THAT jolly old seadog, everybody's
friend—Sir Thomas Upton—l
am told, will visit the United
States probably next month. And If
he does so, he Is almost certain to
come to Atlanta for a visit with Col.
Willis E. Ragan, our ever-gay and
debonair citizen, who Is his most In
timate friend In the South.
I don't believe any expert mathe
matician could tell how many match
making mammas have tried to ensnare
Sir Thomas tn their matrimonial nets,
for from every point of view, "Tarn
mas," as he is called by his friends
tn London, Is a very eligible person.
He has a great fortune. He lives
like a sybarite. He has abounding
health. He ha» unfailing good humor.
He Is a good story-teller, and as win
some as a girl at her debut natty.
He has several big houses in Great
Britain, where he entertains royally
—and that is the only word to use—
royally. He has a splendid steam
yacht, capable of taking large parties
on long cruises, and no expense Is
ever spared to make these parties
thoroughly enjoyable.
But Sir Thomas has never wan
dered anywhere near the matrimonial
net. I don’t believe he would know
how to give an opinion on the ab
sorbing question now In Atlanta —
kissing!
Whether the match-making mam
mas In America will succeed better
than the mothers and eligible daugh
ters In Great Britain Is hard to tell.
Personally, having known Sir Thomas
a good many years, I believe he Is
a confirmed bachelor.
Os course. If he should win the
American Yacht Cup, In a moment of
exuberancy, he might propose and
be accepted by some one of our beau
tiful girls.
If he comes to Atlanta, Colonel

JHhL/1 ANY residents of Atlanta who
I were here when the city was
Jjft* young are deeply Interested In
ojthe marriage of Miss Pauline Peters.
» ■ daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Ralph
Peters, of Garden City. L. 1., to ;
George W. Pierpont, of New York.
Miss Peters is the granddaughter of :
Richard Peters, who was Atlanta’s I
richest pioneer citizen. She has many I
| klnspeople here among the members |
• of the Peters family and has often ,
visited them.
My friends who remember farther
pack than I do. tell me that Ralph
Peters, father of the bride-elect, was
the handsomest man in Atlanta and
the greatest beau of his time. He is
now a very successful railroad man
and a wealthy citizen of New York
and of Garden City, where the fam
ily make their home.
This pretty daughter of an old At
lanta family is a girl of high ideals
and accomplishments, as well as so
cially very charming. For one thine,
she Is Interested in lace-making, and
in her trousseau will be beautiful '
specimens of her work. She has made |
some exquisite fllet and thread laee. ;
and on a visit here, a few years ago, .
while she was still a schoolgirl, Pau- ,
line Peters' lace work was the center |
of attention.
I think several Atlanta girl friends
tried to make lace, but none of them
persevered long enough to achieve the
skill of Utt!? Miss Peters. The young
man who Is to claim this charming
girl as his bride is a wealthy bach
elor of the Metropolis.
SEEING in the papers that Mrs
"■Willie” Carter, Philadelphia’s
most prominent young society
leader, has inaugurated the fad of
smoking toilets reminds me that sev
eral of the younger set are "joking”
one of their number—a smart young
woman who is always up-to-date in
her ways—for Introducing the ciga
rette at the Driving Club, several
evenings since.
These girls and boys say the young
woman in question smoked a dainty,
gold-tipped cigarette with grace and
ability—but I understand that she—
the accused —denies the whole thing.
As for myself, I see no reason why
the smoking of cigarettes should oe
any more blameworthy than the
drinking of cocktails, by women or
girls—not that I especially advocate
either. But were I have to have a
choice, the cocktail would lose the de
cision.
Mrs. "Willie” Carter's smoking cos

Miss Lowell Is the sister of Preef.
dent Lowell, of Harvard, and to
known as Boston's wealthiest bach
elor woman. She Is quoted as saying
that “Everyone smokes nowaday*--
outside of a very conservative ctr
cle. Boston ts way behind the time*"
Miss Lowell thinks. "It is really tn
a most remote corner of the globe,
and the Boston people think the most
usual commonplace things are very
daring. It Is just as natural for a
young woman to smoke as for her to
take a cup of coffee,” winds up Miss
Lowell.
Atlanta Is In the same position as
Boston, I believe. So far as I know,
no Atlanta women have the habit of
smoking at present—at least. In pub
lic places. The Instance referred to
above Is the first on record, so far
as I can ascertain, and that may only
be rumor. But Atlanta women pride
themselves on following la Mode, so
the story may be different after a

Chap about to wa*
To tho young best man he cried :
"Tell me, <.l it kisetomarif.
For the groom to cuu the bride C
...
THE custom of kissing the bride
Is often Indulged in, and I re
call that at several weddings of
last season, this was vouch
safed favored guests. At the mar
riage of Miss Martha Francis and
Claude Douthlt, much merriment on
the pan of the company assembled
and an equal disgust on the part of
the groom was raised by the Innova
tion of the men friends of the groom
'thus saluting him.
The fact that young Douthtt was
very popular and was going away to
live after his marriage, suggested the
thought to one of his friends who
acted upon the suggestion as he went
up to extend congratulations and best
wishes. The other fellows caught on
then —and a rain of masculine kisses
were accorded the groom before he
could make hls escape.
At another wedding of the pest
winter the groom stood by while hta
bride was kissed again and again by
admiring friends. Suddenly. In a
short pause, he leaned over and
kissed her himself with a resound
ing smack. Os course, everybody wm
vastly amused, and more so when
he grinned and said: "Well, I just
couldn't help It, she looks so sweet!"
