n ESPITE the joke about the sum-
mer fiirtation-as numerous and
as innocuous as that about our
mother-in-law-the fact remains that
many June weddings have their be-
ginnings in July and August jaunts-
of the year before. The summer girl,
heart whole and fancy free, leaving
for mountain, seashore or spring
comes back with young mans heart
in tow, and a brand-new diamond
ring. OF course, there are many
summer widows" at these resorts
and girls have to work hard for what
they get-but most girls can do that
all right Anyway, those who wish
to be June brides, have to hustle"
nowadays. If you don't believe it,
ask George Bernard Shaw.
l have been given details of many

maids and matrons. As usua.
Wrightsville Beach will claim good
ly portion of these, for the months
of July and August, while all over
the mountains of North Carolina,
summer wanderers will be scattered.
The Greenbriar White, Narragansett,
and Canada will claim some of the
tourists. An Atlanta colony of sum-
mer cottages has been established at
ToXaway this year. among the build
ers being Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Rich
ardson, Mr.. and Mrs C. A. Wood, and
Mr.. and Mrs. James H. Nunnally.
Mrs. w. d. Ellis, Jr., will probably
spend a part of the summer at Tai
lulah, where she has a cottage.
suppose Miss Ellis, who is to be
debutante next year, will have some
house parties during the summer.
Mrs. Tom Paine will go to the Green
briar White, as usual. And by the
way, hear of many interesting Geor-
gia beauties who are going to spend
the summer at the historic old Vir-
ginia resort. Mrs. Billups Phinizy
and her charming daughters, of Attn
ems, and Mrs. Florence Wadley Cole
man, of Macon, are among these.
Mrs. Marshall Johnston, is to spend
the summer at South Hampton, Long
Island, with her daughter Mrs. De-
Lancey Kountze, of New York. Mrs.
Minter Wimberly, of Macon, plans to
make a summer visit to her niece,
Mrs. Edward A. Alsop, at Beverly
Farms" the country estate of the
Alsops, near Boston. Mrs. Frank Ell
lis and Miss Katherine Ellis will be
at Narragansett for one month
probably, July, and Miss Ellis then
goes to the Greenbriar White, for Au-

read, is the dog stick. 1t is ear
ried as a walking stick by So
ciety women, and the slender cane is
topped by the replica of a favorite
dog or horse, done in ivory or silver.
Perhaps some of the more eXtrava-
CANT use golden images of their pets.
l noticed a smartly gowned young
woman going down West Peachtree,
the other day, carrying a slender cane.
1 didn't see If the head was made
in the image of a dog or a horse, but
would not be surprised If It were,
as Atlanta girls are about as quick
as others, to catch on" to a popular
fancy.
The live lizards or chameleons
which were hawked about the streets
some time ago, signally failed to i'm

of a mouse-that most abhorrent of
all living things--as to allow a wrig

white blouse. And other girls here
were of the same opinion, ! suppose,
for the lizard fad did not flourish so
far as / saw.
The dogstick is rather cute" II
think. And lots of Atlanta girls have
pets-either dogs, horses or cats
which would look fine in miniature
head pieces. Mrs. Winship Nunnal

ful' (using poetic license), done In
heavy silver; Miss Katherine Rich
ardson's dear little Pomeranian would
reproduce in sterling or gold, and
Miss Bessie Jones' white collie would

THEY tell me that male wall
flowers" are disappearing Owing
in all probability to the much
criticised new dances, men who dance
are no longer scarce, and 1t is now
no unusual thing to find more men
than women in a ballroom. At some
of the dances for the younger con-
tingent here, / have seen the proper
ton of five men to one girl, and for
that reason the habit of breaking

is annoying, especially to men who

A man starts out with a pretty
girl, and after two or three steps anc
a turn, another man whlrls of with

the younger set. At a large ball given
here during the course Of fraterni
