I don't suppose Miss Owens selected her bridesmaids solely for their good look*, but it “just hap pened” that her best friends were each, a beauty of distinctive type. Some brides could not dare, in jus tice to themselves, to have a group of beautiful bridesmaids, but this bride can, for she is a beauty herself. Miss Owens 1* one of the brown eyed, golden brown haired, pink and white complexioned beauties, who are dis tinctly American In type.

This bridal group is sure to make a very effective and charming picture at St. Marks, on the evening of June 16. • * * I HEAR that Katherine Ellis, the * young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellis, ha* decided to forego her annual trip abroad this season, be cause she wants to wear summer clothes once more. Since she was a school girl Miss Ellis has spent her summers in Europe, and the usual summer girl’s garb of white linen skirts, canvas shoe*, Panama hats, lingerie gown*, and all the other be witching array have perforce given way to the dark blue serge of the so journers abroad. Mrs. Ellis had planned fer he* daughter to have another season abroad before entering upon her so cial career, but she tells me that she ha9 decided to let Miss Katherine have her heart’s desire, and now many dainty. Huffy summer things are be ing made for this fortunate young woman’s summer on this side of the water. Next week Miss Ellis goes to Balti more and will spend the month of June with her aunt. Mrs. Shirley Car ter. who has a beautiful country place at Buxton, in the Green Spring valley, where the fashionable summer c olony of Baltimore peonle has been established. “Kendall,” the home of Mrs. Carter, is one of many hand some places grouped around a Coun try Club, and all sorts of summer nleasures makes the season there most enjoyable. After a month at Buxton. Miss Elli* plans to go to Nar- ragansett where she will spend July, with Mrs. James Sprunt, of Wilming ton. and Mrs. Kenneth Murcheson. of New York, both aunts of the young debutante. Miss Ellis is fortunate in having so many charming aunts who will see that she ha* a delightful social lime in other cities, as well as in At lanta. They are all socially promi nent and have beautiful and hospita ble homes which will be opened to their young kinswoman. Miss Ellis has not definitely decided where she will go for August, but is thinking of going to the Greenbriar White, where a number of Atlantan* will be at that time, the gayest of the season, in this fine old Southern resort. cur through the traffic of Peachtree and Whitehall with interring hand, and I hear that she has not practiced golf this seasoi to any extent. Miss Helen Janes, one of the best riders among the younger girls, has not been riding ts much this year as formerly. They tell me that she is vefy much interested in music at present, and plans to go to New York for further study In that art. The long, sunny mornings in which she used to canter over the highways and byways are now devoted to the piano. Miss Josephine Windle is one of the fine horsewomen of the city who keeps up her practice. Miss Windle Is an English girl, and has all 11 the love for the out-of-doors which characterizes the English. She rides beautifully and seldom does she miss her daily canter. As the summer advances, the out- of-door sports will grow in favor i East Laifc will be transformed Into a I summer resort, with its fine bathing i and swimming facilities, its broad porches with inviting tables for al rresco iunches and teas, its tennis courts and golf links. At the Pied mont Driving Club, a summer at mosphere will prevail, and the tennis courts will be put in fine condition for the usual tournaments held there each season. Interest centers in the Brookhaven Club, which has just been taken over by the Capital City Club. This club has magnificent grounds, extensive golf links, tennis courts, swimming pools, and everything to make it desirable for summer pleas ures, including a fine paved road of just the right distance from town for a delightful motor ride to and from the club. T WO Georgia girls, Misses Frances Clarke and Louise Williams, were members of the senior class of Goucher College, which was enter tained, several ovenings ago. in the j East room of the White House. The j Wilsons are especially interested in > Goucher as one of the girls has been a student there. It will interest the friends of Louise Williams, who is j an exceptionally talented reader, to | know that she gave a program of Southern songs and readings from Uncle Remus, at the White House reception last week. This isn’t the first time that Miss Williams has given readings at the White House, for she gave a beautiful