wv ITH the disbandlng Of the Full
w ton Blues, which is announced
for December, l believe, we
will not be treated to any more Of the
amusing sights Of a member being
carried off forcibly from the play
house to drill practice" leaving the
young woman lie escorted to the thea
ter to find her way home the best
she can alone
Numbers of contretemps like this
have occurred IN the last two years
since the organization of the Blues
and at last the majority OF the mem
bers having suffered this experience
often enough, have decided that they
prefer to go to the show with the girl
OF their choice, rather than attend
drill, for the company goes on record
as preferring their social duties to
soldering"
Despite the fact that the Fulton
Blues go in strong for society, they
have been really a crack" company,
and lots OF the girls will be sorry to
know that they are to disband even
though they did risk being left alone
at the theater when they accepted the
escort of one of the gallant soldier
boys Op Monday nights. The captain
OF the company. Harrison Jones. is To
he married this autumn, and that may
have something 10 do with the whole

Miss Brown will go to Washington
when he family returns to Atlanta.
IOU who know Eunice Jackson, OF
Y Nashville. will be interested In
the announcement Of her debut
this season. Miss Jackson often visits
her aunt. Mrs. Robert Maddox, at
"Woodhaven." and she will be sure
to come here for a part OF her debu-
tante season.
Her debut will be celebrated with
a series of brilliant affairs. This
pretty bud" comes Of distinguished
Southern ancestry. She is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert F. Jack
son and niece of the late General
w. II. Jackson, Of Belle Meade. and
granddaughter Of Justice Howell E.
Jackson. Of the United States Su-

BY the way, several OF my Macon
friends have bemoaned the fact that
there are no debutantes there this
season. This is really extraordinary,
for Macon usually has a charming
bouquet of buds for the winter 5

prominent brides-tO-be for the fall,

NYACATIONS are not always a
v thing Of JOY, according to the
story OF one who is wearing a
long face these days. Don't ask him
why.
He was going for a rest, he said
and so selected little town up in the
mountains, one that doesn't even brag
on its summer population
The old landlord was very kind,
and, taking the young man aside. told
him he would do all in his power to
make his stay pleasant. Il know
everyone up in these regions" he said
"and If there's any particularly pretty
girl you want to meet I'll do my best
to arrange for an introduction"
There was one particularly pretty
girl he did want to meet, and so he
forthwith described her to the land
lord. The old landlord made his own
deductions, and introduced him to the
girl he thought the description fitted.
But that wasn't the one meant, "
said our martyr. It's that little girl
over there playing tennis and there
on proceeded with eXtravagant praise.
When at last the landlord could
check the outburst Of oratory, it was
with the cruel words: That's my
wife"

but I heard Of no untoward results
for the one time.
I HAVE sometimes thought that half
of the people who compose At
lanta's society set came from
Washington, Ga. That very aristo-
cratic little town has, in fact. given
to Atlanta some of her most de-
lightful people. And I am sure that
much general interest will be felt in
the news that Washington is going
to have social club Of its own.
The Washington Country Club, it is
to be called, and its formal opening
is not far off. The building, already
nearing completion, is of the bunga-
low type, have heard, and is placed
in the center of tract Of land Gov
ering ten acres. There will be golf
links, tennis courts and beautiful
swimming pool A landscape gar
dener is to look after the clearing Of
the woods for the lake, and the other
features of the grounds, which are
to be charming when finished.
Atlanta will, Of course, send a dele
cation to the formal opening Of the
club, and I suspect that many of the
sons and daughters of Washington
will be there from far and near. Mrs.
J. K. OIL. Mrs. Edward B. Alsop, Mrs.
Edward Fortson, Mrs. Blanton Fort
son, Mrs Harvey Phillips are some
of the women who have become noted
society hostesses in the East and
South and VINO claim Washington
as the home of their girlhood.
T HE latest thing IN the flower line
in Washington is the Mrs,
Wilson" chrysanthemum. This
is a beautiful new bloom which has
been grown by the experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture for the an
nual flower show. Named in honor of
the wife Of the President. the new
bloom is said to be a magnificent
specimen.
Other striking blooms have been
named Margaret" Jessie" an1
Eleanor after the three daughters
of the President and Mrs. Wilson.
The President and every member OF
the family are great lovers OF flowers
The new varieties Of chrysanthe-
mum promise to attain an eXtraordi-
nary popularity in the conservatories
and on the tables of Washington So
ciety. Already many inquiries have
been made of Capitol florists as to
when they can begin to supply the
new species in large quantities.
