O NE of the pretty affalris of the
week was the "bon voyage"
luncheon tendered Miss Louise
Broyles on Wednesday by Mrs. George
Brine. Miss Broyles and Miss Isabel
Robinson, who is in Canada with her
parents, sail Saturday for Europe,
where they will attend the Yeatman
School, near Paris. In many details
of the luncheon the approaching ocean
voyage was suggested.
On a large oval mirror, wreathed In
smilax, was a miniature ship in full
sail—the body of the vessel formed
of pink rosebuds and white petunias,
and its sails of pink silk. Hand-
painted cards, in the form of sail
boats, rested upon the goblet at each
plate, and little trunks, tied with
white ribbons and filled with bonbons,
were souvenirs for each guest.
At each end of the table stood a
large vase of Killamey roses, and the
place of the honor guest was marked
by a beautifully bound book, destined
to contain an account of her voyage
and of her stay abroad, In which each
guest inscribed her name with an
appropriate good wish. The ices were
molded in the form of little ships,
bearing the United States flag, and,
at the close of the luncheon, a loving
cup was passed and many toasts
drunk to the honor guest, who is one
of the popular young girls of the
city.
The popularity of the white cos
tume, relieved by a gay colored sash,
was shown at this luncheon, as, with
one or two exceptions, each young
girl wore a toilet of white.
Broyles was lovely in white point
d'esprlt, with sash and girdle of apple
green, the becoming costume complet
ed by a big black picture hat.
Miss Dorothy Arkwright’s girlish
costume was also white point d'esprlt,
her hat being formed of the same
airy material, banded in blue, and
having one large pink rose in front.
Another lovely toilet of white point
d'esprlt was worn by Miss Helen Mc
Carty, the only touch of color in her
costume being seen In the hat, which
was formed of yellow lace, in the
mushroom shape.
Miss Margaret McCarty's costume
of white crepe was embroidered in
tiny pink roses, and worn with a sash
of alice blue satin, and a little hat of
domed with rib
bons to match her girdle.
Miss Dorothy High was in white
lingerie, worn over a slip of pink silk,
and her white hat was laden with pink
roses. Miss Virginia Lipscomb’s
gown of coral colored ratine was worn
with a smart little upturned hat. Miss
Mary Burr Lake wore white lingerie,
bordered in blue silk and worn with
an all white hat.
Mrs. Brine, the hostess, was gowned
In white embroidered crepe, with an
all black hat. Mrs. Arnold Broyles
also wore white embroidered crepe,
her black hat adorned with a bird of
paradise. Mrs. Thomas Philip Hin-
rnan’s handsome costume of ciel blue
crepe had touches of black, and was
finished with a black girdle, and her
leghorn hat was faced in pink and
adorned with plnfl! roses. Mrs. J. D.
McCarty was gowned in white em
broidered linene, with a small white
hat.
The luncheon was given at the Pied
mont Club, and several of the girls
remained for the informal tea, at
which Miss Margaret McCarty enter
tained In honor of Miss Broyles, fol
lowing the luncheon. The group of
eight or ten young girls were seated
for tea at a round table placed on
the terrace and decorated with gay
summer flowers.
On Friday Miss Dorothy Arkwright
entertained a few schoolmates at
luncheon at the club in honor of Miss
Broyles.

otherwise. Callle Hoke Smith, the
debutante daughter of Senator and
Mrs. Hoke Smith, is slated to make
her debut this winter, and, con
trary to what many a girl would do,
she will make It in Atlanta, her home
city. Senator and Mrs. Smith have
possibly the largest social following
of any of the Southerners in Wash
ington. and a debut made under such
auspices could not fail to be a bril
liant affair, especially as the Smiths)
will continue to make their home in
Washington for the next several
years. And yet. despite the glitter
and glamour of a Washington debut,
Miss Smith has decreed to return to
Atlanta and ‘come out’ among her old
home friends.”

Incidentally, young gentlemen, how
would you like to win a girl like that?
“Paradise Hall” showed signs of
abandoning that delightful abode of
bachelors, in Ansley Park. The latest
delinquent is Dr. Arch Elkin, whose
engagoment is announced to-day to
Amelia Sturgeon. You see I know
whereof T speak—sometimes! The
engagement of Miss Sturgeon and
Dr. Elkin has been kept n secret, too
—more than most engagements. Gen
erally all of us know about engage
ments anywhere from six months to
six weeks before they are announced
—and often we know a year before, if
the young people themselves know so
far ahead. But few rumors of this
engagement have leaked out. and l
suppose lots of folks will be surprised.
The wedding will add another inter
esting event to the long list which we
are to attend this winter.