program before President and Mrs. Taft, last year. Coming from “Dixie.” Miss Williams has the true accent neces sary for the rendition of the old- time songs and for the quaint Uncle Remus sketches. They tell me she delighted her distinguished audience the other night. Miss Williams is a real Southerner, a daughter of the late Captain Williams, of Cobb’s Cav alry during the Civil War. and a granddaughter of the late Judge Wil liams P. Beale, of Virginia. Frances Clarke was a very popular member of her class, and will be one of next winter’s debutantes. She is expect ed home some time next week. Her mother, Mrs. Peter F. Clarke, went on to Baltimore, to attend the Goucher commencement. IU , £ IV 1 j I N reading over an announcement of the engagement of Ensign Con rad Ridgely, of the United States Navy, to Miss Julia Hayes Douglas, of Washington. D. C, I am reminded of several brilliant and wealthy mar riages which Georgia men in the naval service have made. There seems to be something very fetching about young naval officers, any way. Ensign Ridgely is a Georgian, Au gusta his home, and his marriage to a prominent Washington girl will add another to this list I speak of. One of these notable marriages was that made by Emory Winship, of Macon, .who was a gallant young naval officer at the time of his marriage to a California heiress. The Emory Win- ships are an ideal couple, and that each may have a season of living at home, they, divide their time between San Francisco and Macon, having beautiful homes in each place. Just now* they are at Coronado Beach, and 1 read a few days ago of a bridge called, dogwood | party given by Mrs. Winship, which was the most brilliant event of the season at the California coast re sort.

One of the cleverest of Oscar Wilde’s comedies of English life will be presented by a very cap able company, composed of talented members of the Players' Club. The audience will be a representative one. and all the boxes will be filled with parties. ’The Importance of Being in Earnest" is the play to be presented, with Mrs. Slaton. Miss Burton-Smith, Mrs. William Owens. Mrs. Henry E. Scott, Lamar Hill, Marsh Adair, Hamilton Douglas, Jr., and R. Frank Taylor in the cast. After the show, the annual banquet will be given at the Piedmont Driv ing Club. At a long table, with cov ers for 18 or 20 guests, will be seated the members of the cast presenting the play, the officers and other mem- sat enthralled went through as the young dancers intricate step* and graceful postures in a series of fancy dances of various styles. Of partic ular interest were the tango and one-step, danced gracefully and beau tifully. by several young couples. These dances were put on the pro gram by Mis* Moseley to show how graceful the new dances are and how free of any objectionable fea tures, if danced as they should be. The several solo dances included aesthetic dance*, and interpretative dances, according to the methods • f the Russian dancers, taught by Chalif, of New York, the famous exponent of the Russian school. Especially pleasing were the folk dances, and the varieties of ballet and bail room dance* The technical num bers were full of grace and charm, and displayed the physical culture value of fancy dancing. The reci tal was given at Segadlo’s Hall on Monday evening. T NOTE that name flowers are em- 1 plowed in decorating by the Lon don hostesses of prominence.

Those women whose names are Rose. Violet, Ivy, Myrtle, and so forth, can follow this fashion without trouble, but I am sure I don't know what a Mary Ann or a Gwen dolyn w ould do In such a case. Speaking of floral decorations. I have noticed at many if the parties of the past week and r >r several weeks back in Atlanta, that nature in stead of the florist has been called upon for decorations. Fragrant ap ple blossoms, wild honeysuckle — azalea as It is often blossoms, and garden roses have been .ailed upon to lend their beauty to the luncheon and dinner table. A^par ticularly pretty effect can be achieved with the purple Iris, a flower as fra- T AM Rile and pretty as the most costly * orchid. Darkles are much used at present, and they should be. for there are millions of these flowers in the fields in the outskirts of the city. ! heard one young girl, noted for her artistic taste in decorations, say that c n „ kept her favorite apartment, the | sun parlor, of her home, decorated lavishly now, with several dozen ringing baskets and wall vases filled , with wild daisies. The flow ers will i •art over a week, if cared for every day. and are bright and pretty to the dav of their death. * * * IRK'8 a song to the ways That we play through the days In this glorious out-of-door land.

