D IN THE WOMAN S WORLD 1 Miss Neely’s Brilliant Debut So the social arrivals of Augusta, which have number many of the most brilliant debut parties of the rarest flowers of the southland, was added another laurel last evening, when Miss Moselle Neely, the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Caldwell Neely, of Waynesboro, made her for mal bow to society at a reception, followed by a cotililon at the Country club. The beauty of the Country club, which at all times is in tune to elegance, was accentuated last even ing by the stately elegance of the tropical decorations of wild smilax and palmetto leaves, in striking con trast with the clusters of poincetta blossoms, which added a glowing warmth and cheer to the scene, and which also carried with the Christ mas colors, green and red. The delicate strands of wild smi kx. which swung from the corners of the salan, and on which were pen dants of poincetta blossoms, encircling electric lights, met in the centre of the hall, and were fastened to a large medallion of poincetta blossoms, which was suspended from the ceiling by chains of smllax. The delicate ceiling tracery fell over the side walls in lace-work designs with figures of palmetto leaves, which formed the wainscot. At one end of the dancing hall was a booth, whicn held the favors of the cotililon, which were poincetta blossoms, gilt mirrors, Japanese parasols and lanterns, min iature wrought pen-wipers, and cigar fans. The verandas were enclosed in can vas, and with the latticed walls of smilax, meshes of moss, and balus trade of palmetto leaves, formed a promenade for the dancers during the intermissions. Punch was served in one of the ad joining rooms, and Mr. and Mrs. Neely and Miss Neely, with the receiving party, stood in the east room, which was conevrted into a seritable floral kingdom with the tributes of the lov ing friends and admirers of "the fair est flower of all.” Receiving with Mr. and Mrs. Neely and Miss Neely were Mrs. W.
