NEW YORK SOCIETY
WOMAN IN ATLANTA
MRS. DOUGLAS ROBINSON, SISTER
OF EX-PRESiDENT ROoSE-
WELT, IN THAT CITY.

Atlanta, March 24.-Whiie Theodore
Roosevelt is reported to have met
with some mishap in the wI1ds OF the
South American jungle, his sister, Mrs
Douglas Robinson, a prominent New
York society woman, is visiting
friends in Atlanta, and is being made
the recipient of much social atten--
ton.
When shown the dispatches telling
how the Roosevelt party had lost
everything in the rapids" Mrs Rob
inson said she believed they would
have heard of it direct by this time
of any injury had befallen the co?
onel personally, and that she was net
much worried for his safety.
we had much more alarming re-
ports than that when he was in +
rica," she remarked.
Mrs. Robinson went down on De
catur street yesterday to see Judge
BroyleS and the recorders court, the
fame of which has even reached New
York. After watching with sympa
thetic interest OF appreciative smiles
the disposition Of a dozen typical ne
Sro cOSes, sheturnod to Judge Broy-
les and remarked that it was as good
as a minstrel show.
L have always wanted to see a
southern police court she said, SO
get more intimate glimpse of the
-outhern darkey, aud l won't soon
forget my experiences of today"
The former presidents sister also
had an interesting word to say about
her general impressions of the south.
/ had been raised to regard the south
as a sort OF s!ow-going peaceful place,
but Atlanta soon robs one Of the i'm
preston. | really mean it when | say
that Atlanta seems to me the most
progressive and enterprising city II
the whole country. 1t has the splen
did spirit that made the west, and
really deserves more credit than that
section, having had much moro to
overcome"

SaSheS are worn with these waists,
which tie at low line in the black,
causing or adding to the hustle effect
which was also a part of the fashions
when these waists were worn before.
The skirts of these dresses are
mostly made with lifelong tunic,
though some are made with a series
of ruffieS from hem 10 waistline.
The long tunics are being made in
sheer and thin materials and are even
more charming than in the heavier
materials. A dress of cerise crepe
with a ratine stripe is made with a
long tunic over a narrow underskirt
of the same material. The waist is
made with surplice front having a
shawl collar. A chemisette of folded
chiffon in creamy white is worn. AT
the back of the waist hanging from
the shoulders to below the waist line
is a circular cape.
With this was worn a charming
fiat Louis XIV hat of leghorn, we'll
tilted up at the back, and upheld by a
bandeau of small flowers. A sparce
wreath of these same flowers daisies,
roses and fOrget-me-nOts) circles the
top, across which black velvet rib
bon extends, tying behind under the
bandeau of flowers and falling well
onto the hair beneath.
Likewise for afternoon and evening
wear, planned to wear with this same
leghOrn hat, was sheer Organdy
frock, bounced and picot edged. The
three flounces were narrower both in
depth and width as they descended.
This gave a wide hip and narrow foot
line silhouette.
There are always occasions when
trips to town or week-ends in the
country are suddenly planned, and if
ones clothes are not in condition for
such a contingency the pleasurable
trip is spoiled. For such an occasion
a silk dress; light in weight and styl-
ishly made is appreciated. 1t does
not have to be laundered. it's simple
cut fits it for all svrts of informal
affairs, while more dressy materials
will allow of it's being used for the
more formal occasions. The illustra
tion is a smart example of dress to
fill such need-in blue fOulard. The
waist has the raglan shoulder line
with set-in sleeves The revers of the
waist turn back from a vestee of net
whose fullness is gathered up on q
silken cord. The skirt is made. with
fullness in the founced lower section
a la Paquin. The white hat worn
with this dress is of the stylish tri
corn shape with single white rose
