Bagwell, of the Bagwell Business College, in Atlanta, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Woods White, 32 Howard Street, Rev. Charles Daniels officiating. Miss Eckert, incidentally, demon strated the fact that, a woman—one woman, anyway—can kep a secret, if she makes up her mind, even though it Is a secret so sweetly delicious as her own wedding day and the name of the lucky man. Several weeks ago, when the rumor first went abroad that she was con templating matrimony, wily friends and associates undertook to get from her the name of her intended and the wedding date. Miss Eckert did not deny the soft impeachment within the rumor, but “some t me before the summer is over, perhaps,'* was a.I she would venture. She had heard, for one thing, that a conspiracy was on foot to make trouble for the daring male person who came a-wooing Miss Daisy with intent to take her away from the V. W. \ A. Maybe it was that and maybe .t was omcthing else. What ever it \ as. she kept it, and it only became known to-day. Mr and Mrs. White tendered Mr. nil ML Bagwell a delightful lunch eon after the wedding. Everybody wishes the bride—and j oh. well, the groom, too—long life and a deal of happiness.
