The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-30

The Thanksgiving dance of the High land Clan occurred last night at the Country club and was attended by Q number of young people. It was distinc- tive for the type of costume chosen by the coterie of girls who appeared in the role of hostess. No one but young and pret- ty girl is capable of looking pretty in a Quaker costume; in no other costume, perhaps is a young and pretty girl as pretty. The simplicity and the plainness of Puritan attire is peculiarly fitted to fresh young charms and never were the Highland Clan girls so adorable as last night in their sober gray silks and their filpy lace aprons, sedate fichus folded Tn V shaped fashion across the whitest of necks. The odd little white Quaker bon net worn to complete the costume had even the grace of being modish, so much is 1t like the boudoir and theatre cap of today.
