H ^D you ever thought about the
difficulties in the path of a wid
ow’s coming out, and how she
4s to let the world know she is ready
♦o accept invitations again? I know
of several that are just dying to have
*ome fun again. And why shouldn’t
they? They are really in a better
position to appreciate It now than
over, n’estce pas? One young widow
©f my acquaintance, who is the best
manager I know, has arranged a very
clever mode of telling her friends
and even strangers that she no lon
ger is as timid as she used to be.
After spending several years in
Europe and lingering in New York
a while, where she frequently met up
with Atlanta people, she has at last
returned home. -On her soft draped
velvet hat which she wears with a
most becomingly fashioned gown of
black velvet, she has most coquet-
lahly placed near her round beaming
face one little pink rose. You know
it makes her look ten years younger,
and she is young enough to start
with. I told her so. But I was sur
prised to hear her say: “I just had
to put it there to let them know.”
To whom does “them” refer?
* * *
r KE story reminds me of a con
versation I overheard another
young girl having with her fa
ther. She didn’t want to make her
debut a bit. She hates parties, but
she is the most loyal friend a girl
can find in this whole city if she likes
you. The father was trying to tell
her that she owed something to him,
and he had a, pride in seeing that
she become the most popular girl
possible.. Finally he said: “You will
have to have a party if you are not
married by the middle of November,
then, of course, it would be impossi
ble.” Clinging to this last hope, she
said: “Well, I’ll marry the I>— rather
than go through with possibly many
embarrassing circumstances.” One
morning the father was awakened
about 5 o’clock by the slamming of
the front door. He was scarcely
awake, just conscious that was all,
and the thought immediately struck
him that his daughter had eloped
with the D—. He jumped out of bed,
ran downstairs and called to other
members of the family only to find
when he had fully come to himself
that she was slipping out to meet an
early train bearing his mother-in«law
as a surprise to him. That shows how
Impressions sora«CJe*ts last even when'
they are quite absord. I hear the
debut dance is scheduled for some
time in the near future.
* • *
| F you don’t want to lose out, you
| must remember that any girl is
apt to change her mind when she
lengthens her dresses, so don’t pin
any faith to what she has said even
many times. I hear that a certain
little boy of my acquaintance has
been wanting a pony for several
years. His mother finally settled the
matter, she thought, by telling him
that when so-and-so made her debut
she would give him his heart’s de
sire. She thought it certain that this
girl had such a will that she would
stick to the fact that she thought It
a sin to spend eo much money on
entertainment for the little fun in it.
But this winter the girl surprised
everybody by actually planning to
give the handsomest party that has
yet been given, and she already bids
fair to be a reigning belle. The boy
has almost won his pony, hut not
until the event has actually taken
place is he to expect anything. You
know girls sometimes change their
minds, even at the last moment.

WILL, tell you something if you
promise you won’t tell any of
the preachers. Surely they won’t
read my silly chatter themselves, for
I always think of them as being the
busiest people in the world (on Sun
days), and of course they won’t
think of it when Monday cornea.

r New Year Day festivity
ill be an occasion that
will please you.
M rs. william shallenber-
GER, a recent bride, and Mrs.
Robert Yancey, of New York,
a popular visitor and guest of Mrs.
Joseph Rairie, Jr., shared honors at
the luncheon given by Mrs. Hugh
Lokey and Mrs. Samuel Hewlett, at
Mrs. Lokey’s residence. The guests
were seated at four tables, each grac
ed with vases of large yellow chry
santhemums. with decorative details
in yellow and white. The place cards
bore hand-painted sketches.
The hostesses and honor guests were
charmingly gowned for the occasion.
Mrs. Lokey wore black charmeuso,
with vest of white chiffon and lace.
Mrs. Hewlett wore wisteria velvet.
Mrs. Yancey was gowned in black
and white chiffon, and Mrs. Shallen-
berger’s toilet of black crepe de chine
was bordered in ermine.
M ISS ETTLA JACKSON, whose
marriage to Edward Alsop will
be an event of December 12,
was honor guest at the beautiful
luncheon given by Mrs. William L.
Peel at her home. Woodbine. The
table was entirely decorated in white,
chrysanthemums forming the center-
piece.
Mrs. Peel used her antique silver
in serving the guests, who were seat
ed about a large circular table. Only
the bridesmaids of Miss Jackson and
her closest girl friends were Invited.
Miss Jackson never looked hand-
Somebody I know (I don’t want you
to guess out loud) had a turkey trot
party on Sunday afternoon. Two or
three days beforehand she called up
some of her men friends and a few
girls that she thought wouldn’t have
any conscience about the matter and
they say there never was such a big
time. Maybe one of the occupants of
that apartment told me about the af
fair, as they couldn’t help but hear
the music and sliding of feet. There
is no other sound on earth like the
rhythm of the dance.

