J I HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA.. SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1013. 3 H liss Mildred Hazen I Orange, X. .1^ who is the guest two young women have recently Miss Hazen has visited Atlanta here. (Photo by Hirshburg & of Miss Mignon McCarty. The returned from a trip abroad, before, and has many friends Phillips.) | NLESS all signs and portent* fail, the coming social season Is to be a brilliant one. The brides who are to figure in the calendar are numerous and prominent socially. We have heard definitely from a few of these, and there are more to come — in fact, some of the city’s most pop ular and most beautiful young women will be married next fall. Of course, the brilliancy of social life depends largely on the bridal at fairs, pre-nuptial parties and wed dings; hence the outlook along that line is more than promising—it is sure. Then the debutantes—the list of buds contains names of some of the finest girls in the South. In fact, I never knew a company of debu tantes with so many and so diversi fied accomplishments and graces as this year’s band possesses. There is something special about each of these girls, I verily believe— one sings divinely, another is unusu ally beautiful, another is a noted equestrienne, and so on. So much is required of a girl nowadays, anyway. The old-fashioned “parlor tricks’’ are at a discount. Young women >ot only go in for various sports or ac- complishments, but must excel in these in order to gain any special so cial prominence. And the debutantes of the coming v«*ar have seen to this requirement of a society girl, or their mothers have. I am inclined to think that the fact that these “buds” ha e charming and accomplished mothers, who are popu lar and prominent in society, is, after all. the real “open sesame” which has been given them for entrance into the gay world of social success. Just an enumeration of the debu tantes will bring visions of brilliant balls and other affairs this winter. There’s Margaret Grant, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Grant, and niece of Mrs. John Marshall Slaton; Katherine Ellis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ellis, who have a magnifi cent home in An cl ev Park; Adgate Ellis the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Ellis, also an Ansley Park belle; Eula Jackson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jack- son, and niece of Robert Maddox; Rosalie Davis, the lovely young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Da vis, and sister of MtS. Garvey Ander son and Mrs. Hudson Moore; Mary Allgood Jones, noted horsewoman and the athletic notable among the bev/ of “birds;” Callie Hoke Smith, daugh ter of Senator and Mrs. Hoke Smit 1, and Jessie McKee, dauehter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh McKee. I have heard of several debut balls in prospect, two at the Driving Club, one or two at the Capital City Club and others in the ballrooms "f private residences. The debutantes promise well—even as the brides. Of course, we will have the usual large affairs which brighten every season—the Nine O’Clocks. four of them and the Cotillion Club affair... and all of that of which more anon. I just want to say that if one finds the times dull right now, a look into the future will bring reassurance and anticipations of rose color. ... I DON'T know anything about poli- tics—in fact, I never could get even the rudimentary principles of that pastime through my frivolous head, but 1 certainly am glad that the turn of the wheel has brought success to Congressman Henry Clayton, of Eufaula, Ala. Governor O Neal has just appointed Mr. Clayton to be United States Senator to succeed Sen ator Johnston. . ... I don’t know Mr. Clayton, but I have met his wife, and any man worthy to be her husband is deserving of the highest honor his State could, give him. Mrs. Clayton Is one of the most charming women I have ever met. She is a hostess par excel ence, and never overlooks an opportunity to make friends welcome and happy. Not onlv in her own State Is she immense ly popular but in Washington and all the other cities where she has vis- she was selected last year as chair man of the Dolly Madison breakfast, which was given in Washington a year ago, and her grace and charm were commented on by all the wives and relatives of the great Democrats of the country who were present She presided not only at the break fast, but at the many meetings, at which its details were organized, with a tact that contributed immensely to the success of the unique function. Mr. and Mrs. Clayton have an apartment in Washington at the Parkwood, where their home is a center of con tinuous hospitality. • • • W HILE writing of the water carni val at East Lake the thought came to me that swimming was never more popular in Atlanta. This is due in great part to Forrest Adair, whose hospitality has made his famous swimming pool so popu lar this summer. I understand that next summer will see several more of these private pools, now that the possibilities for summer entertainments have been so well demonstrated. Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Cooledge have already made a pool at their hand- some home on Peachtree road, and I understand that Colonel Willis Ra gan is planning for one it his home. The pools belonging to the folks on the Pace’s Ferry road have contrib uted their quota to the social calendar this summer. These private pools and the lakes at the country clubs are developing some fine swimmers in Atlanta., Mrs. Robert Maddox and Mrs. Will Tfiser are approaching the expert class. Mrs. Morris Brandon has only Just learned to swim this slimmer, although the ’’fringed grotto” wherein the Morris Brandon guests disport themselves was one of the first of the private pools in the city. Mrs. James D. Rob inson has been swimming this-sum mer for the first time in a number of years. Many people are learning, and others are perfecting themselves in swimming, di,v;ng. and so forth. * • • D ON’T you think (hat the most useful invention of the ages, after electricity and motor cars, was the postcard? What woulci we do about hearing from our wan dering families and friends, had wc no postcards—or rather, had they none? Time was when a woman would sit in the “writing room” at the summer hotel and write longand gossipy epistles to her friend or sweetheart. But in these days of strenuous summer social life one hardly has time to address the postcard bearing a scene of life on the ocean wave, or ihe summer hotel and write long ano glorified beyond any possible recog nition. But from a little anecdote which drifted down from Atlantic City re cently, I draw the conclusion that some girls do write back some time, even now. Two of the many charm ing girls now at the Beach were rest ing on the sands in an Interlude of jumping the big waves. “Fran I wants to hold my hand all the time,” said one of the girls to the other. “Well, is there any harm in that?” asked her friend. “But I need my hand occasionally—I have to write to Charlie sometimes.” AURA GRAVES, of New York, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Temple Graves, is to be a debutante this winter. Friends of mine have written me of the plans for the debutanfe. which inclue among other delightful events the entertainment of several house par ties of Atlanta and College Park friends during the season. Mr. Graves has taken a house in New York, and will entertain the Georgia guests there. This summer the Graveses have been occupying a bungalow in the Adirondack? and have had guests from this city and from College Park, their old home, with them from time to time. You will all be glad to know, I am sure, that Callie Hoke Smith, who is counted in the bouquet of Wash ington’s “bud?,” will first make her debut at home. She has been very anxious for this, and her mother has planned to come to Atlanta early in October so that Callie can “come out” here first, later going to Washington for debut parties. You know the Hoke Smith girls are very loyal to Atlanta and “home,” despite their social triumphs else where, and it is» characteristic oT the youngest daughter of the household to insist on having a debut in At lanta. By the way. the two sisters, Lucy and Callie. are to be at Tox- away for a while, going. I believe on the 18th. Mrs. Rondal Ransome ex pects to join them there, and the girls v* ill accompany her hoftie when she comes in September. It will be the first visit made to Atlanta by Lucy in more than a year, and sh*> will be welcomed right royally, for she is a leader of one of Atlanta’s jolly contingents when she is at home. Speaking of Washington folk. I am reminded that the William Baiiey Lamars are again changing their place of residence You know of the beautiful Italian villa they had spen f so much thought and time and mon ey on. and which was just about ready for occupancy, out on thf j Pace’s Ferry road, when they decided to move to Washington, where they have a prominent and interesting set of friends. They bought a heme there, and have just settled down comfortably when the assumption of his duties as United States Commissioner to the Panama Exposition has taken him and his charming wife to San Fran cisco. for a residence of some length. • • • A TLANTA friends of Mrs. Allen Potts, of Albemarle County, Vir ginia, will be interested in her recent success as a horsewoman. Mrs. Potts, you will all recall, takes little stock In the sartorial display of the horse shows whlcn she attends. She is a fine rider, is devoted to her horses and spends most of her time in the saddle, and consequently she always appears at the horse show in her smart riding habit. Mrs. Potts is an advocate of the side-saddle, and one of the few women now riding ’n horse shows who is. for the present generation prefers the cross saddle, de spite the disapproval of King George of England—if they know anything about King George’s likes and dis likes. which isn’t likely. When Mrs. Potts was in Atlanta, she often occupied a box with Atlanta friends, but she Invariably wore her sporting togs. She and her famous sister, the Princess Troubetzkov, learned to ride when they were happy care-free Virginia girls, and both ar? fearless riders. At the Greenbrin White Horse Show Mrs. Potts will be a conspicuous rider and exhibitor. H«r beautiful horse. Bracken Rose, which recently carried off four blue ribbons in the Albemarle Horse Show and several prizes in the recent Washing ton Horse Show, will be entered, as well as others. • * * r , ROM across the Pacific I have gathered pleasant news concern ing a former Atlanta woman and her life in Shanghai, China. Lieu tenant and Mrs. Royal Ingersoll, who left Atlanta some time ago in obe dience to the commands of Uncle Sam. have arrived in China and were delighted to find that their lines wwl lie in pleasant places during their so journ there—in other words, they will live in Shanghai, with its extensive English. French and American p< ou- lation. instead of having to go to some of the totally foreign cities. Lieutenant Ingersoll will be on th. 1 flagship Saratoga, and the couple will have apartments at a beautiful hotel in the English quarter of Shanghai. As Mrs. Ingersoll left Atlanta with numerous letters to mutual acquaint ances of her friends here and friends in Shanghai, she will immediately be introduced into th# charming soci •.! life of the English quarter and of the army in Shanghai. • • • I WAS in a party at the Piedmont Driving Club the other night when a young man arose from a table and started out. His flushed face and unsteady gait showed that he had been partaking a trifle too freely of the cup that cheers. Some one of the party I was with commejite.d on his appearance and this started an argument the sub ject of which was "When is a man intoxicated?” There were numerous replies made, most of them facetious, but the argument ended when a young man gravely