PEAKING for about everyone
who remains in town, there are
only three smbjecta of interest
—the weather, the fashions and
whether the “turkey trot" and "tan
go" will continue supreme favorites
with the social set this winter. (Of
course, for garnishment on the side
of this feast of reason and flow of
soul, are the little stories which be
gin, “Have you heard that ?”)
The weather can be dismissed as
not being Avorthy of discussion. It
isn’t when it's equable, and it can’t
be discussed politely when the tem
perature ranges around the 90 degree
mark. As to the dancing fad, most
everybody agrees that the new steps
will remain in favor and grow in
popularity for several seasons to
come.
Despite the awful things said about
it at firsit. the one-step has been
adopted by almost everyone now. 1
dare say the waltz met with Just
about as much abuse as the one-step
when it was first introduced; in fact,
I seem to remember to have read as
much somewhere, some time.
About clothes—ah. that’s a subject
of never-ending interest. Since Eve
built that green-leaf creation women
have been interested in clothes, and
especially at the change of the sea
sons. Now, it appears that men have
become quite as much interested as
women in women’s fashions. Surely
never before have women’s clothes
been so much discussed by men,
women and children as now.
The “wave of undressing” has
swept the world, from Samoa to
Charleston, S. C., and everybody has
become engulfed in its fascination.
Time was when the Samoan belles
“had it on” the conservative beauties
of Charleston. S. C. But that time is
no more.
Not that I intend any criticism on
the women’s clothes in Charleston,
S. C., but I select that city as the
most conservative, that I know of,
and point out that even that city has
succumbed to Fashion’s dictates.
From Paris, London, New York come
accounts of the fashions adopted by
the women of the haute monde that
makes the once thrilling account of
the Roman ladles’ splendiferous jew
els and scant draperies read like a
page from a Greeley weekly. With
the daughter of a hundred earls danc
ing before the mixed audience of a
New York roof garden or a London
variety stage, clad only in a single
diaphanous garment of silver gauze,
her limbs bare from toe to hip, her
shapely shoulders guiltless of cover,
her blender waist free from stays or
other confinement, you would think
the limit was in sight.
But I hear rumors that this is not
so. Whether or not the wintry winds
will blast Fashion*s decrees, I know
not, but they DO say, at the present
time, that milady of the ultra-smart
6et will trip about this winter clad in
a few hundred thousand dollars’ worth
of pearls, a smile and three yards of
flesh-colored tulle. And her sister of
slenderer purse will even up by wear
ing chiffon and rhinestones—which is
as revealing as tulle and pearls,
thereby exposing the wearer to the
risk of pneumonia and arrest, even as
the costlier raiment.
I was looking over a fashion book
the other day and came across a
charming toilet which displayed al
most all the loveliness that the wear
er possessed. Across the top of the
picture the conservative editor had
written: “More suitable for the
drawing room than the street.”
“Huh!” ejaculated the bachelor who
wa4 looking over my shoulders. “I
would say. ‘More suitable for the
boudoir than the drawing room.”
Then the 12-year-old kiddie who had
Jumped up to look at the picture, too.
impelled by that powerful force—a
child’s curiosity in grown people’s in
terests—settled the matter by remark
ing, “Seems to me like it’s more suit
able for the bathroom than any place
else!”
• • •
A straw that seems to point which
way the wind will blow the present
styles was observed in London last
week, when the early arrival of win
ter routed all appearance of the sum
mer in women’s toilets. With the
first blast from the north low necks
and thin gowns disappeared under
coats and fur boas, and all things
diaphanous ran before the advance
agent of blustering November.
Atlanta women adopt all the ca
prices of fashion and wear them
well indeed. I have not seen any
of the really smart women wear the
extreme styles on the street, though
they give themselves more latitude in
their homes and at the clubs, where
only members of their own world are
present. For the most part, Atlanta’s
smart women wear conservative
clothes on the street. It is not the
really smart woman one sees about
town in extreme decollete gowns, ex
tremely tight slit skirts, extremely
thin petticoats. One sees many wo
men thus costumed—but not the
smart women.
I heard one of the wealthiest girls
in Atlanta say last winter that she
had only two kinds of costumes—
tailored suits and evening gowns. She
never wears “dressy” toilets on the
streets, and she is always ultra-smart
In appearance.
I will continue this serial on fash
ion in the next issue!

