▼cry distinctive, I suppose you think,
as nearly every street costume you
see this season Is of velvet and fur.
but It Is the style of this one that
sets It apart. It Is really quite like
the costumes worn by students In the
Quartler Latin of the musical comedy
and the romantic novel, with its short
coat, ample side pockets and Jaunty
Tam o’ Sbanter cap. But the unique
feature, which is also the warm fea
ture, is a pair of velvet leggings with
bands of fur around the ankles. I
can imagine that they might be a wel
come innovation, can’t you?
And while we are on the subject of
styles, I have it on excellent authority
that the petticoat is actually coming
Into favor again, Just as we were
coming to regard it as an extinct spe
cies. How quaintly sweet, as some
one I know always says.

Behind me on the car one day
"There sat a matron and a miss,
And bits of conversation reached
My ears that sounded Just like this:
•They say that Jack and Mrs. B "
"Oh, yes, my dear, It'* really sol"
"And now the war has broken out.
Where will the winter tourists go?"

About a widow and a man ”
"The styles this year are simply fierce,
I I don’t see how the women can "
"It really happened at the club r
"The men will take too much to
drink.”
"Tes, I have one Just like It, dear.
Except that mine is blue, not pink.”
"And did you know that Mabel C ,”
"My dear, her hair was once quite
dark!"
"I don't repeat what people say,
This time I saw them In the park."
“What do you think of Mrs. H ?"
“I simply can not understand—”
“It could not Just have happened so,
I think the whole affair was plan

“The Blanks’ new car's a perfect
dream.”
“And did you hdar the latest thing?”
“1 reallv can not stand that girl——"
“A simply gorgeous diamond ring!”
"And Carrie Is In Reno now,
But there, I promised not to tell.
I don't think she would mind you,
dear,
You see you know them both so
well.”

What next ?
wives were waiting for him at home.
And I do hope that the wives would
not be mean enough to expect it. Bet
ter by far to have a late dinner, even
a cold one, than that sport should be
spoiled. I am sure that If any At
lanta wife buys a clock for her hus
band, It will be someone who has
never known the Joys of the so-called
gentle game. A golfer, even the rank
est amateur, would understand too
well to exact any such conduct from
another lover of the sport.

I T Is so nlcs to see two sisters who
like the same things and who go
about as much together as Mrs.
Charles Dannals and Mrs. Jerome
Simmons, Jr., do. I saw them at the
opening of the Hotel Ansley ballroom
the other night, and I do not believe
that either one of them ever looked
more charming. They are two of the
most popular members of the young
married set, and both of them were
very much in demand for the dancing.
Mrs. Dannals wore a smart suit of
black cloth with a large black hat
trimmed In monkey fur, that most
fashionable of all hat trimmings this
season. Mrs. Simmons wore a stun
ning combination of black and white,
a white charmeuse skirt with a short
black velvet coat, a tiny black and
white hat, and patent leather shoes
with white tops. It was one of the
most striking costumes worn.
Hattie May Holland was looking
particularly well that evening, her
suit and hat both being of that lovely
shade of brown that blends so well
with her eyes and hair, and that she
wears so much.

j ^ r-v o you rea d all that Polly Peach -
I ) tree rubbish every week?" a
^ certain man asked me Just the
other day.
"Well, sometimes," I admitted
meekly.
"Well, occasionally It's very good,”
he said grudgingly, "but some weeks
I think It would be much better If she
simply said: ‘I can’t think of anything
to say thisjweek, but I will try to do
better next time.’ It would save every
body a lot of trouble.”
They say there is nothing like see
ing yourself as others see you. and I
certainly hope there Isn't. I confess
that I didn't enjoy the experience a
bit. And I hope that man sees this,
and I hope he feels quite badly about
It. Anyway, I shall console myself by
thinking that because I have never,
never written him up he Is simply
Jealous and spiteful about It. So

