RED CROSS SEALS.

A copy of last Sundays San An
tonic Express CHANGED to come to
town a few days ago and proved of
decided interest to the few who saw
it.
One of the society pages had a
standing picture of the youthful
wife of General Funston and a full
face of Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee who will
be remembered as Mrs. Harry Cole
a daughterin-law of Mrs. II. G..
Cole, with whom she spent zone
summer during the life of her hus-
band, Major Harry Cole and whom
she has visited several times since
with her uncle, Senator Fletcher,
and her little son.
These two handsome leaders of
society at Fort Sam Houston took
part in society vaudeville and
tableaux wants on Tuesday even
ing at big theater in San Antonio
for a red cross seals benefit. They
posed in the tableaux and were
leading spirits in the generous
scneme for helping a good cause.
Capt. Fitzhugh was one of the
usners. He is a grand nephew of
Gen. Robert f. Lee and is therefore
obligated to the fine looking and
every inch a soldier.
When all these cruel wars and
uncomfortable watchings of bor-
ders come to an end we hope Capt.
and Mrs. Lee and little Harry Cole
will come on a visit to Mari eta.

Last Sundays Atlanta Journal
had a picture of Mrs. Lex Irwin in
her bridal robe and veil and also a
picture of Mrs. Charles Stewart Col
ley who was Miss Mary Dudley
Fort. Her wedding was a beauti-
full event on Thursday evening in
the First Baptist Church of Ameri-
Gus, with brilliant home reception
following. There were four brides
maids besides the maid and matron
of honor. All the groomsmen were
from distant cities and included Mr..
Guy Northcutt, of Marietta who
heartily enjoyed the festivities. The
brides maids wore corsages of white
roses and valley lilies and carried
white tulle muffs and with such
finishing touches must have been
quite bride-like regardless of the
color in which they were ROBBED.
