Club Dinner Event of Last Week
The largest Society affair of the
month was the dinner given at the
Golf Club on the evening of Thanks
giving day, at which covers were laid
for one hundred.
The Club was elaborately decorat
ed with many of the fruits of our
bountiful harvest, and symbols of
Thanksgiving day. In the living
room a frieze of Indian corn was
over the mantel, on which stool three
big pumpkins with turnips, carrots,
salsify and green and red bell-peppers
piled between. The piano was simi
jariy decorated. In the corners of
the rooms were tall stalks of green
and purple sugar cane, with vegetab
les and fruits heaped on the floor
around them. Strings of red pepper
garlanded the chandeliers; and dark
green English ivy made an effective
back ground. Artistic baskets of
golden oranges, crimson avoples, pink
and pale green grapes, and deep yel
low Japanese persimmons were the
centerpieces for the tables.
After the delicious regulation
Thanksgiving dinner, the guests en
joyed a number of songs, beautifully
yendered by the six ‘“Jubilee Sing
ers” of the colored Methodist Church.
A happy feature of the evening
was the delivery of the trophies won
in the three recent Golf tournaments.
Dr. Rembert Smith presented the tro
phies, which were as follows:
The Ladies’ Tournament, the Dan
jell’s cup, Mrs. W. A. DuPre.
Second Ladies’ Tournament, the
Hopkins’ trophy, a handsome silver
sandwich tray, Mrs. W. A. DuPre.
Men’s Tournament, the Club lov
ing-cup, Mr. Frank McNeel.
Other prizes won were sets of balls
by Messrs. Henry Wyatt, Sr., Joe
Wyatt, W. C. Carriker. The turkey
for the Thanksgiving tournament was
won by Mr. Morgan McNeel. A big
stick of peppermint candy was won
by Mr. John Boston, just for being
“the best ever”! :
The committee in charge of this
delightful affair consisted of Mrs. T.
A. Gramling, chairman, Mrs. Len
Baldwin, Mrs. Mollie Martin, Mrs.
Ralph Northcutt, Mrs. John Boston,
Mrs. Campbell Wallace, Jr., Mrs. D.
C. Cole and Miss Lula McMichael.

Football Squad Dined by Professors |
_Dr. Kinnamon, principal of the
high school, and Professor Bray ten-‘
dered a delightful dinner to the foot
ball squad on Tuesday evening, at |
the Marietta Golf Club. ‘
Covers were laid for twenty at a;
great square table on which the deco
rations carried cut in every detail the’
high school colors of green and white. |
‘White tapers in crystal candle-!
sticks wore fluffy green pompons, thei
crystal chandelier in the center bore|
green candles; the lace centerpiece,
and mate were over green; and the|
two big Jack Horner pies werel
wreathed in white morning-glories
with their green leaves. A grandi
turkey-dinner, with all the accom-|
paniments was served to the very ap
preciative guests. Then the very)
cute favors, with clever little verses]
attached, were drawn from the big|
‘“pies” by the guests. Dr. Kinnamon’s |
card said: l
“Mr. Kinnamon is the idol of Mari
etta High School,
He's lwhat the boys call a regular fel
ow.
His hair may be red,
But whatever else is said—
There’s nothing about him that’s yel
low.” '
Professor Brays card read: ‘
“Mr. Bray’s a tall man, but it comes
in pretty handy; |
In playing basketball he can throw
a goal handy.
He’s a grand guard, too, but he’s
better at the basket— |
If you expect to guard him, go or
der your casket!” 1
Wallace Montgomery, Captain of
the team: |
“Wallace, I'll admit, is a pretty good
player, |
And (when in Rome) he’s also a pret-l
ty good stayer ‘
But at making touchdown he’s simp
ly fine— \
Specially when Louyse is on the side}
; line.” ‘
Lee Sessions: |
“At half-back Lee is simply fine, |
He never fails to buck the line, |
He carries the ball like the players at
Tech,
And if you will notice you'll find I'm
correct.” ’
Louis Hibble:
“Louis, the center, is rather small,
But no one passes him without a fall,
For if they are too big for him to
hold -
He scares them so they just can’t
make a goal.
And so on!
~ The feature of the occasion was
the presentation of the big green M
‘to the boys who had made the team.
' These lucky ones were Wallace Mont
\gomery, Mongin Brumby, Candler
‘Canmpbell, Bill Shippen, Eugene Dun
can, Lee Sessions, Jean Lewis, Doug.
McNeel, Clayton Sewell, S. A. Con
nor, Clarence Worley and Louis
Hibble. Others present were Mr. T.
J. Galley, Mr. Morgan McNeel, Joe
Marchman, Freddie Clarke, Earl
Summerour, and Herbert Brown.
Those having the lovely affair in
charge were Mrs. George Montgom
ery, Mrs. Kinnamon, Mrs. Tom Read,
Msr. Emma DuPre, and Mrs. Glenn
Marchman, with Misses Emmie Mont

