■ N the days we’re living In It’s
I alght to see a homo lighted with
* candles. But here Is one pleasant
plac eeven In Atlanta’s suburbs, where
only tho glow of numerous candles
replaces the daylight. This te at Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Alstons charming
place on the Wieuca road. One can
not imagine the soft effect of such
lighting after the glare of electric
globes.
I heard Mra. Hinton Hopkins tell
ing a group of friends recently of a
wonderful home she visited in New
Tork last week—that of Mr. and Mra.
Willard S. Brown, on East Thirty-
fifth street, which Is lighted only with
candles. The Willard home, where
Mrs. Hopkins was entertained at a
dinner party on her visit, Is furnished
In rare old Flemish oak—most of
which was brought from former
churches of Switzerland. The table
around which t > f ner party wan
seated wae a former communion ta
ble. rich with hand carvings and mel-
low-hued with age. Only candles
would be appropriate for such sur
roundings, to be sure.
Mrs. Brown, by the way. will prob
ably visit Mrs. Hopkins In Atlanta.
She is a daughter of the famous Cu-
nard who originated the line of steam
ships of that name, and her husband
is a member of an old Knickerbocker
family.

T HE past week has been redolent
of the Christmas sDirit, and if
I talk too much of this subject
you must not forget that the de
mands of the season were insistent.
One of the most interesting things
about Christmas is mistletoe, and
many are the stories I am hearing
anent the little white berries. One of
my young friends who displayed no
sprig of mistletoe among the wreaths
and greens of her decorations sadly
explained to me the cause of her
omission.
“I was downtown the day before
Christmas and mother called me to
say, 'Bring home some wreaths and
holJy to decorate to-day—and if you
want any mistletoe, you can bring
some. You are the only girl here, and
you can do as you please about the
mistletoe.’ Now, I thought that was
real mean of mother—putting it up
to me like that.” OF COURSE there
was no mistletoe!
• • •
O H, those eggnog parties—there’s
nothing like ’em outside of
“Dixie,” T am sure. In other
places one hears of punch that has
become a knockout, but it seems that
only a Southern-bom palate ran duly

I HEAR Miss Harrie Fumade, whom
everybody in Atlanta knows and
is interested in, has been having
wonderful success this year with her
“warbling” entertainment* in New
York. Several evenings ago Miss
Fumade was Invited out to Castle-on-
the-Hudson, *vhere she gave her pro
gram before the senior class of that
Institution. The only “freshie” pres
ent was Marjorie Weldon, of Atlanta,
whoee home town was responsible for
her being especially invited to hear
Miss Fumade.
Atlantans will recall with much
pleasure the many, many times Miss
Harrie Fumade has delighted dinner
parties and other affairs with her rare
gift of imitating Southern songbirds,
long before she ever thought of a
professional career based on this tal
ent. That she has succeeded in her
work in New York will be delightful
news to all who knew her while she
was a resident of Atlanta.

HERE is alwnys something par
ticular about the entertaining
of Atlanta maids and matrons.
Every day I get evidences of this
from parties, large and small. On
Christmas Eve night, for instance, tho
chafing dish supper given for Vir
ginia Lipscomb by her cousin, Mrs.
Ewell (lay. was characterized by as
pleasing a bit of sentiment as ever 1
have known.
When young Mrs. (lay was mar
ried a few short months ago, she was
given many electric cooking things —
chafing dishes, toasters and the like.
So, at this Christmas party for her
unmarried friends this clever chate
laine of a brand-new home gave each
girl as she entered a nice little kitch
en apron and an electric affair of
some kind, with instructions as to
how to cook the rare-bit or toast the
bread. Soon a delicious supper was
prepared by these many cooks, w'10
did not spoil the broth, and the new
electric cooking utensils were thus
dedicated to hospitality.

