Li Continued from p»B« 1. lltve that the parents of this charm ing Georgia girl will withhold their forgiveness for her marrying the man of her choice. It may be that the haste with which the ceremony was performed was a source of regret to them, and probably was. hut parents are apt to forgive thoughtlessness on the part of thdr children sooner or later. I understand that young Coy. when he heard a rumor that General Peter Meldrlm was searching for his daugh ter, wired their whereabouts and is confidently awaiting a loving mes sage The young couple have been spend ing their honeymoon in Litchfield, Conn., and are now on a motoring tour in Mr Coy's big car through the Berkshire*. The bridegroom is quoted as Spying that if he doe Me not hear from General Meldrim while he is on this t<>ur he will seek a peaceful meeting in New York upon its termi nation He is too happy to worry over anything while he is on his honeymoon tour The young couple say they would have invited the Meldrlm* to their hasty wedding ceremony had they not known it would be impossible for them to get from Montreal to Ashe ville in time for that event. General Meldrlm was at the inter national bar meeting, giving ex-Pre*. ident Taft a clo.*e run for the presi dency of the association at the time hjs- daughter married "Ted" Coy in Asheville. • • • I SAW a woman at one of the little tables on the porch of the East Lake Club the other day, whose toilet of mourning merits description because of Its novelty, if nothing else. 1 don't know who she was, but I ran assure you that she has completely outdistanced the novel white mourn ing costume, introduced into this country by the young widow of John Jacob Astor. and now spread to the proportions of a fad. The corsage of coat effect, belong ing to thi* noteworthy toilet, was of lavender linen, and the skirt of white linen The shoes were white oxford, worn with lavender hose, and the hat wo« of black crepe, from the brim of which fell a lacy, net veil of lavender. One wouldn't have been sure of the mourning, had not the hat been en tirely of black crepe. At first glance the costume seemed an ordinary one of the day, but when the hat was glimpsed, it slowly broke upon the understanding that lavender—albeit a bit gay and vivid In this Instance— van supposed to be “half mourning" when combined with white, and after a little reflection, one recognized that a new style In mourning was being oeen for the first time The combination of half-mournin'? colors and full crepe regalia reminded me of one of Charles Dana Gibson's famous pictures—you know, that one called "Half Mourning,” the central figure of which is a lovely young woman, one side of her costume be ing widow'’* weed® of the deepest dye, and the other side, gay summer girl attire, the eye® and expression of eacn side of the woman’s face correspond ing with the respective toilet. • • * I HEAR that one of the young men from Atlanta who spent last week at Tallulah, where, I am told, gayety is the only thing thought of, Invented a new dance step in a very Impromptu manner one morning All of you who are familiar with Tallulah and surrounding scenery, know that n sure foot and a steady head Is nec- esmry for much wandering over the landscape. This young man was a member of a party tramping over the hills and was displaying his courage by dancing the turkey trot on dlzzy- looking rocks, and over dangerous- looking crevasses The girls of course, feared every instant to see him “come a cropper - ’ and followed his antics with anxious eyes And of course, lie kept them up—what boy wouldn't, under the circumstances ? But he danced once too often on a very slippery ledge which overhung .» deer* chasm through which the Tallu lah River meandered. He took a Step or two and then a long, long slide—a slide which was not intended, and which carried him to the very edge of the precipice before he could stop It. Everybody was looking and every body was breathless*—the dancer in cluded. Ah soon as it was **en that death had overlooked the young fellow once more, the remembrance of his expres sion of fear and horror prompted much laughter and teasing. The other® of the party Introduced the impromptu slide in their dancing at the hotel that night, naming it the "Tallulah Glide” I hear that these girls and boy® are bringing the "Tal lulah Glide" back with them and will exploit it here By the way, I have heard that the "boll weevil w iggle,” which was first introduced at a house party in Mis sissippi. if you will recall, la known to a charming new student at Wash ington Seminary and a gallant young fellow at Tech both of whom were members of the house party whicn originated this now famous dance 1 wonder if these two will give u® n glimpse of the ‘boll weevil wiggle" this winter? * » • I PREDICT that events In Washing ton will take on a much livelier and more interesting aspect from now on Miss Genevieve Clark re amed vefterday from a t.>ur of gev- | m r. na aoroad. 1 :.*vt heard 5? that Miss Clark was a genuine sen sation abroad "a different kind of American girl,” she was tailed by Miss Izlise Brown a belle of the set, and noted as one of Atlanta’s most beautiful young girls. She always at tends the East Lake dances, and is popular with a large con tingent of friends. (Photograph by Hirshburg & Phillips.) IT w \ A, j wgm .T* ~ o/' ~ 30*'.: .

