apects to Alda and then all left for
the club, except Madame and Scot
tl, who sat and wailted and walted.
When finally Mr. and Mrs. Caruso
eame down, their sartorial elegance
was worth walting for, especially
his. It is sald that Caruso's clothes
have been toned down a bit by his
wife, but they are still the acme of
correctness If not odd, in any way.
His best effect, I think, is the brown
belted cloth coat which he wears
most Jauntily, with cream trousers
and a white hat.
But to cut a long story short and
to prove my point, the opera siars
did fnally get towether on this one
occaslon., At any rate, they were
under the same roof and four of

Points of Difference—

' difference in this season and
* others, soclally speaking, and here

" sume my original subject.
. After referring to the opera guest
par excellence who does not sing, 1
s Pass on to a second difference
4 Which lay in the more formal as
» m of the social functions and the
formal aspect of the "“between
« Himes” For the first, there was
~ &n absence of the old-time “‘toasts”
and speeches and songs by the stars
. around the festive board. I suppose
this can be accounted for by the
absence of anything to drink the
v toasts In. Quite probably, And
. then, Carusc, as well as others of
t the company, have been lifting their
i volces in trivial song for the sake
* of the war, during the past year,
© they are probably tired of wasting
' the sweetness of their notes on
| dreary airs like Bwanee Ribher and
Annie Laurie. So there was little

Why They Like Atlanta—
l!\‘ Just such fun and frolic do the
opera stars regale themselves
while spending a very happy week
in Atlanta. The fine weather which
18 about the first of spring seen by
the visitors, the flowers blooming
everywhere, the warm welcome ac
corded them, the great audiences
full of enthusiasm, the “open-house”
aspect of the entire clt¥‘ furnishes a
diversion to the singers, as well as
to Atlantans and visitors. As for
the musical aspect of our grand
opera week, I have said little, be-
Ing "ass'gned to do the social” as 1
am. Yet certain it is, and so evi
dent that all can see,:the musical
side of the opera week has counted
more than ever before, this year.
People went (o hear the opera in so
many Instance—not to see from
curfosity, not to be seen. The great
body of the house was not so gayly
costumed as formerly, but, oh, what
a wonderful attention aid they give
to the performance! Aand this is
the best thing-—the main thing—
after all.
CQOO
The Great Thing— -
WITH the coming of opera here,
year after year, with the
stimulation given to it by the news
paper publicity apd the annual
xlul( fostered by the excellent mu
fcal entertainment of other kinds
held here from time to time, Atlanta
and the neighbors are learning to
know and love the best in music,
Now one may not know musie,
which is a misfortune, or love
musie, which s a greater. But
the most unpardonable exhibi
tion of boorishness is to boast of
not knowing or not loving music.
There are many persons who are
entirely unconscious of all the finer
thrills that play across the souls
of men. But such unconsciousness
is not to be valued as an asset,
Of these finer thrills, T take it that
music leads the human personality
nearer to an understanding of that
which we call divinity than any
other art. “Away with thee,” apos
trophizes Jean Paul Richter to
music. *Thou speakest to me of
things I know not and never shall
know'” But on the strains of such
tones as float away toward the
stars from such golden volces as
Coruso’'s, or such silver notes as
Barrientos’, we come nearer to the
Great Secret than by any other art,
coon
Some of the Visitors—
‘Gmmq back to earth and
mine own subjects , | must
say mmethlnz abbat the visitors
who helped Atlanta te make the
social slde of the opera the success
it was. Thlere were many of these
charming visitors in our midst,
shedding glory on the opera audi
ences, the dinner and supper-,
dances, and so forth,
Among the many attractive visi
tors In the young set one of the
daintiest was little Miss Betty An
drews, of Chattanooga. Betty 1s
somewhat like Nellie Dodd in her
style and in her dancing manner
isms, which is enough said, 1 sup
pose, She was a quaint little lady
at Wednesday's tea-dance, wearing
a frock of overseas blue Georgette
and a hat of the same color. I
think Betty danced away with the
hearts of several young men that
afternoon, and I am cxpecting her
to make a return visit here some
day. Miss Ann Bucher, from way
off New Mexico, has been a feted
visitor of the weck, Miss Bucher
is rather on the breezy outdoor
style, a tall and wholesome looking
girl, always wearing good-looking
clothes. At the same tea-dance she
was stunning in blue flowered
Georgette,
Farther away still is the home of
Kitty Brack, who , lives in San
Francisco. Miss Brack is blonde
and pretty and very popular with
Atlantans, Miss Bland Williams,
of South Carolina, was an intvee
esting visitor of the week. Miss
Williams = halls from “Mulberry
Plantations,” near Camden, which
is a unigue mall address, to say
the least of it.
One can tell that Miss Bland Wir
linms has ancestry, not only by her
aristocratic looks and her “Plan
tations™ address, but by the great
diamond which she wears on her
little finger and which It is ex
plained to curious friends is a
seven-stone carat (whatever that
may be) and was the engagement
ring of her grandmother,
Virginia Sawyer, of Mobile, was
In Mrs. Mitchell King's party at
the tea-dance, though Virginia Is
one of the young girls who enjoys
opera better than the parties. She
has a fine contralto volce and 1s
studying with a view to a pos
sible career for her own self., Miss
Major Miller, of Richmond, I 8 an
other visitor with ‘& musical gift.
Miss Miller, however, is a pianist.
She is a striking looking girl with
Titian halr and violet eyes and all
that, She dances well, too, even if
she is a planist.
COoO
In the Picture—
THERE may be some doubt in
the minds of Atlantans ag to
who is the handsomets young ma
tron In the city. But there scems
to be no doubt in the minds of the
opera photographers, One and all,
they selected Mrs, Forrest Adair,
Jr, to pose for their choicest pic
tures, Wag there a photo of Scottl,
immaculate in brown ccat and
cream trouscrs and straw hat at
the tea-dance, with Scotti would he
Mrs. Forrest Adair, Jr.
Was there a table selected amidst
raska; Miss Ethel Tye and
Miss Carolyne Tye, of Atlan
ta; sitting, Miss Francelg
Barnes, of Rider/bead, Long |
Island. The two visitors were
guests of the Misses Tye at
their home here and were
pleasantly entertained during
their stay.

