 The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday says in reference to the wedding:
 The social brilliance attendant for two weeks or more upon the marriage of Miss Louise Gay and MT. Sidney Stubbs of Savannah culminated last night in the wedding itself, which was an event of beauty and distinction.
 St. Luke Episcopal church, where the ceremony took place. at 8 o'clock, was crowded for the occasion with a gaily dressed assembly of the friends of both families.
 Many of the bridegroom's relatives and acquaintances from Savannah and else where added their number to that of the hundreds of Atlanta people inter- ested in the marriage, and the elaborate church decorations and the gay toilettes of the women who were guests made appropriate circumstances for the beau tiful bridal picture
 Within the chancel there was a rich setting for the ceremony scene in a profusion of palms and ferns, with pink roses and white hyacinths on the altar, while overhead festoons of smilax arched the church, and there was bright illumi- nation. The attendants entered by twos, the ushers being followed by brides- maids and groomsmen alternating in cou- ples, and the bride with her father be- ing preceded by the maid of honor, who entered alone. At the altar the party was attractively grouped. and the cere- mony was impressively performed by Bishop Nelson, assisted by MT. Wilmer, soft music of sentiment proceeding at the same time from the organ.
 The bride is the third daughter of Cap tain and Mrs. Edward S. Gay, beauti- full young woman, who, like her two elder sisters, Mrs. Inman Saunders and mTS. 1HOHldS uiiits hoS S'h siiCA . by her marriage her reign as pro- nounced debutante belle to be numbered among the handsomest young matrons in Georgia society.
