party, ns they have had onp bridge
party after another, followed by af
ternoon teas and theater parties in
the evening, besides their own per
sonal engagements. Miss Elizabeth
Brown, of Pittsburg, who is already
here visiting the bride-elect, and Miss
Caroline Muse will be bridesmaids,
and of course Ida Winship is to be
maid of honor for her sister. Fort
Scott will be best man, and the
groomsmen are I>ugas McClesky,
Stewart Boyd and Arthur Clarke.
Eula Jackson’s marriage to Edward
Alsop will be an event of Friday even
ing and will celebrate her mother’s
anniversary. Eula must not belong
to that superstitious crowd that be
lieves anything begun on Friday wilt
bring bad luck. But why should she
when all signs point to a brilliant fu
ture for her and her new lord and
master! This Is to be a church af
fair, when cards will be presented at
the, door, and after the ceremony a
most intimate gathering of friends
will be entertained with a seated sup
per at the Capital City Club. The
handsome gifts will he shown at the
club, and I hear that the most mag
nificent array of silver htfs already
been sent by the friends and relatives
of the groom. Miss Jackson has a
host of admirers who are unselfish
enough to wish for the day to arrive
w hen she will become the happy bride
of Edward Alsop.
The third wedding dT which T speak
is to be on Saturday, the last day of
the week, at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, for tlie bride and groom will leave
for New York, their future home, im
mediately after the ceremony. The
groom in question is Fermor Blanton
Barrett, a leading newspaper man of
the great metropolis, und the girl Is
Margaret Moore, the lovely daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Victor A. Moore, of
Seventeenth street. This wedding will
he a quiet affair, only a few friends
being hidden to witness the cere
mony.

B REACHES in etiquette among
society folk generally ai« over
looked, because the ones guilty
of such mistakes are usually top-
notchers In the bluebook. Ignorance
or carelessness Is generally the cause
of such digressions. I would hate to
think that any of our young people
were ignorant of the time-worn cus
tom of answering invitations prompt
ly. 1 hear from many hostesses this
season that hardly any replies come
in until the last minute, and you
might as well not answer at all as
late. A hostess, especially one en
tertaining at seated affairs at clubs,
can’t begin to tell how many she must
order for until her invitation, en
graved “kindly reply,” has been ac
knowledged in some way. I>o you
think the engravers place tho»e two
little words there for ornament? No;
our good hostess has p?lld extra for
that line, and she means something
by it. One friend blames the young
married people, who ought to know
at least a week ahead of time wh it
engagements they mean to acce >t.
Some young men are to blame, too!
If they would select their partners for
these occasion** in time for the girls
to.reply, the greatest and most com
mon breach of etiquette might be
covered oveT.

*T"HE sleeping porch, which has
I metamorphosed architecture,
also has done what Paul Poiret
couldn’t do in the matter of
styles of nighties. The fresh air
sleeper has added many frills to her
former plain robe de nult. Now she
wears a foot muff find a dainty little
nightcap with lace and ribbon be
comingly draped about her face. She
never knows who’s looking. Two
pretty girls who have a fine sleeping
porch at their Ponce DeLeon avenue
home tell me they tucked themselves
comfortably In bed recently and way
in the middle of the night they heard
a creeping noise on the ledge of the
veranda. They didn’t dare move, but
stayed awake until dawn so fright
ened they couldn't speak. Mr. Owl
was the caller, and he hasn’t moved
yet. Every morn they feed him ami
pet him, and he seems content to stay
and kept watching. You see, girls, it
pays to always look your best.

HEAR Mr and Mrs. William A
Speer will give their annual
Christmas eggnog party on
Christmas .morning. This is good
news, Indeed, to those who have al
ready experienced the keen pleasure
of attending the Speers' eggnog par
ties For several years they have
opened their T'ei.chtTee street resi
dence to hundreds of their friends on
Christmas morning, and these parties
have added untold pleasure to those
who, after the stress and strain of
Christmas preparations, find the Speer
residence elaborately decorated and
this gracious host and hostess wel
coming their friends with the true
Christmas spirit.
Several other host^ses are already
planning their Christmas parties.
Mrs. A. D. Adair, Jr., will also give
her annual eggnog party on Christ
mas morning, a custom she has ob
served for years. And this . ear, her
guests will have the added pleasure
of seeing young A. D. Adair the third,
a splendid little fellow, who will add
his welcoming smile to that of his
parents.

A LWAYS with Mrs. Wilson,' Miss
Eleanor Wilson and Miss Helen
Bones Dr. Grayson is seen at
the theaters, dinners and the like. For
some time my attention has been at
tracted to this fact and I have been
betting on another White House wed
ding. Now the fact remains to be
proved which of the young ladles
mentioned Is seriously involved. How
ever, either way the affair, it will take
place at the White House

i y i K all have our view’s as to
\V/ what we owe a host or hos
tess, and there seems to he a
wide difference, of opinion. At a par
ty by a debutante at the Driving
Club lately, wine and other drink
ables were served to the chaperons,
but nothing hut plain Chattahoochee
was in evidence at the debutante’s
table. The young men at the latter
table could not refrain from order
ing several rounds of highballs. They
at least signed the checks with their
own names, unlike former parties
where they signed the host’s name.

