McC,rossin A large green basket of quaint design, filled with clusters of brides roses and asparagus ferns, rested on A centerpece embroidered in cosmos blossoms, whose yellow centers gave delicate suggestion of the color motive to be followed in the Hiden-Fowl we'd ding. From the chandelier, and caught to the corners of the table, were drap- cries of white tulle.
 A tiny basket filled with bon-bons and tied with white ribbons was the luncheon favor found at each place with the cards, which were hand-painted and tied with ribbons. At the brides plate was an oval card bearing the picture of bride and her name. The other luncheon cards were decorated with groomsmen pictures. On the cards were inscribed the names Of the hostess and her guests, Miss Matte Fowlkes Miss Hause Norvell, Miss vera Webb Miss Emily Morriss, Miss May Fox Miss Maybelle Cosby and Mrs. 5. P. Fowlkes.

LOCATION OF THE
 PEABODY COLLEGE

Nashville, October 14.-Chancellor Kirk land of Vanderbilt university, when ques- toned yesterday regarding the proposed location of the Pea body College for Teach CTS, said that the matter was in the hands of the recently elected board of trustees of the school, and they would determine the site. He also stated that Vanderbilt university had given no option on its campus, or any part thereof, for any purpose whatsoever.
 I may state, however," said Chancel- Tor Kirkland, that the executive com mttee looks with favor on the proposition of utilization; that it will do all in It's power to cooperate with the trustees of the George Peabody College for Teach ers..'
 The chancellor denied that any proposi- ton had been made to the secularizing of Vanderbilt as the condition of large gifts, and said that the proposed utilization with Peabody could not possibly alter in any way the relation of Vanderbilt to the Methodist church. He paid high tribute to the personnel of the board of the teach CTS college and said that each incumbent will do all in his power to promote the interests of Nashville and the south.

DOWN IN THE POWER PLANT
 OF THE HOTEL ST. REGIS
A Model Mechanical Equipment and
 Staff of Highly Trained Experts.

Many of the comforts of modern civil ization depend upon machinery. and this machinery must be efficient if these com forts are to be secured. The human clement enters largely into the calcu- Iation. for all mechanisms are prone to disarrangements unless skill and inteli- gence are exercised in their manipula- tion and control Aiming at the perfect hotel" the St. Regis hotel at Fifth ave nue and F'ifty-nfth street, New York, first installed the most perfect mechan- fcal appliances possible to obtain. and then proceeded to organize an efficient engineering staff. So successful has been the latter enterprise, and so admirable a system has been built up by the plan of individual instruction and premiums for efficiency, that the mechanical force of the St. Regis is already recognized as a model of it's kind. It's chief is a well-known engineering expert and the St. Regis power plant has been written up and illustrated in engineering papers The Hotel St. Regis restaurant charges are the same as other first-class hotels, and rooms may be had there as low as s and s4 a day for a large, handsomely furnished single bedroom; the same with private bath for $5 day Cor s6 for two people,; or $12 day and up for an ele- gant suite consisting of parlor, bedroom, and private bath.
