TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 3, 1013. 3 H Guest at House Party; Miss Jennilu Lindsey, attractive Atlanta girl „ who is attending a large house party near Toxaway. Miss Lindsey is a eharming member of the younger set, and has figured in the social gayeties of that set this summer. (Photograph by Hirshburg & Phillips.) mA.©Kiiri§iiE Have more authority than Madame Rumor for the statement that w« are to see many interesting and charming brides this winter. I am not at liberty to “name names,” of course, any more than are the society editors who are on the qui vive for engagement announcements and who, you may be sure, know lots more than they print just at the present time. It is interesting to reflect, however, in the days of social sameness that our autumn brides, supplemented bv a bevy of autumn debutantes, will make things gay after a little while. ou all know, for instance, that the coming season will see as a bride a girl, famed far and wide for her ex treme beauty, and also a girl who has been conceded to be the most all-round popular erirl of her set since she made her debut. Still another handsome girl, popular and generally liked, will be married in the autumn, and these are in addition to several who have already made public the news of their approaching weddings. And they tell me that one pretty member of the coming season’s deb utante set has been wooed and won before she gave the social world a glimpse of herself as a debutante. Now, I think that is unfair to the many beaux who have been waiting for this pretty eirl to get through with study and travel and all that. It was “stealing a march on them.” However, I am not surprised that she is claimed before she even start® out on her social career, for she >a certainly everything that is sweet and charming. There is cause for con gratulation in the fact that most of the girls who are to marry soon have chosen Atlantans and will still be art of Atlanta society. We are jo ave several out-of-town girH com ing here as young matrons, too, be cause of the autumn wedding season. h. •"T* HE latest engagement which, I j understand, is just announced to-day, is that of Miss Adeline Thomas and James Leech Wells. I have been hearing lots of things about those bachelors of “Paradise Hall.” You remember, I told you some tim* ago of this model establishment run by a number of young men who keep house in an Ansley Park bungalow and have great times. They are rais ing their own vegetables and flowers and learning how to be good hus bands when the time comes. Well, the latest recruit to the ranks of groomsmen-elect is a resident of “Paradise Hall.” I had feared that the comfort and pleasure of the bachelor establishment might Inter fere with the early marriages of these young men. but it seems my fears were groundless. For on the heels of the announcement of James Wells’ approaching marriage, I hear that an other of this group of happy bach elors is going around with that pre occupied look that denotes nothing less important than tempting matri mony. Adeline Thomas is one of the very popular young woipen of Atlanta, and her engagement will interest many friends. I know there will be as many parties for this pretty bride-to-be. and society for the winter will be bright ened by reason of this announce ment. * • • W ITH the coming of August many bits of news concerning the autumn weddings drift by on the wave of small talk. I have heard this week that the wedding of Mary Brewster, of Indianapolis, to William Bacon Gresham, of New York, is to be a brilliant society event in the city of the bride. Miss Brewster is a former College Park girl. She 4s the daughter of G. S. Brewster, and is beautiful and talented, a recent Vassar graduate. The groom-to-be is also a former resident of Atlanta, and neither of the young folk has been away long enough for their friends here to lose Interest in their approaching mar riage. Mr. Gresham has a fine position with the United States Steel Corpora tion in New York and prospects for the' young couple's future life seem rosy to their friends here. A picturesque wedding of the fall, in which an Atlantan will be the bridegroom, is that of Miss Elizabeth Herndon, of Virginia, to Henry Winn Sadler, of Atlanta. The wed ding will be one of those typical Southern ceremonies, taking place at the beautiful old Virginia home of the bride, Careby Hall, at Fort Un ion, in October. The bride-elect is the daughter of Mrs. William Hatch er, and her father, the late Dr. Hatcher, was head of the Fort Mili tary Acedemv. Miss Hatcher has been abroad much of late years. Mr. Sadler is a also Virginian. The recently announced engage ment in New York of Miss Pauline Peters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Peters, of Gordon City, to George V. Pierpont, of New York, "Was of interest here, where the bride- elect is well known through frequent visits to her ktrrsf*eople in Atlanta. Miss Peters has a sister. Dorothy, and a brother, Ralph Peters. Jr. The family are spending the summer at their beautiful home. “Wyndomeede.” one of the many spacious and costly homes on Long Tsland. Their father is president of the Long Island Rail road. Mr. Pierpont, I hear, is a “com ing man” in the professional circles of New York. He now lives at the Harvard Club, and is popular in so cial and club life. He is a son of Henry V. Pierpont. of Chicago. * * • •Tp HE informal social life of the season has been considerably enlivened this year by the pres ence of well-known people from va rious Georgia cities here during the bession of the General Assembly. The fact that Mrs. Slaton, the wife of the Governor, is so prominently and SPECIAL SALES