played as the bridal party entered.
The four ushers came first dressed

white asters and asparagus sprengeri

Watt, sister of the bride; Miss Edna

Next came the maid of honor Miss
Julia Watt sister of the bride. She
wore an exquisite dress of white crepe
de chine and chiffon and a large filmy
hat of pink. She carried an arm clus-
ter of pink Killarney roses and as
paragus sprengeri fern.
Just preceding the bride came the
little flower girl, Dixie Lazenby. She
was beautiful in a dress of white ac-
Gordon plated chiffon with pink rib
bons and pink shoes. She carried
gold basket of pink Killarney roses.
The bride entered with her father,
Mr.. W. H. Watt who gave her away.
She was unusually lovely in her trav-

chic black velvet hat trimmed with
pheasant feather. She carried an arm
cluster of brides roses and lilies of
the valley
The groom, attended by Mr.. J. B.
Gilbert as best man, met the bride at

make their home at Sylacauga, where
Mr.. Mathews holds responsible posi-

This marriage is of unusual interest
throughout the state owing to the
popularity of both parties. The bride
was educated at Judson college and is

The heroine of this episode is a
pretty girl who does not live in At
lanta, but who has figured so prom
inently in Atlanta society on frequent
visits to kinspeople and friends here
that we count her as zone of our
selves" She is to marry a prominent
young man of Birmingham whose
mother, charming social leader of
that city, had not met her sons fiancee.
SO, on motor trip to the Carolinas,
she and the bridegroom o-be planned
TO stop over for visit to the bride
elect and her family. The beautiful old
colonial home of the bride-elect. with
its wealth of handsome ancestral fur
nishings and treasures of silver and
cut glass and all things that go to
make up such a home, was put in gala
array for the visit. The pretty young
bride-to-be and her lovely mother,
aided most cheerfully by the old FAM
lily servants. who were as deeply In
terested in the approaching visit and
the wedding to-eome of their young
mistress as was she herself, had every
preparation made for a perfect hos
pitality. The dainty luncheon menu
was to be ready at Just such an hour;
the vases Were all filled with roses.
and, as final thought of hospitality,
the mother and daughter decided to
meet their guests a few miles from
town. They set out in their motor
over short cut, which would lead
them into the main road a half hour
before the incoming motor was due
The plain facts of the story are now
sufficiently thrilling, without the en-
Enlistment of words:
The motor broke down.
There was no telephone in a mile
of them.
The chauffeur could not fix the car.
And the two women were afraid to
be left alone in the lonely spot
No chance help arrived.
They waited.
In the meantime the fiance and his
mother arrived at the hospitable home, |
&c be welcomed by servants only.
They waited.
Along toward o'clock in the aft |
ernoon the fiance became the frantic |
leader of search party.
Result: A belated reunion and that |
wonderful luncheon, served at 5:42, |
by the OLD clock on the stairs.

Mentone and have not found a lack of
good times. Each week a delightful en-
tertainment of some kind has been en-
joyed, and last Thursday an interesting
climax was reached when a tackey party
was given at the Mentone Springs hotel.
One of the guests writes as follows:
THE grand tacky party drew a packed
house, standing room only. Costumes of
all shades of ridiculous nature prevailed.
Miss Gladys Willingham lead off as the
Summer Girl" followed by Miss Dorothy
Lum, the widow in her weeds" and her
black ''umbrell.' Others followed in quick
succession as they filed into the large din
ing room. Later came Miss Orr, one of
the summer residents of the neighbour
hood, as an old decrepit widow lady,"
walking with her long staff and wearing
her large, horn trimmed old framed glass.
Other costumes too many to mention and
too grotesque to describe soon filed all
space reserved for their use. Dancing
seemed to infect their feet, judging by
the way they tripped the light fantastic
toes to the music furnished by the band.
After firing of dancing for the present,
the director, Mr.. e. c. Kahn of Birming-
ham, blew his whistle, calling the crowd
to order, when he announced the Grand
March," which should pass before the
awarding committee. Fun was the order
during the march. Another blast Of the
whistle halted the line of march in front
of the judges stand, whence the following
prizes were awarded to the most appro-
pirate dress and actions of the contribu-
tors to the entertainment.
Miss Joclyn Orr took the ladies' prize,
consisting of bottle of "Hoyt's cologne"
Mr.. e. c. Kahn was awarded the gentle
mans prize of a plug of tobacco, The
tackles retired and discarded their dis
guses and returned to resume dancing
and general good time. Refreshments,
consisting of lemonade and ginger bread
and stick candy
