J. Whatley w r as the scene of a wedding of rare beauty and interest Saturday at high noon when their only daughter. Miss Mary Ethel, be came the bride of Henry Hammond Swatts, formerly of Bamesville, Ga. The entire lower floor was thrown together, where the decorations were altogether in pink and green. Pink snapdragons were tastefully ar ranged in crystal holders, while southern smilax festooned the walls and chandeliers, making a graceful arch between the parlor and library. On either side of this were stands of graceful ostrich ferns forming a beautiful setting for the ceremony. At the appointed hour Miss Fran ces Watson took her place at the piano and to the soft strains of Men delssohn’s wedding march the bridal party entered and was met at the altar by Elder J. T. Satterwhite, of LaFayette, who performed the cere mony in his simple, impressive and beautiful manner in the presence of the family and a few close friends. Making this ceremony more impres sive is the fact that Elder Satter white united the mother and father of the bride twenty-three years ago. The charming young bride was never more lovely than at this time, when her girlish beauty was en hanced by her ensemble gown of hand embroidered crepe gaille in rust brown and tan shades, with ac cessories to match, her hat being an attractive model of brown with pastel shades. She carried a shower bou quet of bride’s roses and valley lilies tied with embroidered white tulle. The bride in her girlish manner has endeared herself to a wide circle of friends. She is very talented in music and has made this a special study. Mr. Swatts holds a position of trust with the Opelika Motor Cos., and in this capacity meeting and making friends by the score.

Collier was opened with a gracious welcome to the members of the Three Arts club for the January meeting. The accommodations of the spacious home were much enjoyed since the club has almost outgrown the seating capacity of the club house. The decorations were a foretaste of spring and were in perfect har mony with the rare musical program that was rendered. Mrs. U. C. Barrett was chairman of the January program which was decidedly one of the best the club has enjoyed, the study being the opera, “Faust.” As the roll was called, names from I. to L., inclusive, responded with quotations from Wm. Cullen Bryant. Mrs. W. H. Hahr gave a very in teresting sketch of Gounod. A synopsis of Opera, “Faust,” by Mrs. Emmett Coleman was a fine study. The Flower Song, vocal solo, by Mrs. H. E. Armstrong, was applaud ed to the echo, but Mrs. Armstrong never responds to an encore. Mrs. C. M. Dunn, the president, announced that some choice records of the Opera had been furnished the Three Arts club with the compliments of the Cable Piano Cos., of Atlanta. After expressions of appreciations for so great a courtesy several rec ords were given on the victrola, in cluding “Once Again I Love Thee,” “Soldiers’ Chorus.” “The Hour Is Late,” “Even Bravest Heart.” One of the most beautiful num bers of the' wonderful program was the Waltz Song, by the chorus.
