the Harvest Ball, their duty to second
such undertakings by doing their

her two daughters, Mrs. William Tilt

were adorable. If every one were as
untiring as Mrs. Peel in responding to
the demands of society, 'noblesse

should see much more activity among
Atlanta women than we do. AT Mar

terhy when Adgate Ellis made
her formal bow to society last week
Now Adgate has been a gay little

appropriate to a schoolgirl chrysalis
although she recognized that even
schoolgirls have social needs of a

her girlish poise at this wonderful