pronounced his opinion that "a man is not intoxi cated as long as he can lie on the floor without holding on.” He was awarded the palm. • • • I DON'T know many men who are averse to marrying a girl with a lot of money. And after they have married her. those I know seem to take it as a natural course to spend that monej or a part of it. But I heard last week of one man in this town who simply could not stand the twittering of his friends because he had married a woman with money. In fact, I understand, the knowing smiles and gentle sarcasm of his well-meaning friends literally drove him and his bride out of town. They did not want to leave Atlanta and they were building a beautiful resi dence just outside of town. But that residence has never been completed and is already on the market for sale, while the sensitive man and his wealthy wife nave moved to a distant city, where friends are kinder. • * • , . S ^I.\N new to Atlanta attendee one of our largest churches last Sunday with his wife. It was Obvious that they were strangers and after the service the pastor hur ried down to shake the newcomers by the hand and to invite them to attend regularly. „ "I liked your sermon immensely, said the new 7 attendee, having been nudged by his wife. “I am more than pleased, beamed the parson. ’’Which pari did you like the best?” , “That part where I dreamed I had a million dollars!” said the new comer ere his wife had a chance to nudge him again. * * * HEAR that a young married couple who have gone vacationing to a famous Virginia report carried along all the paraphernalia of fashion, and are well equipped to sustain At lanta's reputation for a sartorial dis play. My informant tells me that the lady in question, who is a very charming young married woman with good looks and social graces, carried 65 gowns of the latest mode in the trunks which accompanied her to her destination. And her husband, not to be outdone by the variety of his wife's wardrobe, carried 32 suits in his luggage. I have only to add that they both include two dozen varieties of new steps in the ir turkey-trotting reper toire to give you assurance that they will be among the most popular peo ple at the resort they have honored with their presence this summer. • • • M adame sarah bernhardt. I believe, is one of / the most wonderful women the worl3 has ever known. The Divine Sarah, though now a great-grandmother, is never idle. Her wonderful vitality and energy keep her hands and mind constantly busy. When she is not charming us with her wonderful act ing. she is doing something else of a useful or artistic nature. Right now she is employing her vacation by carving a monument for the embellishment of her own tomb. The ^striking character of this wo man is well illustrated by the fact that for this tomb she has bought a desolate island off the coast of Brittany. She is working hard on a clay- sketch of the complete conception, with a young Breton woman as a model. The 'atter is sworn to si lence. and the design of the monu ment is kept a profound secret. It is said, however, by Mme. Bernhardt’s friends to be simple yet strangely moving in idea. The tragedienne is reported to have said a short time ago that she had a horror of in trusting the creation of the monu ment to anybody' else. Of course. I would not recommend any such labor as this, but I some times wish, that some of my frivo lous Atlanta sisters could emulate the industry of this remarkable French woman. G overnor john m. slaton and Mrs. Slaton contribute to social life with many informal affairs. One of the affairs of this kind which took place last week was a small dinner in honor of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Burwell, and another was a pretty luncheon which Mrs Slaton gave in honor of a visitor. Mrs. Charles Donnally, of Pennsyl vania. Mrs. Donnally is a former Atlan tan and made her debut in society the same season that Mrs. Slaton made her bow. The two have been great friends ever since. Mrs. Don nally is the guest of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Stocking. Among those invited to meet her at the luncheon given by Mrs. Sla ton at the Executive Mansion were Mrs. Robert J. Lowry. Mrs. Clark Howell. Mrs. James D. Robinson, Mrs. Walter Andrews, Mrs. VV. H. Kiser. Mrs. Albert Howell. Mrs. James L. Dickey, Mrs. W. D. Grant and Miss Stocking. * * • M R. AND MRS. FRANK ADAIR’S first party since their return from a stay' in Europe, was an event of the past week. Of course, the affair was a swimming party, the guests going out for a dip in the beautiful pool on the Forrest Adair estate in Druid Hills, at 7 o’clock on Tuesday, the swimming party being followed by supper at tlie home of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Adair. It has become the custom of the hospitable Adairs to entertain these swimming parties each Tuesday evening, sometimes one and then an other couple being hosts of the oc casion. The Frank Adairs had quite an elaborate party, the guests being seated for supper at it long table, decorated in pink and mauve asters, arranged in silver vases down the length of the table. The sun parlor was open to guests and the library also, vases of gladioli being used to impart a festive air to the last-named apartment. Mrs. Adair, the hostess, was most attractive, wearing one of her new French gowns, a cream white chif fon frock, belted in old blue, with sash ends of blue and cream chiffon. Among the guests of the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Simmons. Mr. and Mrs. John E. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. James L. Dickey, Jr.. Mr. and Mrs. John K. Ottley, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes Spalding, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Smith, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hopkins, Jr.. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Ransome, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. King. Dr. and Mrs. Shallenberger.