T HERE’S a certain drug store
which is Atlanta’s official meet
ing place. oFr this reason the
people who stay In the store have
fallen into the habit of conducting a
regular messenger service between
those who are late and those who are
on time to appointments. The other
day, one of those dreadful days last
week, a girl who lives quite a bit from
the center of town, though I shan’t
say in what direction, had an engage
ment at the store for luncheon with a
man. And It rained—oh, my good
ness, how It rained! She waited
around a bit with her hat and coat
on, hoping that It would hold up, but
when it kept on getting worse and
worse she decided to ca11 up and
break the engagement. He had left
his office, so she gave that most fa
miliar number to central.
“Would you mind stepping out in
front and asking Mr. Blank to come
to the phone?” she Inquired sweetly
of the man who answered.
“I don’t know Mr. Blank,” came the
reply. “How shall I find him?”
“Why, he is small and uite ugly,”
she answered In some confusion.
“Yes, I am sure he will be the ugliest
man there.”
And, with this adequate descrip
tion, Mr. Blank was soon at the
phone. But the trouble all came
when he Insisted on knowing how r the
perfectly strange man knew who he
was, but I am quite sure she will
never tell him.
day morning? She Is such a tiny Ut
ile thing, anyhow, and I never saw
her look so pretty before. Her veil
was l adjusted so becomingly with
pearl bands and sprays of valley lilies.
And, having seen her very lovely
wedding, reminds me of the way Mrs. j
Tom Daniel and her mother, Mrs. |
Singer, made a mistake In the date
and tried to go last week. Way last
Wednesday Mrs. Daniel came down to
breakfast—you remember that the
wedding was at 9 o'clock—and found |
Mrs, Singer dressed to go out. On
being asked where she was going, she
replied:
“To Margaret Harrison's wedding, j
of course."
'•But that's to-morrow," said Mrs.
Daniel. "I know the Invitation said
Thursday."
Accordingly they started out a little
before 9 the next morning, and were
naturally very much surprised when
they found the church empty and un
decorated. Moreover, the sexton told
them that there would be no wedding
there that day.
"It must he at the Church of the
Immaculate Conception," said Mrs
Daniel then, and they set out again.
But the result was the same, and they
finally returned home very much puz-
zled, to discover from the invitation
that they had tried to go to the wed
ding exactly a week before it actually
took place.
to be proud of what they have accom
plished. While away they met Her
man Devries, who used to play Ma
dame Patti’s accompaniments when
she was at the height of her power
and he tjald that Miss Louise's voice
reminded him very much in quality
of tone of her great aunt’s.
Mr. Barlli has been very much wor
ried about his aunt, now the Barone9s
Gedarstrom. as she was on the con
tinent when war was declared, and
could not get a message to her family
for some time, but a reient letter
states that she is safe in England. At
a recent- concert at Albert Hall in
London, for the benefit of tile war
fund, the Baroness, though now 71
years of age, sang with all her old
time charm, an 1 was the chief at -j s ( de walk

And that Is Just one of the things
that he Is doing for children evexy
day; if not his own grandchildren,
then someone else's. And he has
grown old so gracefully that they can
not realize that he Is old at all. I
wish that here were more like him In
the world.
another opportunity will be given us
soon to hear her two talented great-
nieces in the same kind of recital its

T HE very latest thing In the way
of equipment for the golfer, for
- the married golfer, that is is
a tiny, but very accurate, alarm
clock that fastens to the side of his
bag. Thus Is the man reminded that
the dinner hour Is approaching and
that there is aomeone waiting for him
at home. A very good Idea in the ab
stract, but I would like someone to
point out to me Just one solitary golf

would leave in the midst of an in
teresting match at the call of an
despise people who use scented
soap.”
It was a fair-faced young
girl on the Buekhead line edifying her
companions with likes and dislikes in
her budding mind.
“I despise any sort of perfume,” an
other girl spoke.
“Look at that coat,” pointing to the
where a girl stood in a
sport wrap. The girls
giggled.
“1 despise coats like that,” com
mented the first girl.
“My daddy uses something to keep
his face from getting tender when he
shaves, and I despise the scent of it,”
began the first girl all over again.
‘‘Is it bay ruin?” asked the second
girl. “I despise that.”
“No, it’s soap. I like white soap.”
“I despise castile soap,” said the
second girl.
“I like it. I despise rose soap.”
“Do you know ?” naming a well
known boy of the dancing set.
“Yes. I despise him!”
“1 the car stopped and the
girls got oif and all I could hear was

