Friday night, and would have

“fell for it,” all right. So bewildered
were they over the candidates for the
most charming costume that the oid

Ing an acknowledgment of her invi

tation to something she gives, or a
chance to attend another social af
fair for having been seen at the home:
of Mrs. Silver Wedding; or, perhaps,
indeed, her sanction to his being in
society at all.
Her bow was an acknowledgment
of his having done the proper thing
and of being worthy of social recog
nition; therefore, an acknowledgment,
it you will, of his courtesy—not of
the gratitude for the monetary value
of his present—my goodness, no! So
clety is a business, and one gives for
what one gets, as in everything else
in life.
The Silver Wedding Ladies who
own beautiful homes and give the
brilllant parties are the arbiters of
young men's goclal destinles, and
young men “do the proper thing,” 1. e,
send anniversary gifts, and receive—
another invitation some day.

In this latter class was the lunch
eun party entertained a few days ago
by Mrs. Turner Carson. “Louise” is a
bride of a few weeks' standing, as
vou all know, and the only member of
her little club of fourteen former
“Seminary” girls who has a home of
her own, So when the other girls
were all in the city from school and
elsewhere for the holidays the lunch
eon was given, and the assemblage
included young women who formed a
“bridge club” when they were 13-
year-old schoolgirls. !
The little club met a long time to
play bridge, but, like all the others,
finally fell before the lure of the dance,
and the luncheon was the first re
union in some time. The amusement
of the affair was found in looking
over the bride's pretty home, her wed
ding cfi't- of silver and cut glass, and
80 forth, and herself as the first
“Mrs.” among the number, which still
includes several “schoolgiris”-~Faith

’I'HE epidemic for runaway or sud
den marriages has not struck
out-of-town girls like it has the
Atlanta young women this week so we
still have a number of “interesting
engagements” on our list of an
nouncements.
~ Notable in this list is the news that
Dr. Harold McDuffle is to marry a
girl from the East, instead of follow
ing the example of his “big brother,
Phil,” who came down here, saw the
Atlanta girls and was promptly con-
Qquered by one of the pretiest of them
all. Anyway, it will be of pleasant
interest to all of you [ am
sure, to know that Dr. McDuffle is
going to be married soon and will
bring a lovely young woman from
New Jersey to swell the list of At
lanta's Jpung married women, already
a mast conspleuousty® charming con
tingent. Since coming to Atlanta Dr.
McDuffie has made many friends who
will give his bride a warm welcome.
Although making a Christmas visit
1o see her, Dr. McDuffle will not emu
late the examples of those hasty
young men who came down here last
week and would not go back without
their brides. At least, | suppose he
will not, for the announcement reads
that “the wedding will take place in
km late spring ™
The bride-elect is Miss Mattie Lou
ise Ferguson, of Asbury Park, which
is the old home of Dr. McDuffle. 1
suspect the romance is one of longer
standing than his residence in At
lanta, which perhaps accounts for the
fact that although several of Atlan
ta's pretiest girls tried in vain to—
but that will be about all to-day.
. - .
66 IME men fall for Atlanta girls,
D just like the rest of them.”
The remark was made by a
Roman at that, and the rest of the
story—also the Roman version—fol
lows:
“Not long ago one of Rome's most
popular young women invited six
home girls to be her guests for the
week-end. 80, accordingly, she told
a few of her best boy friends she
was to have six “visitors” from At
lanta and invited them to call. Waell,
#ix Atlanta visitors at one time and
place spread like wild fire in Rome.
and the hostess says her pnone rang
continually all day Friday, becauss
of countless Rome men who begged
dates with the Atlanta gifls, Then
another called up and told her of in
teresting plans for the evening. They
(the men) had secured an orchestra
and were going to give a dance at
the Country Club that night in henor
of the visitors. I’agy told every man
in Rome called that night at her
home, and what could they do? When
they discovered them to be home
friends, they professed to be most
agreeably surprised (?) and the dance
went on, just the same. The Rome
giris got the rush of their lives, too!"

would vouch for the story, Josephine
