TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, (5A., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. Um.
Oi
E ARl^T in November the marriage
of Misw Jessie Wilson and
Francis B. Sayre will be cele
brated in Washington. It will be the
first function of the kind the White
House has known in seven years
Great preparations are quietly being
made for the wedding of the daugh
ter of the President of the United
States. The East Room, where the
ceremony will be performed, has just
been handsomely decorated in ivory
and gold.
Miss Jessie. I see, is to follow the
example set by the German princess
bride by having her trousseau made
entirely in her native land. 1 suppose
our "royal wedding” will not be at
tended by the blare and flare of that
which recently took place in Ger
many, but the same patriotic interest
centers in the approaching event,
which in the most notable of a vast
number to take place In these United
States this autumn.
Miss Jessie is the beauty of the
Wilson family. The "good looks"
fairy was rather generous to this
young bride-to-be. She is slightly
taller than her elder sister. Masses
of beautiful blonde hair. simply
dressed, accentuate the fine contour !
of a gracefully poised head. I no
ticed at a White House reception J
attended soon after the inauguration
that Jessie’s eyes were of the real
violet color—not blue, nor green, but
violet, and she has a really fine com
plexion. Her taste in dress s^ets off
her style, too.
The elder sister. Margaret, on this
occasion at which I was present, at
tracted much Interest because of her
likeness to her father. She is really
a tiny mite of a girl, and it is rather
Miss Alice Mai) freeman
the charming young women of the social world. Miss Free
man is a petite and aristocratic looking girl, with gracious man
ners and a delightful personality. She is the elder daughter of
Mrs. Leila Lowry Freeman, and a niece of Colonel Robert J.
Lowry. (Photo by Lenney.)

startling at first to be confronted
with a pocket edition of the Presi
dent in petticoats. Eleanor, the third
of this trio of sisters, has a breezy,
vivacious manner. Her eyes are
brown and snappy, and she speaks
enthusiastically on all subjects.
The three girls, as I looked at them
standing near each other, appeared
to me to represent three distinct
types—all American, to the core, but
different. Margaret is gracious and
sweet and home-loving; Jessie is
more aggressive, with well-formed
ideas along the lines of sociology. She
is really the "high-brow" of the trin
ity. While Eleanor is inclined to
ward athletic sports and having a
good time generally, I predict that
she will be very popular as a White
House belle this winter—Eleanor. I
mpan. Everybody in Atlanta is in
terred in the Wilson girls, of course,
and in the wedding-to-be.
I have hoard that a number of peo
ple will go to Washington for the
event from Atlanta and Savannah.
Among the Atlantans who will prob
ably go is Marjorie Brown, the young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward T.
Brown. Miss Marjorie, who is a
cousin of the Wilson girls, was n
guest for a week at the White House
this, summer. Marjorie is a pretty
young girl and may he asked to he a
bridesmaid.

I HAVE heard many expressions of
anticipated pleasure on the part
of the golfing contingent at the
Capital City Country Club over the
improvements soon to be mad • on the
links. Ton kno - of course, chat the
present nine holes are favorably sit
uated near the lake vid 1 understand
that nine more sporty holes are to be

ards seen on the Scotch links. The
new nine holes are to he through
some very pretty woodland toward
Peachtree road and the side of Brook-
haven drive, and the start and finish
for the eighteen holes will be right
at the clubhouse. ^
I HAVE heard of setting clocks ten
minutes fast and watches fifteen
minutes slow, but never have I
heard anything to equal the nerve of
When they returned from the thea
ter the other evening, he begged leave
to rest for a few minutes, though the
• ’av hadn't been unusually tiresome.
••Well/’ she asked, “what time is
it?”
It just happened that he had mis
placed his watch—but hadn’t lost his
head. Turning somewhat away he
pulled from his pocket a bright half
dollar and in a second told the time—
that is, the time minus about half an
hour.
t*he never nreameu of the boy’s in
genuity and was much puzzled when
her mother lectured her next morning
on the topic of time.
The young lady learned the kind o f
watch the young man carried, and
the first thing she did was to buy a
watch bracelet, which she wears con
stantly.

