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. E.
Jones of Waynesboro, Ga., Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. Neely, Mr. and Mrs. Scud
der, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Wilkins, Mrs.
F. W. Wilkins, Mrs. Kate Wilkins,

Concernina a Foolish Fashion.
Will every woman in this land
Hold up her soft and dainty hand
And swear as truthful as she can—
That is to say, as would a man—
That she has sweetest peace of mind
With gowns that button up behind?
Say, will she swear she does the work
With many a painful yank and Jerk
To get the golden hook-ups fast
Till in despair, and then at last
Must call on someone to assist
In putting on the proper twist?
And will she and her sisters swear
That it is anything like fair
To put their husbands on the rack
By asking them to go way back
nnd with their clumsy fingers make
A mess of-what they undertake?
Good husbands too; nice men whose lives
Would be devoted to their wives
If they were treated half-way right
And left outside this button fight
Say, women, women, do you think
It’s square to put them on the blink.
And do you wonder that they roam
Because they have no happy home?
Wow! ladies,
Shoot this fashion
And give your gowns a shunt
To bring the hooks or buttons
Around from back to front!

No Men’s Shoes, nothing but Women’s styles

Tjie unity of purpose, singleness of aim in force

The result is evident in the purely womanly

ticularly interested was the (lance given
lasi night by Mr. ami Mrs. Edward A.
Horne .for their daughter, Miss ISdna
Horne, at which they introduced her to
the social world of Macon.
The decorations were elaborate through,
out the rooms, and were appropriate to
the season. In all the windows hum?
wreaths tied with streamers of red rib
bons, and Southern smllax made an ef
fective tracery over the walls, framing
doors and Windows. Dotted here and there
amidst the airy curtain of green wo-o
great clusters of poincetta, their bril
liant color and bright contrast to the
foliage of the vines being made more
apparent by the many electric lights
which shone among their surroundings
like tiny stars.
The long ball room was exquisite in its
decorations of rose color. Overhead
a canopy formed of garlands of smilax,
ribbons of the pretty rose shade, and
ropes of electric lights, a beautiful effect
being had by the use of many baskets
filled with pink roses and trailing sprays
of asparagus ferns, which were tied
among the lights with large bows of rib
bon.
Mr. and Mrs. Borne and Miss Horne
received the guests, Mrs. Borne wearing
a white crepe marcheuso, hand embroid

Miss Borne wore a draped gown of

of the pink begonia, was a charming pic

At 11 o’clock a hot supper was served.

of Richmond roses and ferns, their beauty
being reflected in the mirror underneath,
which was wreathed in ferns, among
which nestled many of the red. rosebuds.
Red candles also added to the bright and

This occasion was a ellghtful success,
