the ushers' dinner took place all right,
otherwise we probably would have heard
that they had not arrived. Jacks two SIS
ters, Martha and Agnes, went down with
their mother, Mrs. John c.. Groome.
Martha, you remember, married Leland
Thompson, and Leland, by the way, Is TO
be one Of Jacks ushers. Agnes, his other
sister, who was named for her mother
married Dal Dixon.
It Is too bad that Colonel Groome and
Captain Dixon could not be here for the
wedding. The bride is Gladys! Teague' ana
Jack met her down in Augusta when ne
was there with the Twenty.eighth DIVISION
last year. He was transferred to the NJ. I.
over in France, you know. and returned
to this country lieutenant about Christ
mas time.
He went down to Augusta shortly after
that, and his engagement to Gladys was
announced in January. The wedding will
take place tomorrow at the Church OF the
Good Shepherd, down there, at noon,
Gladys is going to have her sister as maid
Of honor and one of Jacks small nieces as
flower girl.
There are not to be any bridesmaids, but
certainly the number of ushers makes up
for any lack of bridesmaids, for there are
to be twelve ushers and best man. L
asked Jack what Gladys was going to
wear, and he said: ooh, white something or
other that is soft and shiny. You know
what they all wear. Satin isn't it?' l
suppose the Harry Disstons will go from
their southern plantation to Augusta to
attend the wedding. Mrs. Disston, you
know, was Edith Roberts, a sister of Mrs.
Groome.
DOOR Effingham Perot I'd! He was to
L have been married on Easter Monday,
you know, to Helen Paist, of Norris
town, but he's been taken very i'll;
in fact was taken i'll at his fiancee's home,
and the doctors say he will not be suffi-
ciently recovered even by Easter to have
the ceremony. In fact, they will not allow
him to be moved from the Paist home.
They have been engaged for two years.
and it was announced in 1917, but they
did not marry sooner on account of their
youth. Even now Effingham Is but twenty
one. The invitations were out and have
had to be recalled until some indefinite
date, and in the meantime he is being
cared for in the Paist home. Let us hope
he will very soon be well.
vITE MAY be sure that Cornelia Leidy
w Cheston is happy person these days.
You remember she was married to Hammy
Cheston just a few days before he had to
sail for France and it's been the greater
part OF two years since their wedding
Well, Captain Cheston came home yes
terday on the Leviathan. He is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Cheston and a
first cousin of Captain Radcliffe Cheston
Jr., whose attractive young wife, Sydney
Ellis, died just few weeks ago. Did you
know that Mrs. Cheston's sister Helen
Ellis Payne's baby died since Mrs. Ches.
ton? Sorrows never seem to come singly
do they?
am glad that this return has no sor
row connected with it.
EVIDENTLY the women on the board OF
~ the Reed Street Neighborhood House
mean to make the dance on Easter Thurs
day big social affair. Certainly they
have about everybody who is anybody
(socially speaking) interested in the affair.
It's a subscription dance, and it's to be
held at the Ritz-Carlton. And it's to raise
a fund for a clubhouse for men and boys
in. the neighborhood of Reed street, where
there is neighborhood house.
