Mrs. Bryan's Talk at % Glub 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 5:30 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 tleth century woman's time and thought—the vfcork of women’s clubs. After Mrs. Bryan hod shaken hands with the women who called, she was asked by Mrs. Zahner to make an In formal talk on what the club women of the West hAs Accomplished. Although the request was unexpect ed by Mrs. Bryan, she at once gra ciously 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 and prominent club women of 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 tho state legislature is now interested, and has given an appropriation to this work, which work has proven of prac tical educational value, as well as Mrs. W. J. Bryan. Guest At Elegant Dinner While the Honorable William Jen nings Bryan and party of gentlemen were banqueting at the Piedmont Hotel, Mrs. Bryan and a party of ladles en joyed an elegant dinner In the cafe. Mrs. Bryan was gowned In a soft tvhltj silk toilette trimmed with very handsome lace. About ffer 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 mousseline, trimmed with baby Irish lace. Her hat of white *vaS trimmed with plumes. Mrs. Sam Jones wore a toilette of corn-colored chiffon, fashioned with gold lace. With this toilette she wore st hat of whlto trimmed with white plumes and a touch of black velvet. Mrs. Louis B. Farley, of Montgomery, was much admired in a gown of whlto and black silk, trimmed with duchess lace. Her hat of black was trimmed w.lth plumes and aigrettes. Mrs. J. K. Orr wore white batiste fashioned with dainty laces. She wore a hat of white lace with this gown. Mrs. Burton Smith wore a gown of . pale blue silk made princess and trltn- imed with Irish Ince. Her hat of white, 'was trimmed with black plumes. Mrs. Louis Gholstln was gowned In black brocaded silk embroidered In Jet. l A hat of black with a touch of blue completed this toilette. Mrs. Lowry Arnold’s gown was of white batiste elaborately trimmed with Valenciennes lace. She wore a hat of White lace and plumes. Pi cess gown made of champagne colored silk and. trimmed with lace. A hat of the same color was trimmed with red rosea.,,. The conversation at. the table spar kled with wit and good friendship the Indies who had been together all during tho day had become very good friends and the absence of all formal ity made the occasion a delightful one. During the conversation, Mrs. Bryan spoke of her travels, and said: ’’Asia was perhaps more interesting to me than Europe, It was so novel, so different from anything I had seen.” Mrs. Bryan, although she has travel ed a great deal and been entertained extensively, she Is very averse to talking about herself, hut during her brief stay the ladles who were with her most of tho time found her most at tractive. Upon being asked If she would visit Atlanta when she was the president's wife, she replied: ”1 hope you will not make me wait so long.” About 10 o’clock the gentlemen sent for the ladles to Join them In the par lors where tho speaking would take place. Upon Mrs. Bryan’s entrance she was given a cordial ovation by the sev eral hundred men w'ho had assembled 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 and the ladles re paired to Mrs. ’ Bryan’s apartments, where she changed her dinner gown for her traveling suit, and, with Mr. Bryan, left the city for Birmingham.

Particularly Interesting and oppor tune waa 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.

In this subject Mrs. Bry an touched a sympathetic chord, for It Is’ agreed 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 worn' 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 Georgia Thursday, "I can tell you an Interesting little story In that connection. It was some years ago. before the club work In the South was nearly so well or ganized ns It Is now. and when the Georgia Federation was 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 was Mrs. Bryan and through her In fluence, the Nebraska delegation, that were so Influential In electing a South ern president. 1 always fell 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 beautl ful appearance Thursday afternoon. The decorations were of palms, ferns, and snlvla, and tiny silk flags added a patriotic note that was most appro priate.

CHURCH RECEPTION. The United Societies of the Second Baptist church, consisting of all the women’s societies of that church, have issued invitations to an afternoon re- WHAT CONSTITUTES A SOCIAL LEADER. Cholly Knickerbocker, who has an unusually happy faculty for saying kindly things, without the slightest tinge of snobbery, or toadyism, has expressed his views very recently as to tho 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 ilized environment—these three cover ing all other branches and making them minor and subjective—take their own positions, some to lend, some to follow. Time and 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 can not be made .by votes, appointed or selected. Given a chance—and even a chance against which are long odds— and you find your leader there because of himself, or herself, and never be cause of others, though others may stand at the gate holding it open or salaaming as the leader passes. "For years there has been the gossip of 'who comes next?’—after Mrs. Astor as social leader. Without waiting 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 and 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 ealth of all the nations could not have Long Kid Gloves In New Shades To.

"The link la courtesy. Mrs. Astor Is born a gentlewoman. She can not be otherwise than she te. There has never been an Instant In her life that ehe has not first, before self, considered the man or woman to whom she was talk ing. This position she has held «o gracefully and so long has been given to her Involuntarily because of the un disputed and never varying kindness In her heart toward thoee 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 pothlng 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 list probably Is longer today than that of any other woman of the recog nized social world who does much en tertaining. It names have been omit ted It was not at her dictation so much as at the suggestl-n of -f-'ends 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 times has seemed cold dignity, has moved every one who knew her to want to protect her. As a matter of fact, Mra. Astor per sonally Is democratic, and chooses for herself without the question. ’Do they belong? 1 There are to her certain at tributes of birth that make the social passport that wealth can 1 not buy."