S N Atlanta girl who recently
spent me time in New York
was noced before her departure
for her conservatism and her strict
adherence to the old-fashioned traits
of modesty, reserve and so forth. Up
on her return, she is quoted as saying
to the young men who called upon
her:
“I’ve been in New York so long I’ve
taken on the New York way of en
joying life, and now I’m ready for
anything you like.”
U this is the way a stay in New
York affects our girls I am in favor
of keeping ’em at home. I am re
minded toy this girl’s remark of some
thing I onee heard of Paris visitors:
“There ar$ two classes of American
girl* who Malt Paris—those who go
out ^>ne on the streets, and those
who a*, jot.'
two kinds of girls who go to New
York and some home as they went
or—otherwise—the girl who goes
properly chaperoned and the girl who
goes alone, or stays alone. Of all
imprudence I can think of, on the
part of mothers, that of letting their
daughters stay in New York unchap
eroned is about the worst, in my
Judgment.
And what I say of New York ap
plies to many other places—summer
resorts in particular.
I believe in chaperonage—not car
ried to the extent that European so
ciety requires, but a proper super
vision over young girls, and proper
advice and care as to their associates,
new acquaintances and their own
conduct Of course, girls will be girls,
and that is right—I would not cut off
one of the pleasures that come to
a girl’s life, but there are sorrows
that can come, too, and it is the part
of the chaperon—mother or kinswo
man or friend of the family—to pro
vide all the pleasure possible for her
charge and to ward off the possibil
ities of trouble.
I hear that a well-known Atlanta
girl who has spent some time on a
New' York visit was the recipient
daily of a large bouquet of orchids,
violets, or other costly flowers. She
is not engaged to any one who could
send her such an offering, as every
one knew—consequently the question
has arisen: “Who sends her all
those wonderful flowers every day.”
The question is repeated and repeated
and gains weight with every repe
tition.
New York isn’t very far from At
lanta, you know, not so far as Ope
lika, Ala., when Madame Rumor is
on the line. The girl was alone, and
for that reason this one little ques
tion has weight. Had she been prop
erly chaperoned the flowers wouldn’t
talk so loudly.
T 1
HERE’S a mighty pretty girl in
town who belongs to the army
of' women who earn their daily
bread, and, moreover, Knows exactly
how to take care of herself. Being
young and pretty and in a position
which brings her in contact with a
number of the leading young men of
the city, she has been accorded much
attention from them.
Most of this is met with a smiling
but firm refusal, but after a while
she got tired of refusing the atten
tions of two w'ell-known young men
whom all of us know. The two boys,
not being accustomed to having thbir
attentions refused by any girls—so
ciety girls or business girls—could
not understand that this girl’s “no”
meant “no.**
Not that they had asked for much—
an auto ride being the utmost desire
they had expressed But they pro
posed a jaunt again and again, and
Anally the girl decided to teach them
a lesson. So she agreed to go on a
ride—last Monday night, I think It
was—promising to get another girl
friend, the four to make a Jolly party.
She gave the boys an address. )T
course, and they proceeded with ar
rangements for a happy time. They
got up a luncheon and plenty of gar
nishments on the side. One of them
borrowed father’s limousine. In due
time the boys whizzed out to the ad
dress given. They found a vacant lot,
where there should have been two
smiling girls aw'aiting them. They
searched and searched around about,
knocked on doors and had everybody
in the neighborhood exasperated.
Then they phoned the girl’s home
and w’ere answ’ered bv members of
the family w’ho had been instructed.
“Oh, she’s not here; she’s spending
the night with Mamie, at (such anJ
such an address).”
The boys looked at the address they
had, and found it to be the same . s
that given over the phone, and they
took up the search again. Those bovs
drove around till 11 o’clock or there
abouts, then ate the luncheon alone
and went home.
The next morning one of them
called up the giTl and was met with a

M ARGUERITA SHONTS. the
young daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Theodore Shonts, is hav
ing a great time at Deauville this
season. You will know’ that Deau
ville is the most brilliantly gay of
all the gay French watering places,
rivaled only by Trouville, its close
and jealous neighbor. The season Is
very brief, only a few weeks, and in
that time is crowded many glitter
ing social affairs and the high and
mighty of all Europe, together with
the w’ealth and beauty of the United
States, gather there.
The particularly ^rilliant social suc
cess of the Shonts girls is a source
of much pride to their Atlanta frienis.
