- College Girls q\ a Luncheon
The luncheon given by Miss Mary Burr'Lake at the Piedmont Driving Club Monday was a pretty compliment to fourteen of the college girls who are spending
1 the holidays at home. There were several visitors present, all of them students at Hollins College, Virginia. In the group appear the hostess with four of her guests.
They are, from left to right, Miss Mary Burr Lake? daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lake, of Ponce DeLeon avenue; Miss Elizabeth Juhan, of Macon, the guest of i
i Miss Grace Bloodworth, who was one of the honor guests; Miss Margaret McCarty, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George McCarty, and Miss Louise King, i
; daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George E. King. Miss Cathleen Law appears in the center below.
M R. W. L. STODDART Is a com
paratively newcomer here—be
ing:, I am Informed, a “promis
ing: young: architect.” Anyway, the
vhole affair was a series of peculiar
coincidences, to say the least. After
Mr. Stoddart used the phone booth
of a Peachtree hotel the other day he
went straight home—only to hear his
phone calling angrily, insistently. As
soon as he could get the door un
locked a woman's voice addressed him
over the wires: “Is thfs Mr. Stod
dart? You were in the P Ho
tel booth Just now? Did you find my
gold meshbag?” Mr. Stoddart had
not been lucky.
“Oh, you MUST have found It,” the
voice arose to a shriek. “I had Just
come out when you went In, and I
Ing his room the young man searched
his own pockets—she was so sure,
you know, he felt unrectaln himself.
There was nothing in his pockets but
money—ninety dollars and ten cents,
to be exact! Mr. Stoddart began to
think he might have to explain some
thing; but he made the trip, in fear
and trembling, arriving just in time
to see the meshbag, with ninety dol
lars and ten cents in It- being hand
ed over by Mr. Stoddard—Mr. C. D.
Stoddard, who, it turned' out, had
come.between himself and the lady at
the phone booth!

W HY, Lucile, are you crying?” a
solicitous marine voice sound
ed clear above the chatter of
a dozen young women and men who
were regaling themselves at the soda
fountain “after the show” Monday
evening. Whereupon everyone turned
to gaze upon Miss Kuhrt in aston
ished inquiry. Her broad smile dis
owned the tear upon her damask
cheek, how aver, and soon the com
pany realized that Miss Kuhrt wore
Just under her left eye a bewMtching
black velvet “beauty spot,” with a
tiny glittering rhinestone in the cen
ter. Of course, they were even more
intensely Interested than they would
have been had Miss Kuhrt been real
ly weeping. So they crowded around
her—the men admiring and the girls
envying But no amount of pleading
would swerve Miss Kuhrt's determi
nation to keep as a profound secret
the source of supply of so novel an
aid to beauty. And to date no other
Atlanta girl is wearing a black velvet
“beauty spot” inset with a glinting
diamond point.

I WAS in the “movies” one after
noon last week when a woman,
with her arms full of bundles,
marched past me, gathered up two
children on the front seat and marched
out again. A few minutes later an
other woman did the same thing—and
another. I forgot to watch the pic
tures, In keeping count of these
women with arm* fnll of bundles, who
walked right in and turned around
and walked right out again. HJach
woman got & child, oar two or three,
and finally I realized that these
Christmas shoppers were checking
their children in the movies. I call
It a clever idea, too—seising an op
portunity like that You can see for
yourself—a woman, for fifteen cents,
can provide care and amusement for
her children throughout an afternoon
whilst she goes about her business or
pleasure. The day of woman's titaer-
ty is still dawning!
S a sequel to the shoe story I
submitted for your approval
last week, I have another to of

purpose of Justifying the “Buy-in-

Davison, of Louisiana, was on a visit

left it in there.” Despite circumstan
tial evidence pointing strongly to the
guilt of the accused, he still denied
the charge. \
“It had ninety dollars and ten cents
In It,” the voice insisted. “Surely you
will come up here and explain about
it.” Mr. Stoddart had nothing to ex
plain—or so he thought at the time,
so he promised to come. Before leav-
