Young 'Star' Matron Has Rare Distinction
By MME. HAUTE MONDE.
O much spa<e Is devnted to talk-
^ Ins of the clothe* that wo wear
*— ’ when on dress parade that our
rainy-day garments get very little
attention. They are very Important,
though, for particular people like to
look well garbed even "though rainy
he the weather."
The Camp Tire C.lrls and the Sc outs
have introduced many of us to the
joy of wearing slic kers and sou'west-
i rs To the uninitiated he It known
that these are the names applied to
the rigs worn by the 'longshoremen
The slicker is the long, yellow oil
skin coat and the sou'wester is the
hat of the same material. These out
fits make cross-country tramps In
rough weather not only a possibility
but a pleasure. The new raincoats
of cravenette and covert cloth have
- okes and sleeves lined with silk,
satin and Venetian cloth, so that
they will slip on and off easily. They
have the belted backs which make
them more shapely than last season s
garment and the comfortable con
vertible collars, which may be drawn
up snugly about the throat or rolled
hack if desired.
Even those venturesome souls who
insist on having their horseback ride,
rain or shine, have had their com
fort provided for in a special rainy-
day garment.
It is a raincoat of rubberized ma
terial. having a fan-shaped flap under
the placket, which spreads out over
the horse’s back and keeps the rider
completely protected from the weath-
There are numbers of women who
object to rubberized garments of any
kind because Of their weight. For
these there are the full length storm
coats of chinchilla, which are warm
and cozy and light In weight, hie
ing of rough weave they "shed" the
rain like a waterproof.
They have big storm collars and
deep patch pockets and come in all
the serviceable colors, including the
oxford gray.

The women who prefer to use curl
ers for waving the hair as being less
injurious than the heated Iron, will
like the new curlers of woven mohair
braid. These hold the hair much
more securely than the kill curlers
which have a way of slipping occa
sionally.

Some of the new umbrellas are the
prettiest things! Any girl will be glad
to carry one of them. They are cov
ered with black silk, but have gayly
colored handles to match the fa 1!
suitings- tob/cco brown. reseda
green, mauve and taupe are a few of
the shades.
Each umbrella has a satin cover
of the same color as the handle, and
the brass ribs are fastened together
'*«rUb a smart-looking ring and chain
There are some very pretty ones of
black silk with silver-inlaid partridge
nr snake wood handles.
Smce this season may truthfully be
' alleU “the reign of the ruffle," any
woman will he glad to get one of the
new self-plaiters or ruffters so that {
she may have plaiting* galore with
out the expense of having them made
in the shops and may wear her pret
tiest jabots without the feeling that
their glory will have departed after
one trip to the laundry.
These self-plaiters are of metal and
look somewhat like small hand looms.
The material to be plaited is run un
der and over a set. of metal rods, then
dampened and pressed with a warm
Iron. All sorts of plaitlngs can be
made on the one frame plain ac
cordion plaiting, oak leaf, shell or
scallop. The price of this useful
plaiter is but 75 cents.

For the beaded tunic or the one of
gold lace there is a fine gold wire
sold at 50 yards for 10 cents. This
gold wire is just the thing for stif
fening the loops of metallic lace on
the boudoir or theater caps. For the
Medici ruche, so much in vogue, there
is a very good supporter which is
practically invisible.

A famous couturier is showing n
particularly attractive model coat ml
rKirt, carried out in black and white
« k tweed, the loosely fitting coat
having revers, strappings and cuffs of
yelTow cloth. Its peculiar charm lies
in the fact that the coat is so mads |
that it can be entirely reversed, and
the lining of yellow-faced cloth worn
with an exceedingly smart erfect over
the original skirt A novel method
of rolling two costumes into one.

