T HE marriage of Helen Payne to
# Charles Hopkins. Jr., adds one
of the prettiest and most popu
lar girls of the city to the rapidly
growing ranks of young matrons. It
is a source of pleasure to all the ad
mirers of this young woman that she
chose an Atlanta man and will njt
be lost to the social circles in which
she and her older sister have been
bright, particular stars since their
debut. No prettier girls have ever
adorned Atlanta society than Laura
and Helen Payne.
Both are petite, blonde, and ex
tremely chic, wearing their exquisite
gowns with an individual grace which
Imparts some of their bewitching
personality to the charming French
creations in which they are always
garbed. The elder sister also married
an Atlanta man, Alexander Smith,
Jr., a few years ago, and I have heard
that a trio of handsome residences
will be erected side by side in the
beautiful Druid Hills section, for the
occupancy of the two young couples
and for their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Carroll Payne.
The newly married couple are
spending their honeymoon in the
mountains of Virginia, and upon their
return to Atlanta will be with Mr. and
Mrs. Payne, temporarily. ^lr. and
Mrs. Alex Smith, Jr., have recently
moved into an attractive place nn
Peachtree, where they will be for
some time.
* * *
THE Payne-Hopkins wedding was
the most interesting social event
of last week, and one of the most im
portant of the early spring series. The
guest list was limited, on account of
a recent illness of the bride, and ail :
pre-nuptial parties were omitted. The
details of the wedding, however, were i
as elaborate and as beautiful as if j
a large party had been invited.
The interior of the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Payne, on Peachtree, was
transformed into a floral bower. The*
artistic hangings and decorations of-I
each apartment accorded with the ■
scheme of decoration. The stairway
was covered with smilax and th#
landing banked in palms, great bas
kets of Easter lilies breaking the
monotony of the greenery, with long
white ribbons falling to the floor from
the newel posts. The reception apart
ment, a rose and gray room, was
adorned with American Beauty roses,
and the library, which was the scene
of the wedding was in Easter lilies
and palms with an arch of pink hy
drangeas above the altar. The din
ingroom Where the buffet supper was
served, was decorated in pink rose9
and valley lilies.
* * *
I am sure no prettier bride was
ever seen than Miss Payne, in her
simply fashioned toilette of white
charmeuse and chiffon, with the Ion",
crystal and lace trimmed court train
trailing behind her, and a rich veil
of lace falling back from h#r face,
which was framed In a Juliette cap
of the lace and orange blossoms. The
veil was an heirloom and her pea "Is
were also, each having been in the
bridal toilette of the bride’s grand
mother, mother and sister. Her bou
quet was of gardenias and lilies. The
matron of honor, Mrs. Alex Smith,
Jr., wore a fetching French toilette of
creamy net and lace over flesh colored
charmeuse, her arms full of sweet-
peas which reflected the flowered
chiffon sash in her pretty gown.
• * *
T HE guest list was limited, as T
have said, but every woman pres
ent, was beautifully costumed, adding
to the general beauty of the scene.
Mrs. Payne, the hostess of the even
ing, wore a Paris toilette of brocaded
charmeuse in palest pink, with dia
monds, and a corsage bouquet ot
Kiilarney roses, Mrs. Hopkins, the
groom’s mother, wore white and black
chiffon, with shadow lace corsage and
a floral adornment of lavender sweet
peas. Miss Nancy Hill Hopkins was
in pink charmeuse and pink brocaded
velvet, with a corsage of chiffon, and
she wore valley lilies as a corsage
bouquet.
Among the special friends of the
bride, at her table for the buffet sup
per after the ceremony, was Miss
Leone Ladson, gowned in French blue
chiffon, over flesh color, with Persian
chiffon sash. Miss Mary Atkinson
wore white chiffon and lace. Mrs.,
Frank Adair was a charmingly cos
tumed guest, wearing pale pink chif
fon and shadow lace over satin. Mrs.
J. L. Dickey, Jr., was in pink satin.
Sirs. R. J. Lowry wore gray brocaded
charmeuse and point lace, with a dia
mond necklace and corsage pin. Mrs.
Victor Smith was in blue charmeuse.
Mrs. Roy Collier wore flesh colored
satin and shadow lace. Mrs. Albert
Thornton was in white charmeuse
with corsage of lace and chiffon span
gled in green sequins. Mrs. Clarence
Haverty was in white brocaded char-
jneuse and lace.

