SOCIAL GOSSIP.


The most distinguished visitor of the
week is Mrs. Virginia Clay clopton Of
huntsville who is the guest Of Mrs.
Robert Jemlson at her home in Glen Iris
park Mrs. clay-Clopton is one Of the
most striking figures in the social life
OF today. by reason that she is so repre-
sentative Of the brilliant past and retains
all the charm of manner and delightful
conversational powers that made her a
central figure in the old south. It was
announced about a year ago that she
was writing her memoirs and 1t Is un-
| derstood that she has completed them
and that they will soon be published
Unusual interest will center in their pub
LEGATION. for they are written in bril-
liant style and cover a period of southern
history that must appeal forever to those
appreeiative of the life before the war.
In her memoirs it Is said that Mrs. Clop-
ton writes with clearness of certain
phases and incidents with which she was
so intimately acquainted as to make her
memoirs more valuable than anything
that has yet been written of the war pc
riod.