Celebrate Crystal Wedding
One of the most beautiful affairs
ever given in Marietta was the din
ner given on Monday evening by Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph Northcutt, in cele
bration of their crystal wedding an
niversary.
Coluer de rose was used through
out the elaborate decorations. The
centerpiece for the lovely table was
a plateau of Enchantress Carnations,
and maiden hair ferns. The chande
lier above was shaded in pink tulle;
from this was suspended a large pink
wedding bell, and from the center of
this white satin ribbons, showered
with valley lilies, were drawn to each
place. Pink-shaded candles in silver
sticks were at each corner; pink
mints and salted almonds were in the
tall silver compotes; and the delect
able iced drink in the tall glass at
each place was also pink.
The favors were little white satin
suitcases for the men, and white satin
hearts for the ladies, each tied with
valley lilies. The place-cards were
painted in charming little bridal
couples. On the table, also was an
adorable Kewpie bridal, the groom
resplendent in a “swallow-tail”’ and
thgl bride smiling under a snowy tulle
veil.
Mr. and Mrs. Northcutt were warm
ly congratulated on reaching the fif
teenth milestone of their wedded
life, and they were presented with
a set of five handsome crystal vases.
The guests were Mr. and Mrs.
Campbell Wallace, Jr.,, Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Sams, Mr. and Mrs. Alban Gil
bert, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Northcutt,
Mr. and Mrs. George Montgomery,
Mrs. Emma DuPre and Mr. Bayard
Mclntosh. Little Miss Jane North
cutt was also the guest of her pa
rents at this, her first evening en
tertainment; and she was lovely in a
dainty frock of pink embroidered
chiffon.

“THE FATHERLAND"” |
A number of German prisoners}
confined at Fort McPherson are re-‘
ported to have expressed a desire to
stay in this country and become citi
zens after they have been released.
Whether the Government will al
low their request is a question to be
esriously considered by the proper
authorities, but their desire to stay
in the United States instead of going
back to Germany affords an inter-

- These men were lately in the ser
vice of the German army and navy,
ready to die for their country on
land or sea, ready to undertake the
most perilous and diabolical enter
prises of espionage and treachery for
the glory of their Kaiser.
But now the ‘‘Fatherland” is not
so attractive and not so dear. In
stead of being anxious to go back to
it and help build it up, purged of its
tyranny and autocratic institutions,
they would rather stay here and en
joy our prosperity and freedom.
The thing they loved was not the

affections. It was a mad infatuation
for military prestige. This great
structure built up through forty years
of toil and privation by the masses
of the German people is now des
troyed, and with it will go the sup
posed “patriotism” of many a Ger
man who thought love of country was
in his heart, but finds himself today
a sadly disillusioned worshiper of a
glittering image and a corrupt ideal.
Our Government will certainly al
low no German prisoner to establish
his permanent domicile in this coun
try without the most binding guar
antees of new allegiance and genuine
loyalty.—Atlanta Journal.
