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. The first autumn meeting of the Der tbick Musical-Literary club will be held at “Rubyn June,” the home of Mrs. J. H. Reynolds, next Tuesday evening.

Arm ies of notes marshalled themselves with military precision beneath his fingers to be arranged into a double quick time. The whole performance was beautiful, intricate, masterful. 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.
