They were with the Johnstons, who were entertain ing for Margaret Cameron, their attrac- tive guest from New York. All of the boxes were filled with the loveliest sort of girls and men. for MT. Hazard S groomsmen were entertaining the mem- bers of the wedding party, and Belle was the very loveliest of the lot. Then Blanche Devine and Grace Murphy were just across the way, all radiant in their beauty-for it is really a rarity that two such beautiful girls are guests in the same home, at the same time.
 This afternoon all of us went to Mrs. Crawford Johnson's for bridge and tea

You could just imagine that the yellow tulips and jonquils that were massed everywhere were bordering a path in an old-fashioned garden, and their fragrance was making you dream. We had the best est things to eat and Susie-of course. it was for Susie Nabb--was her prettiest. The prizes were silk hose and Mrs. John- son gave Susie the duckiest silk costume bag for travelling. I suppose she will use it on her honeymoon-think of it!

 Friday-This is to be busy day and not a play day at all, for there as so many things to do. and so many folks to see l have promised all sorts of people that I would do all sorts of things and just one day to do them in. I had golf this morning to start me out right, and now it is a rush to be at the dress makers in time for a fitting. There are all sorts of interesting movies in town to- day. and so of course, I will take them In. Then this afternoon I think I will go up to Leonora's studio and watch her paint stripes on vase. It is to be mar vicious thing-so says Leonora--and I am interested in the process. Then there are other things that don't matter. among them being date with Bunkie, for, of course, Bunl1ie occupies very unim- portant place in my life just now. I won- der if anyone dares to know the truth!
 Saturday-Im so happy over the parties tonight that I can hardly write in my beautiful diary book, though I prom ised faithfully that I would record every little thought. Heaven forbid that my thoughts should be recorded anywhere! I am to meet Dorothy and some of the other girls in town this morning, and then we are all to separate for luncheon. Dorothy and Leonora and I are going to the Southern club. they with two boys and l with very wonderful person, know; and Elizabeth and Polly and Mar garet and the other two. Blanche and Grace, are going to the Tutwiler Then there is the Lyric calling most of them. but l have other things more important to do. I wish that the hours were not so short or that there were more of them. for before l know it the afternoon will be gone, and time for the dinner-dance at the club.
 But then when think of the joy that awaits me there really can't object All sorts of fascinating things are being planned for next week, and ys usual the debbies are the center of the whirl. Even the seasons have favored us. for this year Lent comes later than it has for many moons. So am going to stop rushing and just sit back and enjoy it all and wonder if all of the wcrId is as happy as Of course, I know it couldn't be- but then I am glad that I have joy for per laps I may be able to impart it to others It is good to think that by froliclling and dancing at the black and white ball we may be able to take care of little chill dren, but know that isn't all, so I am going to do more of the real unselfish helping There are lots of folks to show me how. Time to run, and sogood-by. but here's to the soy of the debutantes as a way of bringing joy to others!

the fall, when everything has become glorious under the suns of the summer, and when the vines have taken on their purple and gold.
 Tt has been said that the place in which a man dwells is, in real sense, the expression of himself; and the house under consideration is fully expressive of
 it's owners. It has been created and adorned, within and without, with perfect artistry, showing a sensitiveness of tone and color, yet there is u complete ab- sence of what one meets with so fre- quently in modern work, an over-anxious and ingenious originality. The designer s solicitude and care have been extended tc every detail, to the setting of every stone. It would be true to say that every square foot of the building has been the object of his consideration; but it is only after attentive study on the ob- servers part that one finds this out. The effect of the whole is simple to plain ness, but look close, and in the finish of every detail, and even in the setting in the courses of masonry, there are indica- tions of patient thought and a knowledge of extracting the best results from the simplest means.
 'The structure, IFS feet in length, is of local field stones taken actually from the estate itself. and is of design essentially American, facing due north and south With sun parlor on the west ana a piazza with simple Doric pillars on the eastern side overlooking the sound, the whole enjoying the full benefit of the light and air. The spirit of the soil is in the place, the hard stone giving its indi- viduality alike to the house and garden
 One would be tempted to finger over the harmonious charm of the place as de- scribed by the writer, for he continues to tell of it's broad rooms, it's rich furnish ings and the general beauty of Chieftans Through it all Is seen the personality of Mrs. Church, and the pervading charm that her Birmingham friends might recog nize.
 The article is illustrated with photo graphs and the rooms, in being pictured, seem no less lovely, though the rich tones of hangings, and upholsteries and decora- tions are missing. Mrs Church's own suite is done in French gray, the sub- dued tone being varied by draw curtains for the windows in faded rose taffeta. In her boudoir the furnishings are exquis- itely tasteful, dainty mirrors and gray damask with the rose taffeta together emphasizing repose.
 Chieftans, in it's entirety, must be an ideal spot, for having seen it pictured, one still more desires to see 1t in reality
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-30

