| this was not used merely to fill space,
but there Is some truth in the
"missus" admiring the count. But
which one is the "missus."
r HERE is going to be Valentine
tea dance at the Hotel Ans
Icy Saturday afternoon. l be-
lieve the d. A. r. Is having 1t for
some fund or other. but the point is
that It Is just what l have heard so
many OF the men say they wanted
somewhere downtown where they
could run in for dance or two. Sat
urday is an excellent day, as every
body has that afternoon free from
business. Scarcely ever Is a party
arranged that day, for the wives gave
this time to be with their husbands
and the young girls are always mop
ing their beaux will plan something
nice to fill that off afternoon. Really
| think the men would like cafe
where they could take their girls after
the theater end dance for short
time before returning home.
If permanent Saturday afternoon
noon tea dance were to be estab-
lished, things could never get very
dull. The Piedmont Driving Club is
having great success with it's We'd

Will be fine indeed.
low eagerly visiting girl is al
ways heralded, but somehow l
believe during dull seasons we
can appreciate her more. There is
a greater opportunity of seeing her
in an informal way and sometimes
there is a chance you may catch her
at home one afternoon. We were so
disappointed that Dorothy Wilmot, of
New Orleans, didn't come when she
said she was coming. But her moth
er was i'll and she couldn't travel and
Miss Wilmot wouldn't come without
her. You remember Miss Wilmot has
been here before and last year she
was queen of the carnival during
Mardi Gras. There is no wonder as
she is beautiful. She halls frorI a
family OF beautiful women, judging
from the honors paid their beauty.
Her elder sister Maude, was queen
the year she made her debut I am
afraid there will not be time for a
visit now from Dorothy before Mardi
Gras and so we must trust she will
come later.
But another comes to take her
place. or | may say to make a place
for herself, as she has never been here
before. She is Miss Naomi Andrews,
of New York, and she will be with
Mrs. Robert Cotton Aston during her
stay here. She is the daughter of
N,4 oil G.,y
drews, of Riverside Drive. They al
so have a home in the Catskill Noun
tains. 1t was at Thomasville last
year that Mrs. Aston and Miss An
drews became such friends. Mrs. AL
ston received invitations to all her
debut affairs. There are being a
number of parties planned for this
fair visitor who arrives the first Of
the week to spend several weeks.
N UGUSTA has surpassed all rec
n ords when it comes to giving a
bridge party. I heard all about
the one which Mrs. Glen Dunbar gave
at the Country Club last week for
Mrs. Martin Dunbar-our own Mrs.
Dunbar, yes, of Atlanta. There were
80 tables arranged in the big living
room and on the piazza, as it was
warm enough outside for that Now,
you know 80 tables means 100 play
ers. That is impossible, you say
Well, what will you think when l
tell you they pivoted, and at each ia
BILE there was beautiful filigree vase
Of flowers, and it went as a prize to
the one winning top score at that ia
BILE? Thirty prizes! And the conso-
lation was presented in most unus-
ual manner. One couldn't cut with
cards when there were so many unm-
bers to remember How could you
ever tell which was the lowest?
Therefore, a basket of jonqulls was
passed, and each guest drew for the
lucky bud, and to her was given a
beautiful crepe de chine negligee.
Mrs. Martin Dunbar was given
many other pretty parties during her
absence but none, l believe, surpassed
this one.

me that anyone would get tired
