\ ] RS. CURRIE R< IIUXSON STEW.
| | ART Is planning an old-fash
ioned^ reunion this Christmas
and she has invited all of her chil
dren to spend the holidays with her.
Adg-ar Stewart and his beautiful wife,
who was Miss Anne Carter, of Louis
ville. will be the first to arrive and
probably the first to leave, as their
three charming children have to be
back for school. The Walter Robertes,
of Utica, with their sons, John A. and
Stewart Roberts, will be here also.
Mrs. Roberts was Miss Daisy Stew
art and has kept up with her friends
rei-aarkablv well through her yearly
visits home. Of course the Seldens
will be on hand, and their new apart
ment is quite convenient, being sit
uated only one square from the horn;
place. Only during the past year the
Diair Armstrongs (Anite Stew art, you
remember) have returned from Bridge
port. Conn,, to live, and altogether
the family is planning to enjoy them
selves to the fullest extent. It is
a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Edward But-
ier leave just before the others come,
but Dr. and Mrs. Hinton Baker, who
are among the cousins, will, be here
until the middle of January at least.

NE of our cleverest young women
had the misfortune, or maybe
you will think it good fortune
when you hear the story I am about
to tell you, last week of having a
suitor forget the “date” he had made
with her. She dressed her prettiest,
sat in the parlor and waited for sev
eral hours and he did not appear. Not
being able to think of an appropriate
excuse for his failing to come she
went to bed as angrv as it is possible
to be. Think of having someone for
get you so completely that he didn’t
have any recollection of making an
engagement at all.
The next morning the telephone
rang. He called to say that he had
such an awful attack of pleurisy that
he was unable to see her the even
ing before and matters were smoothed
out ostensibly. However the girl was
not to be fooled. She called a cousin
of hers who worked in the same of
fice and inquired of this chap, “Do you
know whether was sick last j
night or had pleurisy?” The answer j
came back promptly, “I don’t know
whether he was sick or had pjeurisy,
but I took him home last night.”
There may be two kinds of pleurisy!

[JLA JACKSON, now Mrs. Ed
ward Hussey Alsop, is a most
— fortunate girl. She has always
had everything that fond parents
could bestow, but how could she
even dream that her wedding would
be so lovely? The presents were, oh!
so wonderful that I can’t tell you how
many there were, or even guess the
number. All I know about them is
that the large parlors of the Jack-
son home were literally strewn with
them.
Among the most costly articles that
struck my eye was the chest of sli
ver .given by the bride's parents.
Rapidly I tried to count the forks
and spoons, and servers, but I never
was quick At mathematics and I
stopped when I reached a gi^eat big
number. The tea service, gift from
the groom's parents, was of the gray
sliver . The many bowls, platters
and vases were of the same dull,
satin-like finish. I almost forgot to
tell you about the goblets and serv
ing plates sent by the bride's aunt,
Mrs. Maddox, and her uncle, Howell
Jackson, of Nashville.
Curtis Hussey gave the most ador
able little coffee set of embossed sil
ver. The most sentimental present
was the silver bowl sent by the Har
vard varsity team of which Mr. Al
sop was a member last year. Another
odd thing I noticed was the set of
drinking cups, three marked for the
bride, and three for the groom. The
bridesmaids nearly ail gave personal
gifts; one a little square traveling
case with the gold toilet articles, and
another a boudoir desk set made of
the beautiful pink and bronze tapes
try. A Japanese embroidered table
cloth was among the vast array and
just beneath the picture, "The Lady
With Die Fan," w r as a gorgeous
mother-of-pearl fan havered with real
lace and as big as that of our grand
mothers.
is more effeminate than the swaying
of the fan? Its motions are so
rhythmic.

I)
ID you know that the larger the
fan the more stylish it is?
Washington society is at pres
ent crazy over the problem. They are
resurrecting their old ostrich and lace
ones. I But hear that many are paying
fabulous prices for the few on the
market. At every party for the last
two months I have been looking for
this fashion to break forth in At
lanta, and now maybe it will. What
HACK draperies or wallpaper
showing a black background
are the latest style in the bou
doir of milady who cares for her
looks enough to have the decorations
changed. For you know, or possibly
you hadn’t thought about it, that
b;aek is considered the most restful
to the nerves of any color. The
“crow’s feet” can not come if only a
dark room is employed during the
resting hours of the day. Many At
lanta women realize the elegance of
such mural adornment and for that
reasdh have adopted the fad, if it is
such.
I understand that Mrs. Beaumont
Davison was the first in the city to
plan a rest chamber whose walls are
hung with the English chintz in black
with a design of leaves and paradise
birds in blue. The draperies are in
the old blue shade and the dark ma-
ti >gany furniture of an ancient peri ad
makes this apartment most complete.
Mrs. Rainwater is another who has
established in her new home one of
these ideal places, How I long some
times for some place where not a ray
of light can be reflected “when I lay
me down to sleep.” and only the mel
lowest shadows can gather about me
to keep me company Instead of the
flighty, frolicsome rays of sunlight
by day or the horrid stream from the
electric street lamp that at night
worries you so that you become gray-
haired before your proper time. What
could be of better taste than Mrs.
Rainwater’s lovely room. where the
walls are black apd mulberry-hued
and the floor coverings are the shade
of the little crushed berries that you
tread upon when you go in search of
cocoons who weave their silk upon
the branches of the stately old mul
berry trees? The same tone is seen
In the draperies at the windows and
the shade is of such subdued effect
that there is no crying out between
gay and the sober elements, but the
utmost harmony Teigns supreme.