No American girls I know' of have
had a more successful career in Euro
pean society than these tw r o—Ma~-
guerita and her older sister, the
Duchess de Chaulnes.
I note that Marguerita was one
of the most brilliantly gow’ned gues*s
at the Grand Prix in Deauville, which
was the climax of the season. Like
most of the guests, she wore white
which in her costume was combined
with ochre. Some combination of
w’hite. or all white, was noted in the
gow’ns of nearl all the notables pres
ent, among whom w’ere the Duchess
of Marlborough in white Aubergine
silk, Mrs. Potter Palmer in white
crepe, Mrs. Craig Biddle in white
lace, and so on. All the members of
the Shonts family are at Deauville.

I HEAR that Miss Anne Akers, the
charming young daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. S. Akers, of Piedmont
avenue, will be added to the list of
debutantes for the coming season.
Miss Akers is one of the few' in the
debutante set who has not entered
conspicuously in society during her
school days, her parents having fol
lowed the English and French custom
of keeping their young daughter
rather quiet until the time came for
her formal entrance into society.
Miss Akers is very talented and
clever, and has recently returned
from New York, where she has been
a student at Columbia. She is tall,
and has dark eyes and hair -a typical
Southern beauty? Her mother was
Miss Howie, one of Atlanta’s belles
and beauties before her marriage.
I haven’t heard of the plans which
Mr. and Mrs. Akers have formulated
as to the debut of their young daugh
ter. but there will be several delight
ful affairs for her, I am sure, and she
will be a charming member of the
debutante set this winter.
• * *
S S the women gather together on
the porches of a hotel at one
of Virginia's popular sprines
the veterans often tell to newcomers
the story of a little French visitor
quite a few years ago.
The springs are locwted near a con
servative little Virginia town, where
modes and morals are rather passed
upon by the v. g.’s (village gossips),
and the young men are true products
of such a social system.
Therefore, when the little French
girl, with the big French poodle, came
to spend the summer at the springs,
she made quite a sensation. It did
not take long for the news to spread
through the tow’n. One of the boys
dared to say she could swear. Yes;
he even had heard her. What was
to be done? Here was a girl, pretty
and attractive, if she could just be
cured of her French ways. But there
was one among the bunch brave
enough to tackle the task. He allowed
that he would give them all a sur
prise, and the girl such a big one
that she would hold her breath.
When the week-end came around
thfey betook themselves, as customary,
to the springs, and with them the
hero who was to spring the surprise.
Arrived at the springs he could hard
ly wait for an introduction, but when
at last "his hour had come,” he broke
forth with the exclamation "I’m d—n
glad to meet you.”
For one brief moment the little lady
looked startled—but only for a mo
ment. Imagine the surprise of the
young man w hen she flashed back at
him:
“The devil you are?”
And how did it end? Why they
married, of course, and she and her
dog and her French ways and ex
pressions became prominent assets
of the little town over there.
* * *
O NE of the boys of the* “debutante
set”—(he's not a debutante, but
the girls he likes are, you know)
—had an awful time at the Forsyth
TheateT on “society night” this past
week. He had an engagement with
one of the prettiest of the debutantes
of his acquaintance.
But, alas, he reckoned without his
belt—that is, he reckoned with his
belt. It so happened that he was
detained by business and had to hur
ry with his sartorial preparations,
and he forgot to put on his belt. By
the time he arrived at the girl’s home
he had become sensible of the fact
that his trousers and his soft silk
shirt had no affinity for each other,
without the tie. that generally binds.
Although considerably embarrassed to
make such a request, the exigencies
of his predicament prompted the
young man to ask the girl for the
loan of one of her brother’s belts for
the evening. She could not locate a
belt, so the couple w'ent to the thea
ter, the man in great agony of mind,
but seemingly calm and untroubled so
long as they stayed on the street car.
Once In the theater, his agonies of
apprehension were emphasized by one
of the actors, who, you will all re
call—the man who lost a button--etc.
After the show the troubled young
man and the debutante went to a soda
fount, of course. Th^-y couldn’t get
a table, so ho leaned against the
counter—pret -e»l r n ;ainst the coun
ter. indeed. Then out upon the street
the car was late—as usual—and
things were all going wrong. wh°n
a friend came along up Peachtree
in his car. He was hailed, the situa
tion explained, and the young couple
helped into the tonneau and taken
home safe, I suppose. There was
one very chagrined man In town,
though, who spent two days there
after reflecting on how hi** evening
was ruined by a measly old 50-cent
bolt!
