the care and guardianship of a nurse.

had died not long before that and
her parents were broken with grief.

Ten or twelve years ago Mr.. Sicklos
resigned from the marble business he
had established twenty years previ-

ana his wife devoted themselves to
their daughter, a beautiful young
woman of unusual accomplishments.
They idolized her; she fully recipro-
Gated their affection, and the little
family was ideally happy.
The death of Miss Sickles came as
terrible blow The mother never
fully rallied from the shock and was
UNDER the care Of a nurse until she
ended her life.
While his wife lived Mr.. Sickles de-
voted himself to her, Following her
death, he lost his final interest in life,
and for the last few years he had
made no secret Of the fact that his
own existence was burden

Relief Corps, at Delightful Tea,
Discusses the Observance of
Memorial Day.

Preparations for the observance of
Memorial Day. May &c. are being
made by the members of the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, an auxiliary to
the O. NJ. Mitchell Post, G. :. R.,
following a discussion of plans at a
colonial tea given by Mrs. Fred j,
White at the Tallulah Apartments.
In keeping with the custom Of the
organization, it was arranged to visit
the Federal Cemetery at Marietta on
Memorial Day and decorate with
flowers the graves of the Boys In
Blue" buried there.
All details of Mrs. Whites enter
tainment were carried out after the
manner Of colonial times. The hos
tess and her guests were atttred in
Martha Washington costumes Pa
triotic colors predominated in the
decoration, extending even to the re-
freshments.
The home was brilliant In red and
white. The dining room and parlors
were dressed with red and white car
nations and red roses, and the re-
freshments were served in these COL
ors. Old Glory, pictured on tiny rib
bons, added to the ettractiveness of
the ponbons and cakes.
A feature of the entertainment was
a guessing contest, in which the
guests were asked to name the Pres
Idents Of the United States in the
order of their service, from the Fa-
Their of His Country down to the in
cumbent OF the Presidential chair.
Afterwards, as the guests called out
the names of the Presidents, Mrs.
White read an okginal toast TO each.
Mrs. White was assisted in receiving
by Mrs. William Reams and Miss
Vera Hawk.
