Former Atlanta Girl,
Now Bride of Aviator.
Stops His Flying Game
Lieutenant Ellyson, Navy Aero
naut, Accepts Edict of Helen
Mildred Glenn.

RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 23.-Lieuten-
ant Theodore G.. Ellyson, in charge Of
the navy aviation station at Annapolis,
will have to quit flying and come down
to the more material things of earth
and water. Such is the edict of his
bride, who was Miss Helen Mildred
Glenn, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs John
Thomas Glenn. formerly OF Atlanta
now Of New York, whom he married
in Washington Friday of last week.
1t develops that Miss Glenn impaired
the substance of this edict to one of the
guests at the Crenshaw- Robins we'd
ding in, this city several weeks ago. On
that occasion she was one of the
bridesmaids, while Lieutenant Ellyson
inquired in the role of a groomsman.
Although the two were practically
inseparable at the reception, following
the ceremony at fashionable St Pauls
Episcopal church, there We're few who
guessed they were to be married so
soon themselves.
According to the law laid down by
the young aviator's bride, he must
echew the role of brdman within a
years time, or stand the consequences.
In fact, it is said that a promise to this
effect was exacted of him before Miss
Glenn agreed to become his bride.
Lieutenant Ellyson is a son of MI
and Mrs. H. Theodore Ellyson, of Rich
mond, and is a nephew of Lieutenant:
Governor j. Taylor Ellyson. Before
he was promoted to his present aerial
position he was regarded as an expert
and authority on submarine matters
and devoted most of his time to things
underneath the water.