AM really coming to believe what
I didn’t think was possible a
month or two ago, and that Is
that our winter dancing Is going to
be be even more strenuous than our
summer dancing was. It didn't seem
as If we could have gotten In one
more dance step than we did all dur
ing the warm weather, but now In ad
dition to all the regular club affairs
and the entertaining for debutantes,
the Ansley has started supper dances
on Monday evening and tea dances on
Friday that, If the start Is any Indi
cation, are going to be Immensely
popular. Mrs. Forbush Is an ex
ceedingly graceful dancer, and her
partner, Morgan Wheeler, was sever
al years at the Jardin de Danse, In
New York. More recently he was on
the stage and was here last winter
with Otis Skinner In "Kismet."
Then I hear that the Piedmont is
golngMo have supper dances again
after the theater, as they did last
winter, and this will make another
place to go. They say that dancing
Is the best exercise In the world for
reducing flesh, and If that is so,
there ought not to be a single fat
person—man, woman or child—In the
city of Atlanta by the time the win
ter is half over.
r
HE announcement of Lucille
Dennis’ marriage came as some
thing of a surprise to all of us.
Of course, we all knew she was en
gaged to George Wesley Walker, in
fact, it was anaounced a few weeks
ago, but that she had any Idea of
marrying so soon, or In New York
was a secret from all her friend* who
were kept completely in the dark un
til the announcement cards came a
few days ago. We are glad at anj’
rate, that her marriage is not^taking
her away from Atlanta, as they will
be at the Georgian Terrace when they
return from their honeymoon.
SAW Mary Stewart at a reception
the other afternoon, for the first
time since she returned from
abroad, and she is looking unusually
well and pretty this fall, in spite of
the fact that she is trying to keep up
with school and her rather exacting
social duties at the same time. She
is one of the most popular girls In the
younger set, and her sweetness and
charm attract people to her wherever
she goes. This Is her last year at
high school, but as yet she has not
decided whether she will go awdy to
school next year or make her bow to
society. If her friends have anything
to do with it, I am sure she will not
go away, for they missed her so badly
this summer when she was abroad for
three months that 1 know they could
not spare her for an entire winter.
She is very popular with her school
mates, too, and this year has been
given that highest honor that can be
conferred on a high school senior, the
presidency of Browning Society.
H
AS anybody called you up lately
and announced that he has “got
your goat?" It has happened to
quite a number of prominent citizens,
and If you have been overlooked it
may be that you are not prominent
enough to attract attention, or it may
be for any one of a number of rea
sons. We have known J. S. Brogdon
for some time in the role of a chem
ist, but of recent days he has blos
somed forth as a negro dialect artist
of no mean ability, and a conversa
tionalist of long wind and great en
durance, but no very marked charm,
according to some of his victims.
Perhaps his Idea was to provide an
inexpensive amusement for war-time
evenings, or maybe he tried h!s trick
on one person and found that it
worked so well that he couldn't resist
going on with It.
At any rate, he has taken to calling
up prominent citizens of an evening
and his conversational opening, de
livered in the accents of an Uncle
Remus, Is to the effect that he has
seen an advertisement In the paper
for a goat. I wouldn’t attempt to tell
you all of the things he says, but
with our slang in Its present condi
tion, the possibilities are infinite. 1

several of our friends doubt their own
sanity, and when a man gets to that |
point he Is pretty far gone. If It
keeps up I think we shall soon have
the expression "goat story" added to
our vocabulary to take the place of
the ancient and honorable fish story
we have been telling all these years.
