ptic» is, too—is by every verdict of
public opinion the best drowsed wom
an in Atlanta to-day. And she mak p
her own clothes! Isn't that a recom
mendation? So time soon, if I fln1
my old friend Gossip hasn't played
in* 5 false on this story, 1 am going to
teH yon more about 'he enterprise.

1 AM curious to see if the tango teas
that are being given by Mi's. Jack
Somerville at the Winecoff will be
successful. Mrs. Somerville is the
beet of the young married dancers in
town, and I understand that several
men are going to her teas daily with
the idea of learning from her a lot
more about darning than they know
now. But, believe me, if Mrs, Somer
ville teaches the tango to all the
semi-dancing men in towfi who are
trying to learn it. she will accom
plish a mighty big thing. I have been
watching a lot of t3iem trying to learn,
and. personally, I don’t think there Is
a chance.

J OHN GRANT had better fcook out
if he meets two or three women I
know who own electrics. It seems
that Mr. Grant was at the head of a
committee that recommended that au
tomobiles of all descriptions should
he barred from standing in Whitehall
stir] some other streets unless drivers
were in them
"Of course,” said one of my friends,
i know’ Mr. Grant bus don*; a. lot
for Atlanta, and my husband and fa
ther tell mo this plan of Ms is fine,
hut I know better. Why, evei*y murn-
mg of the world my electric stands
on Whitehall for a couple of hour*,
and I am going to leave il there,
willy-nilly. If any policeman tries to
stop me, rn run him down ”

I SN'T It the very nicest thing to
have a doughty nimrod or two in
your list of good friends—folks
who can go out 'most any old time
and kill birds and send some of them
f o you? And isn't it, on the other
hand, every bit as aggravating when
rhe hunting trip doesn't bring results,
and you go birdless?
It doesn’t always bring results, you
can be .sure There are Charley Nun-
naJly and Gua Ryan. who went out
the other day, aJl ready with their lit
tle guns and the other things neces
sary for a big hunt. They rode miles
and miles on the railroad to spend
two days hunting on the Nufinally
farm. They are telling it themselves
—all about the old farmer who met
th»ra with the information that plenty
nf snakes were in that region.
And I reckon you are prepared," he
xa id.
“Sure,” said Gus. with confidence.
We have all the protection necessary
against snakes. Ha, ha.” I can see
him when he laughed.
"Wa-al, 1t'« a good thing you
brought something along, for you
von’t carry' much game back,” Air.
Farmer prophesied.
And sure enough, they got only two
rabbits and four partridges between
them In the two days. 1 don’t know
much about bird affairs, but I guess
from that It was a hit early to bag
Teal game. For 1 know these two arc
really and truly sportsmen.

LAREN< I: KNOWLES proved
I himself thoroughly efficient as
president of the Nine o'clock
Club at its first affair of the season
Wednesday evening. Always this
club haH had a Thanithglvirig celebra
tion and two others following at
Christmas and just before Lent be
gins.
Eugene Haynes did a good thing
when he offered a prize for the first
lady dancer on the floor after !*
o’clock. How many do you think
were there? The large number of 50
and they had to cut for the prize.
Mignon McCarty wag the lucky girl,
and #he well deserves it. too, for she
is always ready when the time comes.
One young man, who takes her to
the Card Club every week, says that
she Is waiting when l.e arrives at
quarter to eight o’clock, and that is
rather early for a club to meet!
Several visiting girls added their
charm to that evening's gayety,
among them being Mrs. Charles
Conklin’s guest, Lamar Latham,
of Washington, IX C.; Adeline I>avls,
of the University of Virginia, who
has made many friends on her own
account since she came to visit Ad-
gate ’Ellis; Martina Burke, of Macon,
and as she frequently comes to At
lanta. she i» now stranger to no one,
and Lillian Jones, of Waynesboro,
who, after spending a month with
the Allan Claude Wellers, Is now the
guest of Isabel Kuhrt.
1 might mention a few of the At
lanta girls who were present if you
care to hear, but, of course, I couldn’t
mention them all, as there was such
a largo crowd. Adgate Ellis, of
course, was there; Katherine Ellis,
I>n.ura Lee Cooney, Jessie McKee,
Nancy fTince, Nell Prince, Margaret
Grant, Emily W'ln^hip, Lula Dean
j Jones, Frances Oonnally. Marion
Goldsmith, Caroline Muse, Esther
Hmhh, Mary Helen Moody, Jennie
D. Harris. Harriet Calhoun, Leone
Ladson and Helen Dargan.
There were lots of the young mar
ried set. hut every one was disap
pointed at not seeing the Jesse Dra
pers. The club did not mean to lose
him altogether when it accepted his
resignation as president.

