The weddingvof Miss Sarah Leila
Berry and Mr. Albert Gallatin Ewing
will occur Oct. 27 at high noon.
It will be a quiet yet beautiful home
wedding at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles E. Berry, three miles
from Rome on the Calhoun road.
Only the immediate friends will be
present. Rev. C. B. Hudgins, rector
of St. Paul’s Episcopal church, will
perform the ceremony.
The bride will be given away by
her brother, Mr. Charles E. Berry.
Mr. Oryille Ewing, of Nashville,
brother of the groom, will be best
man, and Miss Mamie E. Berry, sister
of the bride, will be maid of honor.
There will be no attendants.
The bride-to-be is a daughter of the
late James Berry. She is highly edu
cated, accomplished in all womanly
’affairs and widely travelled. She is
pobsed of a most loveable dispo
sition, and is in every way a most ad
mirable young lady.
Mr. Ewing is a native of Nashville,
but since his location in Rome has
made a most enviable reputation at
the bar. He is now a partnerjof Hon.
Seaborn Wright. Mr. Ewing is one
of those rare beings seldom met in.
these degenerate days—a perfect gen
tlemen. No young man in Rome is
more highly respected.or has a higher
character than he. The Tribune joins
his many friends in extending con
gratulations and him much happi
ness.
After a two weeks bridal trip the
couple will go to housekeeping at No.
319 East Fourth street.
James Lane Allen says in his forth
coming book, “The Choir Invisible:”
“Some women in marrying demand
all and give all; with good men they
are happy, with base men they are
the heartbroken. Some demand ev
erything and give little, with weak
men they are the tyrants, with strong
men they are the divorced. Some
demand little and give all, with con
genial souls they are already in
Heaven, with uncongenial souls they
are soon in their graves. Some give
little and demand little, they are the
heartless, and they bring neither the
joy of life nor the peace of death.”
Is it not with sincere regret that we
mark the passing of the summer girl 1
Such a| dainty, confiding, delightful
creature she is—how we all adore her!
But with the first chill winds of au
tumn. she gave a charming little
shiver, packed up her be-ruffled or
gandies and fluffy white parasol in her
Saratoga, and hied herself away, says
a writer in the Dalton Argus. And
the society man is despondent! He
vaguely wonders why he no longer
experiences that same self-satisfied
feeling, he has no one to laugh at his
boil-mots, or assure him he is the fin
est fellow in the world. He smokes
dozens of cigarettes, wears an expres
sion of settled melancholy—and then
the first of the month rolls round and
the bills come in. Then, surely, he
has cause for despondency. Flowers,
Huylers, drives, etc., to say nothing
of the tailor’s bill for the elegant dress
suit In which he had hoped to look
‘•utterly swell” for her sake “And,
by Jove, perhaps I’m only a memory
with her after all,” he ruminates,
while a look of grim determination
settles ’round the corners of his mouth.
He plans a trip to see her, thinks he’ll
surprise her, then big heart softens
and he wires her he’ll be there on
such and such a day.
And she, dearjsummer girl, has met
amerpbosed 'into an every day girl,
the wings of the social butterfly are
gone—but her summer’s conquest is
still fresh in her heart. Has she not
told each and every one of her very
best girl chums every day since her
return how perfectly lovely he was?
And then they meet—but somehow
things seem different. Perhaps it is be
cause gas light is so trying, but the
maid in the braided tailor suit is not half
so winsome as the summer girl in her
lace-trimmed organdie and pretty pic
ture hat. And he, well she doesn’t think
he’s looking well, and asks why he
didn’t wear that dear old golf suit she
liked so much—and “finis” is soon
written to the summer romance.
But we never despair, for we know
that when June rolls round with her
Wealth of roses and summer skies, our
summer girl will comeback to us—again
to be the same exacting, wilful, attrac
tive and thoroughly charming creature
we have longed for all the year round.

fingers to be arranged into a double

Mies Dustman’s 11th Raphsodie
from Liszt was also a fine exhibition
of musical ability, while Miss Annie
Louise Griswold’s vocal solo was
sweet, rich and mellow and full of
dramatic power.
“The Steam Chair,’’ a recitation
by Mies Ada Brown, was highly ap
preciated. Also Miss Ivylyn Duggan’s
song, which was extremely lovelv, her
notes being full and round and.under
good control.

congratulated for the feast of good

ary way for the guestsbf the evening.
