The tennis tourney for the State
championship, which is on at the
Driving Club this week will attract
large crowds to witness the games,
and, of course, the inevitable dancing
viii follow. The popular club will be
the scene of much informal enter
tanning during the week.
Nat Thornton, Of Atlanta, has won
the championship twice, and defends
it in the present tournament. E. V.
Carter, Jr, and E. s. Mansfield hold
the championship in doubles. A num-
Der of expert women players are to
take part in the mixed doubles.
The Sunday assemblage at the
Capital City Country Club was a
large and representative one. Swim
ming was a favorite mode of recrea-
ton for the men, although only few
women braved the waters, for some
reason or other. An informal air
hovers over the charming Country
Club, which will be fostered.
The large attendance at the week
end dinner dance of the Driving Club
and the informal dance at East Lake
shows that the summer exodus for
Atlanta society has hardly begun.