A LTHOUGH June is yet far off,
over three weeks, that Is to say,
we have several brides with us, the
girls who were married in May hav
ing had their bridal tours and re
turned home to take their places as
"charming members of the young
married set." I am alarmed as t >

:>: ^w£§ls
pretty “married girls” in Atlanta than
any city of corresponding size in the
United States.
A stranger at some of the club
dances finds it utterly bewildering to
tell the married women from the girls
he meets in the breathing spaces be
tween turkey trots. Last week I
have noted the return of Mr. and
Mrs. John J. Woodside, Jr., from a
stay at French Lick and Tate Springs
where they spent their honeymoon.
They fare now with Mr. and Mrs. W.
T. Gentry, Mrs. Woodside having
been Miss Allene Gentry.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shelton (Nora
Belle Rosser) return on the 6th t:>
New York, thence to Jacksonville by
boat, with a short stopover at several
towns to visit relatives, en routs
home.
A cordial welcome to Atlanta
awaits Joseph Billups and his bride,
Miss Courtney Walthall Ross, one of
the most prominent women of Mem
phis. They are In New York where
they went after their marriage about
two weeks ago.
Frederick Paxon and his bride wi!l
be at home at a residence on Capi
tol Avenue, upon their return from a
month’s stay in New York.
One of the early spring brides was
lost to Atlanta, when Miss M. A. Phe
lan married Barry Wright, of Rome.
However, she is not far away, and
will make frequent visits home.
* * *
tT is the pride of Atlanta hostesses
that every visitor who comes here,
is sure to come again. The hospital
ity to the visitor keeps the social life
active at all seasons of the year. En
passant, I may say that many of our
young matrons were gained through
visits here and the welcome accorded
the visitor. Miss Ruth Wilson, of
New’ York, is a very charming young
woman in the city for whom many
of the week’s parties have been giv«
en. She is the guest of Miss Heidi
Dargan.
Miss Grace Jones, of Danville, Va.,
has been extensively entertained as
the guest of Mrs. Ervin Dickey, who
is a former Danville girl.
Miss Robyn Young is a Washing
ton belle who is spending some time
here, at the home of her aunt, Mrs.
W. C. Humphries. Miss Helen Barnes,
of Macon, is a lovely visitor, the
guest of Miss Margaret Northern.
Miss Lillian Hodgson, of Athens,
Miss Emily Groover, of Columbus,
Miss Lucile Landis, of Nashville,
Misses Rena and Nancy Clark, of
Tarbbro, N. C., and Miss Elizabeth
Winne, of Richmond, are.belles' from
other cities who are guests in Atlan
ta. and have been honored with so
cial attentions the past week.
* * *
M R. AND MRS. HARRY HAR
MAN, JR., are to join the East
Lake colony this summer, I have
heard. They will occupy the summer
home of Mr. and Mrs. Harmon, S".,
who plan td go abroad in June. Their
young daughter. Mildred, has been u
school in Berlin this year, and th ;*
will go there, afterward making a
stay at several foreign resorts before
returning home.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Witham are
going to close' up “Bide-a-Wee” for
the summer and the cordial “Wel
come, Drive in,” which is inscribed
over the arched eatew&y of the spa
cious park surrounding the Withain
country home will not be a prelude co
the gracious welcome of the cordial
hostess, who plans to be in England,
France and Germany through the
summer.
Mr. and Mrs. John J. Woodside
are getting ready to move out to their
new’ summer place on the Peachtree
Road. They expect to occupy che
bungalow this week. I have seen and
admired the charming place, set bac^v
from the street, with a law r n which is
destined to be most attractive as soon
as Mrs. Woodside has had it flxed ac
cording to her artistic taste.
• * *
TyriSS CORA M’CORD BROWN, the
^ Governor’s daughter, has been
keeping up Atlanta’s reputation for
athletics at Lucy Cobb. She has won
the cup offered by Miss Gerdine in
three tennis tournaments, the last of
which was played last week. Miss
Brown not only takes a leading part
in athletics, but is president of her
class, and one of its cleverest mem
bers. She is to graduate this sum
mer and I hear that soon after her
graduation she is to be bridesmaid at
a brilliant Augusta wedding. I sup
pose Miss Brown will be a debutante
next w inter. She has been very pop
ular with the younger set during her
life at the Executive Mansion.
Governor and Mrs. Brown will
spend the summer at their place in
Marietta.
Miss Emma Jordan, another “Lucy
Cobb” girl, has left school temporar
ily for a trip abroad. (That subject
will turn up again, in spite of my
best efforts.) Miss Jordan sailed Iasi
Saturday with her father, Harvie Jor
dan, who leads a party sent out by
the Government to investigate* agri
cultural conditions in Europe. On
account of her father’s official posi
tion, Miss Jordan will have Unusual
opportunity for interesting experi
ences* while in the Old World.
liam H. Conklin. Mrs. Sehmidlatt is
the mother of Mrs Conklin and re
turned to Rome this week after
spending the winter here.
The table at which the guests were
seated for dinner stood under a bow
er of roses, twined over a whit*
trellis, through which electric lighis
sparkled. A miniature lake, bordered
in ferns, from which a tiny fountain
arose, formed the centerpiece, sur
rounded by banks of trailing roses, on
which stood miniature representations
of Roman temples formed of Roman
marble. These w’ere given to the
guests as souvenirs after dinner.
The guests included Colonel and
Mrs. Robert J. Lowry, Mr. and Mrs.
Edward H. Ehney, Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert Adger Smythe, Mr. and Mrs. Alex
ander Smith and Mr and Mrs. Clark
Howell.

