ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA , SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1913. Continued From Page 1. you with a look of mild bewilder- | ment. Yes, indeed, If I could have m> ; way, the introducer who swallows the name of the person he preaenU you to, would be forced to swallow the worst tasting: concoction a doctor could devise. • • • J UST think of the lucky bride with a $25,000 trousseau. How many i of out charming Atlanta brides* to-be will have wedding clothes which will amount in value to thlB figure 1 am afraid t here will be none. But : that is the price Miss Frances Sco- vifle. the Kansas beauty, will pay for the trousseau which she recently pur chased in Paris for her wedding to Walter De Munn. Mr. De Munn, you know , is a acion of the famous French champagne house But my readers 1 know, are more interested in the wed ding dreas and the trousseau than they are in the man who made Extra Dry famous. Through a friend, who happens to be an Intimate of Miss Scoville, I learned some of the de tails. The wedding dress Is of a white soft silk brocade, with small sliver thread and a long train, and a long panel of real old lace. Her favorite evening gowns Include a red one of tussor cloth, with a heavy beaded top. Another of cit- ronelle, colored with silver and a chif fon with small ermine bands. Em h has an evening coat to match. The choicest gowns Include one In the new collie cloth with a pleated pannier, another is of tan chiffon cloth with a Valenciennes and tulle waist and a large blue sash. Tailored suits in clude a blue serge, short coat with red buttons, also a white corduroy, being fashioned In the shape of a Norfolk Jacket. Isn't she the lucky girl? • • • A ATLANTA may put the seal of approval on the tango and 1 see that Mrs. Hugh M. Wille, for mer president of the Georgia Feder ation of Women’s Ulubs, declares that the turkey trot and other ultra-mod ern dances are perfectly correct, BUT if (jueen Mary of England can have her way. and she usually can. these dances will soon be a thing of the past In fashionable London hall rooms. Queen Mary has intimated her desire that none of the royal fam ily attend any halls where such dances are permitted. With this royal uUaee. the freak steps hover on the brink of total destruction; for rather than lose the attendance ot royalty, English society u’ould abol ish anything—even tea. • * • The nightcap* which our grannieh wore, Jt seems, are cowing in once more, And many ladies buy them. Jn fad 90 many feel their need That millinerx who fashions heed And dre*9moker* supply them. Yet strange indeed are fashion's whims, For lol the nightcap now she trims And oft on cocktails may light. Then there** another difference wide. The nightcaps now art• worn inside— They're stvulloiced—in the daylight! Y ES, my dears, it is really said to be the latest thing in New York for the fashionable milliners and modistes to carry in their shops a full supply of liquors for their fair customers Just Imagine going Into one of our Whitehall Street shops, asking to try on a creation in Nell rose, and being asked whether you prefer a Dubonnet cocktail, high ball or even a paprika cocktail, with your fitting. I haven't any doubt that after an afternoon of looking through milli nery stores and dressmaking shops, many a creation W’ould be disposed of whjch otherwise would hang forever in the shop. But I don’t think that Atlanta merchants will find It a pop ular innovation WONDER if the innovation of a pastor of a fashionable New Jer sey Episcopal Church would be popular in Atlanta. This enterpris ing preacher, knowing that the hot summer months are very destructive to church attendance, has decided to have phonographic records made of his sermons and also of the choir music. These he intend? to send to those persons too susceptible to heat to attend the aervlces. Can’t you Just Imagine a messenger going to the home of some of our ladies of fashion who were too tired to go to church on Sunday morning to deliver a phonographic record with the sim ple statement, “With the Rev. Mr. Memminger’s compliments, here is the sermon and church music of this morning’s service.’’ A BAS the strawberry. Away w’ith the luscious shortcake. Never, never again 1 am told that my favorite dish tends to make women rheumaticallv ungraceful I cannot stand for that as I have hard enough time as it is to keep my figure within bounds. As for the shortcake, that delicious confection will never pass my lips except perhaps in the pri vacy of my own home. Why? Well, the maitre d'hotel of one of the most fashionable places in New’ York has gone on record against the shortcake with the following remark: “The rulers of France never ate short cake, because* it requires too large a mouth.' Once more, I bar the straw berry shortcake. • • • I CANNOT help telling of an instance that I heard of a day or so ago in which one of Atlanta’s most stately dowagers whose dignity and et&teliness are proverbial In the town, was given a shock by a litle freckle- faced youngster from which, she w ill Dot recover for some time. The lady Mpc Fmnb W/inPrnff One of the lovely brides of the season, whose wedding was an event of April. Mrs. I II .. >. I I vJI II \ W II IV^vA/l I Winecoff was Miss Dess Wall before her marriage. The young couple have re turned from their wedding journey, and sre at home in Analey Park, with Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Winecoff. Photo by Wealey l!lnihl*rg. whose word Is law in a certain set of Atlanta's swelldom, was visiting in Druid Hills and while waiting for hor 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. , but she answered as sw’eetly as possible. “Oh, I guess 1 am older than you can count,” she said. “Huh,’’ said the youngster, “I can count up to a hundred.” Milady nearly fainted and there is no telling what would have happened had not her friend Just then ap peared on the scene. • • • W ILL you kindly pass the pansies, or perhaps a candied violet you’d like? No. the cauliflow er is more to your tarte? The secret’s out in that last suggestion, for the remark which began like a bouquet selection is really a luncheon choice. The . fruitarian menu (which sounds more like a floral menu) was the nov elty of a dinner given by 30 girls of the Garland School of Home-making and several friends of Mrs. W. H Henderson, president of the Anti- Vivisection Association of New Eng land. given at Mrs. Henderson’s home in New York last week. No animal flesh or product was served at this dinner, and the meal lasted two hours. My goodness, think of sitting two hours at a dinner where pansy salad was the picturesque but unwholesome looking piece de resist ance! Some of the girls, It is said, refused to eat the pansies (wise girls. I say). One of the pioneers in food exploration said that she swallowed the flowers, but didn’t taste anything. A professor on food, who lectured all the time the guests tried to eat, ex plained that meat eating destroyed h delicate sem*e of taste, hence the sub tle flavor of the pansies was lost on the deadened tongues of the guests. This w ise professor advocates a daily diet costing 15 cents per day for each member of a family. I suppose pater familias would advocate that diet, too, provided a restaurant were conven ient for him to slip into now and then —meaning about three times a day. on "pansy salad,” "composite of prunes and bananas,” “pine nuts and maple Juice,” their chances for getting a husband to cook for are slim, I fear; for men are ungrateful at best, and despite their de*1re for economical wives, they hanker after the flesh pots of Egypt, In the way of good roast beef and other old-time substantial for the sustenance of the inner man, and few would take kindly to a flow ery menu, despite its comparative cheapness. • • • I SUSPECT 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 600 members to 800, on as suming a country club property, the applications for new membership in one w’eek were nearly as much ns 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 be verified. When the highway now un der process of "improvement’’ is com pleted, the automobile ride from the city to Brookhaven will be fine. 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 say rotlilng of a spacious ballroom fo? 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- mer visits, and at all times during the warm weather there will be num bers of Interesting people "at home,” and the social record will 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. A 1 [.THOUGH 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 grundstand at Poncey every afternoon the past week. I no ticed a half dozen members of the younger set somewhat 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 ns the girls were of the baseball game. As I sat watching the bright, en thusiastic faces of these girl fans. 1 heard a shrill voice behind me. w hich held no trace of the Atlanta accent, ask of her companion, another girl: "Do 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'” * • • A nnouncement has been made that the Duchess de Chaulnes is going abroad for the summer, accompanied by her sister, Mi$. haven and the Piedmont Driving Club —all furnish amusement and interest, t », ... .. . ; -J and nowhere can Atlantans And more S’ 1 that when the attractive surroundings or greater di- to hess ca ™5 °' er versions of amusement. ^ t ^ *** l t ft her Of course, a change is desirable. !