' |'HE regular weekly dinner-dance
I at the Capital City Country Club
Thursday evening, the week-end i
dinner-dance at the Piedmont Driv- j
ing Club Saturday evening and the j
water sports at East Lake Saturday
evening were the largest affairs of the j
week. In spite of the absence of i
many members of Atlanta society I
from the city, these affairs were well
attended, and greatly enjoyed, the 1
lack of formal entertaining at this |
season making them doubly accepta- i
ble.
At the Capital City Club dinner was'
served on the broad piazza overlook- j
ing the lake. The tables were deco
rated with brlght-hued coleus, cr
dwarf sunflowers, and in addition to
those dining at the club many other
members motored out for the infor
mal dance which followed.
Several parties of ten each were en
tertained on this occasion. Mr. an 1
Mrs. Charles E. Sciple being hosts at
a dinner party,of ten covers. Their
guests were Mrs. Lee Lew man. Mrs.
John Kiser. James H. Nunnally and |
E. P. M. Burney.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Bridges en- |
tertained a party of ten in honor of
their guest. Miss Mary llell Hixon.
of Americ.ua, and for Miss Annie Lou
Pagett’s guest. Miss Carol Dean, of
Gainesville.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Austin en
tertained a party of. ten. and parties
of six were entertained by Joseph
Colquitt, Arthur Clarke, William
Dickey and W. B. McBurney. Other
small parties were entertained by Mr.
and Mrs. John King Ottley, and Eu
gene Haynes, E. H. Thorn welt, Ham
ilton Douglas, Jr., Dr. and Mrs. W.

mett Day of New York, Charles Sol-
pie, J. D. Osborne, Cater Woolford.
Carl Ramspeck and Lynn Werner.
The water sports at the East Lake
Country Club and the week-end din
ner-dance at the Piedmont Club at
tracted many guests Saturday even
ing. An orcheslra played during din
ner at the Piedmont Club, and later
there was dancing. A number of din
ner parties were given, and the usual
beautiful decorations prevailed at the
club.
Hundreds of club members and
their friends enjoyed the exciting wa
ter sports at the East Lake Country
Club, many remaining for dinner. The
ballroom was crowded for the dance
which followed dinner, the ban having
been lifted at this club upon "turkey-
trotting.”
The winners for the quarter-mile
swimming race for girls, the 50-yard
swimming race and the fancy diving
races were wa mlv congratulated, and
the trophies—a silver vase, donated
bv A1 Doonan, and a silver medal,
donated by uie club members—were
greatly admired. Some of the prom
inent girls of the city took part In
these water snorts, the list of en
trants including Misses Lyda Nash,
Helen Thorn. Ellen O’Keefe, Nora
Stirling. Alexa Stirling, Regina Ram-
bo. Priscilla Patton and the Misses
Duncan.
• • •
O NE of the most interesting events
of the week, which was marked
by unusual social quietude, was
the informal tea given Thursday aft
ernoon by Mrs. Ronald Ransom. Miss
Sal lie Cobb Hull, whose marriage to
Philip Weltner will be one of the first
of the fall weddings, was guest of
honor, and fourteen young women
were invited to meet her.
Mrs. Ransom entertained at the
Piedmont Club; the gue-sts being seat
ed at a large round table placed on
the ballroom porch. Four large vases
of yellow' marigolds adorned the ta
ble, and little gold baskets of yellow
bonbons were used.
The guests wmre the smartest o'
airy summer toilets. Miss Hull, the
nonor guest, wrs very attractive in a
frock of pink embroidered crepe

Frank Adair, who recently has re
turned from abroad, wore a French
gown of white crepe, smartly fash

velvet hat. Mrs. William Pope, of
Santa Fe X. Mex.. was gowned in a
French toilet of pale green crepe with
touches of pale lavender on the cor
sage. A small hat of black tulle and
velvet completed the toilet.
Mrs. Charles T. Hopkins, Jr., a
bride of the spring, was charmingly
gowned in white crepe, worn with a
little pink coat and a smart hat of
black. Mrs. Ransom’s costume of
mustard-colored crepe had a black
girdle and touches of blue, and was
worn with a black hat.
Mrs. William Schroder, w’ho was
being cordially welcomed on her re
turn from New York, was attractive
in an all-white costume, worn with a
big white hat.
