the big cities in trying to establish
what is known as the little season.
Atlanta has bPen quite successful with
ii. TOO. as it n in almost all that it
attempts.
The big season. Of course, com
prises all the debutante functions,
large dinner dances, balls, weddings
and that sort Of thisg which make for
US the gay winter. 1t ends with Lent.
BY the little season is meant the
period after Lent. Formal affairs
again are in order. Opera week brings
a grand climax to the little season"
The Lenten period was observed
here in tine true spirit BY numbers of
our gayest young married couples and
our young girls and the bachelor
men, too The dinner dances have
been rather small and the tea-dances
have missed regular attendants.
Therefore it was no more than was
expected that there would be new
impetus to the entertainments and a
freshness of spirit characterizes the
prospect for the coming week So
eially.
Mrs Julian Field VIII entertain six
teen of the debutantes at luncheon
Wednesday in honor of Miss Adgate
Ellis. All winter she has been plan
ming to have some affair for Miss
Ellis, but there seemed to be no time
quite prop.tous. and this comes as
a reminder to the fair buds that their
season has not yet come to a close.
Then there are to be three weddings
this week, which means that there
will be crowded into only a few days
parties for these brides, who all We're
Observers Of Lent.
&aanother pretty event Will be the
l1hcheon Mrs. c. C. McGehee will
have Thursday for her two sisters,
Mrs. Estes, Of Columbus, and Mrs.
Hassen, Of Long Island.
One of the earliest parties that l
know of for this week is the recep-
ton which Mrs. Presley D. Yates will
give Monday for her sister, Miss
Katherine Richardson. About 10
guests have been invited and it will
be the first large reception for fully
two months.
Had YOU forgotten that the Lyric
stock company opens its engagement
here on Monday evening? Whether
it will be popular place for society
folk will be proven within the next
two weeks Atlanta as a rule enjoys
q company of this kind immensely.
The people here seem to love to COM

OF public interest viii be the Dos
Show on the lawn Of Mr. Nunnally
at Brookwood Saturday afternoon,
when the members of the Atlanta
Kennel Club will exhibit their dogs
and ribbons will be awarded. Great
interest is always shown in these af-
fairs. The membership has increased
remarkably since last year and there
will probably Will be at least 80 en-
trants at this show
All this activity seems appalling
after the quiet we have all enjoyed.
yet l believe it is good for us not to
get into too much of a habit Of doing
nothing. We have rested long enough.
We must have a good time until va
cation comes and we so for a pleas