A S Tom Connolly says he never
works except on a holiday like
Thanksgiving or Christmas, you
may easily find out the reason if you
keep up with his whereabouts on
those days. You know he is secre
tary'to one college, trustee of another,
as well as being the founder and sec
retary of the University Club. Nec
essarily he has to take long trips to
keep in touch with what other col-
f leges are doing, What about the an
nual trip to Paris, is there a college
there where he could get any ideas
that would benefit him in "running"
his club? I guess so. Imagine hav
ing to travel as much as he has had
to do the last two weeks. First, he
must go to the big convention in Chi
cago, where lots of the big university
men were. Then off to the Chi Pc i
convention in New York, where. I
hear, he is stopping at the Yale Club.
He is getting too much the habit of
hanging around such high-brow
places. I’m afraid that I won’t be
able to entertain him sufficiently when
he comes back home, if he ever does.
If I could only giggle maybe that
would do, but people never want oth
ers to amuse them as they try to
amuse others. Don’t you know that
Tom had a big time at the games las:
week. I heard that he was going to
the Army and Navy football game
Saturday, and naturally one would
suppose that he didn’t miss the Yale-
Harvard game, for if he did it will be
the second in twelve years.
I understand that as there are no
widows in Europe to interest him
this season he prefers the trip to
Panama to regain the health he loses
in drinking the health of so many
successful college sports.
...
W HAT do you think X heard a
woman say the other day?
She said she wished they
would start the Christmas bazaars,
because there were so many pretty
things to buy and she wanted to get
through. The “Shop Earlv" has got
ten into people's bones already.
* * *
P E ALLY I wasn’t eavesdropping,
but I overheard a conversation
on a street car between a
most attractive young girl and a
middle-aged woman. The girl com
plained of being so sleepy. She said
she had been Lu the Auto Show and
didn’t get in until very late. The
conversation drifted in the ways
I young men and girls behaved these
' days and the young lady said. ‘‘Well,
! you do hear queer things, but I am
i treated just as my married sisters
j were. When 11 o’clock comes moth-
! er always calls and says, ‘Dear, it’s
I eleven.” Strange to say, the girl didn’t
resent the parental authority, but
{ said: ‘‘I have said all ! know by
i eleven.” It’s nice to know t’ re are a
few of the old-fashioned conventions
observed.
T was & splendid dream, that gown
Mrs. Jack Lewis wore at her par
ty for Mrs. Robert Yancey last
week. The gown, and Mrs. Lewis’
golden hair, and her blue eyes—there
was a pretty combination for you!
A soft golden chiffon in the gown
matched the pretty young matron's
hair. There was a gray blue bonnet
and plumes, and a little blue girdle.
That was for her eyes. And Mrs.
Lewis very naturally became the
prettiest part of her own party.
There were busy times in the Lew
is establishment for a day or two be-
for the party. Jack Lewis himself
had a little party in prospect that
worried him lots. He was helping
arrange the banquet of the Rotary
Flub, and for days before the events,
there were many telephone conver
sations between the two, always
about parties—his and hers.
And even with all their planning,
something nearly happened that
would have* made this little story of
mine impossible. Mrs. Lewis awoke
in the middle of the night, disturbed
in soul and spirit. She informed her
husband she guessed she must be 111.
Rut Jack knew her better.
“Something on your mind, now,
’fess up, isn’t it?” he urged her.
“Well,” she admitted, after awhile,
and told him she had just remem
bered there was no new frock for
her own party, which would never
do. There were evening gowns and
tailored suits in her wardrobe to suit
any occasion. But there must be a
new gown for her own party. Maybe
she had just dreamed out the gold
and blue scheme, and felt that she
just couldn’t miss the opportunity.
And Jack Lewis, like a good hus
band, told her not to worn'. And
she, like a trusting wife, didn’t. The
