TWO
Central Council Parent-Teacher
Associations Favors One Week in
Spring and One Week Christmas
At Meeting Monday Afternoon
Unanimously Passed Resolu
tion to Uphold Superintendent
Evans.
MR. EVANS PLAN BEEN
MISSTATED ALL ALONG
Question Will Come Before the
Board of Education Saturday
For Ratification Say Amounts
to Same.
%£• Mr a, a* proposed by Buperln
tendeot Ijiwtoii B. Evans, <>f the pub
lic school* of Augusts, and which, it is
believed, will he ordered put In ef
fect by the Board of Education at 11“
regular meeting Saturday, is that none
Of the holidays be taken away from
the school children, but, for the better
interests of the children, the teachers
ond all concerned, the usual two weeks
vacation at Christmas be spilt Into
one' week at Christmas anil one week
in May.
Mr. Evans’ Idea, which has not been
correctly given heretofore, from the
fact that he desired to wail and have
nothing to say until after the meeting
of the board Saturday, will be upheld
by the Parent-Teacher Associations of
Augusta, this action having been taken
Monday afternoon at a meeting with
Superintendent Evans of the central
council, composed of the presidents of
the respn live asosciatlons, all of whom
are mothers, not teachers.
Mrs. Owens’ Statement.
Mrs. S. B. Owens, chairman of tho
central council, stated to The Herald
Tuesday that a resolution to uphold
Mr. Evans In the Christmas holiday
question was unanimously passed at
the meeting Monday, and with this
statement Mrs. Owens explained the
matter as presented by Mr. Evans to
the mothers Monday afternoon.
The general Impression- -anil It has
been entirely u false one -is that the
schools would close for only one. week
Christmas, instead of two, as has been
the custom for a long lime, and that
the kiddles would lie deprived of one
whole week holiday.
The sentiment of the mothers them
selves sa expressed at tho meeting,
lx that it will be better for the children
to have a week in May, and only one
week Christmas in order to give tho
holiday period in the spring, when It
is most needed. It Is said,
Betore Board of Education.
Mr. Evens will present the matter to
tho Board of Education at Its meeting
Saturday and by the vote of the mem
bore of this body the length of the
holiday for Christmas will be settled.
• Contrary to the belief that has pre
vailed for some time, and which his
caused considerable discussion, both In
and out of the press, the school au
thorities are not unsupported In their
proposition to cut the Christmas vaca
tion. if it bo true that this 1" thoir in
tention.
Although the representatives or tns
Parlous parent-T#m’her Associations
from all of the public schools of the
city, favor the 6110-week idea Christ
mas anil week in May, still this
may not settle the discussion. There
are many parents and possibly all of
the children In school who would pre
fer to have the two weeks all at on*
time, as In the past, and not consider
the wrek In tho spring
Mr. Evans will give his reasons for
proposing tho spring holiday to the
board Saturday, at which time they
will be made public.

after the ceremony and congratulations
a delicious buffet luncheon was served
previous to the departure of the young
couple.
It would be impossible to Imagine a
more charming environment fur a wed
ding than was the Hally home, with Its
exquisite and artistic decorations.
Southern stnllax in graceful wax-like
garlands wore used as a frieze about
all the lower rooms, throughout the
hall, entwining the long bannister of
the stairway and ending on the upper
floor, where the bride's table was
spread. At the entrance end of the
rear parlor was banked a tropical
growth of palms that reached to the
telling and amid which could be caught
(ho scintillating gleam of cathedral
| candiue which with fur rungs gave
| the finishing touch to the Improvised
altar. The long, flower-like pendants
to the chandeliers were veiled In pink
poppies ami the soft roseate glow add
ed another touch of artistic beauty to
the pretty scene.
Miss Maggie Walsh presided at the
piano and entertained the guests with
varied selection* pending the hour of
the ceremony, while Mrs. Bowden's ex
quisite voire was heard In The Be
trothal Song Just previous to the en
trance of tiic bridal party, which was
announced with the wedding march.

flower girl, little Annie B. Hally, who,

over pink silk and carrying a basket
of pink roses and valley lilies, first

little Miss Marion Benson of Atlanta,
who was very lovely In delicate lace
over pink silk and who carried the
golden circlet in the heart of a fra

trance of the matron of honor, Mr.i.
Frank Benson of Atlanta, a sister of
the bride, who was very handsome in
a stunning three-piece suit of wistaria
crepe with a coat of mirror velvet
Her hat was a picture effect In black

and one large wistaria and gold rose.
Mrs. Benson carried an armful of pink
carnations.
The bride entered with her father,
and has never been lovelier than in
her wedding gown, a tailored suit of
wistaria chiffon broadcloth formed
with a double tunic skirt and a smart
coat finished with skunk fur. Her hat
was a becoming model in wistaria vel
vet with pink roses and pansies. Tho
finishing touch was given to this per
fect toilette by her flowers, a shower
of bride roses and valley lilies.
The groom, attended by his brother,
Mr. Julius Sandford of Atlanta, en
tered through the rear parlor and met
tlte bride at the altar, where she was
presented In marriage tthd where the
eeremony was Impressively performed
by Rev. R. H. Smith, during which the
soft, sweet melody of a piano accom
paniment ndded beauty to the simple
ceremony.
Immediately after the ceremony and

journed to the luncheon room on the
upper floor. Here also the same ar
tistic beauty that had marked the dec
orations of the lower floor prevailed

overlaid with satin damask was cov
ered with cluny lnce over pink satin
in the center of which was a high cut
glass vase filled with pink carnations
and ferns which reached almost to the
pink shaded chandelier above. The
bride’s huge cake was elaborately iced
In pink and white and the confections
and bonbons all carried out the pretty
pink tones. A delicious course lunci
en was beautifully served, otter which
Mr. and Mrs. Randford, atnld the most
