W balls, I chanced to mention it
to one of the older women of
the city who knows Atlanta society
from its beginning. Interesting were
her reminiscences of the very first
leap year ball held in this city,
“It was in 1876, 1 think” she sald,
“and | remember that we weren't’
quite so brave about It as girls are

ATLANTA,. GA, SUNDAY, JANUARY 16, 1916,
Mere's anothef instance of the

“The girie all wore calico frocks
and the men wore tles of calice (o

Of course, | didn't deny it. nor
could"have thought for a minute Ml‘
denying it. She is a living retutatlonl
of such a thought. I queried the gen
tle lady about the belles and beaus of
that ball. And some of them she
mentioned I remember. There were
Miss Nellie Peters (now Mrs. Black),
Mrs. P. H. Snook, Miss Augusta Hill
(later Mrs. Joseph Thompson), Mrs.
Lewis Clark, Mrs. J. H. Morgan,
Misses Leila Pullen, Georgia Cooper,
Gussie Mitchell—*maiden names”
these, long since forgdtten bv thelrl
friends, who know them now as mem
bers of Atlanta’s Pioneer Soclety
mayhap. ‘
Somewhat like a modern girl, this
belle of the sixties could recall many‘
more of the men'et the leap year ball
than women! |
“Phere was Henry Grady, Haynel
Ellis, Joseph Thompson, Ralph Pe
ters, Hugh Angier, Louis Orme, Ben

Miss Marjorie Davidson, of St. Joseph, La., on left, the guest of Mrs. Beaumont Davison, of Druid Hilis. In the
center, a group of Atlanta girls at the Driving Club tea-dance, in*clnu’d‘e- M:u Gladys Byr:i (leh).' Mfuml‘:l:i I
Amorous (center) and
Miss Janet Hatcher. On
the extreme right stands
Miss Helen Barnes, of Ma
con, the lovely guest of
Mrs. John Marshall Slaton.
Many parties have been
given for the visitors.
Hill, “the Alexander boys,” Jullus,
('larence and Joseph Albert; Major
J. H. Morgan, Sldney Dell, Joseph
Scrutchin, and ever so many more.”
I believe some of those men wentl
“stag,” even to‘a leax‘) year ball! J
T the brilliant reception last week
A when the new Mrs. Wilson madei
her debut as hostess of the
White House, Mrs. E. W. Cole, of
Nashville, was among the women
singled out as being most elegantly
be-jeweled in the great throng.
Washington being the city of a'l
others in this country where gorgeous
jewels are displayed, the triumph of
Mrs. Cole i§ all the more wonderfui.
Atlanta knows and likes this grande
dame of the South for her cordial,
gracious personality and for her loyal
support of our opera season. Not a
single year, if T recall correctly, has

Ny
' Mrs. Cole falled to have a box and |
to do her part toward making At
lanta's week of grand opera a success,
On some of these occasions we have
seen the gorgeous emeralds with
which she bedazzled even a Presi
dential reception.
Among the guests at this affair
Iwhioh attracted the attention of so
ciety all over the United States was
charming Mrs. Albert L. Mills, one
of the most popular women who has
ever sojourned in our midst. Mrs.
Mills wore a cloth of silver gown with
Iwhite tulle draperies and some hand
some diamonds. t
I The new First Lady, who was the
cynosure of all eyes, was sald to have
been lovely, and so she must have
been, in a robe of silver brocade soft
lened with tulle and made with a full
court train. y

larity called for mention in accounts
of the affair. Callie wore white satin,
with pearl embroidery and Spanish
fringe. . 4
Mamie Ansley timed her departure
from Washington at an Inoppeortune
moment it seems to me; for, after
five weeks’' visit with Callie, she re
turned just before the new Mrs. Wil
son made her debut. However, Mamie
went to stay two weeks, I bellave,'
and was persuaded to remain flve;
so she had a great time, anyway, evgnl
if she did miss the White House at_-'I
Irair. A dinner-party or two on the
Mayflower, several Annapolls bam.l
Inumerous affairs at the Chevy Chusq'
‘and the Army and Navy clubs—and
her picture in The Post—were solne
of the pleasant incidents of Mamie's |
visit.

E our first “regularly” married
brides of the new vyear, wili

trousseau. First and foremost, is the
veil which she will wear with her

old and has been worn by several
generations of brides in Esther’s fam
