J UST think of the lucky bride with
a $25,000 trousseau. How many
of our charming Atlanta bridos-
to-he will have wedding clothes which
will amount In value to this ligure. 1
am afraid there will be none. But
that Is the price Miss Prances Sco-
vllle. the Kansas beauty, will pay for
the trousseau which she recently pur
chased In Paris for her wedding to
Walter De Munn Mr. De Muiin, you
know. 1s a scion of the famous French
Champagne house. But my readers 1
know, are more Interested in the wed
ding dress and the trousseau than
they are In the man who made Extra
Drv famous. Through a friend, who
happens to be an intimate of Miss
Scocille, 1 learned somo of the do
t-ails
The wedding dress Is of tt white
soft silk brocade, with small silver
thread and a long train, and a long
panel of real old face.
Her favorite evening gowns Include
a red one of tussor cloth, with n
heavy beaded top. Another of clt-
tonelle, colored with silver and a chif
fon Wdth small ermine bands. Each
has an evening coat to match. The
choicest gowns include one In the new
coltle cloth with a pleated pannier,
another is of tan chiffon cloth with
a Valenciennes and tulle waist and
a la rye blue sash. Tailored suits in
elude a blue serge, short coat with
ted buttons, also a white corduroy,
being fashioned In the shape of a
Norfolk tecket.
Isn't she the lucky girl?

1 CANNOT help telling of an instam
that I heard of a day or so a*
in which one of Atlanta’s mo
stately dowagers, whosv dignity ar

was given a shock by a litle fireckl

whose word is law in a certain set
of Atlanta's swelldom, was visltiug
in Druid Hills and while waiting for
her friend to appear decided to make
friends with the young hopeful of the
house This kiddle, after answering
a few questions, decided to ask a
few on his own account.
‘ How old are you,” he demanded
abruptly. This somewhat staggered
Mrs. % R U t she answered as
sweetly as possible.
“Oh. I guess l am older than you
can count,” she said.
“Huh,” said the youngster, “I can

I SUBPEGT there will be something
in the nature of a summer festi
val to celebrate the regime of the
Capital City Club’s ownership of the
Brookhaven Club. They tell me that
after raising the Capital City’s Club
limit of members to 800, on as
suming a country club property, the
applications fur new membership tn
one week were nearly as much as the
increased membership. I predict a
gay and successful season for the
Brookhaven Club this year.
There is no reason that I can see
why this prediction should not he
verified. When the highway now un
der process of “improvement” is com
pleted, the automobile ride from the
city to Brookhaven will be line. The
club house has ample grounds, a good
golf course, a beautiful place for
swimming and aquatic sports and
broad and spacious porches for sum
mer afternoon tea parties, to sa.v
nothing of a spacious ballroom tvt
turkey trotting and tangoing Atlanta
society folks do not need to go away
for summer pastimes nor cool breezes.
The three clubs—East Lake, Brook
haven and the Piedmont Driving Club
—all furnish amusement and interest,
and nowhere can Atlantans find more
attractive surroundings or greater di
versions of amusement.
Of course, a change is desirable,
and the mountain air and the moun
tain view, also the sea, w ith its sort
bathing and its “view,” will have
their quota from Atlanta's social cir
cles. Still the fact that life here b
mar visits, and at all times during
the warm weather there will be num
bers of interesting people “at home,”
and the social record w'ill not be de
void of interest. For where two or
three are gathered together in their
best clothes there is society—and
something interesting to tell about.
K
LTHOUGH the "home team” does
not do a great deal to inspire
enthusiasm these days, loyal
fans among the girls, as well as
among the men of the city, have
crowded the grandstand at Poncoy
every afternoon the past week. I no
ticed a half dozen members of the
younger set smnewhat crouched to
gether on account of the chilly at
mosphere at a game the other day.
The girls knew when to “holler” for
joy, or moan for defeat, just as well
as the men who were with them. And
they did not "put on airs,” either, al
though those same men were not as
good at noting the fine points of
grand opera as the girls were of the
baseball game.
As l sat watching the bright, en
thusiastic faces of these girl fans, l
heard a shrill voice behind me. which
held no trace of the Atlanta accent,
ask of her companion, another girl;
“L>o you understand this game?”
“No,” replied her friend, also speak
ing without the Atlanta accent. “I
don't understand much, except that
everything is settled by that little
man out there they call the vampire!”

