day brides are taking the same atti

Commodore Vanderbilt, one of our
first milllonaires, long ago. You don’t
k\now what that was? Well, if you
want to vote, you should be up on all
public questions.
Aurelia Speer was the second unex
pected bride in the midst of our
Christmas week, her marriage to Paul
Howe Collyer, of Newark, N. J, hav
ing been broken to us by an an
nouncement from Mr, and Mrs. Speer
Thursday morning. Aurella was to
have been married in February, and
!m everyone knew, but the Christmas
| visit was made, and, presto! the wed
ding came to pass. However, the res
idence of the bride was used for the
ceremony in the regulation way, and
all the family attended, if no outsid
ers were allowed,
I understand that the plans for a
hollday wedding had been made sev
eral weeks ago, but it was decided to
}lot the public announcement stand.
This charming bride, who also has left
us to our fate, is a sister of Mrs. Wil
’Ham R. Huntley, of Buffalo, and she
s already well known to Eastern so
’cloty. in the midst of which she will
‘make her future home. l

¥riday night, and would have
drawn the prize had luck been with

frock of pink tulle, with its sprays of
peach blossoms, was Just too sweet for
anything, and, of course, the judges
“fell for it,” all right. So bewildered
were they over the candidates for the
most charming costume that the old

and “Polly” lost the gold pencil!
- Now, Mrs. Winship Nunnally, who
drew the first prize, was deserving of
the gold pencil, too—so there should
have been two, at least. And I here

Club that I think they should get busy
and buy another pencil, even if it is
the first of the month after Christ

are demanded by honor!
Mrs. Nunnally's costume, by the
WAY, was certainly original-—a bird

of the moment. Another young wom

fair for having been seen at the home

indeed, her sanction to his being in

Her bow was an acknowledgment
of his having done the proper thing

In this latter class was the lunch
eun party entertained a few days ago
by Mrs. Turner Carson, ‘“Louise” is a
bride of a few weeks' standing, as
you all know, and the only member of
her little club of fourteen former
“Seminary” giris who has a home of
her own. 8o when the other girls
were all in the city from school and
elsewhere for the holidays the lunch
eon was given, and the assemblage
included young women who formed a
“bridge club” when they were 12-
vear-old schoolgirls,
The little club met a long time to
play bridge, but, like all the others,
finally fell before the lure of the dance,
and the luncheon was the first re
union in some time. The amusement
of the affalr was found _in looking
over the bride's pretty home, her wed
ding gifts of silver and cut glass, and
so forth, and herself as the first
“Mrs.” among the number, which still
includes several “schoolgirls”—Faith
Johnson, who attends National Park
Seminary, in Washington, and Fran
ces Winship, at Mt. Vernon; Ruth

HE epidemic for runaway or sud-
T den marriages has not struck
out-of-town girls l'ke it has the
Atlanta young women this week so we
still have a number of “interesting
engagements” on our list of an
nouncements,
Notable in this list is the news thht
Dr. Harold McDuffie is to marry a
girl from the East, instead of follow
ing the example of his “big brother,
Phil,” who came down here, saw the
Atlanta g'rls and was promptly con
quered by one of the preticst of them
all. Anyway, It will be of pleasant
interest to all of you 1| am
sure, to know that Dr. McDufMe is
going to be married soon and will
bring & lovely young woman from
New Jursey to swell the list of At
lanta’s young married women, already
A most conspicuously charming con«
tingent. Since coming to Atlanta Dr.
MecDuffMe has made many friends who
will give his bride a warm welcome.
Although making a Christmas visit
to see her, Dr. McDuffie will not emu
late the examples of those hasty
young men who came down here last
week and would not go back without
their brides. At least. | suppose he
will not, for the announcement reads
that “the wedding will take place in
llho late spring ™
The bride-elect Is Miss Hattle Lou
ise Ferguson, of Asbury Park, which
is the old home of Dr. McDuffle. I
suspect the romance is one of longer
standing than his residence in At
lanta, which perhaps accounts for the
tact that although several of Atlan
ta's pretiest girls tried in vain to—
but that will be about all to-day.
- . ‘
66 IME men fall for Atlanta girls,
P just like the rest of them.”
The remark was made by a
Roman at that, and the rest of the
story—also the Roman version—fol
lows:
“Not long ago one of Rome's most
popular young women invited six
home girls to be her guests for the
week-end. So, accordingly, she told
a few of her best boy friends she
was to have s!x “visitors” from At
lanta and invited them to call. Well,
elx Atlanta visitors at one time and
place spread like wild fire in Rome.
and the hostess says her phone rang
continually all day Friday, because
of countless Rome men who begged
dates with the Atlanta girls, Then
another called up and told her of in
teresting plans for the evening. They
(the men) had secured an orchestra
and were going to give a dance at
the Country Club that night in honor
of the visitors. I am told every man
in Rome called that night at her
home, and what could they do? When
they discovered them to be home
friends, they professed to be most
agreeably surprised (?) and the dance
went on, just the same. The Rome
girls got the rush of their lives, too!"™

plimentary anecdote for Atlanta girls
to enjoy? And I have the word of
the narrator that it is truthful in
every particular. Besides, at least
one Atlanta girl really did attena the
party and if asked, I suspect she
would vouch for the story. Josephine
Smith, a young girl well known in the
“college set,” was visiting in Rome
at the time, and though she was not
one of the six honor guests mentioned,
she was the only bona fide "Atlanta
girl” in the assemblage and soon found
herself appointed to the position of
;honor guest, not at all to her A4ls
