Harriet Broyles was married on that

the way to Marietta or Decatur-—-one

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, Aurelia was to
bave heen married in February, and
80 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, ilf no outsid
ers were allowed.
I understand that the plans for a
holiday wedding had been made sev
eral weeks ago, but it was decided to
let the public announcement stand.
This charming bride, who also has left
us to our fate, is a sister of Mra, Wil

is already well known to Eastern so

was quite proud of my counterpart—

In this latter class was the lunch

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” girls who has a home of

were all in the city from school and
elsewhere for the holidays the lunch

included young women who formed a

year-old schoolgirls. }
The little club met a long time toj
play bridge, but, like all the others,
finally fell before the lure of the dance, ‘
and the luncheon was thg first re

HE epidemic for runaway or sud-
T den marriages has not struck
out-of-town girls like 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 st is the news that
Dr. Harold McDuffle 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 girls and was promptly con
quered by one of the pretiest of them
all. Anyway, it will be of pleasant
interest to all of you, I am
sure, to know that Dr. McDuffie Is
going to be married soon and will
bring a Yovely : young womarn, from
NBw Jersey to swell the list of At
lanta’s young married women, already
A most conspicuously charming con
tingent. Since coming to Atlanta Dr.
McDuffie has made many friends who
will give his bride & warm welcome.
Although making a Christmas visit
to see her, Dr. McDufMle will not emu
iate the examples of those hasty
young men who came down here last
week and would not go back without
thelr brides. At least. T suppose he
will not, for the announcement reads
that “the wedding will take place In
the late spring
The bride-elect ia Miss Hattle Lou
ise Ferguson, of Asbury Park, which
is the old home of Dr. McDuffie. I
suspect the romance is one of longer
standing than his residence in At
lanta, which perhaps accounts for the
fact that although several of Atlan
‘ta’s pretiest girls tried in vain to—
but that will be about all to-day.
. - -
¢ IME men fall for Atlanta giris,
I.? 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: v
“Not long ago one of Rome's most
popular voung women invited six
home girls to be her guests for ;he
week-end. 80, accordingly, she told
a few of her best boy friends she
was to have six “visitors” from At
lanta and invited them to call. Well,
six Atlanta visitors at one time and
’place spread like wild fire in Rome,
’and the hogtess says her phone rang
continually all day Friday, because
}of countless Rome men who begged
}da!es with the Atlanta girls, Then
‘another called up and told her of in
jtereatiug 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. lam 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 (7) 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 attenda 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
