the Piedmont Driving Club. The club
and the grounds never looked pret
tier than at present. An orchestra
is in attendance each afternoon from
5:30 until 7:30 o’clock. The ball
room is open and there is plenty of
dancing of all kinds for those who
must do the chicken flip or a tango
before dinner.
In addition, there is abundance to
eat and drink of the very vest qual
ity, and 1 do not see how anybody
could be uncomfortable or unhappy
in Atlanta during the summer that
has Just opened. In fact, the Pied

I set down this statement of my

NE of the things NOT to worry
^ about, is the prophecy made by
Mrs. Christian Hemmick, a very
prominent society woman in Wash
ington, to the effect that in time,
skirts will be abolished; men and
women will both be wearing Orien
tal trousers; kissing will be unknown
and health certificates issued to
everyone before marriage will be in
force.
This, according to Mrs. Hemmick,
is to take place within the next 100
years. It is a pretty difficult mat
ter to dip 100 years into the future,
and I do not care to venture an opin
ion on what kind of garments men
and women will be wearing 100 years
from now’, as none of us who are at
present doing the tango, will be here
to worry about it.
As for kissing,—it all depends up
on “the time, the place and the girl.”

if a girl wishes to look her best .is
a bride, she cannot afford to be tired.
Then in the matter of clothes, most
girls prefer to keep the trousseau
fresh and unworn until after her mar
riage, which precludes her using the
new gowns at the parties given for
her. if they come before the wedding.
The new fad meets with my approv
al,.and I think the brides who adopt
it are very sensible. Of course, in the
case of the girl's leaving the city
when she* marries, the parties will
have to come before the wedding. One

son’s brides have adopted a» to
prenuptial entertaining is very wise.
Several of the prominent brides have
only accepted one or two parties, some
none at all. The “series of brilliant
entertainments” are postponed until
the wedding journey is over. I sup-

tom of days agone when the brid* 1 -
to-be did not appear in public after
the cards were out for her wedding.
The parties for brides, in cases
where the young woman is especially
prominent or popular, have been so
numerous that one wondered how'
strength was left to stand at the altar
on tho wedding eve. And a bride who
is tired is not a pretty bride, for so