we have been used to seeing, and
hanging in a loop nearly to the
waist line. Mrs. Frank Adair and
Miss Leone L&dson, who, by the way,
have been wearing some beautiful
toilets since their return, have used
these necklaces with afternoon and
evening costumes.
The fashion is really an exquisite
one for a woman who has a fine com
plexion. for the uearls impart an add
ed fairness to tile skin.
By the way, I think charming Mrs.
Adair was very much improved by
her extended stay abroad, Judging
from her looks She and her sister.
Leone—the two being together at
nearly all the summer affairs—are
among the prettiest and most beau
tifully gowned women at any of the
social affairs they attend. At East
Lake the other afternoon I noticed
that with the pearl necklaces both of
the sisters wore white. Mrs. Adair’s
gown was of the simplest in cut, with
most up-to-date lines — drooping
shoulders, draped skirt, decollete neck
with soft ruffles and fashioned of
white crepe. Miss Ladson wore a
wonderful lingerie creation, which
seemed to be made entirely of hand-
embroldered mull or something of the
kind, and trimmed sparingly with
thread lace.
ing that she wants Atlanta to know
how much attention the aforesaid
young woman has been receiving—
even Vincent Astor being muchly im
pressed—“simply crazy about her,”
was what her fond friend said. I am
sure if this paragraph reaches the
Newport young women who are cher
ishing hopes of young Astor. and his
fortune, they will be vastly distressed.

I ET me tell you a good Joke on a
popular young married man of
the city. He is a clever young
fellow, with as pretty and charming a
wife as there is in town. Both of
them have been used to all the lux
uries that the families of successful
professional men enjoy, and so it has
been rather hard for them to learn
the economies necessary in the me
nage of a young professional man at
the beginning of his career.
Being clever and put upon his met
tle by necessity, the young man has
adopted the method of giving checks
and “beating it” to the bank—oy not
“beating it,” Just as the stat£ of his
finances would allow. These checks
hadjbeen turned down so ipany times
the young man’s friends had been
chaffed a bit about his high? financier
ing Of course, the checks were made
good In the long run. but they weren’t
considered bo desirable as ready
money.
One day the young man went Into
the store of a friend and said: “Say,
T , can you change a $10 bill for
me?” “Oh. yes.” responded T ,
with suspicious alacrity, and he hand
ed out a $?> bill and one of the checks
which his friend had given him and
failed to overtake before it got to the
bank.
“I guess that’s all right?” he asked,
and the ’‘entrapped” young man had
to nod a forlorn assent!
W ELL, haven’t we been reading
the rumors about Theodora
Shunts—the young Duchess De-
Ohaulnes, that is? “They say” tha:
she is to marry a young French Beat
Brummel, you know-—but I thinl<
"they” are reckoning without father
And Frenchmen never marry withoui
reckoning with father! M. Four-
quieres, the man in the case, is knowi,
as ihe great French dandy. He won
fame of a kind, In this country, by a
aeries of lectures on dress M Four-
quieres has an enviable social posi
tion also, and when in the States h-

By the way. Jt seems that charming
Genevieve (’lark has made quit* a
hit on the other side. Reports say
that not for years has an American
girl so taken the capitals and social
centers of Europe as has the pretty
and clever daughter of Champ Clark
She is a new type of girl in Europe,
you see, for beside being charmed so
cially, Miss Clark is interested in pol
itics and versed in statecraft and
other serious matters. Miss Clark
will be a debutante In Washington
this winter, which reminds me that
the decision of Callie Hoke Smith to
make her "first debut” at home ha.
met with general commendation. 1
told you of this decision some tlrru
ago in these columns, and since then
I have read several articles on ilu
subject in papers over th* State Last

following to say on the subject:

1 1 afternoon were analyzing the
rather Interesting subject “love.” The
discussion became heated, and the
fair speakers waxed eloquent, but
somehow they could not agree, so
decided that each should write out in
as few words as possible her defini
tion. and an impartial judge made the
decision.
The following analysis won: “It
can be a noun, because it is both com
mon and proper. It can be a verb,
because it has tense—past, present
and future, being in the melancholy
mood and active voice. It can be a
pronoun, because it stands for many
things. You might say it’s a con
junction because it joins. In many
cases it Is an exclamation, but the
best definition of all la an interroga

D AME RUMOR has been busy for
the last two years coupling tha
names of many pretty girls with
that of Vincent Astor. And last week
1 heard the name of an Atlanta girl In
this connection. As it came to me
this young woman had quite a flirta
tion with young Vincent. I am not
at all sure that this is so, but I do
know that one of this young woman'?'
“dearest friends” is telling about her
conquest of the world’s richest young
man.
The talking friend Lb quoted a* aay-
H ERE’S a little conversation ov
erheard by me the other day.
One of the speakers was very
young and very much a bride. Her
happiness was evident to all behold
ers. She was telling a friend of her
husband. Said friend had had a hus
band for many years—and showed it.
Said the bride: “My dear Jack is
so handsome. He resembles a Greek
god.”
“Yes.”' was the dry and, I fear, bit
ter reply from the older woman, “so
does mine—Bacchus."
