Mrs. Bryan's Talk at Club the Feature of Thursday The feature of Mrs. Bryan's day In Atlanta was the reception given in her honor at the Woman's Club rooms from 6:10 to 6:30 Thursday afternoon. On this occasion over one hundred and fifty of the representative club women of Atlanta, and their friends, had the opportunity of meeting Mrs. Bryan. Many of them were enabled to chat Informally with her on subjects In which the average woman Is Inter ested, and all of them heard her speak on the subject which may be said to command a large share of the twen tieth century woman's time and thought—the work of women's clubs. After Mrs. Bryan had shaken hands with the women who called, she was asked by Mrs. Zahner to make an In formal talk on w hat the club women of the West has accomplished. Although the request was unexpect ed by Mrs. Bryan, she at once gra- olously replied that she would gladly accede to It. She was gracefully and briefly Introduced by Mrs. Robert Zah ner, retiring president of the club. Mrs. Bryan’s manner in speaking Is entirely unembarrassed, simple, and di rect, and Is characteristic of the wom an, whose splendid poise was the first attribute to Impress all who met her. Mrs. Bryan has for years been one of the most active nnd prominent club women df the West, and was able to give In a brief talk a very comprehen sive account of the work being done by them. Circulating Libraries, Beginning In a modest way to es tablish circulating libraries In Nebras^ ka, the club woman of that state found existing a crying need for Just such an Innovation. A traveling secretary Is now employed by the federation to give her entire time to the promotion of the movement. More significant than this, however, Is the fact that the state legislature is now Interested, and Mrs. W. J. Bryan Guest At Elegant Dinner TWille the Honorable William Jen- nlrtgs Bryan and party of gentlemeii were banqueting at the Piedmont Hotel, Mrs, Bryan and a party of JadJes en Joyed an elegant dinner In the cafe. Mrs. Bryan was gowned In a soft white silk toilette trimmed .with very handsome lace. About her neck she wore an exquisite collar of pearls, each pearl being selected from the precious gems of Constantinople. Mrs. Hoke Smith wore a prlncesse .gown of white mousseilne, trimmed with baby Irish lace. Her hat of white hras trimmed with plumes. Mrs. Sum J ones wore n toilette of corn-colored chiffon, fashioned with «old lace. With this toilette she wore jt hat of white trimmed with white plumes and a touch of black velvet. Mrs. Louis I). Farley, of Montgomery, wm much admired in a gown of white and black silk, trimmed with duchess lace. Her hut of black was trimmed with plumes and Algretjes. Mrs. J. K. Orr wore white batiste fashioned with dainty laces. Hhe wore a hat of white lace with this gown. Mrs. Burton Smith wore a gown of .pale blue ellk nutile prime.. nml trlm- imed with lrleh Inee. Her hnt of white was trimmed with black plumee. lire. Lnul, Gholatln was gowned In black brocaded ellk embroidered In Jet. ' A hnt of blnck with a touch of blue 'completed this toilette. Mr,. Lowry Arnold', town wn, of white battete elaborately trimmed with Valenciennes lace. She wore a hnt of ,ivhtte lace and plumee. ceee gown made of champagne ellk and trimmed with lace. A hat of th.jHUip* uolnr. was trimmed with red roeee, -' The conversation at the tablu spar- kled with wit and good friendship ae the Indies who had been together all during the day had become very Rood friends and the nheenco of nil formal ity made the occasion a delightful one. During the conversation, Mrs. tlrynn spoke of her travels, nnd said: "Asia was perhaps more Interesting to me than Europe, It was so novel, go different from anything I had seen." Mrs. Bryan, although she has travel ed a great deal and been entertained extensively, she 1s very averse to talking about Iterself, but during her brief stay the ladles who were with her most of the time found her most at tractive. I’pon being asked If she would visit Atlnntn when she was the president’s wife, she replied: "I hn|>e you will not tnako me wait so long." About 10 n’clook the gentlemen sent for the ladles to Join them In the par lors where the speaking would take place. Upon Mrs. Hryan’s entrance she wns given a cordial ovation by the sev eral hundred men who had ussemhled to hear the speeches. She was easily distinguished from the other ladles, as she wore no hat. After listening to the men for some time Mrs. Bryan nnd the ladles re paired to Mrs. Bryan's apartments, w here she changed her dinner gown for her traveling suit, and. with Mr. Bryan, left the city for Birmingham. Work Along Civle Lines. Particularly Interesting and oppor tune was Mrs. Bryan’s account of the work of the civic section of her club. Prizes have been offered for the best kept lawns and gardens, and the Inter, est awakened has resulted In an ele vation of the civic standard. Not con tent with the Improvement of home grounds, the club women turned their nttentlon to the streets of the city In which there has been a.marked Im provement. In this subject Mrs. Bry an touched a sympathetic chord, for It Is ngreed that any steps taken In At lanta toward civic Improvement must meet with the approval of her every