REESE-SHELLMAN.
The marriage of Miss Agnes Reese,
daughter of Bishop and Mrs. Reese,
of Savannah, and Mr. W. F. Shell
man, is an event of cordial interest
to friends throughout Georgia. Of
the marriage the Savannah Press
says:
Characterised by dignity and sim
plicity and surrounded with deep in
terest the marriage in Christ Church
Wednesday evening of Miss Agnes
Reese, youngest daughter of Bishop
and Mrs. F. F. Reese, to Mr. William
Feay Shellman, was one of more
than usual beauty. It was the anni
versary of Bishop and Mrs. Reese’s
wedding day, and this and the fact
that the ceremony last night was
performed by the bride’s father lent
an added and deeper solemnity to the
interesting occasion. White chrysan
themums filled the altar vases, and
clusters of them on the choir stalls
formed a flowered aisle from the foot
of the chancel steps, where the be
trothal service was read, to the altar,
where the marriage ceremony was
pronounced.
The young bride, who entered with
her brother-in-law, the Rev. H. D.
Phillips of LaGrange, by whom she
was given in marriage, was a picture
of girlish beauty in her wedding gown
of satin and lace, the soft tulle veil
worn over her face almost envelop
ing the graceful little figure. The
corsage of the gown was fashioned
of lace, in which was introduced a
delicate touch of silver, and the dou
ble satin tunic of the skirt opened
over a front panel of the lace, which
also formed a deep ruffle around the
bottom of the gown. A long square
train of white brocaded velvet caught
at the shoulders with rhinestone
buckles completed a costume of un
usual beauty and charm wonderfully
becoming to Its young wearer, who
carried a shower bouquet of lilies
and rosea
Miss Louise Reese, who was her
sister’s maid of honor, wore a charm
ing gown of accordion plaited chiffon
with tunic of shadow lace, tiny pink
rosebuds on the corsage forming the
only touch of color, which wgs re
peated in her beautiful bouquet of
deep tinted Klllarney roses. The two
bridesmaids, Miss Eleanor Cosens and
Miss Gertrude Grigham, wore gowns
of pale blue accordion plaited chiffon
in Die same style, with tunics of white
lace, and they carried, like the maid
of honor, big bouquets of pink roses.
The bride’s little niece and nephew,
Ella Parr Phillips and Frederick
Freyer, who as flower girl and page
Immediately preceded her, were lovely
little figures In blue and white, car
rying wicker baskets filled with pink
roses.
Mr. Shellman was attended by Mr.
Robert M. Aldrich as beet man. The
vroomsmen were Mr. George Mercer,
Jr., Mr. Frank Dana Mr. John Hay
and Mr. Charles Adams.
There was no reception after the
rerenatfajt, but Bishop and Mrs. Reese
entersLlned the wedding party infor
mally at their home on Bull Street.
The house was adorned with quanti
ties of white flowers, and Mr. and Mrs.
Shellman stood with Bishop and Mrs.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
... NEWS OF SOCIETY ...
Mr. Hubert Hawthorne, the marriage
to take place early in February.
Reese in the front drawing room to
receive congratulations. Mrs. Reese
wore a handsome gown of black tulle
over white charmeuse, the corsage,
which was of tulle over silver net,
embroidered in irredescent beads in
deep green and blue and silver. She
carried a bouquet of white roses.
Mrs. Graighill of Wytheville, Va., a
sister of the bride, wore a black lace
gown with a touch of gold on the
corsage, and Mrs. Phillips of La-
Grange, another sister, was gowned
in pale yellow charmeuse with tunic
of black chiffon.
At the bride’s table the decorations
were green and white, a big mound
of white rosebuds fringed with deli
cate maidenhair ferns forming the
centerpiece, and the ices and mints
and bonbons were in green. The
bride’s cake was iced with pale pink
roses and delicate sprays of lilies of
the valley. When it was cut, the
ring was drawn by Miss Louise Reese,
the thimble by Mr. George Mercer,
Jr., and the collar button by Mr.
Frank Dana.
Mr. and Mrs. Shellman left at mid
night for the North, the bride wear
ing a becoming suit of bottle green
broadcloth with a little hat of black
velvet. They will begin housekeeping
on their return at 21 East Anderson
Street.
The wedding last night was not
only marked by interest and promi
nence, but by a deep personal interest
on account of the sincere popularity
of both young people.