Home of the new fall millinery af
fected by young girls is almost gro
tesque in its quaintness. Funniest of
all are the bonnet-shaped hats of
black velvet, with velvet ties und't
the chin and a single feather orna
ment with a tuft of ostrich at the end
of a long shaved stalk, standing di
rectly out from the hack of the brim.
It takes a pretty face and a deal of
chic In general style to carry off a hat
like this, hut scores of them are to ba
seen any day along Broadway, and a
few on more exclusive Fifth avenue.
The wedding bell ostrich feather
adds the last note to millinery fash
ions. This oddly named feather phan
tasy, or feather "fancy” as the trade
has it, shows a shower of soft, fluffy
tips at the ends of long, (dipped featri
er stalks. Hundsome plumes go intj
the making of a hunch of "wedding
bell" tips, and It does seem a pity to
clip away three-quarters of the rich
plumes t<> leave a bated stem from
which the hell-top may dangle. But
these feathers are the very latest
craze, and because of their very ox-
pensiveneijs are much sought after.
Women of good taste will not toler
ate the hideously ugly heelless shoe
with fall tailleurs. These shoes,
whose vogue has extended through
the summer with a certain class of
young women who go in for sensa
tional styles, are absolutely unsulted
to the draped models
0 0*
Pre-eminent among dress trim
mings and used upon almost every
kind of costume nre the jetted novel
ties It is moat remarkable what a
strong position this fascinating trim
ming has obtained. Of course, the
English, French and German - mad j
jetted trimmings are most expensive.
Yet even these are not beyond the
reach of the average woman, unless
the extreme novelties, such as b^.t
and buckis with long dependent Jet
strings and tassels attached, ire
sought for.
The average jetted bead banding U
most effective If used In small qua i-
tlties, while Jetted fringes are quite
wonderful, especially when used to
edge the wired overskirt draperies of
a smart afternoon or evening cos
tume.
Colored beaded bands and fringes
are algo fashionably desirable fjr
overskirt trimmings and for vest and
collar garnitures, but gold and n 1-
ver trimmings continue to be greatly
demanded. Shops are offering both
the colored and the gold and silver
trimmings In equal quantities, and at
fairly low prices.
Gayly hued enameled and colored j
glass buttons are also used, as well ns i
quantities 6f rhinestone and crystal J
buttons.
The really high style dress trim
ming is a tassel, anywhere or every- j
where. Should you use but one tas
sel, it must be very long, but not
thick, and may weight a sash end or
be placed at the point of an overskirt
drapery, or even dangle, from the cen
ter of the hack of one’s bodice.
Smaller tassels are used for sleev"
drapery pendants and to decorate col
lar points.
Sashes of gayly colored fancy Wilks,
of black velvet, satin or of solid color,
or heavy, with embroidery, are 'e
dernier crl in trimming fashio is.
while laces of the shadow, net or
blonde, variety may be used with every
gow n regardless.
Fur, of course, Is everywhere, with
apparently no limit to the variety.
Exhausting the list of known pelts
does not limit them, for any one of
these peltries may be dyed in a num
ber of colors and combined with otter
pelts, which, In turn, have undergone
remarkable changes, in order to pro
duce new trimming devices and ef
fects for the adornment of women'*
apparel.

Lace is not so omnipresent as it
was a year ugo- net and tulle are
more fashionable now and lace is
more often veiled with net or chif
fon than used openly on the outside
of the frock. Fine machine embroid
ery is incorporated into many of the
gay little dancing frocks in medal
lions or chemisettes, and sometimes
one sees a tunic of machine embroid
ery under a slightly shorter tunic of
tulle or chiffon. A frock of this sort
was displayed in a Fifth avenue win
dow the other day.
The dinging skirt was of white
lansdowne and over this to the ankle
fell a tunic of white chiffon edged
with swanBdown. A second tunic of
very sheer machine embroidery all
over, also edged with swansdown and
w ired to stand out in minaret fashion,
was dropped over the chiffon tunic
to the hip, and a third tunic of white
chiffon, also wired and also swans
down-edged, veiled with tunic of
embroidery. The little bodice was
almost negligible there was so very
little of it. It was of embroidery,
veiled with chiffon. Over one shoul
der was a strap of swansdown, and
over the other, and the arm at that
side, floated a wide sleeve of the white
chiffon.
White tulle dancing frocks are the
prettiest things imaginable and It Is
safe to prophesy that their fascina
tion will not he reserved for debu
tantes alone—they are far too fetch
ing and becoming. A model much
talked about at a recent New York
opening was culled “Poiret’s pet," be
cause this little tulle frock dansante
is a favorite of the great couturier
whose inspiration it was. Ruffles of
the tulle encircle the skirt from hip
to waist ana a deep bertha-ruffle edg
ing the decolletage fulls over a wide
sash of black velvet.
Down the front of the frock from
the point of the decolletage to the
lowermost ruffle of tulle go little black
Jet tassels Like all the Poiret frocks
— and all the French frocks of this
fall iu fact this model has no waist
line at all; that is. its lines conform
absolute!} to those of the natural,
uncorseted feminine figure.
Mrs. Willard Newsom, youngest Worthy Matron
of the Order of Eastern Star in Alabama, who was
Miss Florence Leona Gregory until she waa
married at a ceremony at the Mont
gomery Masonic Tern}
The ceremony js one of
the few ever per
formed in such
preceding the dance, for 1 was one of
those who couldn’t resist dressing up
myself and going just to see the gor-
i geous costumes. I am really glad in
a way that the bal poudre didn’t call
FA N'T understand how some peo
ple feel privileged to do anything
in the world they want to and
their conscience never seems to worry
them. I have been brought up by | forth many fancy dresses, and I hope
good, old-fashioned parents, and, of
course, I couldn’t ever dance on Sun
day. 1 don't think my feet would
work in the> proper way, and I would
always be expecting someone to tell
on me. I would tell myself if neces
sary. but there are some things that
older people don’t understand, and
maybe you couldn't explain. I am not
a prude, but there are six days and
not seven to play and dance and worK,
and why don’t we rest on Sundays’!
Some kind friends who live in Ansley
Park selected Sunday to make a little
journey to a nearby city, staying over
for tlie week-end with friends. They
returned to their home to find it in
much confusion—the rugs were up,
the furniture was placed against the
walls in a very suspicious fashion.
Upon investigation, they found that
ome of the young people in ;he
that in the future they will return to
the old way of entertaining at their
annual celebration.

