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.

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 WEDNESDAY— The Dansant at the Piedmont Driving Club.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Glosser give a dinner party for their house party guests. Miss Mary Brock Mallard gives an afternoon tea at her home. 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.
