BY MYRTLE MILES

Miss Mary Campbell's breakfast yes terday in compliment to Miss Anna Dewitt Plunket was presided over with the usual grace of this lovely young hostess. Her guests included the CO., terie of young women who are to at- tend Miss Plunket at the altar tomor- row evening; their number was aug mented by Miss Mary Lou Wilson, an- other of tomorrow's brides, and Miss Margaret Terrell her bridesmaid. and Mrs Charles Bowman. Covers were laid for six at the big round table in Miss Campbell's dining room. A pretty con- ceit suggesting rising by candle light", such as Stevenson suggests in one of his dainty little poems. was the placing of the name cards. At each bridesmaids place was brass can dlestick holding lighted taper with the name card attached. A departure from this clever device, however, was the souvenir placed at the plate of each bride-an exquisite placque painted by Mrs Raulston, and presented by the hostess with an original verse of con- graduation and felicitation.
  oration of the table, but the grape, which Is so symbolic of autumn, and so gracefully decorative, made rich centerpiece. Clusters of pink grapes filled an immense basket and dropped over the sides. Adding to the rich beau ty of the table were the heavy silver candelabra which have lighted many a hospitality in the Campbell family during past years.
 Those in attendance at the break fast were Miss Plunket, Miss Kate owen of Charleston, Miss Lucy Dil- lard of Washington, Miss Bella Fargo of Augusta, Miss Edith Bowron, Miss Mary Lou Wilson, Miss Margaret Ter rell, Mrs. Charles Bowman, Mrs. Ma son Dillard and Miss Campbell.

LUNCHEON FOR

Mrs. George c.

 The lunch con was most informal. Be- cause of Mrs. Balls mourning she has accepted only Inequalities of this type. though her popularity makes her much in demand. As greeting to the vet eran newspaper woman of Birmingham this affair was an entirely fitting one, and Mrs. Balls charm as a raconteur was never more in evidence than when at Mrs. Johnston's prettily appointed table she was the center of attention. An interesting feature of the occasion was the souvenir card at each place. They were from the pen of MT.

Expenses Much Higher

First the higher cost of living caused us to see that our employees should have more money This was given them. Later materials went shooting up and we stood that. Now we have asked the interstate commerce commission to per init us to raise our rates just trifie in order to make little money. We have ever desired to have good railroad and those in America now are in good shape. We hope to keep them that way. But we must make some money in order to keep from borrowing.
 "We feel that the western railroads have an excellent case to present to the commission. We have only one thing to sell, and that is transportation. We have many channels through which we spend. So if it is fair and equitable to spend a great deal to keep pace with growing demands 1t is right for us to get more money Railroad transportation Is the only American commodity that has not increased in the past few years.
 "All this being true we think our case will have a fair show before the rail- road commission. They are men who are known to be fair and just. Their de- cisions are always based upon a thorough investigation of the facts and if this is done, as 1t surely will be- then we have no reason to fear. The railroads of the west, I believe, will come out on top this time and precedent will be set which will do more to settle the position of railroads in American commercial life than any event of the past decade"
