A Mock Marriage.
Athens, Ga . Nov. IT.—Lucy Cobh
gave quite a gay entertainment an eve
ning or so ago to all Lucy Cobb girls.
The occasion was a mock marriage
and was most successfully carried out.
The rhapel was a blaze of lights, and
the stage was transformed Into a bank
of foliage and flowers. The altar was
u mass of white chrysanthemums, be
hind which towered numerous palms.
Miss Bessie Hoytlbr play'd the wed
ding march on the pipe organ, and Miss
Lena Abbott, of Atlanta, the preacher.
In solemn garb, stood ready for the
ceremony, which teas a most originally
worded affair, and conducted with dig
nity.
Ve bride. Miss Nina Anderson
Crane, of Savannah, was a vision of
loveliness in white satin and bridal
veil, which was clasped with a diamond
train, a gift of the groom.
Phe carried an immense bmfquet of
white chrysanthemums and made a
picturesque and beautiful bride.
The groom. Miss Palmer Graham
Phelan, of Atlanta, with powdered wig.
« rich black suit, and jeweled buckled
Slippers, was the object of great ad
miration. . ...
The bridal party waa in colonial
costume, the bridesmaids wsartne
pink and green, the groomsman ana
tumea similar to that & t™ gr«nr>.
The bride came in on the erm or her
father Miss Francis Johnson, of At
lanta, a very stately old gentleman.

Social Aspect* ot Life at Va*aar.
The social life, apparently very sim
ple. Is In reality, rumple*, with subtle
distinctions, perhaps more Just than
the distinctions or the world outside.
In the main It ts. as all renulnw col
lege life must be, democratic. All pos
sible types are represented here.
In the adjustment of the diverge alms
and peculiarly# and the workings out
of a homogeneous whole lies the Inter
est of college social life
The New England girl is here, with
her brains, her family pride, her plen
tiful lack of this world’s goods; the
Western girl, perhaps an heiress, per
haps not; the girl from a Southern
plantation, gifted with tire and energy
that turn Into a hlvh quality of brain
work; the missionary’s daughter from
South Africa: the descendant of some
old Hudson river family, with a stock
of prejudices and convictions tp be tried
in the crucible ot this existence.
The maiden who goes arrayed In pur
ple and fine linen, who Alls her room
with exquisite carved furniture and
rare pottery, lives on the Senior corri
dor, next the girl who Is so poor that
on winter nights she is forced to pile
her clothing on the bed In order to keep
v.arm. Out of elements like these the
college life is made up, with its gayer
side, and it side of strict discipline,
mental and moral. —From "l-ndergrad
uate Life at Vassar,” by Margaret
Sherwood, tn Scribner’s.
Of Interest to Women.
It is said that the Quaker gown atid
bonnet of <rray are going more an)
more out,of use every year. The young

given up the gray altogether, and now
appear In frocks as bewitching as any
young maiden's of the world.

About the Toilet.
Even the simplest toilet Is not consld-*
ered complete nowadays without the
adornment of chains and charms, ban
gles or bracelets. A choice is often a.
difficult matter, as so many pretty
bracelet* are now to be found, but a
charming present would be one of the
patent self-closln ({bracelets. By means
of a sirring they open sufficiently to
pass over the hand and Just by com
pressing them they close up to fit any
wrist, so they are riot dependent on the
usual fragile little chain to prevent
them from being lost. In ease they
may not be generally known, although
they may be found at most of the Jew
elers’. they are made in gold in a va
riety of handsome designs; some are In
Ref ills, others in beautiful entwined
rings, each one studded, with a single
pearl or some other jewel, and as
watch bracelets they are excellent, as
they keep In one position and do not
turn round or slip about on the arm.

It is more than a snake show, other

Naturally the venomous snakes at

attribute of human nature that a man

hypnotist dead.
He Could Not Influence the Angel of
Death.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 17. Professor
Thomas A. Kennedy, of London. Eng.,
died at thehome of his sister in this
elty yesterday of Bright’s disease.
Prof. Kennedy was a well known
hypnotist and had Just arrived in Chi
cago from Australia, where he had
Just finished a two years' engagement.
He was taken suddenly 111 In Mel
bourne an I left at once for this coun
try.
He had Intended to make a tour of
the United States before returning to
England.
He was well known in San Francis
co, where he had. lived a number of
yea rs.
The people of Augusta were very
much surprised when Governor Can
dler appointed Co). D. 15. Dyer a mem
ber of his staff. Col. Dyer is a prom
inent Republican and has always been.
He has taken an active part in the na
tional campaign and was a square out
supporter of President McKinley.
There is no kick coming, however,
from the people of Augusta. Col. Dyer
is a good citizen and on enterprising
man. He is a war veteran of the
Union army, with a military figure,
and will look well under the plumes
and behind tbe aigulet of the state cf
Georgia. The idea in that, city seems
to be that ir the governor can stand
it the people can.—Savannah Press.
