understand that some wonderful
clothes are in process of manufacture
for some of the brides and buds, who
will figure in the winter gayeties..
The present time is what was used
to be called the between season"
period, but from the parties and we'd
dings which are being scheduled
right along, I think the oldtime APP
pellation is a misnomer The out
door recreations of society account
for some of the social gayety which
bridge over the summer and the sea-
son. And the regular dances at the
clubs have spanned the entire period
of former social inactivity.
I was really surprised to see so
many people out at the Capital City
Country Club yesterday afternoon, to
watch the fox hunters" The ag-
gregation of riders was stunning"
and the entire affair was quite out
of the ordinary and most exciting.
both to participants and onlookers.
hope the out door sports and
recreations will grow in favor with
Atlantans, who hitherto have been
behind other cities in their love of
sports which call for strenuousity in
| the fall and winter season.
In HAVE the pleasure to announce
to the many young people who
attend the dances at Segadlo's
given every year by Miss Lillian Viola
| Moseley, that the series will be re-
| sumed in October. Miss Moseley,
who has been in New York all sum
mer studying the new dances and
| getting up new music for the win
| ter's parties, will remain there till
the last possible moment. so she has
| written to several of her friends, ask
! ing them to say to all concerned
that the usual autumn announcement
cards will not be sent out before the
first dance this year. and all those who
attended regularly last season are ex-
pected to come to the first dances.
The Tuesday evening dances which
are attended by a company of the
most popular young women and men
Of the city, members of the Capital
City and Driving Clubs and their
! friends. will begin on Tuesday even
| ing. October IA, when Miss Moseley
will compliment them with a delight
! full affair. On Saturday, October II,
| from to T. a plimentary dance
to the younger crowd-who received
cards in the early summer-will be
given at Segadlo's.
The regular classes for the little
folks begin on Thursday. october 9,
at $3.50, and for the grown-ups at
| $3.50 on the same date l remember
that the first turkey trotting'' 1 ever
saw was done at Segadlo's, Lucy
| Hoke Smith and a young man whom
I have forgotten introducing the fad
! which has since spread to such pro-
| portions that even the most conserva-
tive people have adopted it.
| I also recall that Miss Moseley ad-
vocated the One-step in the face of
general disapproval from other in
structors in dancing: and that, in OPP
position to some of the prominent
women whose children were her pu-
pills, she introduced the one-step and
| the tango in her exhibitions of dane
| ing Now" Miss Moseley writes,
| "all the so-called fad dances are ac-
cepted and taught in the very highest
! class normal schools of dancing in
New York. The prejudices expressed
/ last year by some of the conservative
teachers seems to have been relegated
to the realm of the forgotten, and
those same teachers are excessive in
their praise of the new dances"
and really" she adds. "the new
tangoes and the hesitation waltzes
are beautiful There is a subtle
fnesse in some of the movements that
is charming beyond expression. Then
| the one-step, with its varied new
movements, is full of brilliancy and
adroitness and extremely fascinating
even to the most Indifferent dancer.
Il believe firmly that the wide
spread prejudice in the past against
these dances arose largely from the
grotesque names given to a large
| number of the steps. which were none
the less artistic and graceful when
danced as they should be. even though
they were called by such names as
the bunny hug, the fish walk and the
turkey trot.
