two Of the socially prominent

rage Of Miss Laura Ansley and
fucker McCarty was made. the date
Tor the ceremony being set for No
Vember s. In to-day's announce
ments the same date is given for the
marriage of Miss Constance Knowles
and Jesse Draper.
However, the latter ceremony will
take place at high noon and the bril-
liant Ansley- MCCarty wedding and
reception is set for the evening of the
9Th, so there is really no conflict of
dates in the weddings.
The Knowles Draper wedding,
though quietly observed at the resi-
dence OF Mrs. Clarence Knowles. will
be Of widespread interest. The bride
to-be is famous beauty, and the
bridegroom Is one OF the most popu-
lar men Atlanta has ever produced.
He is a moving spirit in club and
social life. president of the Nine
O'Clock German Club and a very sue
cessful young business man.

NJ UMEROUS complaints have
IN been made by Atlanta host
esses concerning the neglect
in answering invitations. 1t APP
pears TO be Characteristic of this city
this negligence in letting the hos
tess know whether or not one is
going to the party.
I believe most Of the dinner invi-
tations are answered, but teas and
weddings and other large affairs are
practically Invertebrates In the
case of weddings one counts the
present which arrives a few days be-
fore the wedding as an answer. That
is a pretty sure way, to my mind, OF
counting the guests before they ar
rive.
Yet a prospective hostess at one Of
the brilliant autumn weddings has
EXPRESSED a desire to have the 1900
Invitations which she is to send out
answered promptly. AT any affair,
where the cook is concerned this
lady asserts, the answers to invita-
tions are imperative"
AT these brilliant weddings" which
Atlanta society enjoys each season
the food and drink is always most
generously supplied. | remember at
ono of last winters ceremonies the
groom assured me that six bottles OF
chamnagne were being saved for me
and | suppose that was the portion
allotted each woman guest, for l had
not made any special request
As for the men-I could not say
what their allotted portions were. AL
though I was unable to attend and
should have omitted the six bottles

Their affirmative or negative, could
have made no difference in the nos
pitable preparations for the enter
tainment of wedding guests. 1t has

ding invitations, but il all the people
Who are to entertain wedding guests

one 7 ouOte. the sending of a prompt
answer would be the gracious thing
TO do.
