Allen were affianced sweethearts years ago, and separated only to meet again after twenty years, and to perfect the happiness arranged for in Mrs. Allen’s girlhood. They are resid ing at Rome, Ga. “What shall we name it?” That is what a dozen merry girls wish to ask about a club they organized yesterday.

The first booth on the right; was the flower booth which was a bower of beauty with roses,chrysanthemums, geraniums, ferns, palms and other hot house plants. The fancy work booth had many articles exquisite in design and work manship suitable for Christmas pres ents. Beyond was the which was sweetest of all.
