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. PROF. AND MRS. OSBORNE TO ENTERTAIN. A pleasant event of the week will be the evening reception at which Prof, and Mrs. S. L. Osborne will en tertain on Tuesday evening in compli ment to the directors of the Y. W. C. A. and Dr. Sevier’s Bible Class- of the Y. M. C. A. Guests are invited for eight-thirty o’clock. 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 :THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 15, 1914.

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.
