 Dear Officer Dulfer-I thank you for sending your book of poems. I sup pose you composed them in your head as you trudged around on your lonely beat, probably somewhere on the out skirts of the city. Do you think you would be as .poetical if you had a beat down the Eastside somewhere with urchins at your heels all the time and the people about? Go right on writing your poems, for they seem to be good ones and are no doubt great solace to yOu.''

After the wedding they left for Denver, Col, to spend several weeks, and, returning, will be at home for a month with MT. and Mrs. Smith.
 The marriage. while very quiet, was singularly beautiful. The residence was exouisitely decorated. Smilax draped the door and window facings and was fes- tconed on the stairs. At the foot of the stairs an altar was erected, with col umns of mahogany on which stood clus- ters of annunciation lilies. Vases of thess snowy blossoms stood elsewhere in the rooms and in the dining room, where the guests gathered for breakfast, pink Killarney roses were used in profusion.
 Miss Pleasants Hobbs of Athens, Ala, attended Miss Smith as maid of honor, descending the stairs as the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin' was heard. She wore a filmy white lingerie gown and big white hat. Her flowers were enchantress car nations.
 Miss Smith entered with her father, who gave her in marriage, the Rev. Caw- thon A. Bowen administering the vows. She was particularly lovely a5 a bride, though wearing her travelling costume. a French blue broadcloth plainly tailored. Her hat was distinctly Parisian-a wide blue chapeau brightened with shaded blue and pink roses and finished with a touch of black lynx fur She carried superb bouquet of lilies of the valley. MT. Whit aker and his best man, MT. Charles Ter ", met her at the altar, where the beautiful ring service was pronounced.
 The interest of scores of friends is fin the union of this popular young couple. Mrs. Whitaker. as Miss Smith,, was one of the most admired girls in society. She was debutante of three seasons ago, and returned but recently from a years travel In Europe. MT. Whitaker holds a responsible position with the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, and in business and social circles alike is highly esteemed
