Mearly (ar Mise Dargan pointed
oui) there was nothing to do but sit
down and wait for a fire to happen.
And that is just what the trio did,
to the amazement of the firemen,
who were unable to go on with the
chacker game
They walted patiently for one hour,
and there was no fire
“(‘ome on,"’ sald Miss Wyly at last,
#don't vou know that a watched fire
never bolls—that g, burns?”
8o they wenf to a shop and pur
ehased a supply of pretzels and ol
{fves and trundled homeward, com
forting themsslves with these viands
ana the promise of Miss Dargan that
the very next fire that broke out she
would dash madly to the gcene and
telephone the others from the burning
bullding.
Now thev are waliting for the fire
and Misas Rilev with about equal im
patience.

(a 8 a Autitul wife, climber or no

and a nelghbor gaw her, and rather
meanly saluted her from her own
(the nelghbor's) side veranda,
The first bit of repartes that oc
cumed to the first woman was to
ask:
“Wor’t you PLEASE tell me how
to malke corn muffina? My cook dldn't
come this morning and, of course, I'm
HELPLESS without har. How DO
you maks corn mufMns?”
' “Oh, just ths same way vou used

Jeet, ang hardly know whether we ad- |

the most, but I do think that Speaker |
Burwell was very clever when he got i
out of glving a direct answer to Mrs.%
McDougald's questions at the Driving |
Club the other afternoon. Mrs Me- |
Dougald had put forward some of her |
very best arguments, and the Speaker
couldn’t help being impressed, for she !

and {3 & very persuasive talker. Soe- |
ing the impression she had madae, lhn;
finally put the direct question: i
“Just how do YOU stand en the |

The Bpeaker hesitated not at sll

argument the other day between a

way. Bhe finally talked him into si
lence, got in the last word very effec
tively, and departed, flushed with vio
tory. The man mopped his fevered
brow and looked around a little
sheepishly.
“Do yvou know,” he finally admitted,
“In spite of being trampled on, it's

i /Ol.' all remember the anclent
i proverdb that people who love
| in glase houses should pull down
| the blinds. It sometimes applies to
| thoga who &it on the porch, if they
are not careful of thelr backgrounds
| There was & party of us motoring the
| other evening and our machine was
held up behind a street car before a
certain house on the North Side where
T three very charming sisters live. Now,
one of these girls has a snub nose,
one's is slightly Roman and the
third's e pure Greek. The house was
brightly lighted, and the two young
people who were seéated on the porch
wore clearly silhouetted against an
open window But they were i{gno
rant of this fact; at least, I presume
that they were ignorant. At Any rate, |
not only our party, but everybody
on the street car, had a bdeautiful
opportunity to observe the movlngl
picture with the faces blotted out,
whith was going on on the pnrch.l
Just as we werg about to move on,
she moved A little dit away from him, |
ind lifted her face with the profiie |
turned squarely to us. Her nose w.\n;
neither snub nor slightly Roman. It
was pure, pure Greek. ‘

/»ln savs that girls are frivolous |
\x nowadays? Surely not anyone |
who has ever listened to one of |
thelr conversations when no one "‘4
supposed to be near. There wers
four of them piaying bridge the otnul

