G PEAK1NG OF brides and weddings,
as we, who write of society,
find ourselves doing, now and
then, through June, am reminded
Of the achievement OF several June
brides Of more or less intimate ac-
quaintance In Atlanta. in finding
something new in the way of we'd
| dinEs, this season. There's pretty
Irene Nickerson, OF Athens, a frequent
visitor here, and girl who is gem
| orally admired and loved. She had
| planned an elaborate wedding with
bridesmaids and white satin and tulle
wells and lilies Of the valley and all
that, for wednesday evening.
At Z o'clock, Wednesday morning
Miss Nickerson and her flance, Cor
| don Hight, Of Rome, stole a march
on everybody concerned by marrying
quietly at home, and leaving at once
for motoring bridal trip. 1 do not
| know why the plans were changed
| but suppose the bridegroom decided
he didn't want to march to the Men
| delssohn tune, and make jolly show
| OF kimself-though he needn't have
worried, no one ever looks at any
| body bur the bride in wedding pro-
| cession.
Wen, anyway the young women
| gathered in Athens for the wedding
were presented with their souvenirs
from the bride-monogramm silver
| photo frames containing the pretty
| face Of the donor-and after the, first
/ IA Lei NY7FV Of hor
| rying boxes Of wedding cake to dream
over, and laughing at the joke on
| themselves.
Then there was little Edna Behre,
who went through a civil contract"
marriage with a young newspaper
man Kenneth MCGOWAN, Of st. Louis,
| in Cambridge, the other day. The
| bride is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Charles Behre, residents OF Atlanta
until about a year ago. She is one
Of several sisters, all talented and ar
tistic. Edna was a senior at Rad
cllffe, and her husband is a former
Harvard man. She is a dainty bit
Of femininlty, reserved and with the
artistic temperament and manner-the
| last person, you would ever think to
| harbor advanced views" But the
time has passed when the progress
| sives" in wOman's ranks look the
| part.
II takes a fragile "clinging vine"
| kind of a girl to be the most ardent
| suffragette / am very unsophistiCat-
ed in some things don't smile, please
and I am sure l do not know what
civil contract" marriage is. 1 Won
| der If il carries a divorce coupon,
or If it is more binding than the or
binary marriage. Prospective brides
| who are likewise lacking in knOwl-
| edge of this new stunt in matri-
mony might find something to their
| advantage by investigation. Atlanta
| brides so far have not departed from
! the regulation way of marriages, con-
! tenting themselves with slight varia-
| lions in wedding details, each from
the other-like the kind Of lace used
on their bridal toilettes, and in the
/ selection of a groom.
Nv THEN things social begin to
NJ droop, Atlanta can always
w count on the visitors, for never
are the homes of society without
house-guests a plenty. The early
summer brings many people here, for
II is the chosen time for the former
residents Of Atlanta to come back
home"
Girls who have married and gone
away, familier whom the eXigencies
Of business have caused to move to
other places, and guests who have
been here before, all come in the early
summer. The past week has wit
messed the return to Atlanta, after
an absence OF two years. Of Mrs. ".
W. Gray and her charming daughter
Agnes. They are guests of Mrs
Gray's mother, Mrs. Alexander Smith.
on Peachtree. and are being most
cordially welcomed.
When Agnes Gray was here last,
she was just a schoolgirl. but her
two years of absence from Atlanta
have been spent as a student at Le-
/ land Stanford University, and she re-
turns with honors from that insti-
tuition and the dignity Of young
wOmanhood.
Since she went away, her charm
ing young cousin, Miss Esther Smith,
has made her debut and has been ac-
cepted as one Of Atlanta society's
most popular young women. Mrs.
Gray was a former resident Of At
lanta and has many warm friends
here. There Will surely be parties
for each OF these visitors during their
stay.
