Interspersed with hints to And out
what he wants for Christmas when
if they really knew they would be
surprised, for it is nothing: more than
a stocking hanging from the mantel
piece in the living room, filled with
“goodies,” just as when he was a kid.
S OME stories are hard to tell with
out giving away the heroine al-
together, and then I have an
enemy for life. Heroines don’t like to
be found out. This girl is one of
the best known of the debutante set.
It seems she was left to do the pack
ing for the family before leaving for a
trip herself. The idea occurred to her
that she could make Christmas mon
ey by having a rummage sale and in
viting the servants in the neighbor
hood to buy. This she did. She sold
for *7 her father's heavy overcoat
that he probably will need sometime
this winter. Yet I do believe if he
had stayed right here in Atlanta he
could easily have done without it, as
cold weather seems to be still far
from making friends with Atlanta
this year. At any rate, she made over
$100 on the sale, and she hasn't bro
ken the news to father yet. She Is an
«nterprising young woman, though,
and he ought to value such a business
capacity as she displayed.
TUESDAY—
Mr. and Mr*. Frank S. Elli* give
a dinner-dance and cabaret at
their home for their guests, Mr.
and Mrs. Frederick G. Corning.
Miss Esther Smith give* a
Christmas party for her guest.
Mis* Estelle Ewing, of Memphis.
Mis* Mary Gude weds Algernon
Coleman, of Chicago, at high noon,
at her home.

Wicks, of Spokane, Wash., and
M 16* Mary Howard.
Mi sees Cornelia and Virginia
Walker give a heart-dice party.
Miss Marion Fielder gives a
luncheon for Miss Aline Fielder.
T HERE’S a certain Atlanta girl
who cast her bread on her wa
ters and who was duly reward
ed. Certainly there is a reward You
know the girl, a very young girl with
pretty blonde hAir. You know her
well, and how ready f»he is t< do good,
and to help other people along. Not
long ago the opportunity came to her
to do something for a girl she had
never seen or heard of.
The latter lived in a small Geo \ ia
town. She read the papers and knew
that our charitable friend moved al
ways in society, going to dances anc.
dinners and parties So she wrote to
Atlanta and to our friend. She was
going to take par^ in a school enter
tainment and wanted^ suitable frock,
end wouldn't the Society Girl please
let her have something to use for thp
occasion.
Very sweetly our friend sent a
dainty dancing frock that she hal
worn once or twice. Then'came a re
ply in the form of a picture of the
young actress. She was so pretty
and so appealing that the Atlanta girl
was glad.
But that wasn’t all. Only the other
day there came from the other girl
an enormous box of the biggest, meat
iest paper-shell pecans you ever saw.
"Merry Christmas!” was on the box.
And our friend was very glad, in
deed.
W HETHER it is practical or
not, the new- style of dancing
has fascinated Atlanta. We arc
dame mad. We hesitate and tango
in our dreams and unbelievable we
blunder over our bridge tables while
we talk of Donna Bain and Mr. Crane
and of what they are doing.
When you come to think of it. wo
ere supporting two ca dansantes now
Mrs. Somerville’s party at the Wtne-
c.off and Miss Bain's at the Piedmont
Driving Club both are so very popu
lar that you would think there were
nothing else in our live?* What a
revelation has come to us with the
artistic ballroom dancing! New life
has been injected into society We
were bored with the two-steps and
waltzes, and didn’t know why we
languished until we saw the tango
dancers
The other afternoon there were 200
or 300 persons at the Piedmont Driv
ing Club to see Miss Bain and Mr.
Crane. That proves some interest
doesn't it?
And. by the way, did you see Kath
erine Ellis dance with Mr Crane the
other day? Donna Bain had better
look well to her laurels, for Kather
ine was superb
V V / E mentioned Dotm.i Bain, didn'f
\A/ we? That charming young
•
Dur Atlanta society nowadays. She
leservee to, be. of course, by right of
her attractiveness, but who wouldn’t
he the center of all eves and all gos
sip coming as the apostle of the new
lances ?
Anyhow’ we hear talk of Donna
Bain this, and Donna Bain that, and
much of the talk is surmise.
Surmise about what? Oh. you in
nocent! We are wondering if she is
going to be Donna Bain much longer!
Have you noticed the train of gal
lants that have attached themselves
to her presence? Have you noticed
the eyes of some of them, and hear ! i
the tones of all of them*’
They are all old enough to know