SOCIAL GOSSIP
Mrs. William Butt scored a de
lightful success with her dance
Friday evening at K. of P. Hall, the
affair that she gave to raise ad
ditional funds for the new Mary
"Warren Home. The dance had
been announced and kept before
the public for several days, all that
is necessary to assure the success
of any social affair in Augus
ta. The splendid dancing floor of
K of P Hall was’ in fine condition
and to the inspiring music of the
grapholoa dancing was enjoyed
till eleven o’clock when the young
men In attendance complimented
Mrs. Butt by having Bearden’s or
chestra in for the rest of the even
ing. It goes without saying that
the remainder of the dance was
even more enjoyable. Mrs. St. Ar
mand assisted Mrs. Butt In the
decoration: Mrs. Louise Dugas and
Miss Marie Allen were In charge of
the door and check room; Mrs.
McGowan had charge of the Jap
anese booth, where favors were
sold; Mrs. Tom Barrett had the
candy booth in charge and Mrs
C. D. Perkins had the flower
booth Miss Dorothy and Elizabeth
Dorr and Miss Gertrude Garretston
assisted, and Misses Annie Smith,
Allen and Frances Ferris were fas
cinating little Japanese maids who
floated about the hall attending to
the creature comforts of the
guests.
Miss Hill and Misses Julia Butt,
Erllne Perkins and Margaret
Montgomery were also very much
In evidence as pretty girls adding
to the pleasure of the evening.
This is probably the first dance
on record In Augusta when the
hostess was not present. Mrs.
Butt on account of her mourn
ing was not able to be there but
her friends proved their worth and
the occasion redounded to the fi
nancial credit of the cause for
which It was given.
Yesterday afternoon there was
a matinee dance for the children
given and a most gratifying result
along financial lines was obtained.
Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, of At
lanta, prominent in circles more
than one, has announced that she
thinks women should be permitted
to propose If they so desire. This
she made known at the recent
Good Roads convention. Mr*. Pe
ters says she thinks women could
make better choices of husbands
than men can of wives, a thing
which many Augusta women have
also found out. While probably
every up to date woman thinks a
woman should have a perfect right
to propose marriage to a man if
she is fond of him and thinks she
can make him a good wife, it will
probably be some time before the
woman who does so will have the
courage to acknowledge that she
did It, despite the fact that one of
Augusta’s happiest marriages was
the result of the woman taking the
ini ative.
Mrs P. A. Stovall and Miss
Pleasant Stovall are expected in
Augusta In a few days for a visit
with Mrs Joseph Ganahl. Mrs
and Miss Stovall arrived from
Berne, Switzerland, on Monday
of last week and spent a few day*
In New York before going to their
old home In Savannah. Ever since
the oportunlty was given them
Mrs and Ml*s Stovall have been
assisting Minister Stovall In look
ing after the comfort of stranded
American tourists, and later Miss
Stovall took up Red Cross work
with a view of becoming Identified
with the French army when her
father advised that this might be
construed a* a breach-of neutral
ity and that a diplomat's daughter
should void taking sides, so she

Mrs. Moses D. Wadley has given
funds to the American Seamen’s
Friend Society, No. 76 Wall street.
New York, for the purchase of a
library for seamen, in memory of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. This li
brary feature of the society’s ac
tivities among seamen is unique as
it is the only organization in the
world that places libraries on
board deep-water vessels for the
use of crew-s. It can readily be
Imagined what this means to these
sailor men to have forty or more
books for reading on long voyages,
and they show appreciation in
many ways. The books are care
fully selected by men who from
long experience and close touch with
seamen at the home and Institute
of the Society, No. 507 West street.
New- York, know what Is preferred
In the way of reading matter. Mrs.
Wadley’s library Is entered on the
society's records as “No. 11916, in
memory of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,”
and was placed on board the Hon
olulan, which recently sailed from
the port of New York for San
Francisco, Cal., via Panama Canal,
Capt. Greene and 65 men in the
crew.
Friends of Mr. nd Mrs. Harry
Robert of Macon will be interested

today. Although Mr. and Mrs.
Robert have made their home 1n
Macon since their marriage they
have always kept In touch with
Augusta friends by frequent visits
and their children have also made
many friends here. Miss Fanny
Robert is an especially lovable girl,
petite, dark eyed and most at

pretty affair of the early spring.