■ AST Sunday I talked and talk d
| about Donna Bain and Monsieur
^ Crane until I thought you would
be bored to the last degree, but I fin 1
that everyone is as interested in the
subject as I, and the more you have
to say the more keenly they art* apt
to listen. The "dansants" are becom
ing more and more popular, and may
be by tiie time Miss Bain has been
here six months the young men will
wake up to the fact that they can
have a lot of fun 4 in the afternoons if
they will only drop around at 5 or 6
o’clock for a clip of tea at this place
or that. It didn't lake the older men
two seconds to discover the fact, and
they are making up for that lost time.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. 27. When
Miss Florence Leona Gregory, a pret
ty Montgomery girl, plighted ehr
troth to Willard Newsom on Tuesday
evening in Montgomery there were
present a nur%ber of prominent Ma
sons.
The wedding was unique and spe
cial interest l«vas attached to it be
cause it wits the first wedding to take
place in a Masonic temple in Ala
bama. and one of the few that have
ever taken place in the country. The
ceremony took place in the chapter
room of the Masonic Temple and was
performed by the Rev. Stewart Mc
Queen, chaplain of the Masonic Or
der of Alabama.
Youngest Matron in State.
The bride is worthy matron of the
Elizabeth Armstrong Chapter, No. 10,
of the Order of Eastern Star. She
has the distinction of being the
youngest worthy matron in the State,
and is one of the youngest women
who has over held this important of
fice in any chapter.
She is in her early twenties. Her
attendants were the following officers
of the chapter: Thomas l*. Hackett,
worthy patron; Mrs. S. H. Yarbrough,
associate patron; Mrs. C. B. Goins,
1 secretary; Mrs. S. H. Owen, treasur-
i or; Mrs. L. M. Austin, conductress;
Mrs. George C. Kgge, associate con
ductress; Miss Inez Ansley, Adah;
Mrs. L. C. Phillips. Esther; Mrs.
Maggie Sweeny, Ruth; Mrs. W. J.
Oinnavan, Martha; Mrs. Jesse Dav
idson Electa; Mrs. Ed Pierce, ward
er; Mrs. C. B. Youngs, marshal; Mrs.
F. P. Chaffee, chaplain, and Ed
Price, sentinel.
The scene was beautiful.. the offi
cers entering two and two. The la
dies wore white gowns and the
badges of the order, made of loops
of blue, yellow, white, green and
red ribbon, which fell to the bottom
of the skirt. The bride wore a trav
eling suit of blue cloth with hat to
match and carried Bride roses. She
was given in marriage by her broth
er, Felix Gregory.
Distinguished Guests Attend.
Among the guests were members
of the Andrew Jackson Lodge, of the

