ceremonies, with the exception Of the

are group of notably charming

plans of the Owens Hall wedding
which were caused by slight indis-

the bridal bouquet, to the rare pearls

ANllNN II Atl'Ns
n Y the way. 1 hear that the Play
Is ers' Club are contemplating the
presentation of a musical com
edy or a comic opera next season. /
suggested something of this kind. you
remember, seevral weeks ago. | am
glad to know that the innovation is
to be attempted-no that the present
mode Of entertainment which the club
gives is not interesting, but there is
certain talent in the club which could
find a better outlet through a must
cal show than through a drama. And
/ think 1t is worth while to give this
talent a chance, and at the same time
to provide a novelty for the public.
In a comic opera performance l can
think. of several members who would
be tip-tOp stars"
Mrs. Ransome Wright. with her eX-
quisite voice and her exceptional tall
ent for acting would be a splendid
prima donna. Mrs. Jarnigans swee-
voice and winSOme personality would
make a charming opera singer. And
for musical comedy, there is Mrs.
Robert L. CoOGey, with her stunning
gowns. effective dancing and nice lit
tie singing voice She has a way
with her" too. that all musical com
edy stars should possess. Dyou re-
member her performance in the Kir-
mess, a year or so ago.
Vaudeville might be attempted with
flaJtering results. too. by the Play
ers' Club. / believe Marsh Adair
would make a bigger" hit with a rag
time specially than with his English
accent, And there are many beautiful
dancers among the younger women
Of the company, who have no oppor-
tunities in a drama except in ingenue
roles. My, what a stunning chorus
might be evolved from this contin-
gent. And what about character
sketches by Mrs. Fielder. the president
Of the club? ! recall a certain little
Dutch girl l once saw. which was
originated by Mrs Fielder. in some
private theatrical affair few years
ago. There are endless possibilities
in the Players Club. Here's hoping
that we shall all have the pleasure
and privilege of seeing some Of these
possibilities exploited next year!

N MOTH Err out-of-the- ordinary
~ affair Of the past week was the
swimming party at the beauti-
full inland lake on the estate of Mr..
and Mrs. Forrest Adair in Druid
Hills. / never saw more charming
place than this cool, placid pool Of
water. bordered with growing palms
and flowers. and encircied with a
pergola and pavilion which is trellis-
ed in white and has tiled floors like
Roman bath. On one side are the
dressing rooms, in a quaint little
building with a red roof. Parts Of
the pergola are inClosed in white
columns and topped with the same
red roof. The large party of the
week given there was a special COM
pliment to two of the city's pretty
girls who have joined the throngs on
outgoing trains in the last few days.
Misses Marion Goldsmith and Ruth
Stalings. Mr.. and Mrs. AdaiT and
Mrs Lewis Gregg acted as hosts Of
the occasion. There was swimming
and splashing in the lake to hearts
content. and then a delicious buffet
supper in the dining room. With the
largesse of hospitality which IS
theirs. the owners Of this beautiful
pool have given their friends a
standing invitation to come out and
take a dip any afternoon, unless a
special party is on.
These private pools and lakes are
becoming a feature of summer social
life, Several of the handsome coun-
try homes include a lake on the
grounds and swimming parties are
frequent and happy occasions.

I NOTICED many pretty summer
costumes at the club. on that
afternoon. Mrs Thornton wore
the smartest of summer coats, made
Of blue brocade charmeuse, and worn
with a draped skirt, bronze slippers
and a chic little hat of blue, banded
in cerise. with a cluster of short
black plumes in the back. The coat
effect is all the rage now, and an
other charmingly gOwned woman at
the club, Mrs. Frank Galloway, wore
a rose colored silk ratine coat with
a skirt of the same, the costume
smartened with Oriental embroidery,
and a sash of black satin. Her small
black hat was trimmed in tiny roses
and an egret.
Mrs. Don Pardee was mingling with
her many friends. and looked well
in white embroidered marquisette,
with a sash of pale blue and white
nat trimmed in blue. One of the
few women who seemed to be more
interested in the tennis tournament
than in the turkey trotting was Mrs.
Winship Nunnally, who is one of the
best tennis players among the young
women of the city. Mrs. Nunnally
was very chic in white ratlne, with

last week. She is an exceptionally
graceful dancer, and although men
were scarce, she never lacked a part
ner. Mr. Nunnally, the president Of
the club. is out for the turkey-trot-
ting hour. every afternoon, I've been
told. He was dancing with young
Mrs. Thornton, part of the time, on
the afternoon of my visit, and I no
ticed that he has evolved a dance
which seems to be all his own
something that includes both the
waltz and the one-step. Mrs. Thorn
ton evidently knew it, too, and their
dancing was very effective. The club
president, seemingly realizing the re-
sonsibility of his position, divided
his dances with all the fair ladies'
present. and I hereby state that no
one dances better or with more en-
thusiasm than Mr.. Nunnally.

IIOSTESSES of summer parties
are succeeding in giving IN
usual and appropriate touches
TO the affairs of the season. Notable
in last weeks series was the ami
versary dinner of Mr. and Mrs John
d. Little, which took the form of an
al fresCo dinner party. Mrs, Little
is one of the most artistic hOstesses
in Atlanta, and she has a penchant
for eXquisitely appointed dinners. Her
wedding anniversary coming in the
hot days, when formal dinner giving
is tabu. this clever hostess conceived
the idea of a garden party dinner.
The circular table was set in the
cool garden in the rear Of the house,
a place which is very much belov-
ed by its owner. Gardenias and lilies,
culled from the flower beds which
perfumed the evening air, decorated
the table. which bore witness in
many details to the taste of Mrs.
Little.

TT YOUNG woman friend of mine
IA who is now travelling in Eu-

great mar TO the happiness of her
party is in the terribles times they
have in knowing when to tip, ana
how much to give.
Her account of their embarrass-
ment on this score is interesting. She
writes that the extortion that Amer
lean visitors meet on the continent,
especially in Paris. is worse than
ever before Walters. Chauffeurs,
boot blacks. theater attendants, and
the rest Of the great army who live
by pour boires" now have become
so exacting that many Americans
complain that gratuities total % or
30 per cent of their whole eXpendi-
lures.

customed to tipping generously. know
that even the girl ushers at the the
aters expect a reward for showing
the patron to his or her seat. And
she is so Independent, that she would