W HEN the young son of Mr. and
Mrs. Rlngland Fisher Kilpat
rick. of New York, had Mb first
batch of telegrams read to him, upon
the second morning of his life on this
placet, he seemed to be amused at
one sent by hts unde, “June” Ogles
by, of Atlanta (I have his grand
mother’s word for It.)
"Hoc der Kaiser," ran the telegram.
“Long life live Rez the Second."
Atlanta Is much Interested In this
new New York baby. His mother
was Miss Eugenia Oglesby, formerly
one of Atlanta’s very popular girls.
For the several years since her mar
riage “Rex" Kilpatrick has accom
panied his wife on many visits to this
city; so that both are regarded as
Atlantans. And when "Rex the Sec
ond" pays his first visit here Atlanta
Is going to “put her mark" on him as
well.
S'
PEAKING of Christmas and the
"kiddies” reminds me that
Christmas Day was the birth
day of the dear little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William C. Hall. When she
arrived, a year or two ago, little Miss
Hall was named for uer mother, hut
she has always been called “Noel."
which, you probably know, means
Christmas. The name is lovely, and
so is the little maid. Curiously enough,
her real name is Christine, which sug
gests Christmas, too.

I HAVE noted with pleasure the re
turn of Miss Margaret McKee to
social affairs of late. She is still
on crutches, from her accident of
some weeks ago, when her favorite
horse turned traitor and threw' her off,
but soon she will be tripping the light
fantastic again. In the meantime,
several of her former partners sat out
dances the other night at the Driving
Club. Mrs. James T. Williams Is an
other convalescing member of the so
cial world whose friends have missed
her much in these holiday parties, of
which she is always a bright par
ticular star.

HE announcement made this
week of the engagement of
Mrs. Ethel Hillyer Harris, of
Rome, to a well-known Birmingham
man has called forth many reminis
cent remarks from friends of the
bride-to-be, who has paid numerous
and extended visits here since she
was a girl, and is as well known as
in Rome
I wonder if Mrs. Harris remembers
The Widows’ League” and what a
stir it made in Ro—. No, I mean in
Atlanta, once upon a time. Mrs. Har- j
rls, I have been told, was one of the
prime movers In “The Widows’
League.” It seems that three young
and attractive widows, amon~ them
being Mrs. Harris (and the other two
Atlantans), happened to be lunching
together one day, and In casual talk
someone said, “Let’s form a Widows'
League.” So they spread broadcast
the news of this organization, if or
ganization It can be called. Every
eligible man that any one of the trio
knew was elected and announced a
member of “The Widows’ League.”
Soon applications to Join this mys
terious “Widows’ League” came pour
ing in upon the trio who constituted
the governing board. Rich widows,
poor widows, young and old widows—
and lots of "Old Maids” (yes, we had
them In those days) clamored to Join
the Widows’ League. And there was
really nothing to it hut the name.
But then there are many vast and
powerful and secret organizations in
the world of the same kind—nothing
to ’em but a name.

I A* ORE than 20,000 postcards, de-
signed by Mrs. W. B. Cummings,
■ * president of the Woman’s IJfe
Study Club and vice president of the
Atlanta Peace Society, have been dis
tributed among the clubwomen of Geor
gia and other States.
The card represents America's mes
sage to the world and Is a United
States flag, with a scroll across its folds,
bearing the word “Peace” in emblemat
ic colors, and the text, “Love Is the
Golden Link of Eternal Truth and
Light.” The Goddess of Liberty uphold
ing the torch lights and sky on which
the dove of peace with the olive branch
is flying. Tra colors in the inscription
are red. for love; yellow, for the golden
chain of fellowship; green, for life;
blue, for truth; purple, for light.
In speaking of her achievement, Mrs.
Cummings said, "I designed the card
simply for the sister clubs of the City
Federation, never dreaming It would
become popular, as one for general dis
tribution. One business firm has asked
me for the right to send out 6,000. One
firm has taken 1,000 and several have
taken 8,000 to 4,000 of the cards for
their Christmas greetings to custo
mers.”
Mrs. Cummings has composed sev
eral beautiful songs, which fyave been
illustrated with lantern slides, and she
has written many poems which have
become popular.
T HE past week has witnessed more
activities on the part of club
women along charitable lines thaji
ever before in the history of Atlanta.
The poor and the children of the city
have had ample provision made for
their happiness, and many practical
and greatly needed articles of clothing
have been distributed by the various
clubs.
The Child Welfare Committee from
the Atlanta Women’s Club gave a
Christmas tree Tuesday to 200 children
who had no other Christmas pleasures.
Each child was given a stocking filled
with candies, fruits, nuts and toys. Ar
ticles of clothing and other useful things
w'ere distributed. The tree was given
under the management of the Child

