I THINK Bowie Martin was the
man to wear a new fall hat on
Whitehall this season. Bowie
appeared nne morning, about ten days
ago -before the cold days of Inst week
brought out a brigade of autumn
chapeaux—wearing a smart model of
dark green, with a wide band of black
•nd a bow in the back. He was
greeted by compliments on all sides,
from the young women and men of
hit acquaintance during his progress
from the Candler Building to the cor
ner of Whitehall and Alabama, at
which point he met a group of girls,
•.nd was soon the center of a laugh
ing group of inspectors and critics
of “the new stylos for men in autumn
headgear.”
I gather from Inspection of the
well-dressed men 1 have s< en that
the bow must be in the buck —in
fact, that arrangement la as neces
sary to the correctness of a mans
hat thts fall as the upward slant of
the brim on the left side is for wom
en’# hats! The clever designers are
putting on novel touches here and
there, and I foresee the time when
• man can’t wewr a suit or a hat I
any longer than a woman can, and !
b* In style
Among the new hats worn by prom
Inent young bachelors and benedicts
of the city I have seen several very
novel styles—all conservative, but
distinctive. There is a bright green
hat, and a dark green, a brown soft
hat. a new derby—but everyone has
a touch that stamps It of the 1914
model. Oh, the d» signors are clever
•—yet. not so very clover, after all.

SAY. boys, I want to Impress upon
you the necessity of not put
ting yourselves in a position
which calls for heroism unless you
can “produce the goods” My advice
le prompted by a sad happening which
ended a promising romance last we* k
It all happened at Ea c t Lake, on th
very last day that was warm enough
for swimming. A pretty girl, whom
roost of you know, was In the water'
with her devoted swain a young man
Who had been going to see h* r a y. ar
•nd whom the gossips bad fastened ;
bn for an October bridegroom.
Well, he went in swimming once j
too often. The couple had played |
•round in shallow water for a while.)
when the girl suddenly said. "Let
•wim out to the raft 0 ” T» • man ep
ilated—and was lost. So the two
■warn out safely. Several of us on
Shore noticed that the man bad a
pained expression on his face, as if ’•
he was not exactly at home in the j
water.
As the two started back, the girl ‘
became confused when she wag about j
half-way out and grabbed the rope I
which connected the boathouse with
the raft. At the same time, the mar.
grabbed the too. and deep down
Under the water went the two of ’em.
Both came up sputtering and the g’r!
taught the man aroun • : his shoulders.
By that time, everybody on shore was !
txcited. and when it was seen that I
they would both go under unless th* I
(nan could get his arms free, every- |
body stood up and gasped. He did
jet free though, after a short but
berce struggle, and then—he mu ie for
the snore.
The girl sank again—and yet agiiu
—and the man reached the boat- j
house Then a young fellow dive’ 1
trom the raft, sw am oup and caught j
girl who was almost drowned.}
I< >f < ourse, you know the rest! She
wouldn't even com© back to town I
I with her hero ( j And there w ill be I

\ V / t- .rnancps begun and
«pp)lv ended in the summer
social record, I’ve heard of one
which was broken before the season
closed An Atlanta belle, who was}
■'rushed” considerably at a seaside re- •
sort by a very young youth who wa« 1
reputed to be a millionaire, decided —
or seemed to decide—that he would .
do as a companion to walk down the
a.-le with, while the organ played '
that Mendelssohn tune.
The young fellow’ spent money free- I
ly, and as freely talked of his motor
cars. yachts and father's bank ar
<>unt. The Atlanta belle wrote home ,
! ami had her stay extended for a fort,
night longer than she had intended
on the strength of her prospects.
Before th** fortnight was over, the ;
supposed - to - be - millionaire’s son |
I "went broke” and ’v. rote a check for I
3100 t o cover a pressing debt. The i
check was sent to New York and re

institution. Investigation revealed th**
fact that all the boy had was “nerve.”
so the Atlanta belle turned him down
cold and came home, without an en
gagement ring.
\ V J HILE the Atlantans who con-

50 couples to attend a “Disagreeable

in originality as well as brilliancy.
Some of the returning Atlantans
brought back a ription of the last
party given to Mr. and Mrs. John
Grant before they left Virginia for
New York, where they now are.
H nry W. Anderson, of Richmond,
entertained twenty guests at this as-
I _
fair, which took place at the Hot
Springs, to which place the guests of
honor and others motored over from
the White. The dinner table was
elaborately set and a series of courses
served Between each course the
company left the table and indulged
in a tango, a turkey trot, a one-step,
and so on. until the elaborate menu
was finished, which was rather late
in the evening.
This sounds like it might be bad
tor the digestion if generally indrlgcd,
but I heard of no untoward results
for the one time.

