b D TTEARKT’S SCNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA, GA.. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 28. 1013. Alabama Girl Weds in Masonic Temple -i-.-j- •!*•+ *•* 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. • * 0 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. * * * mm 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.

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. seemed to them so important thi* year as their own party. With ther are four or five young girls, with itwrv men, both from Atlanta and Macofi and they are certainly having a wm- time. 6 * rea ‘ I can’t imagine more fun than to be had at a Iv party, especially at Christmas time, when there j s much mistletoe hanging around.

Many men and women prominent in social life at the National Capital enjoyed watching the dancers or participat ing in the tangoes and one-steps with ardor.

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 commandry, of the blue lodge and of the Royal Arch Chapter. Among the out-of-town guests were Ben Jacobs, of Birmingham, chairman of the board of control of the Masonic Home in Montgomery; Mrs. C. M. Tomlin son. of Anniston, present grand pa tron of the Order of Eastern Star for the State; Judge Daniel Greene, of Brimingham, past grand master of the A. F. and A.

They had their assurance as well. * * * 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. * * * VVE we had too many costume parties this fall? Are we tired of planning novelties, or have we spent more than we can afford for gowns to be worn only once?

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.
