4 H TTEARRT’R REND AY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1073. f# $7 Continued from Page 1. a blender, Viva-clous, cnerffptic* person 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. m * * 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. AY vw. 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 tique baskets of while, blue and pink, filled with roses. Butterfly bows of blue tulle were tied on the glasses, and the place cards bore the mono gram of the host In gold. An elabo rate dinner w’as served, and later there was dancing. The hall of the residence was elab orately adorned with American Beau ty roses and large white chrysanthe mums. and in the drawing room there were dozens of pink roses. Mrs. Bucknell. the honor guest, wap handsome in an Imported gown of white lace and crystal, draped over hyacinth blue satin. Her corsage bouquet was of orchids and valley 111- MJB les, and in her hair was an exquisite osprey adjusted to a rhinestone band. o * * Mrs. James A.

A Dresden china plate and a bridge set were given for top scores, and a deck of cards was the consolation. There was a special souvenir for the honor guest * * P Miss Lamar Latham, of Washing ton, IX C. t will remain through this week with her aunt, Mrs. Charles A. Conklin, on Peachtree street.
