Chapter, composed of prominent so.
ciety women, has contributed severa
original and beautiful affairs to tht
social calendar this season. Muct
of the credit of these brilliant affairs
are due to the honorary regent. Mrs
William Lawson Peel, one of the most
enthusiastic and able women in At
lanta, and one who is never satisfied
without achieving a great success OF
anything which she undertakes. The
Habersham ladies are working for a
chapter house, which they are to
build on Peachtree Road.
& ONE men are naturally modest,
while others wear pink shirts.
In my daily work of taking notes
on women's clothes, 1 have incidental
ly seen some few queer freaks in
mems garb-especially in the summer
when more liberties are taken in the
name of comfort than at other sea-
sons. However, l must confess that
men, as rule, dress with much more
taste and discretion than do women.
OF course, the women who dress
well are artists in their line. and ex-
Gel any Beau Drummer that ever
was. But this is because they have
wider scope for their artistic tastes
and, at the same time, this fact is
what saves the men of lesser ability
in h. Z II
freaks of themselves.
1t does seem to me. though that
conservatism in mems clothes may
be carried too far. l never saw any
valid reason why the shirtwaist man
OF a few summers ago should have
been hOoted and jeered off the face of
the earth as he was. Why it is con-
sidered a deadly crime for man 10
be seen in his shirt sleeves is beyond
my comprehension. The new styles
in soft silk shirts which / see many
of the WELT dressed men wear are
surely a step in the right direction
for comfort and for good looks as
well. | hope it will be carried to its
logical conclusion.
N the many charming new homes
of Atlantas young married coI-
pies there are of necessity some
new servants The servant problem,
believe me, is no joke, and I wonder,
sometimes, how all these brides and
bridegrooms manage not to get dis
couraged from the experiments of
friends in these troubles of the home.
But they don't. The boarding house
and hotel apartment are not for the
Atlanta bridal couples
They all have homes awaiting their
return from the honeymoon express,
and they start right off in the good
old fashioned way. And the young
mistresses of these attractive homes
soon learn to manage their servants.
A nice young couple of my acquaint-
ance who were recently married and
came home to coy little apartment
had only one servant-a young girl
whose mother used to do the washing
for her folks" and who, therefore,
knowing her young mistress well,
came cheap and willing.
Economy, you know, is the long suit
of the young married couples. Later
on in life, comfort ranks ahead of
economy in the judgment Of the
housewife, but not at flrst-not at
first. Well, one day l went to call on
my young friends who had achieved
a home and a maid to open the door
for guests. The little maid had known
me in the days gone by, when I had
often visited her mistress. So she
met me, smilingly. Are Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown at home?" l asked. Yes, Miss
Polly" she replied, with broad grin.
Are they engaged at present." why
Miss Polly" said the maid, with eyes
of establishment and horror they're
FRIENDSHIPS fostered by the
Players Club are as intimate
and warm as those formed on
an ocean trip, and everyone knows
that when folks cross the ocean to-
gether they are either warm friends
or bitter enemies by the time the trip
is over. This warm spirit of friend
ship between the members of the club
the last performance
given by the organization prompted
the delightful dinner party which
was one of the past weeks chief so
cial events.
The lovely new president of the
club, Mrs. 7. B. Fielder, who entered
heart and soul' into the presentation
of the first play under her regime,
was the special guest of the dinner
party on Monday evening at the Driv
ing Club, and she was as radiant with
pleasure as on the evening of the
show when she saw the success of
the delightful comedy presented.
Clever is the word which describes
the satirical farce which members of
the club had gotten up for the even
ing. There were a dozen or so in the
case. each a character study of So
ciety, and the ensemble reminded one
of a series of Gibson drawings. There
was the charming lady whose mag
mary ailments furnished the motif for
the action of the piece; the pretty
nurse, the fetching French maid, the
English duke, the bridge fiend, and
other types, all very cleverly charac-
terized.
/ am one of many who think Mrs.
w. c. Jarnigan is one of the sweet
est, prettiest and cleverest women Of
Atlanta, and certainly she was at her
most fascinating best In the role Of
leading lady that night. She danced
the one step with grace, sang a frivo-
lous little French song beautifully
and was altogether adorable in her
part Mrs. Jarnigan has appeared i'm
several performances Of the Players
Club and has achieved an artistic sue
cess with each of her creations.
