Black for pebutantes.
From the New York Press

From the New York Press.
One of the most CONSPICUOUS features; Of
the horse show week has been the. choice
of more sober colors and tints for the
d%cbutantes. Though the coming season
promises to be fully as brilliant as any
that rave preceded 1t, and though few of
the prominent families are in mourning,
the word has gone forth mysteriously that
black or some combination with black is
the most s.evesely correct moue for the
girls who are just making their bows to
society, and the result is likely to be seen
In the most striking procession of Puritan
maids that a New York reason has seen In
many years.

a Petite Southern Beauty.

A-'' - Ns-'
When President Roosevelt was in Al
lanta on his recent southern tour he shat
tered the traditional standard upon which
the most beautiful women of the south
have bene gagged. The tall, slender viva
cious, pink rose girl with big hazel eyes
and an undisputed queen. has been de-
throned. Tho petite blonde of the lily-of-
the-valley typ with yes of finest blue and
a crown of buff gold hair has taken her
place.
AT the reception given to MIR. Roosevelt
in Atlanta, Miss Selma Adelaide Allen was
one of the hundreds of lady guests who in
line waited their opportunity to be pre-
scented to the president. After shaking
hands with a large number he was inter-
rupted by Secretary Loeb, who told him
he was exceeding his time limit.
"Oh, very WE'LL" said the president, but
| can't &c until L have been presented to
that young lady over there pointing to
the graceful, shrinking figure of Miss
Allen. She was told of the presidents
wish and was led blushing and smiling to
where he stood and was presented to him.
II am honored," said Mr.. Roosevelt,
while holding her hand, as is his custom
with those who particularly attract him,
ito meet the most beautiful woman j have
seen in the SOUTH"
1t was a moment of supreme happiness,
as we'll as embarrassment. to the young
lady. who managed to say. quite modestly:
On, thank you, Mr.. President; but I'm
afraid our southern hospitality has blinded
you somewhat to our defects" Then the
band struck up, The Prettiest Girl in
Georgia" Men and women gathered con-
graduating the recipient of the presidents
favor, and quicker than it can be told a
new standar had been set for the most
beautiful southern woman.
Miss Allen is a remarkably lovely young
woman, one of the fairest flowers in At

blended rose and garoenia, we'll poised

But one morning, at the end of Feb

My heart was beating so fast that I
could not speak. She picked up a pen
and wrote a name upon the sheet of

up at me with a bright face.

An hour later I looked at the paper.
To my utter amazement it bore MOTH

and the date, February %. 1t flashed

unnerved me that the year was leap
