SOCIETY DEBUTANTES
TO ECONOMIC
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Especial to Times-Recorder.)
ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 23.-Seventeen
Atlanta girls who will make their de-
but in society this season have signed
a pledge not TO permit any extrava-
gance in Their coming-out parties and
if the proud fathers and mothers can
be induced to hold down the expenses
their bank balances will be considera-
bly, relieved. The debutantes have
agreed to refrain from that rivalry in
entertaining which has characterized
so many social affairs in Atlanta. Last
season, it was said, several families
spent not less than five thousand dol
lars each on presenting their daugh-
ters to other folks daughters-and they
all knew each other from childhood.
The move on the part of the girls is
a part of the campaign for economy
following the European war. Local
merchants who have been supplying a
part of the fripperies are not expected
to be enthusiastic over this plan for
social economy.

"SUBDUES MIGHTY RIVAL THAT
He MAY WIN A GIRL"

Willard Holmes, in proving himself
the man to subdue the waters of the
Colorado and confine them to the ca
nails that were to carry them to the
desert proved himself worthy of Bar
bara Worth, the wonderfully fascinat-
ing central figure in the dramatization
of the noval of Harold Bell Wright,
which is soon to be seen in this city.
Until Holmes has won that battle with
the flood and proved his mettle, he was
unworthy of the love of such woman.
At the time of his introduction to
the desert, Holmes was to be rated as
something of snob. He looked upon
his ancestry as sufficient to stamp him
man worthy of high place in any
community. His schooling he rated
as emitting him to speak the last word
| in engineering. He had to go up
against life in it's fullest sense, prove
himself man, start all over again
and evolve from snobbery into full
manhood before he could hope to win
the woman fit to become his wife.
The West in a maker of men. Before
its problems all gloss of birth and
education falls away. 1t calls only for
the man who can make good. Holmes
had to make good on one of the big
gest engineering achievements record
ed in the winning of the West. Author
and playwright have wisely chosen this
battle with the water of the Colorado
river, which was made by the Southern
Pacific railroad company's engineers
in defense of the farms and homes OF
the settlers in Imperial Valley, for the
crucial test of man who had sci
himself the task of winning the heart
OF a woman of wonderful strength Of
mind.
In 1.-THE Winning of Barbara Worth
the winning of the new and untram
1Ieltd West by the scions of the Older
Eastern families is reanacted. 1t IL
the history of America put in the bes
dramatic form. The fascinating stor!
on which the play is founded is full
of symbolism. Barbara Worth, chile
found alive in THE Hollow of Gods
Eand," stands for the new, the un
tainted, the untrammeled West embed
led in a woman. Willard Holmes il
the old, tradition tied, polished IL
Eastern manhood. Only such a cata
clysm as the author employs could suf
ice to bring these two together
Holmes becomes worthy and wins thu
love of Barbara. Had he failed at any
point in his evolution there would have
been different story to tell.
On the stage, "The Winning of Bar
bara Worth" makes one of the great
est dramatic stories told in modern
times. 1t is, a production which raise:
the enthusiasm to the highest pitch
while pleasing and satisfying at ever.

tress, there still remained in the
minds of his audience a serious doubt
Mat such thing was possible.
Buck Beau Brummel Farley was
then announced as the member who
had tried many times and failed, and
he was requested to explain the feel
ings of a man who was doomed to
single cussednes but who would have
it otherwise if he could. Curran be-
gan his remarks in the soft tones OF
B. fiat like a man who wasn't sure OF
his grounds, but gradually worked
himself up to the full diapson of a
trombone and before he had finished
every man in the audience was in tears
and begged him to stop, lest his pitable
i fate might tempt some of of his fellow
prospects to sudden suicide.
Then the masterful Gaffey called on
j. Rerepont Davis, the wealthy local
broker to relate the numerous matri-
! monial proposals which had been
thrust at him from time to time dur
ing his wonderfully successful career
and with a confidential gusto that
swept the brilliant dining hall, he
raised the commiserated spirits of his
fellow bachelors from their pitiable
plight and before he had finished, the
H., last dog of them-even to Farley
were whooping with full confidence
that every maiden lady thay evel

That may seem so unlikely to you that you do not even hope for an ending of your trouble, ubt permit us to assure you that it is not altogether impossi- ble.

COUNCIL PROBABLY SOON TO
 DISCUSS IMPROVEMENT PLANS
At Regular Meeting of Council on Monday, February 2, Findings Concerning Proposed Campaign of Public Improvements will
 Probably be Discussed.

The city council, at it's next regu- lar meeting, on the evening of Mon day, February 2, will in all probability discuss the proposed campaign of pub lie improvementsthat of consummated will be of benefit to every section of the town, and in those discussions outline the views of the individual councilmen each of whom have for some weeks been considering the ad- visibility of such a campaign, and in connection the most important fea- lures of the public improvements to be embodied.
 It is possible that from such dis cussions on the part of the various members a plan of campaign can be outlined, although probably, because of the magnitude of the undertaking, no definite conclusions can at that time be reached, the policy of the council being to proceed with the best interests of the citizenship as their guide in any such improvements as are contemp plated.

Lowenbruck Visits From Mexico B.

MT. Lowenbruck states that conditions in the vicinity of his ranch, which is in the north ern portion of the state of Sonora, itself one of the northermost states, are very quiet, the Constitutionalists apparently being in full control of the situaton. He returned to Mexico after visiting here for a few days. J. c. Gatti is still heavily engaged in the buying of cattle from the northern ranches of Mexico, and selling them to points throughout the United States, the supply of the ranges ap- parently being of such extent that many more revolutions vii be requfr- ed for any appreciable exhaustion.

 | The government was represented by Assistant District Attorney Seth,
 whose headquarters are at Albuquer- que, N M, and upon this attorneys motion the case against the Mexicans was dismissed, as it was found that sufficient evidence against them could not be obtained.
