R>.’ 7V\ ] ~"I“ ’ : . Army Officers Find Brid es in Atlanta Society I , THE fact that Atlanta is head quarters for the Department of the Gulf, and the prox imity of the army post, Fort McPherson, to the city, is a mat ter of congratulation to the social world, the army set. recruited from the department and the post con stituting an interesting part of At lanta's society. The Atlanta girls, who become the wives of army offi cers and leave the city when duty calls their husbands to other posts, are the cause for the only regret experienced by the presence of the delightful army set. One of the prettiest and most popular of last season's debutante set will be lost to Atlanta society when Captain McKinley carries his bride, now Mis- Margaret Dis os way. to Fort Oglethorpe. Cap tain McKinley, while never sta tioned here, has been a visitor to his army friends in the city, and charming Miss Disosway. whose own particular friend in the army set here was Mrs. Emil Laurson, daughter of General Mills, the for mer commander of the Department of the Gulf, was among the many young girls who met the gallant voting army officer. Since Mrs. Laurson’s departure to Fort Ogle thorpe. Miss Disosway has fre quently visited there. The wed ding is the outcome of a romance thus begun. Miss Disosway will be married at the summer home of her parents, at Black Mountain, on September 18, invitations to which ceremony were issued this week. An Atlanta young woman who became the bride of an army offi cer. once stationed here, is Mrs. Roscoe Hearn, now visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Park Wood ward. Other members of this con tingent of former Atlanta girls, now the wives of Uncle Sam's army force, are Mrs. Jack Hayes, wife of Captain Haves, stationed at Fort Hamilton: Mrs. Pepper, formerly Miss Gentry, of Atlanta, and wife of Lieutenant Pepper: Mrs. William K. Riddle, wife of Lieutenant Riddle. Plan Wedding For Fall. The only news which causes a ripple of excitement in the social world at present, concerns the brides-to-be. Announcements are not numerous, but those made . have been vui; interesting'. Some of.tiie city's mo-i popular young women will be married this fall, and an undercurrent of anticipa tion runs below the dull calm of . present day life. There w.il be • many parties for the autumn bride, these to cause tile fr.-t signs of social awakening earlv in October. The debutantes are being counted upon to fuinis'n special interest in the early fall also, and ’.'.‘tile there ai:e not so many as last year, a number of pretty girls a"e to come out. taking the places made vacant by the girls* ho leave the tanks of the younger set to be come young matrons. No plans for debuts have been formulated, and many of the future debu tantes are still out of the city. I though every day brings back some of the summer wanderers. The clubs are becoming more in teresting with each week's assem blage of people who have been ab sent for weeks or months. Many have arrived this week, from the mountains, and Septembers first week finds the seashore resorts de serted. Return From Mountains. Miss Sarah Rawsqn, Miss Jen nie D.
