! SOCIETY EVENTS
OF The WEEK
By BESSIE BAILEY COOK.


Halloween and fall weddings seem
to have divided the honors recently
while 1t no great distance the holiday
season with its many preparatory
weeks holds forth varied interests,
Thanksgiving always seems close at
hand when November Is really here
and Christmas follows hard on the
Puritan festival. The absolutely per
feet weather continues and even the
oldest inhabitant fails to recall a pre-.
vious autumn quite as pleasant as this,
1t Is hard to realize that 1t Is Novem-
Der when lawn sprinklers are still
numbered among the necessities of life
and flowers II flies continue to de-
light and annoy.
The nuptials of Laura Agnes Case
and Mr.. Earl A. H. Carter which were
celebrated Tuesday at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. c.
Let's, were characterized by a delight
full simplicity, although the wedding
was one of the prettiest which ever DC
CURED here. Green and white were
the tints selected for the occasion and
the arches were twined with smilaX,
the same graceful sprays encircling the
windows. The filmy draperies were
strewn with %feathery ferns and snowy
carnations were utilized for the cut
flower work. The ceremony was per-
g.u,.o -, naaa ArnDl1 ~ II nnIn ~
o'clock being the hour selected. Only
near relatives Of the couple were pres
ent, but the party was notable in h a
four generations in the family of the
groom were represented. There vera
no attendants. The bride was attired
in a tailored going away gown III
browns which was most becoming 10
her petite brunette lovliness. Her
flowers were American Beauty roses.
The wedding breakfast was daintily
served in courses, green and white pre-
dominating prettily in the viands and
accessories. The table was beautified
with smilax and bands of white rib
bon, the center being occupied by y
bouquet of spicy white carnations. The
dainty place cards were all in white
and green, tiny golden bells adding to
their loneliness. Mr.. and Mrs. Carter
departed for the east that afternoon
and are enjoying an extended honey
moon trip. They will be at home at
ter December list at the Chaplin-West-
veer fiat, which is being beautifully

One of the pretties parties of the
season was the dance and reception
given by the new Benedict club Wed
nesday evening. 1t was a Halloween
function, of course, and the programs
depicted a scene appropriate to the
night, containing also, in addition to
the list of dances, the roll of members,
the guests of the evening and other
matters of interest to all. The hope
was given in North Star hall, the re-
ception occurring later in the club
rooms in Collins block. The spacious
apartments, which have been elegantly
fitted up for the rest and amusement
of the members, were cleyerly deco
rated for the special occasion, every
thing being in keeping with the season.
The gymnasium was transformed into
a sylvan bower, rustic furniture being
placed on a carpet of gay leaves, while
the walls were concealed with foliage.
The sitting roo or reception hall is
handsomely furnished in mission style.
and it was also deliberately decorated,
the lights being shaded with cunning
jack-olanterns. Pumpkins glistened
amid the leaves and great pyramids
of glowing grapes and apples delighted
the eye, while the air was fragrant
with the aroma of pop corn n nuts
The young hosts served refreshments
themselves and the fruit, nuts and corn
were supplemented by sandwiches, sal
ads and pumpkin pie, while cider
ouenched the thirst. Quaint little jack
olantern candlesticks made most ac-
ceptable souvenirs. The Benedicss
have received many compliments on
the marked success of their first party
