Family's Old Friends. by oA Mr.. s sna
Mrs. Preston S. Arkwright at Pine
bloom. their home out of Atlanta, Ca.
last week, to present their daughter,
Miss Dorothy Arkwright. niece of Mrs.
William L. Marshall of this city.
The position Mrs. Arkwright holds in
the affection of Atlanta's old estab-
iished social world had paved the way
for a quick appreciation of the win
someness of her lovely debutante
PRODUCTION of the young lady of the
house was pervaded by the intimate
and happy spirit of a cordial welcome
from old friends. says the Atlanta Con-
stitution.
Many of the ladies of the receiving
party were lifelong associates of Mrs
Arkwright in both their social and
their philanthropic interests, and the
set who assisted. were most of them
the daughters of lifelong friends.
The beauty Of Pinebloom, palatial,
but a home, made ideal setting for the
entertainment and for the elegance Of
the costumes of the large company Of
ladies.
1t is fallacy to imagine that fond
parents are going into bankruptcy to

oAlei all ing. This idea
of social extravaganza does very nicely
for motion picture plots, and yet when
a man fails, or a family goes into re-
treat, the consensus of opinion is gen
orally that all the money was spent on
the daughter. If they happen to be
bringing gu. a daughter that year.
The debutante's wardrobe is never SO
expensive as pictured in the magazine
stories. The new rich may splurge, but
those on firm social footing never
do. The debutante's frocks are all SIM
pie but effective. and they will wear
the same evening frock dozens of times
without exciting any comment. There
is very little expense attached to the
home entertainments. The debutante is
the recipient of SO much outside at
tention that she can get along very
well with one reception at home and a
large dance, to pay off her obligations.
1t is the large dance, given at some
popular ballroom. that costs consider
able, according to the size of the ball
room and the amount of catering. But
the competition in bathrooms is SO
great nowadays that the cost is almost
half what it was some years ago. Some
mothers have spent as high as $4,000
for a single entertainment for their
daughters, but such instances are few
and far between. Some mothers spend
$4,000, others less, considerably less,
LEGATIONS with ease and distinction.
Extravaganza in the presentation of
daughters is now considered absurd.
The prevailing idea is to make the en-
tertainments as informal and as Jolly
as possible and to eliminate alto
gether the idea of splurge, according to
the New York Times.

cupation. Of dancing and dining there
/ is a-plenty. though there is a great dearth
| of balls outside of the regular standbys
like the two assemblies, the annual charity
ball (this season the Spanish ball). and
the dance of the Bachelors and Benedicts,
says the Chicago Tribune.
| This year the iast-named function,
which occurred last Wednesday evening,
was a dinner-dance in the crystal ball
room of the Blackstone Hotel Departing
| from their traditions, the Bachelors and
Benedicts simply had rag cotillon after
dinner. In other years they used to have
all sorts of unique and elaborate stunts
l-snowstorms, dancing bears, fantastic
cotillon figures, picturesque and original
scenic effects, and so forth.
The BIS and BIS are losing this year
four of their most active and capable
directors, veterans of many seasons.
Their retirement should entitle the mem
berS of this quartet to the regulation old

withdrawing directors-who. it must be
admitted, contrived their own retirement
are ]. Allen Haines, Charles Dewey, Ralph
Poole and Rosecrans Baldwin. The final
ceremony of their tenure of office was
when their respective wives stood at the
entrance and received the evenings com
pany.
Next year four more veterans will be
retired in like manner from the direction
of the Bachelors and Benedicts, and their
wives will stand in line to greet the
guests.
The Bachelors and Benedicts and the
assemblies try not to cover exactly the
same territory, so the former is extend

and young married people, while the list
of the assemblies continues to have

ness and just cleared the floor. Ihe
decollete bodice displayed the pretty
neck and shoulders of the wearer in
modest fashion, it's "V'' shape having
narrow fold of old blue velvet set
with small rhinestones as finish. Fail
ing over the top of the arm from the
shoulder of the gown was a frill OF
white net about an inch and hair IN
width, which softened it's baroness and
also gave an original touch to the dress.
Mrs Anderson's chief ornament was a
necklace of opal beads that emphasized
the unusual artistry of her costume.
At first glance the gown seemed to be
hardly worth a second look, but OBJ
served at a different angle, the full
effect of the color scheme came into
view and made its charm felt upon
the observer. 1t was as original
combination of color as some of the
harem-like modes of the day, but it had
about it the suggestion of orchards and
meadows and the soft, pearly light of
dawn that transformed it into a poem
or symphony-whichever term the
reader decides is the less hackneyed. 1t
was also suited to Mrs. Anderson's
natural repose and dignity of manner
and therefore served the ideal purpose
of woman's gown to mirror her inner
self.
