"The Winqs of Love-"


My love folds about you, dear, like
soft white wings,
And gently caresses, like murmur-
ing wind,
It troops with you sadly, when
tears 1t doth find,
And ah! how it scars with your heart
when 1t sings.
At dusk, with the shadows, those soft
wings are spread,
To guard and protect you, dear, all
the long night,
While the moon floods your dreams
with her golden light,
They hover so tenderly DER your
white bed.
Which verse, am sure, you will
join me in commencing. And there is
another sweet young metrical child of
the spring on my desk, which l must
mention. 1t comes from am ambi-
tious young man in Macon, who was
inspired to poetry by The Sunday
Americans story two weeks ago
about the results of the voting con-
test at Brenau College. For each of
the girls who won place in the con-
test, the prettiest, the cutest, the
neatest, and all that, he has a verse.
He calls them ''coquettes," and, indeed
they are coquettish. Here, for in
stance, are his lines to Miss Ruth
Rosser, the Atlanta girl whom her
schoolmates voted the prettiest and
best-dressed girl at Brenau:
Here's to her whose beauty is an as
set rated high,
A beauty that's expensive, and toe
precious far to buy:
Your heaven would be realized If her
love and beauty fine
Were given to your keeping, forever
to be thine.

The SHOWS and rain and shivery

n NE happy bride-elect was held
in terrible suspense last week
when the blizzard came. Her
fance left New York Sunday in plenty
of time to be here for dinners, lunch
cons, the rehearsal and, of course, the
wedding. Imagine the pretty young
girl waiting hour after hour for word
from him, until she heard that the
trains were all off schedule and were
snowbound without any signs Of re-
lief. For one whole day she thought
that the wedding might have to be
postponed. but a miracle happened
and he arrived here at o'clock on
the very evening Of the wedding. Now,
this bridegroom was Preston Wither-
spon and the bride Ruth Stallings
The best man, who was to have come
from New York, didn't get here at ALL
but that did not seriously inconven-
fence them. Another one was in
yited in his place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Witherspoon are now
In New York having a good time with
Mr.. Witherspoon's friends entertain

day they will sail for Europe and
will be away for several months.