Mrs. Church's visit calls to mind an article which recently appeared in Town and Country, and which at the time at- tracted a great deal of comment among her Birmingham friends. This article was descriptive one, telling in detail of Chieftans, the beautiful country home of MT. and Mrs. Church at Greenwich, Conn.,
 Although situated within an hour of the Grand Central station in New York, writes George Henry Mccall, "the house and farm buildings, resting as they act ually do on a small plateau that seems to all intents and purposes to have come into existence for their reception, stand finely in the midst of extensive rolling pastures, woodlands, shadowy lanes and gardens; a superb green blue-eyed will derress giving the impression of perfect calm and repose. Sloping away from the eastern side of the house, about eight miles distant, one can discern the north ern shore of Long Island, and this beau- tiful outlook across the fertile country is well worthy of the situation and pros- pect which the windows command.
 "All around Is invested with an air of peaceful security, enriched with that
 
 teristic of this part of Connecticut. It is usually the case that when thing is worth setting off, 1t is worth setting off well; for the same knowledge of effect will guide man both in the creation of his work of art and in the placing and displaying of it. and certainly Chieftans deserves it's fine setting and can justify it.
 Two years ago what Is now we'll ordered estate was used to supply the needs of an elderly Dutch farmer. and the old farmhouse itself was practically the only building on the property. A judicious use of decorative lattice, per golas and cedar fences Is evident in the various corners of the Chieftans flower garden. and the orchard is greatly en- hanced by the introduction of the items of woodcraft worked into a pleasing har- mony. Some wise planning was required before the garden was actually begun, and now it is sweet with flowers and clamberng roses with Tagged sidewalks and a sundial rising peacefully from lawn.
 There are attractions at this place at all seasons of the year. whether in spring, when the trees are budding and the bulbous plants are lifting their nod ding crowns from the grass, or again in

event of the day, of course, and there, too, saw lovely spring flowers, and Mary Mott Williams looking lovelier than ever. Margaret Moore and Elizabeth Locke shared honors. but naturally the visitor was the center of attraction. At noon VIC were seated at the little flower decked tables, and had a most beautiful time talking things over, for all of us have been so busy that there has been little time for gossip. Of course the eternal ques- ton of clothes was uppermost, for this balrny weather makes one tire very quick ly of furs and heavy wraps, and really there are some charming things in the shops-suits and hats and all sorts of light, springy things that remind you of violets and crocuses and wildfiowers.
 Mrs. Jack Asbury poured coffee at the party and after the games all of the honor guests received a gorgeous corsage of roses and lilies. Polly is just about the dearest person I know and I don't think Elizabeth said a word too much about her. She certainly has had an amazing number of parties given for her and just this morning Leonora called me up and asked me to a studio tea. Trust Jig to think up something diff ferent and perfectly attractive. I hear that she is quite tired of the pinks and blues and yellows that she has seen every where this season and that hers is to be futurist tea.
 In ran into Eula Harris tea for a while this afternoon and found everyone in a stir of enjoyment, for all of the girls were having a joyously good time. Susie Nabb was very lovely( her blond beauty being so effectively set off by her black tulle frock, Then, Annie Franklins visit tors were awfully nice. I have always heard a lot of Lorraine Cunningham. It seems that she has been queen of all sorts of balls down in Mobile and is one of the most popular debutantes ever making a bow, and I don't wonder a all, for she
 is radiantly beautiful. And Ellen O'Keefe is stunning, as are all Atlanta girls most, so she is having an inordinately good time, too.
 Tonight I shall take in' the Lyric, for I feel as if I were on a great sight-see- Ing tour, and then I have all sorts of plans for tomorrow.
 Wednesday-Today. of course, was a gala day at the club and there were nore wonderful luncheon parties than ,sual. The visitors were queens of the four, and the rooms were more like gar len beds than club apartments. But I lave always been partial to the reception
