The air has been filed lately with ru-
nors of engagements and approaching
weddings. Five of Savannah's most at
tractive girls will have been married dur
ing the winter; two weddings are planned
for April, and we can not tell what an
nouncements the spring will bring forth.
1t Is whispered that one of the seasons
debutantes will soon reveal the name OF
her iance; but rumor cannot always be
trusted, as was proved a few days since,
when it went so far as to furnish a young
lady with trousseau and bridesmaids, and
caused her to be congratulated mistaken
ly by dozens of friends. Last Thursday
saw the beautiful, though quiet, wedding
of Mr.. Dunwody and Miss Scotia Walter
who, contrary to precedent, looked her
best as a bride, and made a radiant pic
ture when she threw back her veil after
the ceremony. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunwody
are now enjoying an ideal honeymoon in
Florida, and later will go TO the West
Indies.