Still the fact that life hert* i« ! Icon tn so pleasant will serve to curtail sum- hassy is to be, I believe, under the Page regime. What the English aristocracy con sidered the late Ambassador’s bril liant home to be, I don’t know’; but | I agree with them that the Page fam ily is more typically American than that of out late esteemed representa tive at the Court of St. James. By the way, the daughter of the Pago 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 ns 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. I suppose. The wedding gown of the Princess was too “regal” for any but a royal bride, being of cloth of silver, shot through with gold threads. 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 l'oyal bride w’ore elaborate jewels, chief of which was a necklace, composed of forty magnificent diamonds. For the rest, the description of costumes would have easily been appropriate to an Atlanta wedding—"charmeuse, veiled in chiffon, with shadow lace”— the evening toilette of the season has a sameness of material, but differs each in its own glory of color combi nations and that elusive "line,” of which we hear so much and in which the cachet of a costly garment mostly lies. • • • W HILE on the subject of fashions —a subject which Polly Peach tree, in common with all other women, can talk upon by the hour— I 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 Loulie Roper used to wear with her white blouses, wound round and round round her throat and hanging down to Jier belt. The beautiful red beads harmonized well with her glowing beauty, and I 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 old 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 Dargan’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 1 summer costume with discrimination is alto gether desirable—a string of coral, amethyst, amber or pearl, with the day toilette, and a purple dahlia, a red rose or a pink gardenia with the evening gow’n. Upon such small de tails does the effectiveness of a cos tume often depend. * * * A ILDRED BOBB, of New r Orleans, I 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. Mildred 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 "Georgia” commencement—no Lucy Cobb girl ever misses that event. Between the 13th, w’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 the carnival galties this year, an honor to which all New Orleans debuntates aspire. • When in Atlanta she was the guest of Miss Jennie D. Harris, who returned to New Orleans tor the carnival season as Miss Bobb’* guest. mance of the 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 spend ing two years here, in accordance with her father’s wdshes. Marguerite Shonts. the younger of the two sis ters, prefers London and English so ciety to Paris, I have heard. Her par ticular best friend 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 guests of Mrs. Clarence Moore. Last year they spent part of their summer at the Shonts home near Mobile, and I suppose the recent destruction of that place by fire may have influenced their decision to go abroad this sum mer. I T Is amusing to note the social im portance attached to the Ameri can Embassy in London by Eng lish society. One would think that the Ambassador had no other duties than wearing knee breeches or at tending afternoon teas. Perhaps he hasn’t, but some of us w r ho know the manner of man that Walter Page hap pens to be wonder if he will not And something more to do. at any rate. Some of the Londoners express pleas ure at the fact that “a man of brains” Is going to London, where, of all places in the world, brains are most appreciated.” I wonder! Others say that the simple, plain manner in which the Walter Pages are expected to live and entertain will help to stem the tide of extravagant entertaining and gay amusements, like the tango and the turkey trot, American importa- N Davison-Paxon-Stokes Co.

Mrs. Palmer, as the wife of the aide to the Secretary of the Navy, accompanies the Secre tary’s party to many naval reviews and other public ceremonies. On Fri day a party of Washington people, among whom were Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels. Lieut. Com mander Leigh Palmer and Mrs. Palm er, Miss Ethel Bagley and Josephus Daniels, Jr., were present at the Me morial Day exercises in honor of the heroes of the Maine disaster when the mast of that ill-fated ship was erected In their honor at the Brook lyn Navy Yard. The Washington party was on board the U. S. S. Dolphin, and cruis ed over the week-end. Saturday they attended the annual baseball game between the Army and Navy at West Point. They return to Washington to-day. • • • Mrs. Dunbar Roy has returned home after an absence of several weeks, and is being cordially wel comed. Dr. and Mrs. Roy went first to Washington, D. C., to attend the National Convention of Physicians and Surgeons, and they participated in the round of gayeties incident upon the convention. Upon the return of Dr. Roy to Atlanta, Mrs. Roy at tended a house party entertained by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Williams, at their country estate on the James River. The Williams home is a typical Vir ginia estate, and among the many pleasures arranged for the house party guests were boating, sailing and fishing parties, canoeing, and many outdoor pleasures, in addition to the usual round of informal sum mer entertainments. Other members of the house party were Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Bryan, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Willis. Mr. R. L. Montague, Mr. R. C.
