SUNDAY. m Continued from Page 1. a slender, vivacious, enenretlc prrsja she Is too—Is by every verdict of public opinion the best dressed wom an In Atlanta to day And she mik s her own elothas! Isn't that a recom mendation" Sort* time soon. If I flnfl j my old friend Cxossip hasn’t played me false on this story, I am aolng :o tell you more about the enterprise. • • • I AM curious to see if the tango tens that are being given by Mrs. .Jack Somerville at the Winecoff will bo successful. Mrs. Somerville is the best 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 nbout dancing than they know no\ . Rut, belh ve me. if Mrs. Somer vllle teaches the tango to all nemi-dancing men In town who trying to learn it, she pllsh a mighty big thing, t he nre will accom- I have been watching a lot of them trying to learn, and. personally, I don’t think there is a chance. 0 • • 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 he barred from standing in Whitehall 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. .0 0 0 ( 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. NOVEMBER ■ ~'p I w 30, urn. O NE of the handsomest affairs of the week was the dinner-dance given by Edward P. McBumey at his Peachtree street residence for Dr and Mth. Howard Bucknell, who re turned recently after a year's absence abroad, Clovers were laid for eigh teen at a table carrying out a color scheme of pale blue and pink, in which gorgeous pink roses and butterfly bows of blue tulle were effectively combined.