afternoon, and to look at them you
—ould never have murmured “High-
Yrow.” They wore high-heeled shoes
and embroldered stockings and ab
surd little hats just like the rest of
us, and when I saw them pass 1 was
forcibly reminded of what Gelett
‘Burgess sald in the “Maxims of Me
‘thuselah.” Of course, you remember:
“And think not that every girl who
looks like a malden golng (o a tea is
a stenographer, for some ARE mald
}ens going to a tea.”
Well, anyway, they sat and played
bridge and talked and talked, and
by and by they hecame 80 interested
in the conversation that the cards
wers completely forgotten, and the
afternoon passed, and none of them
got home untll way after dark. A
man would be willing to swear that
they were talking clothes and danc-
Ing and scandal, but he would be sad
ly mistaken. Suffrage, eugenics, phl
losophy, higher education and other
learned subjects came up for discus
slon, and then they talked about what
they were reading—not The Cosmo
politan or The Saturday Evening
Post, but Kant and Strindberg and
Balzac and the Memoirs of Cellini!
And when my informant reached this
point T poked my fingers in my ears
and fled away to write about it. So
you see, you can't say that girls are
frivelous any more. Of course, I am,
but who could help it with a name
like mine? Anyhow, my frivolity is
80 consistent that it is admirable for
that very reason.
. . .
ID you aver hear of anything so
wnusual and attractive as Mrs.
Eila Wright Wilcox's belng
married at 7 in the morning? When
I first heard about it, it struck me as
a very brave thing to do, but she
looked @s fresh and as beautiful as
ever, and that is something that not
many of us do at 7 in the morning.
I'm inciined to belleve that she has
been practicing early riglng far some
tima {n preparation for this, for it is
traditional that women do not look
their best during the early morning
hours., I'm afraid I would be deserted
at the altar if I ever tried any such
thing—-that s, if I didn't oversleep
and forget to come.
. . .
AVE you seen all those lovely
Paris clothes that. Mrs. Donald
Bastman had in her trousseau
and that she is wearing now to the
admiration and despair of all her
feminine friends? She was out at the
' Driving Club the other afternoon In
one of the mort attractive of her cre
ations, one that she calls her bell
frock. It {s of very soft but metallic
looking black silk, and the skirt flares
In a bell-shaped curve ahout her feat,
In the back there is a great big bow
of shining stecly hlue stuff that hangs
from the shoulders and swings back
and forth when she walks or dances
with a motion resemnbling that of the
clapper of a bell. The only difference
18 that it does not ring, but it is one
of the most graceful and unusual
gowns that I've seen this season.

T was at a Driving Club dinner-
Aance and th nga were going very
merrily fcr almost everybody. But
T had one partner who seemed to be
having a sad time of it. He puffed
and he blew and he mopped hia brow,
and he was firally moved to make
goma very uncomplimentary remarks
about dancing in general and his own
dancing irn particular, I Inqguired
sympatheticaly why he did it if he
felt so strongly about it.
“If you look behind you,” he replied,
“you will find the answer to your
question.” 1 looked. And there was
his young and very pretty wife in the
center of an admiring group of men,
each of whom was begging for the
next dance,
“You see,” he continued sadly, “I
just have to."” I gertainly agreed.
e e
HE green hat has gotten here,
and-—oh, it {s SO green! Of
courss, 1 had heard of it, and
that it was on {ts way here, but some
how I never dreamed that it would
look llke that. I wouldn't belleve it
now if I hadn’t seen it with my own
eves, and they have ached ever since.
It came down Peachtrea street and
turned {nto the Candler Building, and
every neck along the way craned as it
went by, Its owner did not cringe or
slink along. Rather, he bore himseif
with a certain jauntiness as if he cun
sidered hlmself quite smart. Pride
ghone in his face and a consciousness
of superior taste. I suffered in gilence
over those blue and white mixtures,
but this was just one thing too much,
It it just hadn't been quite so green!
I really don't like to think about it. ‘

DON'T gee why some of these

back the elders, however, ag nobody

mendous hit, and all kinds of a gay
affair, |
I nominate Colonel and Mrs. Wil-
Ham Lawson Peel to lead. 1

Continues With Renewed Interest
IT IS a season when one expects to get good summer dresses at
small cost. The reason is no secret. It is possible to buy these
dresses at half price in New York. Half price there means half
price here. This is a merchandising fact long established. |
That there is extra advantage in the purchase of 2,500 dresses
in one lot is easily reasoned out; when such is the case, pricestake
an extra “‘slump’’ in favor of the purchaser, and also the blggest
buyer gets the choice of the establishment—of style and quality.
Our system of buying gives us this big advantage—our share
of a recent purchase gave us 500 new dresses here last week—the
following prices will tell a tale of interest to all women.