I T has certainly been a gay week
and none of us has had a mo
ment’s rest, as we were ei l her
rushing to or from the Christmas
bazaars, or tango teas, bird suppers,
or bridge teas given for sweet chari
ty’s sake. And, of course, in between
times it was necessary to be seen at
a luncheon or two or be present at
some one of those large evening af
fairs. There were many last week.
Tie dinner given by Colonel Ragan;
the Edward Inmans’ dinner-dance;
the YVimbishes’ dancing party, and
the elaborate dinner-dance that Cap
tain James English gave Friday night
for the Edward Butlers, of Buffalo.
By the way, have you seen Mrs. But
ler (you know she was Kate Robin
son before her marriage four years
ago). She Is looking prettier than
ever and she has Home wonderful
clothes that she bought in Baris just
a little over a month ago. She is a
most devoted daughter and was not
content to stay long in Buffalo until
she could come to see her mother,
after her long continued trip in Eu
rope. Now she is here her friends
are begging her to remain until after
Christmas, hut I’m afraid the sleigh
ing up North is more to be desired at
that Season than mere “eggnoging.”

* I HE Edward Inmans’ party the
j other night was a sure enough
party. That idea of having
breakfast at 2 in the morning made
the hit of the evening, or the morn
ing, If you are particular, but it
wasn’t nearly so popular Some six
hours later, when several score of
hardworking men who formerly had
cheered the post-midnight, festivities
began to move slowly toward their
respective offices. Late parties are
fine for debutantes and all of us who
can take our rest until noon, but, oh,
you poor men who work for a living!
Speaking of men who are late to bed
and early to rise. I know’ a couple of
young bachelor doctors who are not
able exceptions to the. men who suf
fer from loss of sleep. They are out
every night of the world, closing
practically every party that is given.
Yet, at 8 o’clock promptly both of
them are in their offices without fail.
Strange to say, they thrive on the loss
of sleep. One of them. I am sure, has
gained ten pounds since the season
began and the other is always as
spry as if he had Just finished a
twelve-hour sleep.
I NOTICED one particularly’ charm
ing looking girl at the Tango Tea
Monday afternoon and also at the
Piedmont Club dinner-dance the week
before, whom I wanted to meet, but
didn’t. Except that her name w’as
Pepper (it wasn’t Maggie, though), I
do not know who she could be, but
she made a real impression. She was
quite petite, and h#*r gown was Just
suited to her’ style. It was of black
crepe de chine, accordion-plaited,
rather sensible for dancing these ir
regular dips and whirls. She wore a
^rnall bonnet with a ribbon of black
velvet *under her chin, and I think her
eyes were black, but I really couldn’t
tell, for she was always off for a
dance with some Jolly fellow.

T Is with keen regret that a num
ber of Atlanta girls have read of
the approaching marriage of Lieu
tenant Allen M. Burdette to Mis.*
Florence White, of Toronto, Ont. You
remember that when Lieutenant Bur
den was stationed at Fort McPher
son, before he was commissioned to
the chair of military tactics at the
University of Tennessee last Septem
ber, he was quite a beau, and had
severaU serious affairs with some of
our most attractive young belles.
How we all would have liked it had
he chosen to remain in our midst, or
at least so connect himself with At
lanta that he would be present at the
big dances.

T HE Players’ Club has been busy
the last week or two laying
plans for the winter's work. The
members have already made prepara
tions for the brilliant public perform
ance In January at the Atlanta The-
ater.
“Thu Genius,” that light society play
of De Mille’s, In which Nat Goodwin
olayed the stellar role several sea
sons ago, will be enacted, and Miss
Jessie McKee, one of the new mem
bers, and probably the youngest star
the club has ever brought forward,
will have the leading lady’s part, as
sisted by Miss Helen Dargan and Mrs.
Robert Small.
Frank Taylor will make a splendid
Genius, and others in the cast have
not been appointed to their respective
parts. Every effort is being made to
have this year’s work eclipse all pre
vious years. More interest is being
fostered by the subdivision of the club
into circles which will produce at in
tervals, according to the French cus
tom, drawing room plays of one act
each.
Mrs. Frank Ellis has opened her sa
lon for this purpose and only those
who receive invitations will be ad
mitted to these small affairs, which
will be three in number, the first to be
some time in December. Bernard
Shaw’s “How He Lied to Her Hus
band” will be presented, with Mrs
Thaddeus Horton in the role of Au
rora, and is prepared to delight an
audience who will permit something
rather risque.
The charter members of the Play
ers’ Club think they will go in for se
rious things, and as a consequence
they have formed a stock company for
the production of something from
which great benefit and pleasure may
be derived at the same time. They
call themselvos ‘ The Inner Circle ”
Another time a musical comedy win
be given by those with musical u
ent, and a real comedy Is being thnr
oughly discussed and may he nr
duced during the winter. It’s another
of Bernard Shaw’s, and a buries*,ul
on woman suffrage entitled “PrUl
Clippings."
