LOICDON, May 10.—The conttnued
lltnes* of the Earl of Faversham pre
sage?* an early succession to the title
of his beautiful daughter-in-law, VI*-
countess Helmesley, who will be a
great ornament to the peerage. Lady
H-elmesley !s.a daughter of the Coun
tess of Warwick, whose star of pop
ularity has been waning, hut tin
slender young woman Is vastly ai'
mired.
Lady Helmeasley has developed non.
of the eierions socialistic tcndenci.
of her famous mother and seem? con
tent fo enjoy the privileges of fash-
ftvnable life without its intellectual In
terruptions In faot. Lady Helmesley
tries to prevent her mother from es-
perlments, such as her American leo-
turtng tour, and Is a great comfort
during her parents’ retirement from
the world of fashion.
Cochrane Belles.
One well may wonder how the Earl
of EiundonaM pays for dance slippers
for his much Invited daughters. Ladles
Margery and Cochrane, who are belles
of the present season.
On Monday night the two girls
"Aid” three dances and their average
for the season will be well over two
hundred dances.
Ladies Margery and Jean accept In
vitations freely and frequently flit
to several dances on the sn.m« night,
usmalty ending alt the Rltz Hotel.
Being popular, these Scotch girls
are accompanied by a retinue of
young dancing men on their nightly
tour of the smart Iamdon ball rooms.
An engagement of note announced
ttila week is that of Miss Catherine
Boacawen, the beautiful (laughter of
Lady Margaret Boacawen. who Is to
be married soon to Lord Petrie.
One of the most charming brides
qf the forthcoming season tvlll be
Prances Seovilla, a beautiful Amer
ican girl, who is to be marri-d June
3 at St. Ceorges. Hanover Squure, to
Walter Mumm, of the family of cham
pagne fame.
Mite Scovifle met Mr. Mumm whtlo
spending a holiday at ftt. Moritz. It
was a case of love at first sight.
Love at First Sight, %
"Vou see he seems to love the things
that I love,” she said tu-nlght to a
representative of The Sunday Amer
ican. "He Is a great outdoor sports
man besides being an enthusiastic
aviator and balU>onift and Is fond of
skating Like myself he enjoys mo
toring. We were a gre^t deal to
gether at St Moritz and the result
was before we left w# had become
engaged.
“Our wedding will be a quiet one
as I requested There will be nc
bridesmaids and only Immediate rel
atives will be Invited. We will re
side In France mostly, dividing our
time betwen the beautiful town house
Mr. Mumm has purchased In Paris
and our country seat on the outskirts
of the city."
Miss Scoville Is a great sportswom
an—she Is the only woman who ever
has gone down the Crests run at St.
Moritz. She is a native of Kansas
City* Mo., although she has spent
the 'last few years In England with
her slBter, Mrs. Louis Treadwell.
New NecR-wear
Tfie Tanaora
No woman can afford this spring
to overlook the displays of new' neck
wear. Indeed, no woman will want
to overlook them. But what Is us
ually considered somewhat of an ex
travagance is nothing less than econ
omy this year. The woman of limited
wardrobe is the very one who can af
ford to indulge in. for her perhaps, an
unprecedented neckwear orgy. The
merest tyro at needlework can, with
the aid of the new collars, frills,
stocks. Jabots, and guimitos, trans
form her *old waists into perfectly
presentable and decidedly becoming
features of her wardrobe.
An old, worn, transparent yoke and
collar must go by the board, to oe
sure, but It will be literally good rid
dance to what has become bad rub
bish. If the yoke wus a shallow one
1t can be supplanted entirely by ono
of the wide, flat collars to which are
attached the long plisse ends. Waist
which continue to the neck may be
shorn of their collars, and have
transparent lace stock, with a plisse
Jabot in place. Any woman of ordi
nary sense can effect these changes.