OF LINENS, LACES AND READY-TO WEAR. y^T . RICH & BROS. CO. 4 actively identified with Atlanta so ciety has in itself imparted a certain and unusual interest . in the legisla tive body, socially speaking. The delightful reception which the Slatons gave soon after their occu pancy of the Executive Mansion served to introduce members of the lawmaking body to members of the social world 1 , and since then a num ber of affairs of the kind have helped along this social intercourse. Mr. and Mrs. William B. Burwell, the former Speaker of the House, have contributed largely to social pleasures with dinners and other affairs at tlieir temporary home, the town resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Howell, on Peachtree, which they have ^aken for the sumrter. Mrs. Burwell is a charming woman, pretty and clever, and she has made many friends in Atlanta. The Burwells are usually guests at the regular club affairs of the week, and give many small par ties themselves. The family of Representative Du- Bose, from Clarke,- are spending the summer here, having apartments at the Majestic, as they did last year. Miss DuBose is making a series of visits to various friends, however, and as the guest of Mrs. Hughes Spald ing was the honor guest at most of last week’s parties. The absence of her younger sister. Jennie DuBose. who was much admired by Atlanta society last summer, and v who figured in a romantic marriage soon after she went home, Is generally regretted The DuBoses are identified with Ath ens’ social life, and as a matter of course are already well known here. Then there is Mrs. Samuel Garling- ton, of Augusta, who is here for the summer, her husband being one of the very active members of the Legisla ture. As Mary Cozart, of Washing ton, Gh., this charming young ma tron was accounted almost of Atlan ta before her marriage. She is very popular in Atlanta, as in Augusta, and both she and her husband are al- wayg at the club dinner dances and other affairs of the season while they live in Atlanta. They also have a party ments at the Majestic. * * • a IT GUST A has been very kind of late, for several of the very charming matrons of that city have been lending keen interest to Atlanta’s social life with their pres ence. Mrs. B. S. Dunbar, one of the handsomest women of the State, Is here for a month or so, with Mrs George Boynton, on an annual visit which always delights her friends. Mrs. Hinton J. Baker. who was Miss Emma Robinson, of Atlanta. Is here for quite a while, accompanied by her handsome young son. They are with Mrs. Baker’s parents on Pied mont avenue, and she has been much entertained at the many affairs where Augusta visitors have been honor guest* Maity of the lawmakers are genial fellows, in a social sense, and after the strife and work of the day they become very welcome members of the social club colony, and some of them can turkey trot with the best. Shelby Myrlck, of Savannah, who is a leading "beau” of his home city, is accounted a very able member of the House, and, I suDnose, has a very dignified presence there. Later on in the evening he has a fine time, and bids fair to become as popular with Atlanta's young women fs he is with Savannah’s fair contingent. Shelby i$ not an Adonis, but he has a win ning way with him. and he knows how to talk to. the girls, as well as to the General Assembly of Georgia. Colonel Min ter Wimberly, of Ma con, is a general favorite, and the only thing Atlanta has against him is that he is not accompanied on this stay by his lovely wife, who is one of Geor gia's weli-known society women. Hon. John T. Boifeuillet is one of the most popular men in Georgia and has hosts of friends here as well as everywhere he goes. He is one of the few men I ever saw’ who is a favorite with the fair sex and with the men as well. I don’t know* how he manages it, but everybody who knows him will vouch Cpr this unusual and noteworthy achievement in the Clerk of the House of Representatives • • • KNOW a number of charming wom en in this city who court the god dess Nicotine. They do not smoke in public, of course, but in the pri vacy of their boudoir they are not averse to puffing at a fragrant cig arette. Smoking by women, I do not think, can be justified in any way. It is true that they have as much moral right to smoke as a man, but I be lieve that if I found that my best wmman friend was addicted to the w eed I would lose a great deal of my regard for her. In the large cities and in Europe smoking among women has become rather an established practice, and I am told It is now being carried to the ultra modern extreme of smoking cigars and even pipes. Of coy roe the cigars are not the regular huge affairs that men like so well, nor the pipes the hideous things that we see on the i streets. The pipe made especially for 1 women by a noted tobacconist is a little light w’ooden pipe called the i "Belgique.” It does not seem to me that this copying of man’s prerogatives marks an era of advance for women. It does not even have the excuse of originality that is advanced for the daring split skirts. Another thing I don’t understand is why men encourage women to smokt. They certainly do not do it out of chivalry and reverence. I read the other day of' a young lady w r ho em barked on a railway Journey and de manded the privileges of the smok ing compartment. A vote of the meii on the car was taken on the ques tion of whether or not she should be allowed to smoke. Nineteen men voted and eighteen of them decided in favor of allowing the young wom an to have her way. Blit it is the nineteenth of the assemblage that ha« mv respect and admiration. • • • BELIEVE I have seen more men wearing