was given at the Piedmont Driving
Club, and the guests were seated at a
flower-laden table plaeed on the bal
cony at the rear of the ball room,
which overlooks Piedmont Park, with
its vista of trees and flowers.
Miss Dargan, whose gowns are ex
ceedingly modish, wore a smart toilet,
the skirt of old blue Canton crepe,
with a broad sash of black. A coat
of blue brocade completed the cos
tume, with a hat of black straw
adorned with French flowers.
Miss Wilson was charming in black
crepe meteor, with sash of black satin,
and her hat was adorned with bows of
blue ribbon and one large pink rose.
Invited to meet Miss Wilson were
Misses Constance Knowles, Annie Lee
McKenzie, Mary Helen Moody. Jennie
D. Harris, Sara Rawson, Ruth Stall

Liberty roses, arranged in a large
central basket gnd surrounded by
four smaller baskets of the same flow
ers, with red-shaded tapers, formed
the decorations at an elaborate lunch
eon given Wednesday by Mrs. Robert
J. Lowry at the Piedmont Driving
Club. Mrs. Kenneth Morton, of
Springfield, Mass., who is spending
some time in Atlanta with her broth
er, E. P. McBurney, was the compli

O N Wednesday afternoon Miss
Virginia Crane and Horace
Prince Reeves were married at
the home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. B. S. Crane, on Merritts

The house was attractively deco
rated with palms and ferns and white
snowballs. Smilax was festooned
about the chandeliers and over the
doorways.
The bride w’ore a becoming travel
ing suit of midnight blue Bedford
cord and a blouse of soft white crepe
with a hat of blue hemp to complete
her costume. She carried a bouquet
of bride’s roses and lilies of the val

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove*Easily.
Here’s a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a new remedy for freckles with
the guarantee of a reliable dealer
that it will not cost you a penny un
less it removes the freckles; while ,
if it does give you a clear complex
ion the expense Is trifling.
Simply get an ounce j)f othine—
double strength—from Jacobs’ Phar
macy and a few applications should
show you how easy it is to rid your- 1
self of the homely freckles and get 1
a beautiful complexion. Rarely is
more than one ounce needed for the
worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine, as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of 1
money back- if it fails to remove
freckles.
