riages of the season, one that viii
unite two Of the most popular young
people in Atlanta, will take place
Thursday evening. The bride Is no
other than Miss Nancy. Prince, whom
you have been reading about for the
last few weeks. Every time you pick
up the society sheet you see where
she has been honor guest at another
swell party And the bridegroom

The wedding Is going to be rather
a quiet one at the home of the brides
uncle, Robert Donnelly. in West End,
and a pretty group of girls will at
tend the bride, including Miss Mar
tina Burke, of Macon, who has been
a frequent visitor in Atlanta since
she made her debut last winter
We are eagerly awaiting other an

concerns the dinner dances at the
Driving Club. Can't you dear peo-
pie, for the love of humanity, find
your places at dinner some time
around the proper hour, half past
seven? I've been watching now for
several weeks, and I've seen how the
diners and the dancers come in later
and later each time, and how 1t is
