to St Moritz Switzerland for the
Christmas holidays Yeatman's
school session seems .nterminable, for
It begins in October and ends in July.
That is why the Humans viii not go
sooner, and. Of course, too, Or. Hin
man wishes to be in London at the
International Dental Congress in Au-
gust. / guess they viii all return the
LIST Of September and then Louise will
begin her preparations for a brilliant
winter. as she is to be one Of the buds
next season, and very great success
is awaiting her, I assure you.
IT HIS has been winter for cos
tune balls. Never before have
there been so many in the city
Of Atlanta. First there was tho Har-
vest Ball at Halloween, then the Pc
ters' fancy headdress party There
followed the O'Clock mask ball and
the cotillion fancy dress ball And
now we are to have another one on
Valentines evening. ] would like TO
suggest that this one be different from
all the others-that It be a time for
the women and the men, too, to copy
the famous pictures one sees in the
large art galleries. For instance.
wouldn't Mary Helen Moody look well
ascending the stairs dressed as Queen
Louise of Prussia, that picture that
brand of shoes have made so ia
miliar to our sight2 And little Mrs.
Clarence Haverty will DO a most
charming Lady Elizabeth Taylor as
portrayed by Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Who would ever be so pretty a Lady
Mines as Mrs. John Grant? Even
Romney himself would be proud OF
the imitation she could easily evolve.
Mrs. Frank Adair could reproduce
Sir Thomas Lawrence's Mrs. Siddons
TO perfection. And Mrs. John Murphey
has already shown what a handsome
Duchess of Devonshire she can be.
Don't you remember she appeared as
the Duchess at the Peters ball early
in the fall7 Carolyn no doubt can
arrange her couture in the high style
OF the Honorable Mrs. Graham, show
ing a typical Gainsborough model.
One OF our patient mothers might
represent one OF the famous Ma
donnas, and ther are pictures for our
men to initiate also. Let mo suppose
Hal Hentz in the guise OF Charles l,
and Neil Reed as Phillip II OF Spain.
When / see the Portrait of Young
Man by Andrea del Sarto, l straight
way think CT Eugene Kelly.
Why there are hundreds Of por-
traits that come 10 my mind, that OF
Innocence. Of Madame lie Brun with
her daughter, The Lady With the
Fan. Millet's Cleaners. the Blue Boy,
any one OF which could be adapted
to the individuality OF some living
OF our girls and young men. and
there would be the great pleasure of
planning for these costumes. 1t might
necessitate several trips TO the pic
ture gallery, or many nights spent
with book on Famous Portraits, but
wouldn't II be well worth while? We
need brushing up on things like this
anyhow, and that would be an ex-
cellent opportunity.

Now ] understand perfectly that
really have no business interfering
with the Valentine Ball in the least,
but | am so interested in fancy balls, !
and my greatest wish Is for Atlanta
TO excel in everything. and l have not
heard of anything like this in any
OF the big cities There was the
Renaissance Ball which Mrs. William
Draper gave some time ago. II was

of the biggest successes of her nota-
BILE social career. The Washington
papers at the time spoke Of Il as zone

ambitious standard for other host