I HAVE sometimes thought that half
| of the people who compose At
lanta's society set came from
Washington, Ga. That very aristo
cratic little town has, in fact, given
to Atlanta some of her most de
lightful people. And I am sure that
much general Interest will be felt in
the news that Washington is going
to have a social club of its own.
The Washington Country Club, it is
to be called, and its formal opening
is not far off. The building, already
nearing completion, is of the bunga
low’ type, I have heard, and is placed
in the center of a tract of land cov
ering ten acres. There will be golf
links, tennis courts and a beautiful
swimming pool. A landscape gar
dener is to look after the clearing of
I the woods for the lake, and the other
features of the grounds, which are
to be charming when finished.
Atlanta will, of course, send a dele
gation to the formal opening of the
’ club, and I suspect that many of the
sons and daughters of Washington I
I will be there from far and near. Mrs. :
J. K. Ohl. Mrs. Edward B. Alsop, Mrs. ‘
| Edward Fortson, Mrs. Blanton Fort-
I son. Mrs. Harvey Phillips are some
i of the women who have become noted
society hostesses In the East and
South and w’ho claim Washington
as the home of their girlhood.

THE latest thing in the flower line
in Washington Is the “Mrs.
Wilson" chrysanthemum. This
is a beautiful new bloom which has
been grown by the experts of the De
partment of Agriculture for the an
nual flower show. Named in honor of
the wife of the President, the new
bloom is said to be a magnificent
specimen.
Other striking blooms have been
named “Margaret," “Jessie” an J
"Eleanor" after the three daughter#
of the President and Mrs. Wilson.
The President and every member of
the family are great lovers of flowers
The new’ varieties* of chrysanthe
mum promise to attain an extraordi
nary popularity in the conservatories
and on the tables of Washington so
ciety. Already many inquiries have
been made of Capitol florists as to
when they can begin to supply the
new species in large quantities.

VACATIONS are not always a
thing of joy, according to the
story of one who is wearing a
long face these days. Don’t ask him
why.
He was going for a rest, he said,
and 00 selected a little town up in the
mountains, one that doesn’t even brag
on its summer population.
The old landlord was very kind,
and, taking the young man aside, told
him he would do all in his power to
make his stay pleasant. "I know
everyone up in these regions.” he said,
“and If there’s any particularly pretty
girl you w’ant to meet I’ll do my best
to arrange for an introduction.’’
There was one particularly pretty
girl he did want to meet, and so he
forthwith described her to the land
lord. The old landlord made his own
deductions, and Introduced him to the
girl he thought the description fitted.
“But that wasn't the one I meant,”
said our martyr. "It’s that little girl
over there playing tennis,” and there
on proceeded w ith extravagant praise.
When at last the landlord could
check the outburst of oratory, it was
with the cruel words: "That’s my
wife.”

WITH the disbanding of the Ful
ton Blues, which is announced
for December, I believe, we
will not be treated to any more of the
amusing sights of a member bein?
carri *d off forcibly from the play
house to ‘Mrill practice.” leaving the
young woman he escorted to the thea
ter to find her way home the best
she can alone
Numbers of contretemps like this
have occurred In the last two years,
since the organization of the Blues,
and at last the majority of the mem
bers. having suffered this* experience
often enough, have decided that they
prefer to go to the show with the girl
of their choice, rather than attend
drill, for the company goes on record
as preferring their social duties to
“soldiering.”
Despite the fact that the Fulton
Blues go in strong for society, they
have been really a “crack” company,
and lots of the girls will be sorry to
, know that they are to disband, even
though they did risk being left alone
at the theater when they accepted the
escort of one of the gallant soldier
beys op Monday nights. The captain
of the company. Harrison Jones, is to
be married this autumn, and that may '
have something to do with the whole
sale disbanding.

I HEAR that Atlanta will be charm
ingly represented at the White
House wedding in November by
Marjorie Brown, the young daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. Brown,
who was a guest at the White House
for a week the past summer. Miss
Brown is a cousin of the brile-to-be
and goes about the middle of Novem
ber to Washington for the wedding of
Miss Jessie Wilson and Francis B.
Sayre, w'hich is set for the 25th.
At the present time Marjorie is with
her parents at their summer home in
Ohio. I do not know whether or not
she will return to Atlanta before go
ing to Washington, but as the Browns <
usually remain in Ohio until fall has
fully set in I think it probable that <
Miss Brown will go to Washington
when he family returns to Atlanta.

\ /OU who know Eunice Jackson, of
j Naahville, will be interested Id
the announcement of her debut
this season. Miss Jackson often visits
her aunt, Mrs. Robert Maddox, at
"Woodhaven,” and she will be sure
to come here for a part of her debu
tante season.
Her debut w’ill be celebrated with
a series of brilliant affairs. This
pretty "bud” comes of distinguished
Southern ancestry. She is the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. Jack
son and niece of the late General
W. 11. Jackson, of Belle Meade, and
granddaughter of Justice Howell E.
Jackson, of the United States Su
preme Court.
By the way, several of my Macon
friends have bemoaned the fact that
there are no debutantes there this
season. This is really extraordinary. I
for Macon usually has a charming
bouquet of buds for the winter’s
blooming. However, there are several
prominent brides-to-be for the fall,
among these Misses Anne Shaw.
Josephine Jones and Shirley Curry,
the last-named a granddaughter of
Senator A. O. Bacon and a former
Atlanta girl. Miss Curry will marry
Walter L. Cheatham in November:
the Jones-Miller wedding takes place
on October 15. and the date of the
marriage of Miss Shaw and Dr.
Charles Richardson will fall in No
vember.