FIRST ROUND.
Reat the tom-tom, pound the keys.
Crook the dhows, bend the knees.
SECOND ROUND.
Set the muscles, clench the fist.
Dip the glide und whirl and twist.
(Have no heart for friend or brother,
One hard blow deserves another.)
THIRD ROUND.
For each bruise that's placed on you.
Leave a mark that's black and blur.

Trip the man and kick his ankle—
Wounds like that are hound to rankle.

TRAINER'S DINT.
He who turkey trots this way.
Lives to dance another day.
• * *
T HERE seems no limit to the va
riations of the dance. Now that
the ban has been lifted at East
Lake. there is much fancy dancing tD
be seen there. Some of it is extreme
ly graceful and some isn't so pretty,
but there is no extreme dancing al
lowed. even though turkey-trotting
and tangoing is favored to the exclu
sion almost of the waltz and two-
step.
I noticed, however, at a recent
dance several young couples used the
waltz step as a variation for twirls
and pirouettes, with a few waltz
measures in between, making a rath
er showy terpBichorean performance
There are two young couples who
attend many of the dances together
and whose splendid dancing Is al
ways followed by admiring eyes.
These are Dyda Nash and Eugene
Haynes, and Allene Fielder and Eu
gene Kelley. I watched them for quite
a while last Wednesday evening anc

enjoyed the dances as much as the
young couples themselves did.
By the way, I noted a little inci
dent recently at one of the country
clubs, fuller details of which 1 found
out by an inquiry or two, which shows
that utmost pains are being taken
to have these dancing parties strict
ly limited to club members. One
young man. who is pretty well known,
went to a club of which he is not i
member and was vigorously turkey-
trotting when the president of the
club approached and asked If he was
there as a guest.
"Oh, yes,” the young fellow re
sponded; "1 came with So-and-So,”
naming a prominent member of the
club.
The supposed host was asked abou'
the matter and dented that he had •<
guest. Thereupon the president asked
the young man to depart forthwith.

