The Philadelphia North American of
Sunday contains photograph Of .
number Of beautiful young matrons
popular In New, York and Philadelphia
society--all OF them Southern women.
Among those represented are Mrs. w.

ard Day, who was Miss Selma Allen.
OF Atlanta; Mrs. William waldorf AS
tor. Jr., who was Misc Langhorne, OF
Virginia; Mrs. James Brown Potter. OF
Virginia, and others.
The American asserts that there 10 q
craze among Northern men to go South
for their brides, and ;attributes AZ o
possible reason for thts craze the fact
that recent novels have as their hero
ines Southern girls. II the six Best
Sellers" Of the season are portraying
such fascinating Southern girls that
bachelors from all ports OF the world
determine to choose brides from the
South. the outlook for the Southern
man becomes precarious.
Says The American of Mrs. Kouhtze
and Mrs. Day, both of whom have
many friends in Macon and Atlanta:
William de IAncey- Kountze. OF New
York, only surviving son of Luther
Kountze, the multi-milIionaire banker.
accounted himself very fortunate in
winning the hand and heart of Miss
Martha Johnston. of Macon. Ga. Miss
Johnston, too, perhaps was envied by
not few OF her girl friends,
"The beautiful Georgia girl was not a
stranger to the upper social circles Of
New York. Newport. and Palm Beach.
A cousin of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Ogden Goelet. she had been
launched upon her social career by
Mrs. Vanderbilt. and II was at the home
OF the latter that she met Mr.. Kount-
re. 1t is declared to have been q case
Of love at first sight.
AT the time of her marriage, Mrs
Kountze was generally regarded as a

life was not all given up to enjoying
the good things Of the world.
Tn Macon she was foremost in good
works. and many poor families there
had ample reason to look upon her

that he had known Miss Allen before
the chief executive met her. so that
the ardor OF love was not kindled In his
breast by thu latter's words of praise.
But Miss Allen was of type frequent

been a liberal reader.
"A description OF the incident in
which President Roosevelt and Miss
Allen figured had this comment to
make: Good locking women are nu-

to distinguish those among them who
excel their sisters in that respect.
