HEAP ATLANTA. UA., SI NDAV. MAY M \ A very charming and popular young matron, who finds time aside from her numerous social duties to be a devoted 'I v mother. The picture is posctj with the two handsome children of Mrs. Moore, who are among the finest of the Moore will doubtless entertain brilliantly for her young sister, Miss Rosalie Davis, who is now traveling in Europe, chap- Anderson. She expects to return in the fall and make her debut next winter. Mrs. Moore presides over an attractive and Peachtree contingent. Next s< cloned by another sister, Mrs. hospitable home on Peachtree ^y\E of the very brightest spot** in ^ town these warm afternoons is 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 mont Club is a first-class summer re sort. they are all the rage and are so much in use that highballs of whiskey are little used.” 1 am learning something new every day. However, the young woman was forced to forego this pleasure for no one could be found who knew how at breakfast. There is not one of us who can't sit down at 6:30 o’clock in the morning and go through a whole bill-of-fare:—fruit, cereal, eggs, or omelette, chop or steak, lyon- naisse potatoes, hot cakes and coffee. We start the day with a good sub stantial meal, and after that we can do the day’s work, and when night comes, a little toast or tea. or milk toast and we are ready for bed at 9 o’clock.” I set down this statement of my dear, old friend here in the hope that 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.” t HAVE observed with great inter- 1 est the men and women who have been with us for the past ten days. much white In a toilette takes a gTeat deal of color to offset it, and 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 of Atlanta’s recent brides who pre ferred that her parties come after i lie ceremony Is Mrs Charles T. Hop kins. Jr., who with her husband, was tendered a dinner party last night at the Driving Club, by Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Smith, Jr., this being the first of several interesting affairs to be tendered this newly married cou ple. After a honeymoon in the moun tains of Virginia, this pretty young bride has come home with the flush of perfect health, and she is all tho more ready to enjoy her oom-plimen- tarv parties. « * * U*OLLOWING the precedent set by * the "royal bride” of yesterday, Princess Lulse of Germany, who was surrounded by a group of the love liest young Princesses of Europe, the bridal party forming a beauty show par excellence, an Atlanta bride.

Phot. on the banks at East Lake one sum mer day this week. I declare there are no girls at Newport or Narragan- sett or any of the Atlantic Coast resorts equal in feminine charm to some of those who frequent Atlanta’s bathing places. I will not mention any names, but members of the Athletic Club who frequent the country club know whom 1 mean. promptly as a birthday gift to the little girl. Mrs. Wise has spent much of her time with Mr. and Mrs. Flagler at "Whitehall,” their beauti ful home in Florida. ion on feminine hearts, some of my acquaintances, who are putting on weigjit at the rate of three to five pounds a day, will take no tice and profit thereby. y iRS Henry M. Flagler, who, by •*-** the death of her husband the pas. week, becomes the possessor of many millions, is a Southern woman, having been Mary Kenan, of Wil mington, N. C. She is a charming women and has neber lost her gra cious, unaffected cordiality as the wife of a multi-millionaire. Mrs. Flagler has many friends in Atlanta and in Macon, where her sister, Mrs. Cllsby Wise formerly lived. Flagler was very devoted to his wife; and to all of her kinspf le, he was always kind and generous. When Mrs. Cllsby Wise was married, he gave her u beautiful residence on College Street, in Macon, and at the birth of her lit- F THINK the new fad which the sea 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- | pose the fad is a revival of the cus 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 1 HEAR from a friend in Washington that the Old Guards made a beau tiful impression on their jaunt through the East. 1 am told this was especially true in Washington, where they were received by President and Mrs. Wilson at the White House. The Old Guards presented Mrs. Wilson with a beautiful bunch of Georgia roses, which they gave her as being \ RE our Atlanta women up-to- date?