Mis® Clark, you know, has social charm plus as my friend Elbert Hubbard would ®ay. She likes pretty clothes and wears them well, but she also likes politic. economy—and know® it well. She originates stylos in hair dressing, you will recall, and her own charming head is full of thought and purpose as well as wom anly vanity. And best of all. she has a keen sense of humor. In her pwn country this clevc* young woman has already attracted particular attention. She l,s to he .1 debutante this coming season, I be lieve. although, of course, she is al ready well known in Wasnington and New York aociety. By the way, the Georgia folks are settling in Washington now. Repre sentative Howard and Mrs. Howard have taken a house on Ontario road ror the coming season and will move In next week. Former Representa tive W. (5. Brantley and his family like Washington so well they have decided to live there for the present and are established at the Highlands. • • « I HAVE heard that the young fellow who caused pretty Viola John ston to break her engagement to young William Felton -an act tli.it set a-flutter nil the good people of Macon—is a member of Baltimore's exclusive and wealthy set of young bachelors, lie was at Toxaway this summer, where Miss Johnston was a belle, and was so deeply smitten and urged his suit sc* well that the young woman decided not to marry just > t at least until she had a little while longer to think it over. While, of course, I regret the shat tering of any romance, 1 think it is wise for a girl to have a few years in which to enjoy her young woman hood before she marries and settles down. (Query: Do the young mar ried couples settle down nowadays?) Viola and William Felton haw lived near each other all their liv?s on beautiful College street in Macon. Their mothers and fathers arc warn friends, and the romance between the two, which began many years ag met with their approval. Both are wealthy, good-looking and popular—and it is not to be expected in this contrary world that such m ideal match would really come off. Now young Felton has gone abroad, alone Instead of with his bride, as he had intended. 1 hear that a young couple to be married soon—an At lanta girl and a wealthy young man from the East were to have met thr Macon couple in Nice, and the four were to have toured Southern France as a party. Well, "of all sad words," etc Rut maybe wv will hear of another engagement, aft - a while and may be of two—for there are lots of pretty girls where young William Felton is going, and his youth and good looks and wealth will surely attract some of these. • • • NOVEL experience enlivened / \ Mrs. J E. C. Pedder's Western tour this summer Having a brother tv ho owns an extensive ranch in New Mexico, near Silver City, Mrs. Pedder was given opportunity to at tend a cowboy dance one evening. Her husbund, who was traveling with her, gave permission for the "Mm." to hr* dropped for that one evening, so this charming Atlanta woman was introduced to the “boys” as Miss Ped der. Petite and girlish looking, and a dancer of rare grace. "Miss Pedder' was the belle of the ball that even ing, and no cowboy failed to try to got at least one dance with the "girl from Georgia.” Mrs. Pedder has just returned from her stay In the West. The first part of the trip made by Mr. and Mrs. Ped der was broken l»y a camping party In Southern California. where they were guests of Mr. Pedder’® brother and his w ife. They traveled leisurely in their ear®, pitching their tents wherever fancy dictated and staying as long as they liked 1 have heard of no summer’s experience that I en vy more than this trip, which was full of pleasant and unusual experiences. In New Mexico. Mrs. Pedder tells me. the motor car followed the old Santa Fe trail, where the caravans of the "Forty-niners” passed on their way to the gold fields. Every step of the way was full of interesting asso ciations. Last year, 1 recall, the Peddera had an unusually interesting foreign tour. They are not content to make their travels along the beaten paths, but each summer contrive some novel journey, and as they have klnspeople in many part® of the world, and friends as well, there is always some one to give the glad hand of welcome w herever they happen to go. • • • I HAVE come across another story’ of hotel signatures which caused trouble since I told you of the Tallulah incident last week. Thi® other event occurred In Asheville. A young Atlantan and a belle of this city, going over to Mountain Mead ows Inn for afternoon tea. w ere asked by the hotel clerk to give their Big- natures. and the man. In thoughtless mischief, inscribed his own name with the and wife” in addition. The next day the Asheville papers published the list of guests at Moun tain Meadows Inn, including, of course, the name of the young fel low “and wife" among the guests. Consternation reigned among the young people of the particular hotel at which he had been "posing" as a single man for two weeks And he had a hard time explaining the affair The moral of these stories is plain: Never pretend you have a wife—at least, when you are in a .-mail town. HILE the social calendar show ed few' dates during the past week, the quietude which has marked the summer season nas been enlivened by two or three visitor®, In whose honor a series of informal af fairs have been given.