citizen. Tribute to Southern Women. Mrs. Bryan closed her talk with pretty little tribute to Southern wom en, saying that she had observed not only the energy and ability of the Southern woman, but a certain power she has of always looking pretty and being gracious. “Apropos of Mrs. Bryan and the Southern women," said one of the most prominent club women of Oeorgla Thursday, ”1 can tell you an Interesting little story In that connection. It was some years ngo, before the club work In the South waa nearly so well or ganized ns It Is now, nnd when the Oeorgla Federation wns only an Infant, so to speak, and far from a strong one, that Mrs. Bryan and I were at a na tional convention together. Well, It wns Mrs. Bryan and through her In fluence, the Nebraska delegation, that were so Influential In electing a South ern president. I always felt that the Southern Club woman should be most grateful to Mrs. Bryan for her cham pionship of our section at that time.” A Brilliant Reception. The club rooms presented a beauti ful appearance Thursday afternoon. The decorations were of palms, ferns, and salvia, and tiny silk flags added a patriotic note that was most appro priate. In the receiving line stood Mrs. Zah ner, retiring president; Mrs. Bryan. Mrs. A. McD. Wilson, Mrs. Joseph M. Terrell, Mrs. J. I.lndsay Johnson, Mrs Bolling Jones, Mrs. W. M. Scott, Mm Edward Warner, Mrs. Sam Jones. Mrs. Zahner wore black net over gray silk. Mrs. Brynn was gowned In black crepe do chine, made with a low yoke of lace over white satin.

WHAT CON8TITUTE8 A 80CIAL LEADER. Cholly Knickerbocker, who has an unusually huppy faculty for saying kindly things, without the slightest tinge of snobbery, qr toadyism, has expressed his views very recently as to the cause of Mrs. Astor’s wonderful social success, In a most readable arti cle. Among other things he says: "Leaders—social, political and finan cial—are born, not made. Men and women in these three branches of civ ilised environment—these three cover Ing all other branches and making them minor and subjective—take their own positions, some to lead, some to follow. Time nnd circumstances may get In the way or make the Inevitable drag along to seemingly Interminable lengths before master or mistress can be sifted to his or her own position, but unless providence takes away the one born to lead, the position comes naturally—though sooner or later—and comes as surely as the night follows day. "Social, political or financial leaders enn not be made by votes, appointed or selected. Given a chance—and even a chance against which are long odds— and you tlnd your lender there because of himself, or herself, and never be cause of others, though others may stand at the gate holding it open or salaaming ns the leader passes. "For years there has been the gossip of ’who comes next?’—after Mrs. Astor social leader. Without waitlfig for Mrs. Astor to vacate or abdicate the throne of leader, there have been ambi tious women who have attempted to dictate and direct society as head, but they have reigned supreme only in their own mental domain, for the reason that they have missed the one little link that makes Mrs. Astor queen of the social world this side of the At lantic, and which holds to her the posi tion, and will so long ns she lives. This link, In itself, Is not of Mrs. Astor's making—It Is not of society’s making. It Is the inborn traits of character that makes Mrs. Astor, and her kind, the same to servants, as to her guests nnd to her friends, the same with wealth as without wealth. With wealth, Mrs. Astor has been enabled to take the position that has been accord ed to her. but without this ‘link’ all the wealth of all the nations could not have Long Kid Gloves it To blend with or match any color of costume with which they are worn—that is the idea.

There ha* never been an Instant In her life that ahe has not first, before self, considered the man or woman to whom she waa talk ing. This position she has held so gracefully and so long has been given to her Involuntarily because of the un disputed and never varying kindness In her heart toward those who come with in her circle. This kindness made for her no enemies, neither did It suggest any social rivalry or striving on the part of others. If she has been exclu sive, It has been more because there was nothing In common between her and many whom she could have met socially than because of any desire on her part to draw fine lines. Her Invi tation Hat probably ta longer today than that of any other woman of the recog nized social world who does much en tertaining. If names have been omit ted It was not at her dictation so much as at the suggestion of friends who wanted to save the loved woman the annoyance of meeting people who would In no way Interest her. This gentleness and kindness of Mrs. Astor, the unassuming sweetness with the high-bred manner that at tlpiea has seemed cold dignity, has moved every one who knew her to want to protect her. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Astor per sonally la democratic, and chooses for herself without the question, ‘Do they belong?' There are to her certain at tributes of birth that make the social passport that wealth can not buy.” WALTER BALLARD OP TICAL CO.