light clothes this sum mer than ever before. And 1 think for this climate the custom is a good and sensible one. I have often wondered how a man could wear the usual woolen suit, even of the thinnest variety, in the warm weather when it was all I could do to stand a peek-a-boo waist. I read of a club, formed in New York, the other day. with 150 charter members, of men who pledged them selves to wear thin white or linen colored suits in summer. You know it takes a lot of courage for a man to take up a novelty. Of course, novelty in style is the breath of life to wom en. but men risk being called dudes or snobs or something worse, w'hen they put on anything unusual, no matter how appropriate it may be. And men attach much importance to being “dressed right,” believe me. If a woman happens to find herself overdressed or wearing a plain suit when she should be wearing fluffy ruffles at some function, she will just ignore the fact, and try to carry off the inappropriate costume in a way to make the others feel that they are in the wrong. But a man is far too self-conscious for this—he grows mor© and more despondent as he looks down at his v^st, or his coat, or his tie. and compares them ner vously and aginatively with those of the men around him. He would cut and run if he dared. As he doesn’t dare, he remains sunk in gloom and despair. The fashion of wearing light suits in this part of the country has been popular for some time, although some of our best dressed men are faithful to the old style of dark coat —usually blue, with rream or white woolen trousers. Among these ad herents to conservatism are James H. Nunnally, Madison Bell and oth ers of the well-dressed men of At lanta. Robert F. Maddox wears a '“t v handsome suit of white with 9 tiny blue stripe at the Capital City Country Club affairs. Joe Gatins wears white suits nearly all the time in the summer. Gene Haynes wears all white—generally a serge suit, however. Colonel Peel wears white linen—at werrk or play. John W. Grant affects pale gray with white shoes. Frank Callaway wears a pale gray suit, which is a favorite also with the younger men. But the white tuxedos introduced by Morris Brandon and J. L. Dickey, Jr., are the most daring innovation I’ve heard of, in the tonsorlal novelties of At lanta's well dressed men. • • • W ELL, our good friend Pleasant » A. Stovall sailed last Tuesday on the Saxunia for his new home in Berne, Switzerland. It is thus we cast our bread upon the wa ters and it returns after many days. The reason for annointment of ths Georgia editor to the Consulate of Switzerland, I am supposing. dat*s from the days when President Wilson was a “pTomislne young lawyer,” and the editor of The Savannah Press was “on his side.” The debutante daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stovall, who bears the unusual and attractive name of her father. “Pleasant.” is already in Switzer land, and will be at Berne to greet her parents when they arrive. I hear that the Stovalls carried with them, as one of their valued pos sessions. the massive silver punch bowl and the silver cups, surmounted by the Swiss and American flags, w’hlch Colonel Stovall’s friends in Sa vannah presented to him a few day® before they left the city. The Berne establishment of this well-known couple will be a favorite place to visit by Georgians now on their foreign tours. Won't it be fine to come across this Georgia home 'n the midst of a long European tourZ \ 1 R. AND MRS. J. P. B. ALLAN I complimented their gueita. Misses Dorothy Robbins, of Birmingham, and Margaret Brans- ford, of Nashville, and Dr. an i Mrs. Charles Dowman with dinner •: the Capital City Country Club Thurs day evening. The table, which was set out on th. terrace, was adorned with red and yellow^ zinnias and the place cards w ere hand pal .ted in gay colors. Mrs. Allan wore a lovely gown of soft blue crepe, wii.i a leghorn hit draped in tulle and weighted wU.n pink roses. Miss Bransford was becomingly gowned in oink ‘harmeuse with dra peries of lace, and her picture hat was adorned with ^lnk and blue roses. Miss Robbing w’ore a Drecoll model of rose chiffon and princess lace with French nosegays as its only finish. Her rose-colored hat was exceeding becoming witn it* facing of light blue chiffon. Assembled for dinner were Mr. and Mrs. Julian Prade, Dr. and Mrs. Dow man, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Rushton. Misses Nellie iliser Stewart. Clifford West, Lillian Logan. Margaret Brans ford.

JAMES W. AUSTIN gave a pretty luncheon Thursday at her home on East Third street. Her sister, Mrs. W. B. Fender, of Val dosta, who is visiting her; Miss Mat- tie Wilson DuBose and Mrs. Edge- worth Lampkin, of Athens, the guests of Mrs. Hughes Spalding, were the honor guests of the ocrasion, the par ty being completed by Mrs. Hinton Baker, of Augusta, and Mrs. Clarence Blosser. Many old-fashioned garden flowers adorned the mantels in the room where the guests were received, and the table in the dining room held three quaint baskets of marigold and yellow zinnias. The handles of the baskets were tied with yellow tulle bows and placecards were hand- painted little baskets of gay flowers. Mrs. Austin was becomingly gown ed in a hand-embroidered gown of white crepe, and Mrs. Fender wore a stunning luncheon toilet of tan crepe with touches of blue. • • • M ISS MILDRED PIKE, of Thom- asrvllle, who is visiting Mrs. Hal Morrison, Jr., on Boulevard Circle, has been the recipient of sev eral informal little affairs during the past week. Tuesday afternoon Mr®. J. ,W. Nix entertained her bridge club In honor of Miss Pike. The house was elabo rately decorated with old-fashioned garden flowers.
