THAT jolly old seadog. everybody's
friend-Sir Thomas Lipton-I
am told. will visit the United
states probably next month. And if
he does so, he is almost certain to
come to Atlanta for a visit with Col
Willis F. Raglan, our ever-gay and
debonair citizen, who is his most in
innate friend in the South.
don't believe any expert mathe-
matcian could tell how many match
making mammas have tried to ensnare
Sir Thomas in their matrimonial nets,
for from every point Of view, Tam
mas" as he is called by his friends
in London, is very eligible person
He has a great fortune. He lives
like a sybarite. He has Astounding
health. He has unfailing good humor
He is a good story-teller, and as win
some as a girl at her debut party.
He has several big houses in Great
Britain. where he entertains royalty
and that is the only word to use
royalty. He has a splendid steam
yacht, capable Of taking large parties
on long cruises and no expense is
ever spared to make these parties
thoroughly enjoyable.
But Sir Thomas has never wan
dered anywhere near the matrimonial
net. l don't believe he would know
how to give an opinion on the alb
sorbing question now in Atlanta
kissing!
Whether the match making NAM
mas in America will succeed better
than the mothers and eligible daugh-
tiers in Great Britain IL hard TO tell
Personally. having known Sir Thomas
a good many years, l believe he is
a confirmed bachelor.
OF course, if he should win the
American Yacht Cup, In a moment Of
exuberancy, he might propose and
be accepted by some one Of our beau
tiful girls.
If he comes to Atlanta. Colonel
Raglan will give him the time Of his
life"
MANY residents OF Atlanta who
were here when the city was
young are deeply interested in
the marriage Of Miss Pauline Peters
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Peters of Garden city, L. l., to
George w. Pierpont, of New York
Miss Peters is the granddaughter of
Richard Peters who was Atlanta's
richest pioneer citizen. She has many
kinspeople here among the members
of the Peters family and has often
visited them.
NV friends who remember farther
back than I do, tell me that Ralph
Peters. father Of the bride elect, was
the handsomest man in Atlanta and
the greatest beau Of his time. He is
now a very successful railroad man
and a wealthy citizen of New York
and of Garden City, where the fam
ily make their nome.
This pretty daughter of an old At
fanta family is a girl of high ideals
and accomplishments as well as So
cIaIlv very charming. For one thing,
she is interested in lace-making, and
in her trousseau will be beautiful
specfmens Of her work. She has made
some exquisite filet and thread lace,
and on a visit here. a few years ago.
while she was still a schoolgirl, Pau
Nne Peters lace work was the center
Of attention.
think several Atlanta girl friends
tried to make lace but none Of them
persevered long enough TO achieve the
skill Of little Miss Peters. The young
man who Is to claim this charming
girl as his bride IS a wealthy bach
elor of the Metropolis.

the Younger set are Joking" one of
their number smart young woman
who is always up-to date in her ways
for introducing the cigarette at the
Driving Club, several evenings since.
These girls and boys say the young
woman in question smoked a dainty,
gold tipped cigarette with grace and
ability-but I understand that She
the accused-denies the whole thing.
AS for myself, I see no reason why
the smoking Of cigarettes should ne
any more blameworthy than the
drinking of cocktails, by women or
girls-not that especially advocate
either. But were I have to have a
choice, the cocktail would lose the de-
Cision.
