BY the announcement of the marriage
Thursday of Miss Mabel Glare Mills
of this city daughter of Mayor and Mrs
A. j. Mills, to Edmund w Chase, a well
known young business man, the Tattlers'
club loses its president and prime mover.
The organization was formed three years
ago by 20 of the leading society girls of
the city, who decided to play pedro all
alone and subsist without male attention.
Six of the members, however, have al
ready succumbed to the entanglements
of matrimony, and the others have made
merry at their expense. Miss Mills loss
will be hard blow, however, as the club
may now go to pieces. Miss Mills has
invited all the members of the club to
act as bridesmaids at the ceremony,
which will be one of the SWEETEST society
events in Kalamazoo for several years.