others. 1 watched a party of her as
siduous disciples the other day, and
a skeptical thought came into my
head: What are they going to do
with it, when they have learned It?
You’ve noticed the new' steps,
haven’t you? They are graceful and
pretty enough when they are danced
by the teacher, or by a few pupils.
But how in the world are you go
ing to do it in a crowded ballroom,
when you have hardly enough room
for a mincing waltz, much le^s the
sliding, gliding, side-stepping tango?
Still, that rna.v not be a difficulty. 1
am merely asking a question out of
my ignorant head, that’s all
There are only two couples who
have the tango habit Irredeemably
and who dance it all the time. I’ve
talked and raved enough about the
Rainwaters and the Bob Smalls for
you to know tHat it is they.
But even these ardent disciples of
the modern steps complain at the
limitations imposed on them by space
and by inadequate music. Why. Bob
Small will tell you that no orchestra
plays long enough to allow them to
execute all the steps he knows. What’s
more, he's right.
Bob is one of our best little dancers.
AM such a big chatterbox that I
must needs sometimes talk about
what other women are so vital
ly Interested in. and that Is fashions.
You men can Just skip this, for It
won't be at all like the things you
approve of. 1 ou don t want jour
wife to know when a new style comes
out for you are so afraid she will
want one like it. She will, without a
doubt. 1 have been reading of a
queer idea. I thought, for ochre yel
low chiffon blouses to he need with
Ml kinds of cloth suits and yet they
are the dressiest livings imaginable
for uch wear. When 1 saw Mrs.
Doughtv Manley in one at the Pied
mont nub at one of the dansants.
1 mar veled that we should have taken
s.» long n time in discovering the
U^ut v of such combinations as hers.
Her wood - brown suit just toned in
beautifully with the richness of the
bodice, which was finished with mink
fur. and her hat was of brown also.
Mrs Manley always knows the latest
things about women's clothes and
doesn't hesitate to use her own judg
ment in selecting the materials.
D ID you ever hear of a trousseau
party? AH of us have been In
vited at one time or another to
visit a bride's home for the pleasure
of seeing displayed around the pretty
boudoir the daintiest lingerie and the
gowns designed for the “dearest little
girl In the world." However. this
trousseau party was different from
the sordid run of things. The hostess
was a handsome widow, who had de
cided to try her luck again in the
matrimonial line She Invited by en
graved invitations at least 50 friends
who came at the appointed time. The
guests were ushered into the room
vv ■ re the costliest garments were on
exhibition Then the bride-elect pro-
'.•ceded to demonstrate and one gown
after another she donned for the in
spection of those present. 1 am told
that each bit of trimming used on the
fluffy things was the work of the
bride herself, a fact which seems re
markable whei^ there was such an
elaborate lay-out.
SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA. HA SUNDAY. DECEMBER 21. 1012.
O v'E of the happiest events of the
week was the informal tea which
was riven Miss Mary Gude, a
bride-elect of this week, by Miss Nita
Black. About 35 of Mis* dude’s friends:
were invited to meet her, and the res
idence of Mis* Black on Spring street
was decorated with growing narcissi
and cerise geraniums in rustic bas
kets and flower holders. A prettily
appointed tea table had for u center-
piece a t;ill crystal vase fillet! with
gorgeous sunburst roses, with a
smaller crystal flower holder at the
base, filled with narcissi and ferns.
The bonbons and ices were yellow,
and Mrs A. V Gude presided over the
silver tea service at one end of the
table.

Moeckel gave several charming se
lections during the afternoon, Mrs,
Aloys at the piano, with Mrs. Moeckel
singing. Miss (Hide's aunt, Miss
Boggs, of Brooklyn, and Miss Louise
Black assisted in entertaining.

cordian pleated chiffon, made with
the three-tier skirt. Miss Louise Black

chiffon draped over pink satin, with
sash and girdle of Dresden ribbons.
Miss Gude was becomingly gowned in
blue charmeuse satin, with corsage of
lave, and a cluster of French roses
