THAT Jolly old seadog, everybody's
friend-Sir Thomas Lpton-I
am told, Will visit the United
states probably next month. And II
ne does so, he is almost certain to
come to Atlanta for visit with Col
Willis E. Raglan, our ever-gay and
debonair citizen. who Is his most in
innate friend in the South.
don't believe any expert mathe-
maucian could tell how many match
making mammas have tried to ensnare
Sir Thomas In their matrimonial nets,
for from every point Of view, Tam
mas" as he is called by his friends
IN London, is a very eligible person.
He has a great fortune He lives
like a sybarite. He has Astounding
health. He has unfailing good humor.
He is a good story teller, and as win
some as girl at her debut party.
He has several big houses in Great
Britain, where he entertains royalty
and that is the only word to use
royalty. He has a splendid steam
yacht, capable OF taking large parties
on long cruises, and no expense is
ever spared to make these parties
thoroughly enjoyable.
But Sir Thomas has never wan
dered anywhere near the matrimonial
net I don't believe he would know
how to give an opinion on the alb
sorbing question now in Atlanta
llissingl
Whether the match making NAM
mas in America will succeed better
than the mothers and eligible daugh-
ters in Great Britain Is hard to tell.
Personally. having known Sir Thomas
a good many years, I believe he is
a confirmed bachelor.
OF course, If he should win the
American Yacht Cup in a moment of
exuberancy, he might propose and
be accepted by some one Of our beau
4 tiful girls.
s II he comes to Atlanta. Colonel
& Ragan will give him the time OF his
life"
ANY residents OF Atlanta who
KN were here when the city was
young are deeply interested in
the marriage of Miss Pauline Peters,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph
Peters. of Garden City, L. L, to
George w. Pierpont, of New York.
Miss Peters is the granddaughter OF
Richard Peters, who was Atlanta's
richest pioneer citizen. She has many
kinspeople here among the members
Of the Peters family and has often
visited them.
NV friends who remember farther
pack than I do. tell me that Ralph
Peters. father Of the elect, was
the handsomest man in Atlanta and
the greatest beau of his time. He is
now a very successful railroad man
and a wealthy citizen Of New York
and of Garden City. where the fam
lily make their home.
This pretty daughter Of an old At
Isn+a family is a girl Of high ideals
and accomplishments, as well as so
cially very charming. For one thing,
she Is interested in lace-makng and
IN her trousseau will be beautiful
snecimens of her work. She has made
some exquisite fflet and thread lace,
and on a visit here. a few years ago,
while she was still schoolgirl Pau
line Peters lace work was the center
of attention.
I think several Atlanta girl friends
tried to make lace, but none Of them
persevered long enough to achieve the
skill of little Miss Peters. The young
man who is to claim this charming
girl as his bride is a wealthy bach

willie" Carter, Philadelphia's
most prominent young society
leader, has inaugurated the fad of
smoking toilets reminds me that sew
eral of the younger set are Joking"
one Of their number smart young
woman who is always up-to-date in
her ways-for introducing the ciga-
rette at the Driving Club. several
evenings since.
These girls and boys say the young
woman in question smoked a dainty,
gold tipped cigarette with grace and
ability-but understand that she
the accused-denies the whole thing.
As for myself, I see no reason why
the smoking Of cigarettes should pc
any more blameworthy than the
drinking Of cocktails, by women or
girls-not that especially advocate
either. But were have to have
choice, the cocktail would lose the de-
cision.
