vrsant Fish next Friday night. She
has announced that she will appear
as a fairy In fluffy white with wings
and a wand, and her sole Jewels a
string of famous pearls.
Prom all 1 can hear, this ball to be
given by Mrs. Fish will be a wonder
ful affair. Some of the costumes to
be worn will be remarkable In their
novelty. T hear that Mrs. Robert
Goelet. who is one of the handsomest
married women in the Eastern set,
is having an elaborate “Little Bo
Peep” costume made. It will be the
product of special artists and cos
tumers, and Mrs. Goelet has pur
chased a little lamb, which she is
training for service at her side in
the ballroom. Dainty satin strings
will be used as leading strings for
the little lamb as Mrs. Goelet walks
about the dance floor.
L ET me tell you of a novel after-
the-theater party which came to
my attention last week. It may
offer suggestions for those in search
of something new at this dull time.
A party of the younger set—some
or eight girls and men—motored
out to Piedmont Park, after the
show, and instead of sitting at little
tables under the electric lights and
eating something they didn’t want,
they went over into the children's
playground and spent a Jolly hour. In
the moonlight, swinging in the big
swings, shooting the chutes and d >-
ing other stunts with the playthings
which the kiddies of that neighbor
hood use
I understand that the girls were a
charming group and M jUlt too ftWOOt
tor anything,” as they romped and
played and laughed, making believe
they were Just little girls Instead of
dignified maidens “standing with re
luctant (?) feet where the brook and
river meet.” Sitting comfortably in
a big swing, their chaperon, a mer
ry-hearted woman, who has not lost
her youthful heart, looked on with
smiling lips at the pretty s-'ene. until
she thought the playtime had lastei
long enough, when the party was hus
tled Into a big automobile and every
body went home happy.
I hear that the example of thli
group is soon to be Imitated by other
near-debutantes and maybe by some
of the older couples as well.

A LL the world loves a lover, and
•specially a royal lover. So all
England and a good part of the
United States is delighted over the
love affair of Prince Arthur of Con
naught and the young Duchess of
Fife, whose engagement haH Just been
announced.
Prince Arthur has lonjj shared with
his sister, the Princess Patricia, a
great popularity, and there have been
rumors galore of Impending engage
ments. At one time he was said to
be desperately In love with Lady Mar
jorie Manners, who is now the March
ioness of Anglesey. It was said that
King Edward was about to approve
of the match between these young
people when he died, and that King
George would have none of it.
The young Duchess of Fife Is prac
tically unknown in English society,
owing to the seclusion In which her
mother chooses to keep her family of
daughters. She is described to me as
r nice-looking blonde, with pale, in
effective eyes. My informant adds
that she has a lot to learn about
dress; that all her clothes have be<m
homemade, in primitive, ill-fit tins:
fashion. At a recent royal party she
and her sisters were dressed like
charity school children They won
long buttoned boots that looked any
thing but smart.
She is an expert fencer, and It Is
aaid that she has few equals as a
flshemoman for wilmon. She rides
to hounds with all the daring of a
man. When in society, she is so dif
fident that she has been nicknamed
"Her Shyness.” However, she will
have $5,000,000 in her own right on
her marriage, and once released from
parental suppression, she may bios
gom out into an agreeable-looking
woman.
Incidentally the Prince is not tn
Adonis among men Though quite
good looking, he is slightly shrunken
on the left side, like tne German Em
peror, and walks with a limp. Added
to that, a perfectly bald head, he in
not one. I should imagine, to appeal
to a fastidious American girl.