The latest fnshionable profile
the Tanagra figure, the costume for
achieving this outline being thus de
scribed: Brocaded soft silk, with
crepe, canton or satin background., is
being used to drape the figure with
perfect disregard as to style finest
Such a gown Is portrayed here, mak
ing the wearer look like a Tanagra
figurine vested with life. Black bro
caded silk in one of the new weaves
flowered with a large but indistinct
pattern is apparently laid over the
figure and fitted by the few soft folds
into which the material drops, fitting
to the contour of the figure. A slash
makes walking possible, and the up
per part falls into the fines of the
new girdle of disproportionate size
that is appearing on many new Paris
models. A bolero of black chiffon is
fitted in deeply laid folds, with curved
outline accented by round dull black
buttons. Transparent sleeves of the
chiffon draned into a bishop shaped
cuff veil tne arms, and the neck,
slightly decollete, reveals a touch of
white.

Popularity of Outdoor Recreation Attested To

Bast Lake Is wide awake to pic
nics and out-door times these days.
Everybody has Just naturally caught
the Spring-time spirit, even down
to uncle and the baby. Games and
things are on at full swing, and the
woods and Adds around the Country
Club are decorated from morning to
night with folks and children, girls
and boys, and everybody else. It’s
a regular summer resort.
Father has already begun to play
golf in a resurrected seersucker of
last summer a trifle tight. But In
the joyous* enthusiasm of it all the
looks of it, as usual, aren’t worry
ing him any. That's h!« wife’s sor
row.
This isn’t referring in any manner
to the golfers who may be seen prac
tically every day on the links and
who are coming out in great style this
year. George W. Adair is still wear
ing the title of champion In score
and love of the game, with Col. Ed
Brown running him a close second.
It ha«* been whispered around that
the Colonel” has said that he can
beat Marvin R. McCladchey all hol
low when It comes to playing, but
that isn’t on authority.
Other Enthusiasts.
Dowdell Brown, who is just as- good
at tennis as he is at golf. Winter
Alfriend, Milton Dargan and S. Y.
Tupper are also going in for the
sport, as well as W. P Gentry, who
intends to move out where he’ll be
in close proximity to the fields about
the first of June or a lit tele later,
lie s building a brand spanking new
house about a quarter of a mile away
from the club.
Some of the golfers who are seen
on the finks almost daily are: Dr.
John B. Derr. John Grant. Dr. Wil
liam S. Goldsmith, W. R. Tichenor.
John H. Porter, president of the club;
E. R. Auetin. J. S. Brown, Lowry
Arnold. Reuben Arnold. Scott Hud
son and R. P. Jones. Other leading
lights of the game are: W. Joe Til -
son. better known to the “boys” as
“Joe”, whose principal characteristic
after being a golfer is being a Bull
Moose, and Thomas B. Paine. Bast
Lake’s Mayor and general-ln-chief.
While the crowds go out presum
ably for golf, the chef at the club
hinted that the chicken and gravy
he had been turning out for sometime
was responsible for some of the con
verts he could name.
Among the women and girls spend
ing a large part of their mornings
at the lake now are. Mrs. Thomas B.
Paine and Mrs. R. P. Jones,- who
live near by, as well as Miss Lida
Nash. Miss Priscilla Patton and Miss
Margaret Moore, who have groups of
friends out to be their guests every
little while.
Mrs. George S. Tigner, whose
husband's tall form is seen
often on the links, was* out one day
this week with several friends en
joying golf at second band. She came
in dead-tired, at the end of an event
ful day. and dropped into a big ve
randa chair.
Weary Walk Around Links.
“I’ve been chasing Dr. Tigner till j
I’m worn out,” she told the folks, j
“We were all so interested in watch- |
mg the game. But I tell you”—with
a sigh—“it’s strenuous work when
you happen to be wearing French
heel slippers!"
Other girls who are frequent visi
tors to the club are. Miss Helen Thorn -
and Miss Laura Cole, both excellent
svvimmers; Miss Van McKinnon, a
Chattanooga girl and friend of Miss
Thorn who has only made her home
in Atlanta for the past year: Miss
Nellie Kiser Stewart, Misses* Eliza^-
beth and Edith Dunson, and scores
of others.
Cold weather and thick clothes were
all right for the first six months or
so they lasted—but enough is a
plenty. Getting into fight garments
after the winter time is like gradua
tion day or turning butterfly all in a
second. It’s fine to be out—free!
Even the athletic fat man has felt
the summertime call, and has begun
to ornament the club premises with
his genial personality and ample pro
portions. The commonest highlight
on the general panorama is his damp
handkerchief displayed, flag-fashion,
from his back hip pocket.
