LELL, the season has started off

WELL, the season has started of
NJ with a rush, hasn't it? 1 pre-
dict that this day many peopll
will observe the day of rest" with
more than the usual appreciation, be-
cause of last weeks excessive gayety
wonder how much the pedometer-
is that the right name?-would rec
ord if some of the girls who danced
at the Old Guards ball had worn the
little measuring instrument.
The dazzle of color and brilliancy
the hundreds of people present and
the untiring way in which the fun was
kept up made the Old Guards ball a
record breaker. l grew dizzy just
watching all the fun, very quietly and
unobtrusively. and can't imagine
how some of the guests kept up the
pace. l never saw an affair for which
the oft-used expression, brilliant &C.
casion," was more appropriate than
at this one.
The Old Guards were resplendent
in gold braid and glittering uniforms
the officers from the post and the
Department of the Gulf also wearing
their full dress uniforms. not so gilt
tering but just as effective. OF course
all the women wore their most be-
coming new gowns, and everything
was Just too lovely"
After watching the gay scene at the
Capital City Club a while, l motored
out to see how things were going AT
the grand opening ball of the Pied
mont Driving Club, and there l saw
the same scene of gayety. Later in
the evening l noted many of the
Young folks who hal been dancing at
the Old Guards ball out at the Driv-
ing Club, a large number of the guests
attending bott affairs. The debutanteS
were out in full force, too.
Last year the little club overlook
ing Piedmont Park was the scene %
many happy parties, and the affair Of
Friday night certainly served to open
the present season auspiciously.
In addition to the two big balls Of
the week, there were the Gordon
Jones wedding and its incident social
pleasures, the usual affairs at East
Lake, and goodness knows how many
Informal parties" to contribute their
quota of pleasure and fatigue.
Yes, l think the season may be said
to be opening up. despite the fact that
summer keeps lingering. We can't
wait for the chill of the approaching
winter with so many ''maidens with
reluctant feet" waiting to plunge into
the ocean of social pleasure, and with
the several extremely important fall
weddings to hand.
GRACE BOYKIN, an Augusta
bride be, holds the palm in
that city for beauty and for
graceful dancing. They tell me that
she is the prettiest girl in the city,
and certainly the most graceful dancer
of any of the girls who frequent the
Country Club.
She is a brunette with exquisite
coloring and a vivacious manner, and
has been a great belle over the South
since her debut. Added to these
charms is a clever musical talent, all
of which stamps Miss Boykin as an
exceptional young woman.
Her fiance, Fred Eve, is one of the
popular young men of Augusta. He
is son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Frederick Eve, and a grandson of the
late General Clement A. Evans, of At
lanta. / suppose that Sarah Lee
Evans, his charming Atlanta aunt-a
very young aunt, several years young
er than any of her nephews-will be
one of the bridesmaids at the we'd
ding, which is to take place early in
November, believe.
81 HEARD that President Wilson
was advertising for the ad-
dresses of his kinspeople in
order to invite them to the
Wedding" said a friend of mine
to me. l do not really think
them to the wedding" said a friend
of mine to me. l do not really think
1t is as bad as that but certain II
Is the Wilson's are going to have a
gathering of the clans when Jessie is
married to Francis Sayre.
All the relatives are to be invited
that is, all the near relatives as far
off as third cousins, anyway, l gather
from Washington gossip. There are
lots of kinspeople in Georgia, a num-
Der here in Atlanta and others in
Savannah and Rome. OF course,
pretty Marjorie Brown, who has al
ready been entertained as a White
House guest, will be present and pos
siblv her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward T. Brown, though the illness of
Mrs. Brown may prevent her accept
Ing the invitation.
Mrs. Brown and Marjorie are in
New York for the winter and there
fore are convenient to the home of
their kinspeople in the White House.

relatives of Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. HOyt
being a sister of Mrs. Wilson's mother.
Then the young assistant pastor OF
the Second Baptist Church, Rev. Mr..
Arson, and his sisters, Misses Carrie
and Alethea Arson, are kinspeople OF
The Presidents wife.
There are four or five gtrlhood
friends of Mrs. Wilson in Atlanta who
will probably receive invitations TO
the White House wedding. Mrs. Harry
Schlesinger highly prizes a water
color sketch which Mrs. Wilson when
a classmate of hers painted and pre-
sented to her friend. Miss Mary
Nagle has often visited the Prince
ION home of Mrs. Wilson, who was
her "chum" in schoolgirl days. The
details of the White House wedding
have been kept close to date. Even
Miss Hagner says she knows none of
them as yet, except the date.
| REALLY must tell you of new
amusement Atlanta girls have
found, which is as old as the world,
but is always new. This is the fas-
chatting, thrilling, intensely interest
ing experience of having ones fortune
told. The popular seeress of the mo-
