/ HEAR ST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA 3 H fid/ <$ 1iss Cloise Welker who makes her home with Mrs. Joseph McCord, her aunt, in Atlanta since her graduation from Wesleyan last year. Miss Walker is a talented musician, and a very pretty young woman. She will be a valuable acquisition to the younger set. dj By POLLY PEACHTREE. 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 > the extent that "young married set, ’ wM assume if it keeps on growing as in the past two or three years. I f a. uty ah—i tbwe are more <u A TABLE decorated to represent a part of old Rome was the unique adornment of the din ner party given last week as- a good bye affair to Mrs. Sehmidlatt, of Rome, Italy, by Mr. and Mrs. Wil- .. k- *' n / :>: ^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. • • * O NE of the pretty Informal parties of the week wn the tea at which Miss Helen Dargan en tertained in honor of her guest. Miss Ruth Wilson, of New York. The tea 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 ings, Marjorie Brown, Harriet Cal houn, Marion Achispn, Katherine El lis, Margaret Hawkins aAd Mrs. Ecn- ols of Virginia. * * • M ISS AGNES JONES, of Albany, who spent the past few days with Miss Nancy Prince, will be with Miss Mary Butler this week.

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 mented guest, and ten guests were invited to meet her at this party. * * * Miss Margaret ^IcPheeters, of Ra leigh, N. C., who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Samuel Inman, for some time, is being tendered a series of parties. She will remain several days with her sister. A pleasant event of Wednesday evening was the dinner at which Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Candler Dobbs en tertained at their home in Inman Park,sin compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Block, of New York. The table had an arrangement of pink roses as its centerpiece, and the candle sticks held pink shaded tapers. Mr. and Mrs. Dobbs’ guests were Mr. and Mrs. Paul Block, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hirsch, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Blosser, Mr. and Mrs. St. Elmo Massengale. + * * 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 Avenue. 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 ley. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Reeves left for a wedding trip East. For several months they will make their home in Chattanooga, returning to Atlanta in the fall. , * * * Mrs. Marie Graham, of Chicago, who was the guest of Mrs. Thomas B.
