OF the legislators and the people deem 1t
best that the Assembly so thoroughly into
that situation and, complying with the Con-

from the burden OF high costs. That is lcgiti-
mate. but, in the absence OF any other emcr-
gency, it is the consensus of opinion that the
Assembly should go no further. resolution
to that effect would win the public approval

There is no other social occasion
so fraught with sentiment, is filled
with real heart-interest as home
wedding, to which only the real true
and tried" friends of the family are
hidden.
Such was the beautiful wedding of
Miss Mary Robson and Mr.. Robert
Skinner on Wednesday evening at the
attractive suburban home of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. B. Robson.
The wide lawns and winding drives,
the spacious verandas and hospitable
house, were all brilliantly lighted to
welcome the two hundred guests who
were hidden to the marriage feast.
The handsome home was most beau
tifully and artistically decorated with
spring flowers, all the wonderful bios
SONS being from the noted gardens
of the brides mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Skinner and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robson, the parents of the bride
and bridegroom, received the guests
in the hall, which was perfect bower
of flowers, shrubs and vines.
The drawing room on the left,
where the ceremony was performed,
had fringe of ivy, spaced at inter-
walls with cornucopias of snow balls.
The mantel was draped and banked
with these and with roses, tulips and
all the glowing flowers of the season.
One corner of the room was made
into an alcove by unique and charm
ing arrangement of the vines, and
quantities Of flowers. Here the i'm
pressive ceremony was performed by
DR.. jenkins, the President of Wes-
leyan College, which is the brides
Alma Mater.
At the appointed hour the sweet
strains of 90 Believe Me If All Those
Endearing Young Charms" sung by
Mrs. H. C. Dobbs, accompanied by
the orchestra, was followed by the
opening notes of Lohengrim's We'd
ding March. The bridal party de-
scended the stately stairway, whose
balustrade was wound with ropes of
vines and flowers.
The bridesmaids were Misses Beth
Skinner, Merlyn Hiley and Mrs. John
Flanagan, Of Macon, the maid of
honor, Miss Harriet Robson, and the
matron of honor, Mrs. George Nichols,
were as pretty as pictures in their
frocks of Georgette. Each carried
an old-fashioned rosary of vari-color-
ed flowers with lace paper holders,
showered with lilies-of-the-valley.
Last came the bride with her father,
Mr.. L. B. Robson, She was a vision
of loneliness in her exquisite wedding
gown, which was a creation of Geor-
gette and satin, embroidered in pearls,
and fashioned with a court train.
Her tulle veil was most becomingly

Her only ornament was an exquisite
necklace of pearls, the gift OF the
| groom.
| Her bouquet was most beautiful
one, made of those purest and most
fragrant of flowers, lilies-of-the-val-
lIey. A tender bit of sentiment on the
brides part was that her bridal bou-
ouet was made of the lilies from her
own home gardens.
She was met at the altar by the
groom and his best man, Mr.. Francis
Skinner. After plighting their troth
in the beautiful ring ceremony, Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Skinner turned to
greet the loving friends who thronged
about them with congratulations, fe-
| licitations and good wishes.
The dining room, where a dellc-
ious salad and ice course were served,
was all in pink. Here wild arzaleas,
roses and wigelia were lavishly used
in the decorations, and fringed around
the walls, the mantel, sideboard and
beautiful table, were all rosy as the
dawn.
In the drawing room to the right
were displayed the wedding gifts, and
no more beautiful array was ever
seen in Marietta.
One of the most interesting things
here was a picture of the handsome
home in Dunedin, Florida, which COM
pletely furnished, is one of the gifts
of the groom's parents.
A wonderful chest of silver was
gift of the brides parents; set OF
white and gold china was another
handsome gift; gorgeous big cedar
! crest was the gift of the brides Sis
ter. and this was filled with store
i of remarkable house linen that de-
serves a whole column to itself. In
addition to these was a bewildering
array of beautiful cut glass, silver,
china, pictures and some very fat
checks. Also was noted particular
" handsome standing lamp of gold
| leaf.
There has never been a girl in Ma
rietta more genuine beloved than
Mary Robson. Her popularity has
been attested to by the dozens of
beautiful parties given her by friends
since her engagement was announced,
and many unrecorded acts of love and
thoughtfulness by people from every
walk in life.
Handsome, charming, of sweet
and sunny nature, fine, intellectual,
and every home-making accomplish
ment, truly her worth is above rubies.
The young man who has won this
prize is a splendid young business

bride.