The land of the great out-of- doors.” S UMMER time In the South is ideal for all fresco entertaining and for outdoor sports’. Already we note a tendency to desert the bridge tables for the golf link.*, and to sub stitute picnics and swimming parties for dances and luncheons. In most instances, where bridge is the feature of amusement, there is an al fresco side to the luncheon or tea which fol lows the game, and often the card ta bles are placed on the porch or lawn. Instead of indoors. This season has not been remark able so far for horseback riding. Many of the best riders seemingly have neglected the sport for other things. I have noted several expert automobile drivers among the erst while rider.* of horses and I greatly fear that the machine of swiftness will usurp the horse in milady’s favor. Mrs. George Harrington is one of the athletic women of the city who appears to have forsaken he: former j favorite, golf, for the motor car. 1 see her often, driving a large touring subscriptions to charities by the thou sand- dollars at the time, and not miss it, and who has recently do nated a million dollars to a hospital in Kansas City. Hayne Ellis is also in the navy and met Sallie Long in Japan when he was returning from the Phillipine Islands, where he had served during the Spanish-American Wl r. Hayne didn’t know that the gentle little dark eyed girl was an heiress, and attracted by her daintiness and charm he proceeded with hi* wooing. Of course Hayne won her, for he is as handsome as an Adonis, and great ly resembles his father, who was the handsomest man in the State, and a society leader in Atlanta in his younger days. It was to the last Horse Show that Mrs. Hayne Ellis and her sister Lula Long came in their private car, Sallie with a trunk full of lovely gowns, and Lula with a string of thirty as well-bred horse* as ever pranced on ; the tan bark. For the overflow of her stables, Mr. Long has built a new stable at the cost of nearly half a hundred thou sand dollars, which is but an annex to the stables already built in the rear of his palace-home in Kansas City. But to hark back to Hayne. he's all right, and has made an enviable record in the navy, and is just as happy with his lovely wife and two bright children as though he was poor and his commission of lieutenant captain had not been given him. * * * Our womankind in days of yore— A score of petticoats they wore And bulged out in a frightful way A huge circumference, they say Since then, with every passing year They're gone about with less, I hear. In great alarm on yesterday / saw them trouping from the play— / hope some one is keeping score. They've only got one layer more.. P ARIS, the home of Fashion, has frowned upon the glaring colors and the eccentric adaptations of the modes sent out from French de signers. Now I hear that sober colors are to be worn, and the “elegant sim plicity” we have heard of before, is to prevail in the ultra-fashionable wom an’s costume. I have never seen such startling modes as have been worn Peachtree this year. If anything could prove the absurdity of fashion, the present styles can do the work. Of course, when the modish draperies and fashionable lines are arranged by expert fingers, and the bright col ors are harmonized by an artistic au thority, the result is beautiful. if bizarre. But when done by the rank and file of home dressmakers or amateurs, the bizarre is achieved without the beauty. And it is ab solutely impossible in this day and time, for a fashion to be kept ex clusively within the bounds of the fashionable world. Every detail is copied and caricatured by the little dressmaker or home sewer as soon as it appears. I know of no funnier show than is afforded by a loiter along Peachtree, and a view of the passing throng, wearing home-made adaptations of Paris vagaries. As the women with slim purses have proved that they lack the taste and discre tion to dress plainly, the women of wealth have decided to adopt* the severely plain styles, depending on line and texture to make their toi lettes distinctive. I predict that the plain styles will be followed by the would-be-modish women, even as the eccentricities—but maybe, with bet ter success. T AST Sunday morning, as I stood waiting for friends on the steps of the church which I attend, I over heard a very unkind remark concern ing the newest fashions in woman’s dress. Two young men stood at the top of the few steps leading to the church and watched some of Atlanta’s best and fairest as they approached. Final ly one of the young men remarked to the .other: “You know’, these new skirts the women are wearing remind me of a crowded theater.” “How so,” asked his friend. here brought to the fact that "Because,” returned the other, Hayne Ellis, another of the blue- “there seems to be standing room blooded brigade, of Georgia, and es- only.” pecially of Macon also married into I'll admit that some of the clothes one of the richest families out in the women were wearing were very Kansas, His wife was Sallie Long, tight, but in justice to my sex I daughter of the lumber king, R.