PEAKING of war-time economy,
1 think that Mrs. H. Clay
Moore, one of our very’ smart
young matrons, has hit upon quite
the cleverest plan for pleasure with
out cost this winter, of anyone I
know. When asked if she were going
to the dance exhibition at the Audi
torium the other day, Mrs. Moore re
plied;
“Oh, yes. we go to everything ihat'a
HIS bride-to-be had the reputa
tion of being "slow pay,” in the
parlance of the makers of smart
gowns. So the wary person who
fashioned the bridal toilet hit upon a
grand plan—she would send the wed
ding gown out very' late, on the day
of the wedding, with unyielding ”C.
O. D.” instructions to the errand boy,
the idea being that the bride-to-be
would have to pay for a wedding
gown if she got one at that late hour.
After an all-day session at the tele
phone, the bride-to-be was happy to
greet the errand boy with her wed
ding gown, at precisely 7 o’clock—
Just an hour before the ceremony.
Hold your breath, now, while I tell
you the rest of the tale! The errand
boy was ushered Into a spare room,
the box taken away from him and
the lock turned in the door! Shortly
after 8 o’clock he was released, WUh
a nice little "treat" of ice cream and
wedding cake; the box of wedding
gown thrust into his arms and in
structions given to tell the dress
maker that the gown “would not do at
all, and it wasn’t needed now, any
way!’’ I imagine some bride-to-be
could get a wedding gown cheap now
from this chagrined dressmaker—:t
is almost as good as new, too, for
’twas worn only for one short cere
mony.

TRUST that l shall not be accused
of violating Atlanta’s neutrality
if. I record the funniest war Joke
I have heard so far. This was brought
to Atlanta by one of our prominent
citizens, who claims that it was de
leted by the censor from one of the
big New’ York shows. How he heard
it, if deleted, I leave you to find out
The scene represents a newspaper of
fice. with the owner of the paper and
the editor holding a confab. (Down at
our office we’ve named that editor,
too.)
“Another one from the Kaiser,” says
the owner of the paper as he takes a
cablegram from the boy. “Triumphal
entry’ into London unavoidably post
poned,” reads the proprietor. “Cancel
my double turn with Keif Hardle at
the Empire. God is still with us. The
Kaiser.”
“Take down this answer,” the pro
prietor continues. “Regret your non-
appearance. The Empire will give you
warmest welcome when you do arrive.
Trust your relations with the Deity
are unimpaired.” “Wouldn't it be
shorter, sir,” suggests the managing
editor, “simply to say ’Gawd help you’
if you know what I mean?”

T IE debutantes of 1911 are still do
ing things, believe me. Why, they
tell me that their little all-day
stand at a “movie” show last week
netted them several hundred dollars
for their pet charity—the Julia How
ell memorial ward at the Home for
Incurables. One of the girls sold
fifty dollars’ worth of tickets—at ten
cents apiece, too. You can figure out
for yourself that she vras some little
seller. In the light that beats about
the thrones of the season’s buds we
are apt to forget that the two-year-
olds and those of other years, as far
back as one likes to go, are there, too,
a brilliant background—more or less
of a background—for the debutante.

T HE tip-toe of expectation” is a
well-worn phrase which arises
naturally to hand when I think
of the holiday visitor to be the guest
of Mrs. Franklin Mlkell this week and
of the favored men who hold an In
vitation to call upon Miss Rivers, of
New’ York. You know-, Mrs. Mlkell
has been widely quoted as having said
that she “would never undertake to
entertain any girl who is not beauti
ful and charming.” Now, there are
lots of men who hold this same opin
ion and it is they who are on “the tip
toe of expectation,” as aforesaid.
• • •
A S an aftermath of the story’ I
gave you last week of the cost
of Rosalie Davis' debut party,
“war or no war,” I have since learned
that all the beautiful decorations
which were not perishable were sent
by the debutante to the various char
itable organizations in the city and
were used to decorate Christmas
trees for the poor children. All that
sparkling “snow,” and the colored
electTic lights and so forth whioh
made the debut party of this charm
ing girl so effective, served to bedeck
many Christmas trees this week. Who
say8 debutantes are heartless crea
tures?