T WO ,years ago the' debutantes
b&ftded themselves together for
the purpose of doing some good
with their time, money and energy.
They gave teas, and even had a tea
room of their own, where they served
the patrons themselves, making
money forU.he little fellows housed at
the Home for the Friendless. Al
though* the club has disbanded, they
still remember these children on
Christmas, sending them practical
gifts along with a little foolishness.
This year they selected to do their
Christmas shooping one of their mar
ried members, a bride of the fall. She
went to a men’s furnishing store and
made her purchases, telling the clerk
to charge them to her address. Sud
denly she remembered that these
items were not accustomed to be on
her bills the first of the month find
wondered what would husband think.
So she leaned nearer to the man and
whispered: "Add ‘for the Home for
the Friendless,’ so that Mr. S. will
understand."
* * *
-w^ftAVELINQ with an attractive
I young girl sometimes turns out
1 to be a very lucrative proceed
ing for the chaperon. Recently this
happened between here and Tallahas
see, whither our friends were bound.
The girl had found a beau on the train
in the person of a young man she had
met once or twice, and when tickets
had to be bought and trunks re
checked at Jacksonville the young
gentleman offered his services. The
matron handed him a large-sized bill
to cover the whole, but in his hurry he
didn’t get the money and she put it
back safely in her purse. Returning,
he gave her the checks and tickets,
with no change, as there ordinarily
would have been. "I believe you owe
me a dollar,” she said. “I beg your
pardon, you owe me nine,” he an
swered, and they each beiiev.ed them
selves correct. The man went his
way, his destination not being f h*3
same as theirs, grieving at his loss,
knowing that as a gentleman he never
could say anything else about it. The
woman, stii'. thinking hf had failed | when they say good-night. I should
‘the bell rings.’’
The other day someone asked:
"Who is the young fellow down at
the other end of the hall with Donna
Bain and Katherine Ellis?" It was
Judge Newman. Ed Peters is sitting
near that big fireplace at the Pied
mont Club almost any afternoon, an i
General Robert K. Evans is there with
his charming wife. I do believe if
you tied with a hemp rope Jim Wil
liams. Doughty Manley, Tom Paine
or Frank Callaway he would get
away and run at breakneck sneerl
to le dansant. They never do seem
tired of it. and their wives are just as
enthusiastic as they, which makes i:
lovely for wifey. She doesn’t have to
stay at home.
The saddest thing, though, to me Is
that the poor, hard-working young
men can’t come. Wouldn’t the bosses
excuse them at 5 o’clock for such good
exercise as they would get at such a
place as this? If they should happen
to slip off. 1 guess the first persons
they would see would be the bosses.
Why, Friday there were only six un
married men r*resent.
Just to think, Miss Bain will- be
with us no more. She is going back
to New York, where they can’t do
without her, and what are we going
to do?
cr«
NE of our very best young dan
dies, who didn't know that hi*
window curtains were drawn,
and that his boudoir was in easy
view, is responsible for this story.
It was only last Sunday afternoon.
The young man, who we shall call
C—, because that really Is his last In
itial. was preparing himself for •
great event, evidently. There, right
in front of a great big mirror, h«
was grapevinlng, one-stepping, hesi
tating, and even trying the new Max-
ixe Argentino.
The sun was bright on Ponce De
Leon avenue that afternoon, and it
wasn’t long before C— had a quite
appreciative audience. But he didn't
see them. He was watching himself
as intently as possible in the glass
and seemed very proud of his esthetic
performance. There was something In
his attitude that seemed to sav
"There’s nothing like doing these lit
tle things for yourself." Oh, but he
was proud of Mr. C—. And outside
the windowwas a select group who
appreciated the performance.
w
HAT would we do without the
old negro mammies? They
furnish us with a great deal
of merriment by their misinterpreta
tion of words. For Instance, one day
last week an old mammy was request
ed to put up a nice lunch for her
Young Mistress.
"1 am going out to the Anne Wal
lace Branch to-day, and may not get
home in time for lunch,” she was told.
The old negress turned around very
suddenly, saying, ’’Why, missus, ain't
it too cold to go there this time of
the year?”
w
HAT’S in a name! A great deal,
I can tell you. For instance,
have you associated in your
mind the three names Donald Brian,
Donna Bain and Donald Crane. See
there how similar they are! "Well,"
you say, "what of that?" Did you
see Donald Brian in "The Merry Wid
ow?" He can’t hold a candle to Don
ald Crane when it comes to ballroom
dancing, to my way of thinking, al
though at a distance you might mis
take the two. All the girls tell me
they adore the way Mr. Crane looks
at Miss Bain when he dances with
her—not that they think he is in love
with her at all. but he always looks so
terribly interested when she seems to
be avoiding his glances. Yet she real
ly is peeping around to see if he is
looking.
* * •
Of course, engaged couples are priv
ileged to linger for an indefinite spell
W
to return her dollar, and, being a
woman, a dollar meant as much to her
as ten to a man. Imagine her sur
prise when she opened her purse
again to find the money sticking
where she had put it. Then it was
too late, for she didn’t know the man’s
address, and many days she spent tel
egraphing to his firm, which she re
membered to have heard him mention,
inquiring as to his whereabouts. And
the mortification of the affair! Sh-3
will never get over it.