M R. AND MRS WILLIAM RAW
LINGS, who have recently
built a charming home in Druid
Hills, having come here from New
York for permanent residence, are
now in Paris. They spend a part
of each summer abroad, and left At
lanta for their annual trip soon after
the marriage of their daughter Kath
erine to Philip Wilcox in June.
From Carlsbad greetings to Atlanta
friends have recently come from Mrs.
J. P. Norfleet and Miss Ada Nor
fleet, of Memphis, who are abroad
tor the summer. The home-coming
of Miss Mary Allgood Jones, who
has been abroad for several months,
was somewhat marred by her illness
upon arrival. She is all right now. I
hear, and with Mrs. Jones will be
guests of Mrs. Hugh McKee for a
time. After the first of September
they go to their home for the winter,
Miss Jones to be a debutante next
teason.
Miss Jessie McKee. the young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mc
Kee, has arrived in New York, after
a year at school in Berlin. She will
accompany her father for a trip into
Canada before coming on to Atlanta.
At this season one often sees the
names of Georgians In the cable dis
hes from the playgrounds of Eu-
At St. Moritz Mr. and Mrs.
T. Dash wood are registered
pa
from Atlanta Mrs. Peter Brugulere,
of Savannah, always a striking fig
ure and noted as an elegant dresser,
is in London for the season, as has
been her custom for years. She has
a large circle of friends there, by
whom she is grentlv admired.
Among those friends are Mrs. Wil
liam Northrop McMillan, of St. Louis,
and of No. 19 Hill street, London;
Mrs. James McDonald, the Hon. Mrs.
Henry Coventry, formerly Edith Kip,
of New York, who entertained a par
ty for Mrs. Bruguiere at her house
on Grosvenor square recently.
Mrs. Bruguire is one of those
Americans who go over to London
every season and entertain their own
special circle, which is often a most
delightful and Interesting one.
HEARD a story the other day
which throws an interesting side
light on our old friend, Andrew
Carnegie. The “Laird of Sklbo” Is
noted for his thrift, but I did not think
that he carried it as far as this story
would indicate.
Mr. Carnegie, accompanied by hi. q
wife, daughter and a few friends, had
been traveling in Switzerland. On
the arrival of the party at Lucerne
the majority wanted to stay a few 1
days longer, as the weather wa c
spiendid. Mr Carnegie, however. ■
pointed out that the money for the.
sleeping cars from Basle to Paris'
would be lost, and they went to Paris
At another time it was proposed to
vary the booked voyage in a manner '
which would entail a cost of $4 extra j
each.
“Four dollars is a lot of money,”
said Mr. Carnegie. And the extra trip |
was abandoned,

AM very anxious to find out Just
what caused Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Beals McLean to desert Newport
so hurriedly.
A few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Mc
Lean arrived at the summer colony
with Baby Vincent, fourteen automo
biles. dozens of horses and a great
retinue of servants, took possession
of Black Point Farm, and prepared
for a season of pleasant gayety.
At that time it wag predicted that
the lovely Mrs. McLean, who was for
merly Evelyn Walsh, the Colorado
heiress, would be the reigning belle of
Newport. It was said that the fa
mous Hope diamond had been taken
along and would be worn on several
occasions. But suddenly last week
the McLeans packed up, hired a
makeshift special train, and left for
Canada. They announced that they
would be gone at least a month
I am sorry to hear this, for I have
such an intense admiration for Mrs.
McLean that I was looking forward
with groat pleasure to her social
achievements at Newport.

A TLANTANS remember well An
na Pavlowa, the Russian dancer,
who appeared here with Mikael
Mordkin in their wonderful dances.
Mademoiselle Pavlowa, I understand,
will appear here again next winter.
This young woman has attained
tremendous popularity with the royal
family of Russia. Indeed, the Czar
admires her so much that he has com
missioned the famous Russian sculp
tor. Seraphln Soudbinine, to model
her in several poses. These models of
Pavlowa In “The Swan.” “The Baceha-
nale" and other of her dances will be
reproduced in the private porcelain
factory of the C2ar. The products of
this factory are kept exclusively for
the use of the imperial family and for
gifts for their personal friends

I "' WTLVE young women, popular
in society, organized themselves
into a little club, which for sev
eral meetings lacked a name. So
much gossip went on over the card
tables—I have this straight from a
member—that the girls decided they
had gossiping proclivities equal to a
scrubwoman’s, so then and there they
nam* d their organization the "Scrub
by Club.”
Although the members entertain
ea^h other at weekly meetings with
dpi ntv luncheons and all wear their
prettiest clothes, they still dub them
selves the Scrubbies. and all of them
are called by their intimate friends,
though some of these do not know
what the name implies.

H1NMAN and Master Thomas
Philip Hinman, Jr., with Mr.
