 Saturday-This is the big day. And Cora and MT. Meyer have had the most wonderful time in the world. For they nave been honored almost every hour of the day all this week. and now the time mas come. l can hardly wait till this afternoon. I'm going to lunch at the southern club today, and I'm extremely happy over the prospect, for though I won't be with my B. B. B. I shall see him, and that is enough.
 Night, and it all is over +be 1,ah+s and the brilliance all gone, but the won urous glow of it, with me still.

I can't remember just What she wore, but she was stunning and not one bit nervous. Her flowers were lilies of the valley and Madonna lines In the most eXquis:ie.y arranged formal bouquet, and the wno.e scene was just perfect when Dr. Foster performed the ceremony
 Afterward you would have thought that something awful had broken loose. such
 noise of congratulations and comments
 and good wishes. Then supper was served and the guests chattereG and talked necessarily. The brides table was be- yond all description and around it were gathered IS girls and men who were Cora s-thinll of it, Mrs. Meyer 's-special friends. Really and truly, it was the most wonderfully beautiful wedding ever went to and I have determined that I shall have American Beauties and lilies at mine
 I'm sorry to see her go, but she will be wonderfully happy, and from MT. Mey- ers face I don't believe that he ever in his life before knew what happiness was.
 We shall miss her terribly at the club on Saturday nights-even tonight, when I go out to Mrs Fuckers dinner for Ame- lie Hill, it will seem strange without her.
 But we will continue to nave beautiful
 times and we will laugh and be the gayest lof the gay, for we are debutantes.
