Refreshments and a small admission. The absorbing society topic is the beautiful home wedding of Miss Clark and Mr. Magill which occurred Thursday night. It is universally conceeded to have been one of the most elegant and picturesque home weddings that ever oc curred in Rome. Never did a wedding ceremony and reception go off so smoothly and delightfully m every respect. Instead of cutting a large cake accord ing to the traditional bridal customs, a number of little heart shaped cakes were given to the bridesmaids to break and find out their future which resulted as follows: Ring—Miss Ruth Norton. Thimble -Miss Florence Fouche. Knitting Needle—Miss Ella Gailliard. Dime—Miss Carrie Smith, of Anniston. It would take a great deal of space to describe each the many handsome and exquisite costumes. While white was the prevailing color of the materials for the gorgeous gowns there was seen pink, blue, green and black. The bride’s going away gown was of brown cheviot bound with brown silk cord with hat and gloves to match. As the couple left the house rose leaves thrown upon them instead of the tradi tional rice and old shoes. Much credit is deserved in the perfect arrangements of affairs for the wedding by Miss Marian Smith who proved her self to be a pre-eminent social direc tress. As a member of the family she took the deepest interest in all details and was an invaluable assistant. Mr. Magill and his bride are spending a few days in Nashville viewing the ex position and visiting relatives of the groom before going to St. Louis. «?anie Smith, of Anniston, for- Rome, who was maid of honor Clark Magill wedding was the recipient of many compliments on her beauty and grace of manner. Many of those who remember her as a little girl scarcely knew her the other evening in her radiant role. The Selma, Macon, Knoxville and other newspapers in cities where Mrs. Edward Everett Magill had visited are printing pleasant notices of her wedding. Mr. Magill’s gift to his bride was a pin representing a chameleon set in diamonds and olive leaves. Friday evening at the residence of Mr. J. A. Glover on avenue A. in the Fourth ward The Womans Parsonage Aid Society of the Second Methodist church gave an interesting art mu seum for the benefit of the blind musician Prof. Hodges. A neat sum was taken in at the door, and after puzzling over the museum that would require too much space, to describe, the happy crowd dispersed.

Mrs. Griffin kindly tendered her beau tiful home to them for their entertain ment. A nice program of recitations and music was rendered. Dainty refresh ments were served. This is a flourishing society of the younger members of the First Methodist church, numbering about forty members. The entertain ment was quite a success in every way, and a neat sum was realized for a good cause. One Reason of Success* We all know a charming woman who has the reputation of being the most popular woman in town. The other day, in discussing her, a group of people were trying to analyze her charm. When they came to think of it they realized that she was not beautiful, nor especially intellectual, that she was neither well read nor accomplished. Yet she seemed possessed of all desirable social gifts, if one were to judge by the number of her admirers among both the men and women. What was the secret of her success? One who had studied her methods closely said it was her cordiality. She was always delightfully polite to every one, it bad been remarked, and it was 1 her manner of bowing on the street and speaking at closer quarters that won for her so many warm admirers. “All of us are superb egotists,” said the speaker, ‘‘and when we meet a per son who looks and acts as though we are exactly the man or woman she or he most desires to see, at that particular moment, we are apt to think that per son perfectly charming. It is on the same plane as a woman warmly admir ing the most unattractive man who yet has the good taste to love her.’’ Someone else present thought it was not altogether cordiality that bad won the social success of the woman under discussion. “I tbink it is because she never inter rupts. You remember Ouida says-There is no conversation nowadays. How can there be when there are no listeners? When one speaks of orchids, one’s hearer says something about sardines. You don’t getthrough a whole sentence without somebody cantering across it and cutting up your grass.’ “In this rushing age everyone is in such a hurry to utter their particular bit of wisdom that they have no time to listen to what anybody else has to say. It ha? bee me rather the fad to inter rupt, always without the decidedly ob solete introductory, ‘excuse me,’ or ‘I beg pardon. ’ The woman we are speak ing of never permits herself to interrupt a speaker, no matter how strong must beat times the temptation to say some thing clever that will never again be so particularly apropos as at that particu lar moment. She is a past-mistress of self-sup pression. ’ ’ ‘‘Again this charming woman has as many personalities as there are people she meets, and these various personali ties are all expressed by the word ‘ex actly.’ She meets a celebrated divine and he talks theology. She replies with a soulful ‘exactly,’and he goes away de claring her the most religious woman he knows, 'one vastly superior to the feather brained creatures one meets in society. ’ A scientist talks enthusiastic ally of his life-work and is led on by her sympathetic ‘exactly’ to tell all the de tails of hid recent discoveries. Then he goes away and says he has at last met a woman who fully understands the in tricacies of science and that it is a pleas ure to know that such a one exists. The ward politician tells her his plans for the forthcoming campaign, and goes away loud in his praise of her clear un derstanding of politics, never dreaming that she has expressed this understand ing only by the one word ‘exactly.’ The poet tells her his aspirations, and her ‘exactly’ makes him confident that she shares with him his superlative scorn for the dull, prosaic world. The club man praises her wit, when all the time it is he who has told the good stories in response to which she has re peatedly laughed a mirthful ‘exactly.’ The school boy confides in her his love affairs and so sweetly sympathetic is her softly murmured ‘exactly’ that he raves over her as the one woman who can un derstand a fellow. * “Her reputation for suoh a wide charity and a beautiful generosity is a very enviable one, but a close abserver may see that it is won, not by anything she says in another’s praise, but simply by a hearty cordiality of manner in ‘exactlying’ everything said in praise of or excuse for others. The person with wrongs feel that already they have been avenged and a soothing lotion applied to his smarts when her denunciatory ‘ex actly’ follows close upon his tirade against ‘life and the world.’ “In a word, she holds up a mirror to everyone’s every varying mood, and the name of this magic mirror is ‘exactly.’ ” In no home in Rome is the muse of music more soulfully worshiped than in that of Mr. J. A. Glover. His very interesting family has added to their charm of manner the poetry of music, and every member of the fam ily can extract the symphony and beauty from some instrument. Until recently Miss Allie, on the violin, Joe on the mandolin and John on the piano, constituted the orchestra, but now a new trio has arisen to contest the laurels of their older brothers and sisters. Jule and little Jessie and Joy, the youngest, hardly able to sit on the piano stool, are practicing now with guitar, violin and piano, and promise soon to be a successful rival. There is said to be love, happiness and contentment in the home where music reigns. Mrs. H. H. McClure has returned from a very pleasant visit to Augusta. Miss Edna Cain, who so ably edits the Summerville News now, was in ths city Friday. Miss Clara Rhodes was reported to be slightly improved yesterday.

Mrs. Wardlaw is Not Going; Out of Busi ness But is Beady to Meet Cut Prices Editor Tribune: 1 have been a silent listener to a lot of gossip among the ladies in my store the past week. They dont understand why our dry goods merchants and milliners are all going out of busi ness, They are very much worried to know where they are to go to furnish them selves with the numberless garments nec essary for a lady’s trosieau. But what seemed to trouble them most of all was that there would be no more millinery openings for them to visit. It is so nice to get their hats and bonnets from their own accommodating milliners. Now the mystery to me is how they gained the impression that I was not going to sell hats much longer. Certainly I have said or advertised no cost or going out business of sales, I wish to state right here, to relieve their minds, that I have not the remotest idea of going out of business yet, and am not going to sell all my goods at cost. But I will state this fact most emphatic cally that lam prepared to meet all so called cost prices of my competitors. This I will proveto the entire satisfaction of all who visit my store. lam receiving new goods every few days and will keep posted and supplied with all the novelties furnished in < ther cities. Respectfully, Mrs J. F. Wardlaw.