DANCES HIMSELF TO DEATH.
ST. LOUIS. 1 •pc. 27.—The death of
1 Joseph L Barron, of No. 5246 Taulln
avenue, who collapsed in the midst of
a waltz, was due to heart disease, menu
i hers of his family assert.
ing when at the bal poudre given by
the Cotillion Club only two women
appeared in fancy dress. One was |
Katherine Ellis, who always enters
into everything with the proper spirit
and has the most fun of anybody
there. She represented Madame Pom
padour in her pretty lavender flow
ered taffeta made with panniers and
trimmed in creamy lace. And Mrs.
LeRoy Childs wore the quaintest yel
low* brocade satin, which 1 hear is
ah heirloom in her family and was
made somewhere back in the Colo
nial days. She has a very piquant
manner und her dark hair and eyes
showed that yellow* is certainly the
brunette’s color.
There were lots of pretty girls and
many handsome men, although you
know* the Cotillion Club has only 60
members and there is never a crowd
ed ballroom floor as at other occa
sions. This club is noted for its ex
clusiveness, and each year the de
butantes are afraid that they will not
"get bids” to the cotillion. Nothing
else matters so much. However, l think
nearly all were there this time, for
they are so very, very winsome and
bewitching that the men are crazy
about taking them places. ’Some of
the belles of two seasons ago felt
bad. 1 know, for one lassie told me
that this was the first cotillion she
had ever missed since she made her
debut, and she was beginning to be
lieve that meant she had beerv laid
J aside for someone younger and may
be prettier than she. But I am in
clined to think there w*ere other rea
sons for the failing to be there. If
she wouldn’t trip about the country
I from New YOrk to Florida so oon-
| stantly her friends would know how
to count on her, but, as it is, they
have no assurance she will be here
when the night arrives.
Until this year it has been cus
tomary with the Cotillion Club to
have a theater night and later go to
the club for their cotillion. I remem
ber that the boxes were always filled
with beautifully gowned and bejew-
eled women, and everybody in the
parquet was required to dress in full
evening apparel. That was consid
ered the most brilliant occasion thea
trically during the whole season, and
I was disappointed to hear this fall
that there would be no box parties
be the last person in the w*orld to
gainsay them that risht. But dear
me, lovers are so thoughtless that it
might be a little less embarrassing to
people in general if certain restric
tions are observed sometimes.
There are two delightful young
friends of mine now who might illus
trate this little sermon of mine. The
fond lovers were standing at the front
door of the young woman’s home on
Spring street the other night, appar
ently oblivious of the chilly atmos
phere, and of everything else. It was
midnight’s witching hour. He was
leaning against the doorpost, telling
her softly the same swe^** things he
had told her time and again, and she
was gazing rapturouslv into his eyes,
believing every word. So onrapt were
they both that they heard nothing
else, especially not the prolonged tin
kle of a bell that sounded somewhere
within the house.
Suddenly the door oened, and there
stood father. The astonished pair
turned toward him, a little guiltily, 1
must admit. However, father had only
a message that allayed their fears.
He called the young man by his
Christian name—how I am tempted to
tell you what it was!
"You know, I have never objected
to your staying late," he said, "and
I am not going to sav anything about
that now, but for goodness sake stop
leaning against that doorpost. Some
of us want to sleet*.’’

OW we missed the John D. Littles
from the Bal Poudre at the
Capital City Club Monday! And
Mr. Little a former ^resident of the
Cotillion Club! Everyone was asking
where he could be on this very first
time of his absence. I happened to
know, though, that he and his charm
ing wife had left only that morning
for their beautiful country place,
"Oakland," in Southwest Georgia, to
prepare for the elaborate house party
they are now entertaining. They are
very, verv fond of having the young
people around them, and nothing

E are all so glad to have Judge
and Mrs. William Bailey La
mar back with us for Christ
mas, and at th-i same time it is too
bad that they will not be here long.
Judge Lamar, you know, jumps from
Washington, where he was in Con
gress. even farther away to San Fran
cisco. They have made him Georgia’s
representative at the Panaiha Exposi
tion, or something.
But there is no public call that
could have kept him and Mrs. Lamar
away from Atlanta, at Christmas time.
Mrs. Lamar, who you all knew and
loved as Ethel Toy, has never been
away from her father and brothers at
Christmas, and she couldn’t think of
doing so this year.
There must be great rejoicing in the
Toy household now. I hear that Bok-
over Toy, who recently moved his
headquarters to Columbia, S. C., is
back for the holidays.
While here, Mrs. Lamar and her
distinguished husband will be lavishly
entertained, and Mrs. Lamar will have
splendid opportunities *--» display her
handsome toilettes. She is always so
beautifully gowned, and for a long
time she been Hno wn for her ex
quisite taste in dressing. Being in her
official position, she doubtless has
more gorgeous*clothes than ordinarily.
