I AM curious to see if the tango tens

the idea of learning from her a lot

J OHN GRANT had better look 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

and some other streets unless drivers
were in them.
“Of course," said one of my friends.
T know Mr Grant has done »l lot
for Atlanta, and my husband and fa-
i her toll me this plan of his is fine,
but I know better. Why, every morn
ing .of the world my electric stands
on Whitehall for a couple of hours
and J urn going to leave it there,
willy-nilly. If any policeman tries to
stop me. I’ll run him down."

| SN'T it the very nicest thing to
j have a doughty nimrod or two in
your list of good friends—folks
who can go out most any old time
nnd kill birds and send some of them
•o you? And isn’t it, on the other
hand, every bit as aggravating when
the hunting trip doesn’t bring results,
and you go bird less?
It doesn't always bring results, you
• •an be sure. There are Charley Nun-
nally and Gun Ryan, who went iut
the other day, all 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 Nunnally
farm. They are telling It themselves
-ail about the old farmer who met
them with the information that plenty
of snakes were in that region.
"And I reckon you are nrepared,” he
sa id
“Pure.'’ said Ous, with confidence.
“We have all the protection necessary
against snakes. Ha, ha." I can see
him when he laughed.
“Wa-al, it’s a good thing you
brought something along, for you
ron’t carry much game back,’’ Mr.
Parmer prophesied.
And sure enough, they got only two.
rabbits and four partridges between
them in the two days, I don't know
much shout bird affairs, but I guess
from that It wa* a bit early to bag
Teal game. For-I know- these two are
really and truly sportsmen.

( CLARENCE KNOWLES proved
himself thoroughly efficient as
president of the Nine o’Clock
Club at its flr»t affair of the seafsm
Wednesday evening. ^ Always this
club has had a Thanksgiving celebra
tion and two * otherw 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 ft
o’clock. How many do you think
were there.’ The large number of 50
and they had to cut for the prize.
Mignon McCarty wan the lucky girl,
and who well deserves it. too, for she
Is always ready when the time comes.
One young min, who takes her to
the Qird Club every week, says that
she is waiting when he arrives at
quarter to eight o’clock, and that ia
rather early for a club to meet!
Several visiting girls added their
charm to that evening’s gayety,
pmong them being Mrs Charlen
Conklin’s guest, Lamar Latham.
«.f Washington, D. C : Adeline Davis,
of the University of Virginia, who
has made many friends on her own
account since she name to visit Ad-
gate Ellis; .Martina Burke, of Macon,
and as she frequently comes to At
lanta, she is 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.
I might mention a few of the At
lanta girls who were present if you
care fo hear, but, of course, I couldn't
mention them all, as there wan such
a large crowd. Adgate Ellis of
course, was there; Katherine Ellis,
Laura I^ee Cooney, Jessie McKee.
Nancy Prince, Nell Prince, Margaret
Grant, Emily Wlnship. Lula Dean
Jones. Frances Connally. Marion
Goldsmith, Caroline Muse, Esther
Smith, Man’ Helen Moody, Jennie
I). Harris. Harriet Calhoun, Leone
Ladson and Helen Dargan.
There were lots of the young mar
ried set, but every one was disap
pointed at not seeing the Jease 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 1 live that the boys and girls
here in Atlanta are the best chums
In the world. Something that one of
my college boy friends told me the
other day proves it to my satisfaction.
You all know what a scarce article is
money among the college hoys, and
what a great thing it is for the young
men to make their way up to the
ven' 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 appro-
! hension.
i 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 Is a case of
first come, flrfct served. 80 the boy*
went early
But even ahead of them they found
a little party of girls they knew. The
boy who told rn* about it said you
could have knocked him out of the
high ‘‘nut’’ gallery with a feather. .
There sat thiH merry party, this year’s |
debutantes and last year’s. 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 matinees, they toll
me
It's a pretty good thing for the boys,
too. Maybe they will learn, by this j
good fellowship with the girls, a keen
er sense of their duty in paying social
obligations. Dear me! How n <lect-
ful these Atlanta boys are in this re
spect. Mothers are really indignant
about it. Even If the hoys do show’
up at the proper time on< e, they have
to bo baited all over again before the
next time they are needed. They
ought to be ashamed, I declare. But
maybe they will learn. That’s why I
urn strong for those Informal affairs.

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 every place
she moves. She dances, swims, ridea
horseback, and is an all-round good
companion. Original and pretty, she
haH 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 effn 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 REAI. funny thins happened
at a party the other niffht.
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
beat 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
when pa approached him. But pa
was llrm 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, hut there is
one thing better, and that's a man
aging mamma.
...
I T Is with pleasurable Interest that I
met Mrs. Edward Barnes at recent
social gatherings. Ail 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 us does Mis. 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 1 can scarcely mention a more
popular or gifted woman. Her recov
ery and her presence at the gayetles
of the season will he a source of de
light to her following.
