she went to Florida several weeks
ago and she was at Palm Beach and
attended Monday evening the great
Washington Birthday ball. celebrated
for twenty years as the great fete
of the Palm Beach season. With her
were Miss Julia Murphy, her pretty
young daughter. and Miss Mamie
Gatins. She sustained the reputation
of the Atlanta women as being always
handsomely goWned. ! don't believe
we could have selected one who could
have done us greater credit. / will
never forget how stunning she looked
the evening of the Peters reception
last fall when she wore the headdress
of the Duchess of Devonshire. If she
only thought to arrange her coiffure
that way on this occasion / know
that none looked better than she
This ball took place at the wonderful
Royal Poinciana and the dancing con-
tinued until morning. It was too

Atlanta society has for its