The lake is being disturbed by early
swimmers. It's a little cold when
you first wade in and the water clones
up around you. but you’re all right
after you take the first twenty strokes
heading out for the other side and
back again—if you can.
The golf links and the tennis courts
are looking spick-and-span, and the
big porches of the club have received
a new garment of light blue paint,
though it’s too soft tD be walked on
yet. Everywhere the flowers are
wide-eyed or opening, and over th
slopes of the big acreage the grass
has come out clean and thick.
Rowing on Lake.
Out in the lake you’ll probably
catch Flight of somebody all in white
and a red sweater bent low and hap
py over the oars and fairly making
the water fly as she skids across it
in a boat.
The wind out at the lake is strong
any time of the clock now—but if
the day happens to be a little cold
It’s dandy to sit in the sunshine—
and Just sit there. Occasions a week
or two ago when the weather
chilly, there was a big fire in the
club’s old-fashioned fireplace, and
crowd of girls found it great to sit
around on the floor in front of it and
tell stories!
But days of that kind are practical
ly gone now. They'll soon be buried
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 10.—We all heartily
enjoyed tne story of how the Kaiser
got the best of the Kaiserin, who has
always refused to have any of her
dresses made in Paris, by making her
a pri sent of a beautiful Paris crea
tion, which attracted universal atten
tion and was greatly admired the
first time she wore it.
But those who had expected that
t*he imperiul lady would be angry at
the joke played upon her and read
a well-deserved curtain lecture to her
Lord and Master have been disap
pointed.
For like the sensible woman she is.
the Kaiserin acknowledged thq su
periority of the gown over those she
had worn before and she will now fol
low the example of her daughter-in-
law and get all her grand toileves
made here so there will be ir.oie
commissions for Miss Geraldine Far
rar to execute in the future.
Develops Taste for Pretty Gowns.
But the joke of the Paris gown. I
am told, has had much more far
reaching consequences, which will
tend to ^change the appearance of
Berljn eo*urt functions altogether.
For the Kaiserin. who was former
ly rather indifferent to dress, has sud
denly developed a decided taste for
pretty gowns and not only does she
inspect the new gowns of her ladies-
in-waiting most critically, but she is
trying to rob Crown Princess Cecilie
of her reputation of being the best
dressed ladty in Berlin.
As she still possesses « very fin'
figure and has much more money at
her disposal than her daughter-in-
law there is every prospect that she
may* succeed.
A week or two ago the Kaiserin
discharged one of her older ladies-in
waiting because she insisted on dres
sing in the rather dowdy manner, to
which her imperial mistress had never
objected before.
Asks Ambassadress to Study Fashions
After o court function just after
East«’C_the Kaiserin sent for the wife
of a very -wealthy foreign ambassador
and in the most friendly manner ad
vised her to take a trip to Paris and
pay special attention to Rue de la
Paix. 0
When the ambassadress asked the
reason why. the Kaiserin explained
to her that somebody had informed
her that she had neglected to return
her greeting when passing her in an
open carriage near the Thiergurten,
but the only reason why she had
been impolite, she said, wps that she
had not recognized her.
The lady who very well remember
ed the incident and also the fact that
she had worn a very old dress on
that day took the hint and two days
later she arrived in Paris and made
large purchases from several well-
known modistes.
“Lines” of Figure Remain.
Having dcftie very little but attend
exhibitions of the new spring inodes,
to which I have received cards, al
most ever since Easter. I feel that 1
may speak with some authority on
the subject of dress for the next few
months.
Let me say first of all then, that
we have successfully defended “the
line,” if not in its most exaggerat
ed then certainly in its most attrac
tive form. The modistes who had
hoped to bring us back to the old ug
ly deformities of dress have been
badly defeated by our determination
to remain slim, pretty and healthy.
1 am very well aware that some
writers on fashio*. have written that
"the line” is dead but this is true only
in as far as we will no longer be
expected to appear like perpendicu
lar streaks without any sign of bust
or hips and that our skirts are just
a little less narrow- than last year
giving more freedom to our limbs,
and slightly draped from the knee
down so as to enable us to display
the very pretty hosiery, which every
well-dressed woman now’ wears.
