the best bridge players in At
lanta, has about given up the
national indoor game in favor of golf.
While the other young matrons, of her
set are worrying over no trumps" and
growing somewhat Stocky on tea and
sandwiches, Katherine is taking regu-
lar instruction In swinging the bras
sic from "Scotty" Mckenzie, the big
professional at Brookhaven. Further
more, Katherine Is the best dressed
woman L have ever seen on the golf
| course. When she began her lessons
| 'Scotty' was positive she couldn't pick
up the game in so many fine clothes,
! but nothing has interfered with her
| progress.
WENT to the Ansleys' the other
afternoon to pay my party call
There We're a dozen or so others
calling and / never in my life heard so
much conversation about two topics:
! The Ansley bride and the Billy Halls
new house. which is on the road to the
/ AnSieyS. of course, everybody agreed
| that Laura was a beautiful bride. but
never was known such disagreement
as the Hall house caused. The house
| is white and square with green shut
| tiers and Is fashioned after an old
! Long Island mansion. One wife said
it looked like the Ansley Park post
| office; another said she thought It was
| the new Christian Science Church; a
| third declared she was sure it was a
schoolhouse and intended to send her
children there. Several of US took up
| the cudgels for it. We said we thought
| It the "classiest" house of it's size in
| Atlanta and it is. | would like to
see a lot more like 1t instead Of so
many gingerbread and sugar-loaf eff
/ fects that architects insist on building
| for you these days.
Speaking of the Ansleys, all Of
| the mothers of two or more
daughters are thinking of Mrs. Ans
\ ley as the luckiest woman in town.
/ Think of being able to give q weddins
and a debut ball with just one big
/ trouble. And such beautiful we'd
ding and ball as they We're!
I OTIS of us Who are close friends
II of Fannie May Williams We're
disappointed to hear from her
| handsome husband. Jim, that she in
! tended to prolong her stay in New
| York for another week Jim was a
very lonesome and .disconsoate man
until the other day when she came
home and brought the good news
! about what had been keeping
her. The truth is that Fannie May
| decided while she was in the East
/ that she would take a course in tango
1 She kept the lessons all to herself
and is staying an extra week to finish
| the course. And right here | want
to say that if Fannie May ever dances
as well as she looks, she will eclipse
| everybody in this town. She is just
about my ideal of a sweet and pretty
woman.
IND you ever consider what an in
teresting study the Psychology
of Debutantes would be? I
! have, often. There is nowhere a more
! enjoyable, interesting, ingenious, low
able sort Of human being than the
debutante, particularly the kind We
! have in Atlanta.
| Yes, Polly Peachtree always has
! time to think and wonder about the
| lovely creatures. l wonder all sorts
| of things. For instance, | am Won
| dering now whether Dorothy Hartman
! has begun to turkey trot. The little
| lady considered the matter with su-
! preme unconcern when | saw her and
| talked to her at dancing functions
! last summer. Mrs Hartman told me
| Dorothy had not learned the trot
then, and whether she would learn or
not depended altogether on her own
within.
Not that she is a whimsical girl!
! oh, dear, no. Dorothy l consider one
! Of the loveliest and most natural girls
/ in her set.
Another one with a, mind of her
own is Jeanette Lowndes. She is
| simply not going too attend dances,
| she tells me. She is a very unusual
| young woman, l thought, to have a
| determination like this, when all the
world is tangoing, hesitating Ca littie)
and trotting Ga lot. But, then, she
has serious purpose concerning her
| singing gift. Her exquisite voice n
| being trained by Barilli, and maybe
she Is more interested in its devei-
| opment than in the less serious mat
ter of dancing.
! Emily Lowndes. her sister, is IL
| finished musician, too. She and jean
nette and Louise Riley and Katherine
Wylie, the dearest chums in the
world, are all girls to impress you
as independent of outside influence
| & OMEBODY told-and I cant
| think who it was-that she
heard Mrs. William Huntley re-
mark that never did an Eastern host
ess serve such elaborate menus as
! those to which the Southern people
adhere.
I knew it before, so her remark
