good one. Well see what happened;
poor young person who thinks she
has spark OF the divine fire OF lit
erary talent heard II, and at once
conceived the idea Of writing great
story about it. Certainly it was the
making of delicious o. Henry tale
for the magazines And she did
And back came the poor manuscript
with a little note, written by a great
editor who knows
"A good story, and well done" saws
he But It is very, very old. 1t was
told in this magazine six years ago,
and in a dozen others. 1t was popu-
lar in France twenty years ago"
SO you see, don't believe all you
hear-not half of 1t Perhaps not any
of It.
OUR thoughtless young people! OF
course. it is the inalienable righe
and heaven sent prerogative Of
BOYS and girls 10 be careless, but
when one gets as old as I-oh, dear,
almost said something. Anyhow,
listen or not, just as you please, for
am going to preach
Be careful. girls, and thoughtful OF
other people when you go to the the
alter. Remember that nobody wants
10 hear you, and there are few VINO
care to look at you while the show is
going on. for It's pretty safe con-
clusion that everybody has come to
see the show itself ! know that you
are irrepressible, and WILL talk-or
at least whisper wee bit-but please
don't.
am the spokesman here for Mrs.
F1.ke and for DR. Memminger and
the Drama League members gener-
ally. You should have heard what
they said about you at their meeting
the other day. DIR. Memminger ana
Mrs. Spiker got up to say That you
yes, you girls in the boxes, pracll
caiiv spoiled the first performance or
Mrs Fishes play by your chattering'
Mrs Fiske said so herself, In TACT
full little complaint TO members or the
league whom she met.
Dr Memminger was very, very SIN
oere about what he said He thought
n was the duty OF the Drama League
members and, in fact OF everybody
who goes to the theater for the sake
Of good performances, to assume the
role of censors of the audiences be-
havior And he outlined plan.
So If YOU are not careful and
thoughtful when next you go to the
theater. you are going to hear an IN
Sistent ssh h-h-h h" coming in your d.
rection from those OF the audience
who would rather hear the actors
than hear you. public reprimand'
You must admit, would be embarrass-
ing SO It's your part to make 1t un-
necessary.
And, OF course you will.
OCIETY has never appealed to
Ida May Blount as 1t does to
most young girls. She mas
spent her time to very good adVan-
tage at college, and when on her va,
cations. Never have we had girl
so well versed in the current nap
peninrs of the day throughout the
universe. She keeps up with every
thing and everybody who is doing
great things in this big old world.
| hear that she is soon to take up
the study of law and will practice as
soon as she can be admitted TO the
bar. She will make fine lawyer.
she is an excellent ConVersatlonallst
and has great reasoning ability. How
do / know? Why, for several seasons
already she has been allied with the
woman's suffrage movement, and she
has converted a great number OF girls
TO her way OF thinking.
She believes in women having the
ballot and doing anything they can
to uplift the moral standard.
Maybe by the time Miss Blount has
entered into the profession | Will need
a real good lawyer to get me OUT
OF some slight difficulty, and she will
certainly be my choice.

TT PROMINENT bride whom l
IA saw at the lie The Dansant
at the Piedmont Driving Club
Wednesday afternoon and who was
the center of much admiring interest,
was the attractive Mrs. Edwin J.. Nc
Rurney, who was before her marriage
Mrs. Helen Sterrett Hersey, OF Pater-
son. \, ]. She wore on that ocCa-
sion a handsome gown of very pale
amber crepe meteor, the blouse OF
chiffon embroidered in white and
black with a black sash, very wide in
front, so wide in fact that If merely
hung from the waist line as tunic
and was caught below the waist in
the back in one large loop She wore
above her jet black hair small af-
ternoon turban of black tulle, the
pleated ruche standing high in coro-
net. When ] saw her she was dane
ing with young Willard McBurney,
but her husband was there with her
and took up the greater part of her
time himself, introducing her to some
of his friends she had not met before,
Since their wedding tour the McBur-
neys have had another nice little trip.
They went to South Georgia in their
touring car and were away for fully
two weeks. You see Mrs, McBurney
hasn't had a fair chance Of meeting
people yet and stll she is already In
great demand at all the formal lunch
cons and dinners. Indeed. Atlanta
is very fortunate in acquiring such a