the gay throng on the terrace for
special publicity purposes, one of
the guests at least was sure to be
Mrs. Forrést Adair, Jr.
Was there a stream of automo
biles passing before the camera as
the handsomely gowned women
emerged at the door of the Audi
torium, Mrs. Forrest Adair, Jr.,
stepping out of her car, was the
first one the movie men elected to
snap.
In consequence of the photogra
phers' “flair” for Mrs. Adair's type
of good looks, her picture got Into
the. papers last week almost as
many times as did Caruso’s. And
perhaps she would have equaled
Caruso except for her unwilling
ness to change the character of the
pictures after the regular ones grew
stale, by making faces, as did
Caruso.
Anyway, we all now know that
Julia could be a great movie star,
if not an opera star, should she
choose to take up a career. She
most assuredly photographs well—
and the picture men certainly do
like her face.

Intoxicating Plans—
THIS issue of the paper being
the opera number, I have not
pauséd to look ahead for anything
interesting in a social way this
week. And I do not think I would
find much if 1 did. Only one ex
citing event ahead for members of
the younger set I have been asked
to note. And I uppose, for the sake
of adwertising this event, I should
not write it out, but should eall up
over the phone and tell you about
it, in the manner of one of the
seminary girls in charge. You see
the affair is to be a lawn party for
a special charity in which the sem
inary girls are interested. It is to
take place next Friday afternoon on
the lawn in front of the seminary,
and the pretty girls are to be
dressed up in fancy costume. Yes,
and some of those who aren’t pret.
ty, too. The girls have planned a
very ambitious program, with Cath
erine Hook to be crowned Queen of
the May, or something, and they
have been calling up their friends to
tesl them about it
One special girl who has a little
twist in her tongue made the big
gest hit of all, and as soon as she
gave some of the boys a few de
tails about the affair the news
spread like wildfire and ticket sell
ing became hrisk—or would have
had the tickets been ready-—or
#something.
Anyway, the girl, speaking with
her sweet little lisp, undertook to
say this over the phone:
“All of you boys muth be sure
and come to our lawn party. Were
going 10 wear pretty costumes and
have boothes on the lawn.”
“Hey, fellers,” interrupted the
man to whom she was talking, “get
busy with plans for this Washing
ton Seminary party. They're go-
ing to have ‘booze' all over the
lawn.”
: QUO e
Nothing New to Stars—
I()VEHHF:ARD a remark to this
effect, after one of the opera per
formances last week:
“I'll bet they never get this much
applause in New York, nor have
as much made of them as in At
lanta!”
I arise to say most emphatically
that the speaker loses his bet.
There was never an ovation in
the great crowd of people at the
Auditorium, two or three times as
large a crowd as cam get into the
Metropolitan Opera House, anything
like equal in veolume and enthu
slasm to some of the ovations ac
corded the singers in their own bal
lwick.
It was quite noticeable to visitors
—this lack of demonstrativeness—
and some of them confessed to an
effort in keeping back the “hravos"
from their own lips because of the
conservativeness of the big South
ern audiences,
For instance, of the "good-bye

week ago, just before he came down
to Atlanta, an Atlanta enthusiast
who was present writes:
“After the final curtain, the erowd
brought him out, smiljng, bowing,
saying xoodcb,vo. sixteen times,
Then the aspestos curtain was low
ered and the lights turned off till
the house was in semidarkpess.
“Still six or seven hundred of the
faithful stood and applauded, call
ing ‘bravo,’ and making all sorts
of noises. For fully twenty minutes
this kept up, till the lights were
turned on and Caruso stepped out
in correct street attire. He again
waved and bowed and sang ‘good
bye,' ‘good-bye’ to a great nolse
of applause, whistles, bravos and
handclapping.
“Then the curtain went down
again, the lights were lowered, and
another of the usual Caruso ova
tions was over,
“Certainly Caruso is an idol in
this city of New York: he is fairly
worshiped by his public here.” ‘

Buspicious Looking Persons—
P ERHAPS the photo men touk
Mrs. Adair for an opera stur,
just as several of the more strik
ing looking Atlanta women posed
involuntarily at times for famous
singers.
One of the biggest hits of this
kind was made by Miss Sallie Maud
Jones, who came into a dining room
of assembled opera stars, visitors
and Atlantans one night, wearing
a striking-looking white satin gown,
a rose-colored wrap and a dlamond
necklace, and carrying a rose-col
ored fan, all of which was particu
larly becoming to her brunette,
style,
‘Whereupon a Yisitor jumped up
and ran to the head walter:
“Do tell me, quickly, who that
celecbrity is!”