T HE young men who live at a cer
tain fraternity house in Atlanta
have been much wrought up
lately over the invasion of their dom
icile bv a popular young girl of the
city, it seems that this girl—a very
pretty and attractive young woman
with a daring disposition—knew that
one of the boys at this fraternity
*house had a pic ture of .herself taken
in a bathing suit of extreme cut.
She asked for the photograph, but
was refused b> the bby. SSt ttn mind
pictures of the picture hung promi
nently on the walls of his room and
subjected to the curious gaze of all
the hoys in the house, this daring
young woman decided to get it her
self. So she went down one morn
ing. unchaperoned and alone, walked
boldly up the stairs of the bachelors’
domain and into this man’s room.
She looked hurriedly around for
her picture—which was nowhere to
he seen. She searched on the dress
er and the mantel—and while there
were girls and girls and girls about,
her picture was not visible.
Then it was she bec ame really de
termined to have that photograph—
seeing that he didn’t appreciate it,
anyway! So she tumbled out the
contents of drawers and trunks, and
finally found the picture stacked up
with a lot of others behind a vase on
the dresser.
She departed w ith her find, leaving
the room in great disarray Happily
for her. no one was around, and had
she not told of her escapade, no one
would have known of it.
T HERE are two pretty sisters in
Atlanta and they have a
wealthy aunt who greatly fa
vors one of these in the beautiful
presents she sends back home for ihe
girls from her annual European trips.
Invariably she tickets the prettiest
and best of the things she send* w itn
the name of her favorite niece.
Of course, the other sister is proud
of the silk stefekings, the Roman
pearls, the Paris blouses, etc., that
her aunt incloses for her, but. accord
ing to the law of human nature, she
has become piqued because of the
evident favoritism in these offerings.
It so happened that the last box of
things arrived from Europe one day
last week when no one was at home
but the sister who gets the seconc
choice. She opened up the box, an 1
of course saw that all the choicest
thines w ere for her sister. Hie temp
tation was too strong for her. sg she
exchanged all the tickets, putting her
name on her sister’s gifts, and vice
versa.
When the famllv inspected the bo:,
great surprise was expressed over the
distribution of the gifts. But now th*»
guilty sister is wondering what aunt
is going to say when the Imperator
brings her home 1 next month!
* * •
y HE past w eek has been gladden* 1
by the sfrrlval of a number of
young folks in Atlanta whose
names are not yet inscribed on the
social register, but are destined so to
be in the future. One of the very in
teresting new arrivals of the week
was Miss Marion Peel Calhoun,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Phinlzy Cal
houn. The little one has a notabte
ancestry, and unless all signs and
portents fail, she will one day be a
belle.
Her mother was Marion Peel, tho
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mis.
William Lawson Peel, and her father,
Dr. Calhoun, is the son of the famous
Dr. A. \V, Calhoun. The little girl
has two handsome brothers, the threo
children all being magnificent speci
mens of childish beauty.
The young son of Mr. and Mrs.
Presley D. Yates is another interest
ing arrival of the past week. This
little fellow is the grandson of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Richardson, his
mother having been ?*Iies Julia Rich
ardson. He is to bear the name of his
great-grandfather, Charles Richard
son.
In the same block on Peachtree the
arrival of two sons was greeted by
fond parents last week. Charles Dan-
nals. Jr., whose mother wa« Martha
Whitman, was born in the apartment
of his parents in the Palmer, while
down the street a short distance Mas
ter James Dawkins Cromer, Jr., was
welcomed by his parents. Dr. and
Mrs. J. D. Cromer.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harrison Jones
(Kate Waldo) have a handsome
young son. who was horn last week,
and still another newcomer, whose
birthday lies within the second w I
of September, is Miss Jane Margaret
Morrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Alston Davis Morrison, the latter
having been Miss Allison Badger, one
of last autumn's brides.

-T'HE delightful early autumn i
I weather has brought out many j
golfers and tennis players at j
the country clubs. The cool breezes j
make the long-favored water sports j
possible only to ‘the very hardy. I ,
noticed at East Lake the other after- j
noon many golfers on the links, both :
men and women.
Mrs. Tom Paine, one of the best of
the East golfers, came home .
from White Sulphur Springs, where !
she shared the brilliant social life of]
the season, with trophies of her i
prowess at golf and tennis, for she |
found time for these sports in spite ;
of the nimerous affairs which have
made up a gay social calendar there j
this summer.
I believe Mrs. Paine has added four i
cups to her collection of golf tro- |
phies with her playing at the White, i
She seems to have acquired the habit,
.lust before she went to Virginia. Mrs.
Paine won several handsome trophies
at the tournament of the Woman’s j
Southern Golf Association, which was i
held in Tennessee this summer.
Mrs Valdemar Gude is another I
woman who is playing a fine game of ;
golf. Mrs. Gude is a most enthusi- I
astic advocate of out-of-door sports
—swimming, golfing and tennis play- j
ing. She dances beautifully, too.
and is always h very busy and popu- I
lar guest at the clubs—playing golf ;
in the morning, and sometimes in the !
afternoon, and dancing in the even - I
ing. Mrs. Gude and her sister. Miss i
May O’Brien, are accounted among ]
the very best of the East T,ako con
tingent of golf and tennis players,
and their popularity at the dances is j
attested by the fact that they are !
usually the center of attraction.
* * *
HAVE been wondering if the col- j
lege boys in this part of the ;
country are going to take up the
college auto robe fad.
While the Tech colors are almost
too dainty. Georgia and Mercer colors
would make up into beauties, and
their insignias are pretty, too.
Of course, even if this does become
a fad, the boys can’t be so generous
with these valuable robes as their
pennants. But the possession of one
becomes all the more desirable for
that reason.
