the hue of motherhood and bride-hood.
But the maids wore pale blue diaphan-
Gus stuff over silk, and bore rudy
American Beauties. Mr.. Young is to
be accounted fortunate. The happy
couple are honey-mooning somewhere
in Eden.
From Rome comes a greeting and
good wishes for The ECHO from two
of our own folks. Mrs. Lytton Thomas
and Miss Maude Powell, in their leis-
urly journeying through Europe, have
at last struck the Eternal City, or
rather we suspect from brief letter,
that Rome has struck them as the city
of all cities, with it's matchless tradi-
tions, beauty of nature and of art, just
as it does all other pilgrims. Mrs.
Thomas and Miss Powell have shown
much wisdom in their mode of sight
seeing. 1t is the only way to see Eu-
rope.
The various Confederate organiza-
tions throughout the entire land, cele-
brate annually the 10Th of January, the
birthday of General Robert E. Lee.
Some cities lin the South) make it
legal holiday, or half holiday. We would
be glad to see Knoxville thus honor
the memory of brave soldier and
Christian gentleman. The Knoxville
Chapter, United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, with the various Camps and
Bivouacs, will memorabilia Friday, the
10Th, by appropriate exercises in the
Woman's Building. These occasions are
informal, but always enjoyed by the
invited guests.
Tennessee women are proverbial for
being equal to any and all demands.
And Nashville women are proverbial
for holding their own, whether in per-
fecting an exposition, on down to learn
ing the game of whist. Which is
apropos of bit of good fortune that
has recently come to Mrs. little Kittie
Reno, whose novel, "Miss Breckin-
ridge" launched her successfully on
the literary sea, few seasons ago. A
new born magazine, in Chicago, which
made it's initial bow as the "Home
Monthly" a few months back, evil
IDENTIFY concluded there is something
in name, since it soon grew
tired or ashamed of it's own. A prize
of 800 was offered for the best
name proposed, and Mrs. Reno's choice,
"The New Century" became the choice
of the jury of awards.
The death of the young has ever Pc
culiar sadness for even the least think
ing. Youth seems symbolical of life
and hope and strength. To those who
knew. and loved Charlie Luttrell as q
brown-eyed, tender-hearted child, all
sunny sweetness and generosity; then
as brown-eyed lad, eager, generous, full
of sweet courtesy and kindly thought
for others, it seems hard to make him
dead" In the very prime of manhood,
strength became weakness, and One
who never errs began to make him
ready for that cline where there is no
decay, only perfect health and joy and
love among those made whole. And on
Thursday, Jan. 4th, 1900, at a. M,
when the day and the month, and the
year, and the century were in their
tender youth, his soul blossomed into
life.
We have before spoken of the power
full social factors which the Young
Mems Dancing organization has proven
in Knoxville. The debt of hospitality
they've laid on the social contingent, is
a heavy one. And now the Benedicts
and Beatrices-in other words, honor
airy members matrimony confers
the honorary degree-signified appre-
citation of the many courtesies received
from the Cotillion Club, by rendering
the active members an altogether ele-
CANT German Friday night in the Co.
tillion rooms. The color scheme, rose
and lavender was carried out in deep
tinted Bridemaid roses and violets,
bon-bons, candles and ribbons One
round of favors, or rather souvenirs Of
the delightful occasion, were pre-
sented. The men were the recipients
of Roman-gilt picture frames, (all ready
for cher" latest photo and Roman
gold stick-pins, cupids, horns and wish
bones, for the girls.
The Water Ways Convention was a
fine thing, and we believe it means
good for Knoxville. 1t wound up with
the best of allan evening spent in the
Woman's Building, which was the
scene of mans ideal entertainment.
Pretty hard on the other half, but true,
nevertheless for the men ''went it