I AM more nearly convinced every
day I live that the boys and girls
here in Atlanta, are the best chums
In the world. Something that one of
my college bnv friends told me the
other day proves It to my satisfaction.
You alt know what a scarce article is
money among the college boys, and
what a great thing it is for the young
men to mAke their way up to the
very highest perch in the theaters
when they go to see a show—I think
they call it the "nut,” though why
they do Is beyond my poor appre
hension.
Well, the boys went up the three
flights the other day a long time be
fore the show started. You have to
go early, you know, because the seats
are not reserved, and it lk a case of
lirst come, flrst nerved. So the boys
went early.
But even ahead of them they found
it little party of girls they knew. The
boy who told me about it • v >ald you
could have knocked him out of the
high “nut” gallery with u feather
There sat this merry party, this year's
debutantes and last year’*, of course,
In two shakes it was a much larger
party, and there the custom began.
These “nut” parties are becoming
quite the thing for rn itlnees, they tell
me.
It’s a pretty good thing for the boys,
too. Maybe they will learn, by this
good fellow ship with the girls, a keen
er sense of their duty in paying social
obligations. Dear me! How neglect
ful these Atlanta boys arc in this re
spect. Mothers are really Indignant
about it. Even if the boys do show
up at the proper time once, they have
to be baited all over again before the
next time they are needed. They
ought to be ashamed, 1 declare. But
maybe they will learn. That’s why I
am strong for those informal affairs.

•"TT* HERE can one find a more whole-
I some, charmingly attractive girl
than Margaret Northen? She
has by inheritance a sunny, happy
nature which radiates in svery place
she moves. She dances, swims, rides
horseback, and Is an all-round good
companion. Original and pretty, she
has a host of beaus who admire her,
and they say they won’t pay court to
any other maiden save Margaret. I
have noticed her often on the ball
room floor, and, to my thinking, she
is as graceful as grace can be, never
exaggerating a single step of her hesi
tation and tango, in fact, so wonder
ful a turkey trotter is she that not
long since placed in the middle of a
most gorgeous corsage of violets were
two turkey feathers, emblematic of
her ability.
• • *
S REAL funny thing happened
at a party the other night.
There was a prize offered for
the best dancers. A fond parent,
wishing to see his debutante daugh
ter win the prize, asked one of the
best turkey trotters to dance with his
daughter. The best turkey trotter was
having a. fine time talking to a very
attractive girl and rather hesitated
w’hen pa approached him. But pa
was firm and said he would remain
with the young man's partner. That
was funny enough, and the couple
should have had the prize, but the
judges were four mammas who had
debutante daughters. They judged
that their girls danced best and the
four drew' for the prize. A manag
ing papa is well enough, but there is
one thing better, and that’s a man
aging mamma.

I T is with pleasurable interest that f
met Mrs. Edward Barnes at recent
social gatherings. All summer long
Mrs. Barnes has been suffering from
a nervous breakdown, and she has
given herself over to a quiet life for
some months. I can’t recall anyone
in Atlanta society who makes such an
ideal guest as does Mrs. Barnes. She
is brilliant at dinner, overflowing
with humor, telling excellent stories
related in her own style Mrs. Barnes
has lived in Atlanta all of her life,
and I can scarcely mention a more
popular or gifted woman. Her recov
ery and her presence at the gayeties
of the season will be a source of de
light to her following.

O NK of the handsomest affairs of
the week was the dinner-dance
given by Edward P. Me Burney at
his Peachtree stivi: residence for Dr.
and Mrs. Howard Bucknell, who re
turned recently after a year’s absence
abroad. Covers were laid for eigh
teen at a table earning out a color
scheme of pale blue and pink, in which
gorgeous pink rores and butterfly
bows of blue tulle were effectively
combined.
The Cluny lace cloth was laid over
pink satin, ami a large silver vase of
pink roses, with a base of the same
flowers and bows of blue tulle., adorn
ed the center of the table. As favors
at each place were little imported an

filled with roses. Butterfly bows of
blue tulle were tied on the glasses,
and the place cards bore the mono