T HERE Is one Atlanta girl who is
having a happy holiday down
on the Mississippi this year.
Miss Em Baker, who is the central
figure of a big. old-fashioned house
party at Alexandria, is enjoying an
unusual and very delightful Christ
mas. She is the guest of Mrs. Wal
lace Alexander, whose fine old colo
nial home is a show place of the
county. You will recall that Miss
Baker visited at this country place
last year when Miss Angellque Alex
ander was married to Hollis Gray, of
Louisville, at a notable Southern cer
emony. The Hollis Grays are there
for the Christmas house party, too,
and joy reigns supreme. Miss Baker
will pay a series of visits, I am told,
before coming home, among these a
stay of two weeks with the daughter-
in-law of the Governor of Louisiana.
This good-looking Atlanta girl was
the belle of the ball, I am told, at a
recent affair of the season, wearing
for the occasion a white satin and
black tulle gdwn with meteor roses—
a toilet which must have been very
effective for her Spanish type of
beauty.

M ISS LAURA LEE COONEY Is
being given the glad hand cn
all sides. I saw two dozen peo
ple shake hands in the space of two
dozen minutes with this charming
young woman, at one of the holiday
dances last week. Miss Cooney has
been out of town for two months
or more, visiting her klnspeople in
New r Orleans. She reports that no city
has more fun on for the holidays than
New Orleans, but that she Is “awfully
glad to be home again.” So are we
“awfully glad” that she is.

I T’S a great pity that Leap Year
is tw’o years off, for I have heard
this week of seven really good
chances for girls who expect to do
the proposing stunt for themselves.
There are eight young bachelors, as
all of us know, who make their home,
sweet home, out at that charming
place in Ansley Park called "Para
dise Hall.” A few short months ago
every man was In love or engaged or
had prospects. Now, the sad tale Is
told of all those young men, with but
a single exception, having been “re
leased” in one way or another, from
their rose chains. Thus seven per
fectly god men chances for girls
with I^eap Year inclinations are
pointed out by Polly—and even the
fortunate man’s sweetheart lives in
Texas! Girlji. this is a word to the
wise.

M ASK balls have been the order of
the day—or rather of the night
—during the past week or so.
There is always a great attraction
about mask balls, and despite the
fact that hey are about the oldest
form of social entertainment in the
world, they are revived again and
again.
The ball that captured the prize for
affairs of this kind, during these mer
ry holiday times in Atlanta, was last
week’s masquerade dance at Segaldo’s
—so I have been told. And the cos
tume which captured the prize at
this prize ball w r as a certain airy,
fairy Turkish trouser affair, worn by
one of our very prettiest and most
popular young belles. Such a “hit”
did this costume make upon the gen
eral public, it formed the subject of
conversation for several days after
the ball.
“Say. did you see L— at the ball
last night?” one young fellow asked
another on the corner next after
noon.
"Why, was that L—V* asked the
other man.
“Of course it was! Don’t you know
her?”
“Yes. I know her all right—but I j

At Grady Hospital the sick children
were given a tree under the manage

was set In the Children’s Ward and was
bright with candles and gifts. This tree
has been an annual gift to the invalid
children of Atlanta for a number of
years.
The Sixteenth Street Episcopal Mis
sion was the scene of a splendid Christ
mas dinner given by the ladles of All
Saints Church and managed by Miss
Wood, deaconess. The table was deco
rated with Christmas flowers and a
white cake ornamented with red roses,
candles and a email tree was placed In
the middle of the table, a gift from Mra
Charles Soiple. The dinner was pre-
} >ared and served by the Mothers' Club

Hundreds of children were made glad
by The Georgian and Sunday American
distribution of gifts. Baskets of toys,
clothing, fruits and candles were sent
to little folk, who otherwise would have
had no attention at this time of gift
giving.
The alumnae of the Girls’ High
School held its annual Christmas festi

morning at 10 o’clock, when fifty young

Miss Mary Moore, assisted by the
teachers of the Girls’ High School, had

was a literary program. There were
many other Christmas entertainments
for the poor of the city, a number of
them given by clubwomen.
