Distinctive Social
Season on for
Hot Months

THAT Atlanta has all the
Il charms Of a resort and
more accounts for the fact
that hundreds of the most
prominent people of the city
spend the greater part of the

and stays of a week or a
month at various resorts,
break the monotony Of the
season with some people, while
many others elect to remain at
home until the fall, when trips
to New York and abroad are
favored.
