is so full of pride this week,
~ and OF egotism, and of satisfac-
ion. and of delight? It's because
Atlanta society is going to take part
n the White House wedding. Pretty
title Marjorie Brown Is to be At
anita society's acting representative
as one of Jessie Wilson's bridesmaids,
and nowhere could a more satisfac-
tory representative have been found
Marjorie is awfully pretty, and South
n-looking, too, although she is not
altogether Southern in her ancestry
Mrs. Brown being a native of Ohio
However. Mrs. Brown has all the
charm and unassuming poise charac-
-eristic of the aristocracy of the
South, and she has lived here 80 long
and has become SO closely affiliated
with the South and Atlanta that we
all forget. unless reminded of the fact,
that she wasn't born here. Anyway,
Marjorie was, l think. And she is not
only Southern, but closely related
through her father to President Will
cons young daughters, with whom she
has always been intimate, 1t IS a
city that Marjorie has been chosen
out of the great number Of girls who
might reasonably expect to take part
in the most important social event OF
the year, the marriage of daughter
Of the President. Marjorie is in great
demand just now as bridesmaid. she
IS to be one of Sarah Rawson'S maids
at her marriage to Marion Hoke
Smith on the 18th, and while here, l
believe I've told you, she is to be the
guest Of her intimate friend, Passie
May Ottley.
HEARD a prominent business
man, whom no one would sus-

larry veXed tone that he was going
TO quit reading Polly Peachtree's
chatter, because he found himself
worrying all day over the identity of
the people who figure in her stories.
For the benefit of this man. and
others like him, will make the story
which follows an easy guess by say
ing that 1t concerns a charming
ycEHg womSE who was married the
past week. and who has been known
for a number of years as Atlanta
society's most daring practical joker.
The day before the wedding, a num-
Der of her friends called a secret
meeting for the purpose of determin-
ing on a plan of action for a great
practical joke on this girl who had
so often played jokes on themselves.
Realizing that rice, old slippers and
old shoes fell far short of their as
pirations. they were jubilant when
they ascertained that the wedding
ring, contrary to custom, was in the
brides keeping. 1t was the work of
a moment on the part Of an Intimate
friend who came and went into the
brides home without comment to
secure the ring from its box, and to
hide it in a unique place among the