ss de Chaulnes
is going abroad for the summer,
accompanied by her sister, Mis3
Shorns. 1 have heard that when the
mance of th© Duke and Duchess de
Chaulnes cast an added glamour over
the young and charming American
widow in the eyes of the gallant
Frenchmen, and an adulation was ac
corded her such as no American wom
an ever receives. It is natural that
she should prefer Paris to New York,
where, despite all that is written on
the subject of American women’s in
dependence, where is never the same
ceremonious attention, and—let it be
whispered—where women as women
never attain the same importance In
the estimation of men as in Paris.
Now. the Duchess is going back for
a happy summer, I hope, after spenc
ing two years here, in accordance
with her father’s wishes. Marguerite
Shunts, the younger of the two sis
ters, prefers London and English so
ciety to Paris, 1 have heard. Her par
ticular best fTiend is the Duchess of
Manchester, who is the very happy
and contented American wife of a ti
tled Englishman. The Duchess and
her sister are making their annual
visit in Washington at present as
guest9 of Mrs. Oarence Moore. Last
year they spent part of their summer
at the Shonts home near Mobile, and
l suppose the recent destruction of
that place by Are may have influenced
their decision to go abroad this sum

Pago regime.
What the English aristocracy con
sidered the late Amb issador’s bril
liant home to be, I don’t know; but
I agree with them that the Pago fam
ily is more typically American than
that of our late esteemed representa
tive at the Court of St. James. By the
way, the daughter of the Page house
hold has announced that while she
will be interested and delighted with
her foreign residence and opportunity
to meet the men of other nations, she
is NEVER going to marry any but
an American—and one at least halt
as nice as father,” Miss Page fondly
adds.

P ROSPECTIVE brides of the sea
son were much interested in the
cabled details of the wedding of
Princess Luise of Germany, as was
the remainder of the feminine world
also, l suppose. The wedding gowu
f the Princess was too “regal” Cor
any but a royal bride, being of cloth
of silver, shot through with gold
thread* Silver embroidery executed
in the myrtle flower—sacred to Ger
man brides—bordered the gown, and
the corsage and wedding veil was of
rare and. costly lace. The train was
lined with ermine, that rich fur of
royalty which rich Americans have
usurped to a certain extent.
The bridesmaids’ costumes sound
like simplicity itself—“rose colored
satin, with trains,” the foreign re
porters told us. By the way, the royal
bride wore elaborate Jewels, chief of
whkh was a necklace, composed of
forty magnificent diamonds. For the
rest, the description of costumes
would have easily been appropriate to
an Atlanta wedding -“channeuse,
veiled in chiffon, with shadow lace”—
th© evening toilette of the season has
a sameness of material, h.i*t differs
each in its ow n glory of color combi
nations and that elusive "line,” of
which we hear so much and in w hich
the cachet of a costly garment mostly
lies.

W HILE on the subject of fashions
—a subject w hich Polly Peach
tree, in common with all other
women, can talk upon by the hour-—
l will record the revival of a fad
which was at its height three or four
years ago—that of wearing handsome
colored beads and near-jewels in long
necklaces, with white or light colored
blouses. I recall a gorgeous necklace
of vivid red beads, which lovely Lpulie
Roper used to wear with her white
blouses, wound round and round
round her throat and hanging down
to her belt. The beautiful red beads
harmonized well with her glowing
beauty, and 1 remember that one day,
when I asked her where she got the
strange ornaments—different to any
I had seen—she laughingly told me
that one day in visiting an Indian
encampment with a party of friends,
as she stood by and watched the
others dicker with the Indians for
their bright-hued beads, suddenly a
lithe okl Indian with a fanciful head
dress that denoted his chieftanship
stepped up to her and threw the
gorgeous beads over her head, saying
in broken English that they looked
pretty on the pretty lady. And they
certainly did.
I have noticed a discriminating
wearer of colored beads in Atlanta’s
younger set recently, Miss Helen
tkirgan’s pale amber necklace of large
cut stones according as well with her
blonde coloring as did Miss Roper's
gay string with her dark eyes and
hair. A bit of pleasing color intro
duced in the light color l summer
costume with discrimination is alto
gether desirable—a stFing of coral,
amethyst, amber or pearl, with the
day toilette, and a purple dahlia, a
red rose or a pink gardenia with the
evening gown. Upon such small de
tails does the effectiveness of a cos
tume often depend.

I J is receiving a warm welcome in
Atlanta, even as did her elder
sister, Marjorie, who was one of the
past winter’s extensively entertained
guests. The two girls are charming
types of Southern beauty, and are
popular in New Orleans. Mlidred s
still a schoolgirl, and has come all the
way to Georgia to attend Lucy Cobb
this year. She came to Atlanta di
rectly after commencement to spend
awhile with Ruth Reid, an Atlanta
representative at Lucy Cobb. Of
course, the girls will go back for
Geofgia” commencement—no Lucy
Cobb girl ever misses that event.
Between the 13th, w T hen “Georgia”
commencement begins, and the clos
ing of Lucy Cobb, Miss Bobb will have
a good time in Atlanta. Miss Mar
jorie Bobb is a debutante of a year’s
standing, and took a conspicuous part
in (he carnival gaities this year, an
honor to which all New' Orleans
debuntates aspire. When in Atlanta
she was the guest of Miss Jennie D.
