodes ac
companied his wife on the tour, and
Mrs. Walter Taylor was another pas

wives, on nights when they were not
singing, were many of the artists,

parties at the Capital City and Driv
ing Clubs were made most enjoyable
by the presence of the famous sing
ers. *\t the Georgian Terrace they
mingled with the guests in social in
tercourse and made many warm
friends among the Atlanta people.
Yes indeed, there is a “social side to
grand opera” here—a warm Southern
hospitable “social side,” which is of
equal pleasure to the opera stars, to ;
the Atlanta hosts and hostesses and Percy Wyndham, a new custom was
to the many visitors who come from inaugurated which Atlanta brides

such organic
pains that
sometimes I

me at all. Some
times I would
suffer for seven

Why don’t you try it? i
It’s merely trite to say the greatest lace bargains ot the
y ear — we shall not do anything so commonplace. Rather will we tell the
story briefly, and let you judge.
Lace importers and representatives are all at sea. Antici
pated tariff reductions make* them seek cover. To play safe, they’re trim
ming stocks to a minimum—closing out all surplus lots and broken lines.
Aware of this condition, our lace buyer sped to New York two weeks ago
and captured many choice lots. That is why you can choose to-morrow
from $1.50, $2.00, $1.00 and $3.50 laces and embroideries at just 98c. A
glance at the detail:
$2.50 Allover
Embroideries 98c
Imagine a snow-white flake-y
Swiss flouncing, 45 inches wide,

Venise and macrame lace bands—the two
most fashionable laces of the season for trim

Widths, 3 to 9 inches. Cream, white and ecru.
Not a yard worth less than $1.50; most of them
worth $2 to $3. Shown to-morrow for the first

Allover Laces 98c
Allover shadow laces now in
such great demand for the new net

The season’s lace novelty—Darn Thread

widths from 9 to 18 inches. In bands and edges,
some to match.

The Big Blue Pencil Pushes Prices
Downward on Stylish Suits and Dresses
The woman who has waited until now for her new
suit or silk dress naturally expects some reduction, so
here is word she need wait no longer.
For not even at the last of June can prices be much
lower than these, and it’s a certainty that these suits
and dresses will not be here in June—no, scarcely for
even another week. Many will march out to-morrow
at these blue-penciled prices:
Among the Nearly 200 Suits
you will find the season's favored styles and fabrics. Russian and

A Lavish Display of Charm
ing Lingerie Dresses
Dainty Lingerie dresses for the bright Spring days.
Some are Paris-born; others Paris-inspired—the productions
of the cleverest makers in America, people who regard their work
as a profession to be* proud of, and whose feeling for beauty of
fabric and line and color is unapproachable.
Crepes and voiles are the favored fabrics. A pleasing style
is a brocaded or flowered blouse with plain skirt. Long shoulders,
blouse styles, lace trimmings and crushed girdles' are features.
But in their fresh loveliness, these dresses leave description dumb.
Please see them. $17.75 to $39.50.
Linen Dresses Are Ready
Simple one-piece styles, some Balkan models, a few novelties.
Enough in all to till one entire section. Blue, rose. pink, natural,

line at $15.
Ratines Have Supplanted Linen
Suits in Favor, So We Show
almost ten ratine suits to every linen. The styles follow the woolen
suits—Bulgarian and Russian blouses and cutaway effects leading.
Ratine, however, lends itself to more artistic treatment than
woolens, hence find some suits with fancy belts and long silk
sashes or other odd features. White, rose, grav, tan and blue
$19.75 to $35.
